JFC, $14 guac? Yes you heard that right. Guac should not be expensive. Guac should be simple, made with simple ingredients, not these fancy ass ingredients. Yes, it was tasty but you could've had the same results with run of the mills avocados, tomatoes, onions and chile, instead of these velvet rope wanna be ingredients. But hey, if you want to pay for over priced guac, it's your money, bro. The other thing, these silly rules they have about seating. The kinda rules that make you say, "No mames, guey." While I understand seating full parties, we got there super early, before they opened, to request an outside counter height table and were denied since it only sat 10 people and we had 11 people. We even suggested that we'd stand so we could all be outside. The request was denied again. Needless to say, we took our work party somewhere else after the first drink. Pinches Mamadas. Drinks were good. Nothing that would make go back. Again, you can get same quality of better for less somewhere else. Their saving grace was their service. The server kept checking on us and was super apologetic. Austin had plenty of mediocre or better options for mexican food and drinks for lesser money. Hell, try the taco mile and bring your own drink and save yourself some gas and money. read more

Bulevar has a great vibe (at least in the main space) and some carefully considered cocktails while the food is mostly quite good. On entry you're likely to have a very good impression. This is a nice relaxing space with a great vibe. The bar is the start of the show up front and you'll do well to sit down there for a bit and have a drink. The mescal cocktails, in particular, are really good here and the bartenders are top notch. Also... that Zorro painting. Food here is pretty good but a bit pricey for what it is. We tired (of course) the carne asada, the wagyu, and the sea bass, and while all were of very high quality I wouldn't say any of them illicited an OMG when digging in. This is a personal preference but when I order carne asada I expect it to be thin and for some reason every time it comes out as a thicker steak something gets lost in translation; this is one of the better thicker cuts of the dish I've had and still it's kind of underwhelming compared to lots ot traditional Mexican places I've had it. The only other nitpick is the back dining area really doesn't carry the relaxing aesthetics and it's kind of a let down to have been sat back there. I think next time I'll plant myself at the bar the whole evening and take it all in. read more

We came in for Friday happy hour, and this place was packed! I was surprised at how busy the place was as it is kind of out of the way. We started off with margaritas and they were good and strong. LAMB BARBACOA GORDITA: this was actually really good and was complimented well with the guac on top. The herby Guacamole was also good and went well with the margs. The Tacos del fuego were surprisingly really good, and were loaded with meat. The snapper Aguachile was the best thing we had and it was such a unique take on the dish and worked surprisingly well! Would come back for this! Overall a good happy hour spot! read more

A solid first visit for me to Bulevar. Decided to try out their Friday lunch, started with the Hamachi appetizer, which was extremely good. Followed up with the Pibil main course, which was a very generous portion. The entree itself was a bit too salty, but otherwise quite good. Service excellent. Would give 4.5 stars if that were an option, but definitely interested in going back for evening cocktail service. read more

Food was delicious and tasty, not dry at all with plenty marinated. The masa and esquites were great to start. Potatoes and shrimp were our two sides with the main, seasoned and large with plenty to share. Chicken and steak were marinated well with what tasted like some corn sauce which gave a great after taste. We sat inside but the view outside is worth going for. Service was slow but not sure if they were busy or understaffed, our server shared all the beef special which some were vegetarian or chicken people so it didn't apply but food made up for it. Need a reservation so book it. read more

Amazing. The sauces. The steak. You name it. Everything is delicious. We will be back!

Stopped in here on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner. I suggest a reservation. They open at 4, and at 4:25 they are able to accommodate us, but only on the patio. We did Jalapeño Happy hour margs. Delicious! We decided to forgo entrees and to the tacos and machete and queso on the HH menu with a side of Esquites (corn) everything was delicious and we left stuffed. I didn't have to order the salsa of the day to get chips and salsa. I feel like a restaurant where you spend 100+ on just happy hour should have complimentary. Chip's and salsa. Alas, we loved it and will be back! *they offer valet but I always chuckle because it just doesn't seem needed here. read more

My friend and I were seated on the outside patio area during the sunset. They have automatic blinds that went up around 8pm. We ordered our cocktails and didn't receive them until about 830pm. I ordered the pasion y paraiso. The drink was 80% ice and I barely tasted alcohol so I ordered a different cocktail. We ordered the guacamole and crab for an appetizer and received it around 845pm. It was tasty. I ordered the Chilean sea bass for my main course. The fish was cooked well but the potato underneath was a bit salty. I enjoyed the food and ambiance but the service was unsatisfactory. We ended up leaving around 1030pm and arrived for our reservation at 8pm. read more

After dining at ATX Cocina, which we love, Bulevar was just ok. We stopped in for an early dinner and sat inside as the outside patio, while boasting incredible views, covered and equipped with fans, was still a bit too humid. As soon as we were seated, we were approached by Lindsey who did a great job of detailing the specials, sharing her favorites and remained attentive throughout our visit. We tried the duck carnitas and they were good and were packed with flavor. The don frijole y queso was disappointing as there were so many beans, the queso got lost in it and we felt as if we were eating a bean dip instead. For our mains, we chose the Australian king prawns, carne asada and esquites. We live downtown and dine out frequently, so we do not balk at the prices of our meals, however, I have to agree with other reviewers on this platform and Google that for the money you spend, you should get a bit more. For instance, the Australian prawns at $36 is just the prawns with an incredible sauce, but that is all that you get. The carne asada was good and while it comes with a half stuffed poblano pepper, it was not worth $48. We love Mexican street corn/esquites, but this dish was missing lime and seasoning, so we only ate half of it. The other issue we faced throughout our meal were the flies buzzing through the restaurant. They were so annoying, I felt like asking for a fly swatter. I have heard that the happy hour is decent and I would probably come back but only if I happen to be in the area. However, with Eddie V's being right next door and Truluck's a block away, that would be a hard sell. read more

We were in the Arboretum area, checking out a few shops, and sipping away at a Del's Lemonade from the Farmer's Market, when hunger struck at 4 pm. Reacting, we decided on Bulevar Mexican Kitchen, since, hey, it's just down the hill from the Arboretum shops, by Capital of Texas Highway. So we whizzed out through Pottery Barn out the back and arrived at the parking lot shared by Bulevar and Eddie V's Prime Seafood. Both locations offer complimentary valet parking, but you aren't forced to use it. There are plenty of spaces to self-park, but valet does block of the curb adjacent to the restaurant and the part of the parking lot farthest from the restaurant. Note that some of the spots are compact car parking, and others aren't, but the signage doesn't exist. Entering into the establishment, you'll be greeted by the host/hostess near the bar area. If you wish to be seated they offer "inside" and "outside" seating options. The inside seating closer to the bar area will be noisier, and is centrally located in the restaurant. There is also seating near the windows, and near the rear outdoor patio area. The decor in the center of the restaurant near the bar is dimmer and darker, while the decor around the perimeter is brighter and warmer. After being seated, we browsed the menu; our waiter explained the menu to us and described his favorites. We ended up obtaining the Burrata + Salsa Taquera to start, the Kanpachi and Mixto Pibil for mains, and opted for the flan (spiced flan) for dessert. The Burrata + Salsa Taquera is essentially chips and salsa, but with burrata, smoked trout roe, and sliver thin fried onions added in. Because the burrata is cold, the salsa is also cold. The spiciness of the salsa was enough to mute some of the taste of the burrata. The salsa itself could probably have used a tad more salt, but I suppose the roe was supposed to provide the salt. When the roe was tasted alone, it was slightly fishy, but when eaten with the other ingredients, the fishiness was not noticeable. The super thin fried onions were fun, crispy, and salty enough to eat by themselves, and were the first item noticed, because they seemed to be quite novel. We weren't sure if they were onions or green onions. The fried tortilla crisps were beautifully arranged in a wooden bowl. Overall, this was enjoyable, especially towards the end when breaking into the burrata cream itself. But I think I would have possibly enjoyed it more if the salsa were warm. The Kanpachi was enough to feed a pair of individuals. It comes with small tortillas which are made in the kitchen. I thought the marinated cucumbers slices were zucchini slices. The sauce surrounding the fish is savory. The red dollops are some spicy ground chili, along with some seeds and nuts. I also found some macadamia nuts underneath the fish. The fish itself is topped with cilantro, red onion, a lime slice, the marinated cucumber slices, and the fish itself seems to have been grilled. The fish had a great flavor and was moist, but needs a larger quantity to combat the stronger flavor of the tortillas (if you're making fish tacos). But the fish itself can be enjoyed perfectly alone. The Mixto Pibil came in a wooden bowl. It was topped with radish slices, pickled onions, and a white onion cilantro mix. The braised pork was well-seasoned and delectable alone, but even better with all the toppings inside a tortilla with a bit of guacamole. The tortillas provided were made fresh in the kitchen. They are on the thinner (less fluffy), and smaller (in diameter) side. They arrived in wooden bowls, and are kept warm by linen towels. Each bowl only contains 5. Guacamole, lime, and a non-spicy one-noted salsa verde accompanied them. The guacamole was chunky with some onion within. The flan (Fall Spiced Flan) was spiced with some vanilla and cinnamon. The syrup on top was thick, rather than runny, and it can switch some nuts in top. It was served in a glass ramekin. It was noticeably sweet, but not excessively sweet, though I would have liked it to be a tad less sweet. It was a heavier, richer flan, rather than a light, fluffy, simple flan, and it had those vanilla and cinnamon notes. To conclude: great, filling food, presented nicely, creative, relatively flavorful, and executed satisfyingly well. Service is on point. Doggie bags are provided. Bathrooms are opposite the entrance, by the bar, and feature higher quality paper towels, automatic faucets, and slightly aromatic hand soap. However, the bathroom floor has a greasy feel. It would very reasonable to come back here to try other menu items. read more

So the ambience is great, but that is it. The service was slow, not attentive and the food was absolutely awful. Hands down the worst food I have had in Austin. And I eat out, a lot. The chips at the beginning were great, but every entree was covered in way too much sauce and had way too much salt. The steak was $180 and over 25% of what was grisly and fat. This place was so incredibly disappointing and ran $400 to for 4 people. Hands down, incredibly disappointed. Also, the waiter never asked how things were, as everybody at the table was waiting for the opening to provide feedback. We opted to just leave after we didn't get any attention. read more

Rough start transformed into an incredible experience! Watch out for the apps! Somehow our party and reservation was pushed to the patio with high tables ... which would never have worked for some elderly family in our party (plus the heat)! The manager worked to seat us where we intended the reservation ... not the best, but an adequate indoor accommodation led to let the food and service work their magic. Amazing food that stood out - stupid prices, but given the fine taste and super slow service - somehow you just have to admit this is an exceptional deliverable. So, I'd highly suggest giving this place a try. Be patient and see for yourself! Enjoy. read more

If you are looking for upscale dining in Austin, and do not feel like dealing with parking headaches downtown Austin, go to Bulgar. If I had to describe this place in one word, it would be FLAVOR! You could tell that their meat is marinated to perfection. The guac is amazing! The tacos are bomb! I was doing my happy dance after every bite! Also, it has a great look and feel. The service is amazing. I can't wait to go back! read more

Bulevar was a wonderful surprise that my partner and I stumbled upon when looking for somewhere to go for lunch. The ambiance, decor, service and food were all superb. This may have been one of the best meals I've had in the 4 years I've been living in Austin. Their Friday lunch had a wonderful spread of options and not a single item disappointed. From the lunch tacos to the carne asada and the Hamachi every item was fresh, vibrant and had us reaching for another bite. I could not recommend Bulevar more! read more

Incredible dinner at Bulevar last night! I was super blown away by everything we ordered starting with the Pasion y Paraiso (mezcal cocktail), lump crab guacamole, Whole Branzino, Pollo a las Brasas, Coal Roasted Sweet Potatoes and some of the best Brussels I've ever had. I loved the preparation of all the dishes! Ambiance was lovely - I used to go to that space all the time since the late 90s when it was Z Tejas! Be sure to check them out soon. Same group as ATX Cocina downtown. -- at Arboretum. And very gluten free friendly! Parking lot and valet available. read more

Wish I could've done a five, but there were some issues. Here goes: Once I got past the giant painting of the owner dressed as Zorro, we were seated at the table and what was an extremely noisy evening. The menu is a bit odd. They've kept the wood grill, which was a remnant of the previous restaurant in this location, the must beloved Z Tejas. What is odd, is that they've decided to do high end steaks on it, and while they were designed for two, we just couldn't get past $113+ for a steak. A bit bold considering they are next-door to Eddie V's, which specializes in steaks. To make it odder, the waiter was very clear that the hamachi was the best thing on the menu: raw Japanese fish, and I'm sorry but adding habanero and some avocado doesn't make it Mexican. So we went Mexican, ordering the crab guacamole, which was excellent, the duck enchiladas, and the prawns. They do have a nice selection of Mezcal, and I did sip one. What we had was excellent, and we will go back. I'm not sure what else to say about the somewhat odd menu selection read more

This restaurant has easily become one of my favorite in Austin! For my second time here, I got dinner with my fiance and we ordered the salsa tasting, tuna, duck carnitas huarache and their special of the day (miso Kampachi). All of the food was amazing, each with vibrant and unique flavors, and plating. I will say that the special fell a little flat compared to the rest of the dishes - for delicious tacos, I would recommend getting the mixto pibil. Service was on point with friendliness and timeliness such as taking our order and replenishing our chips for the salsa tasting. The overall ambiance is great with some dim lighting and stone walls. The only other downside to this restaurant is the limited parking. Luckily, I was able to find a spot each time I went but the lot is also a bit tight on space. read more

I was a party of 6. Started off with some great cocktails. All tasted nice and refreshing. I was a big fan of the Eucalypso and the Pasion y paraiso but you must like mezcal to drink it. Moved on to appetizers. The lump crab guacamole was so good. Tons of crab, the albondigas was also really good. Sope del fuego was a crowd pleaser. There is 3 to an order. For the meals. Everything was so good. The shrimp and the scallop dishes were nice and lemony. The carne asada was really good but the 2 stand out dishes were the wood grilled fish and the mixto Pibil. For the sides the esquites (corn) had a nice Smokey flavor and the papas a la plancha were also really good too. Covered in oil and has a little kick to it. I would bring a jacket. We were right under an ac vent and it was freezing. If the weather is nice I would recommend to sit outside. Nice view of the sunset read more

Great new spot, with plenty of dishes to try. We came by on a Wednesday during HH and by the time we left, the place was packed. I definitely recommend getting a reservation. Make sure to note, if you want to take part in the HH, you need to be sitting in the bar area (bar or tables). We ordered the following: Salsa Tasting Hamachi Taco De Trompo Fish of the Day Sweet Potato Corn Churros We were definitely stuffed by the time we left. Hands down favorite was the Tacos de Trompo. They were filled with an explosion of flavor in every bite. I easily could have ordered 3 orders of just those and been very happy. Biggest disappointment were the salas and hamchi. Both were on the expensive side and simply just not worth it (taste or cost). Definitely should have stuck with the queuso. All that being said, the chips and tortillas were great, and the sweet potato was a surprise gem. Lastly, if you are going for happy hour, make sure to order the Hielo Mescal. It may look small, but it packs a punch! We'll be back to try some additional dishes. read more

We visited the recently opened Bulevar for dinner last Fall to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant was remodeled in the former space of the former Z'Tejas in the Arboretum. The remodel was refreshing, good job re-vitalizing the former space. Looking back on the pictures from the evening, it appears that drinks were the highlight! LOL We sampled the house margherita, La Sirena, Eucalypse, prickly pear martini, and champagne on the house. All delicious, drinks rated at 5 stars! On to the food ... we started with the Machete and the house Caesar salad. The machete was a blend of lamb cheek, pork, smoked jalapeños, onions and cheese rolled up in a tortilla and pan seared... was a good taco, elevated price. On the other hand, the house Caesar salad was delicious! Plentiful and the dressing was awesome! For our main courses we had the bone-in ribeye and the fish special with red and green salsas. The steak was expertly prepared, and delicious! The fish was good, but the red/green salsas were just OK. All in all, a good dinner in a nicely refurbished space. The good was good, but not excellent for the price point. read more

As the sister restaurant to ATX Cocina, I had high hopes for this place, and they totally delivered. A wide variety of options on the menu that are all shareable and perfect for date night or large groups. The drinks were also excellent- I had the house margarita and well as a spicy one. Our server, Joe, was awesome. He explained everything and gave a disclaimer about the steaks taking a bit to cook, so if you plan to order one, be sure to plan accordingly. He also pointed out that they tend to refresh the menu every few weeks, so there are always rotating options to enjoy. We started with the salsa trio and duck carnitas. Following this, ordered the campachena, hamachi, lamb chops, shishitos, and corn. Everything was truly so delicious and had a very different flavor profile. I will add a warning--- the shishitos were VERY spicy. And I mean VERY SPICY for shishitos. However, I am a fan of burn your mouth-hot, so they were enjoyable after a few. Those were not labeled as hot so if I can save someone's shock prior to experiencing it, so be it. Overall a beautiful ambiance and dining experience. The tables on the patio/near the windows have a beautiful view of the hills. Will absolutely be back! read more

Great services from the host, manager, server, to assistant servers. We were there on a Saturday at 7:30pm. They seemed hustling and bustling. I highly recommend the bone in ribeye (tender and juicy) and Esquites (corn). We also had the guacamole with gumbo lump crabmeat and hamachi for appetizer, but the hamachi ended up coming out with our entrees. Their seafood items all came out much later for some reason including the scallops. We also ordered the half roasted chicken (Pollo a las Brasas), which was nicely done with the creamy sauce. The drinks were ok: Artnom 1146 Anejo tequila with agave, Manhattan, Dirty Martini, and Campo de Suernos. Giant props: the seats are comfortable!! Always a BIG positive in my book. It's a great place for dates, friends, etc. I actually saw a guest with a baby carrier! I didn't hear the baby cry though. read more

I really enjoyed my first visit to Bulevar. They opened in the space where Z Tejas used to be. Same restaurant group (Larry Foles), just new concept. Aesthetically: The space is gorgeous! They made the bar much bigger and added tons of additional seating. Probably seats 20-30? Service: 15/10 !! The staff was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. Everyone we interacted with from the hostesses to the servers, it was flawless. Each table has 2 servers to ensure great customer service and no delays. Drinks: 15/10 !! They have an extensive tequila & mezcal list, which is to be expected, however their most popular margarita on the menu was so tasty we had quite a few each. Pricey but worth it. Food: 10/10 - Upon initial glance at the menu, I didn't see anything that caught my eye. However after speaking with the server, he recommended quite a variety of things to try. We shared everything we ordered: Guacamole: 12/10 - exceptional flavor without being too spicy, salty, lime-y, etc. Salsa sampler: the verde salsa was hands down the best. Next time I go back I'll just ask for that one. Bone-In Filet (16oz): 15/10 it was to die for!! So tender, already cut off the bone. Perfect amount for 2 of us to split with everything else we had. Shishito Peppers: 6/10 - They were flavorful but honestly too smokey for me, and I typically love shishitos Hamachi: 10/10 - fantastic balance of flavors with tons of meat to enjoy Elote: 8/10 - I personally didn't try, but my friend said it was a great accompaniment to a main course Empanada: 9/10 - the fact that it has goat cheese in it is what sold us on trying it. I found it to be perfectly balanced flavor wise and definitely worth a try. Churros: 10/10 - who doesn't love homemade churros?? They had a perfect crunch and came with both a caramel & chocolate dipping sauce. Overall the visit definitely warranted 5 stars and I'll be back. I recommend making a reservation as they're starting to get much busier. Luckily we had one, but for a Tuesday evening at 7pm they had an hour long wait for a party of 2 without one. read more

One word to describe this place AMAZING.. okay maybe two words INSANELY GOOD. Hubs and I tried this place and let's just say from drinks to appetizers to main course everything was phenomenal. I had their LA SIRENA drink and the PASION Y PARAISO both were amazing. We also had the salsa tasting, tuna tostada, and Hamachi collar as starter and they were all flavorful, good starter portion and delicious. For main dish i had the chicken, full of flavor and so moist and hubby had Mixto Pibil which was juicy and so flavorful. Highly recommend this place. We loved it so much that we will be going back next week to celebrate a friends birthday & bring our friends end of the year when they are visiting ATX. The service was also exceptional, our waitress Monica was so sweet and nice. read more

Made it to Bulevar for the very first time tonight and it did not disappoint! Great ambiance, friendly staff, yummy food, and beautiful interior displays...what else can you ask for? The entrance is beautifully designed and I like how they have several high tops near the entrance - perfect spots for drinks while you wait for the table. We arrived around 6pm on a weekday and the restaurant was half full. We made a reservation and got a nice indoor spot with stunning sunset view. Drinks menu is impressive - I was surprised to find how many tequila/mezcal options they have in the menu. Cocktail list was great too! Food-wise, we love EVERYTHING we ordered, from appetizers to entrees (and yes, we were too full to have dessert so saved that for next time), every dish was so flavorful and delicious. The crab meat guacamole was one of the best I've ever had. The wagyu steak screwer + green pepper grilled cheese was exceptional...and the half chicken we ordered was the best di the night!! The purée was super yummy and I highly recommend . Can't wait to go back and try other stuffs on the menu! read more

The food and drinks were delicious, but what made the experience great was the service! The staff made us feel right at home and made sure we had everything we needed. We really wanted to try the machete but they were sold out for the night. We had the duck carnitas huarache instead, per recommendation, and it did not disappoint. It was super tender and did not have the gamey taste I was expecting. The real highlight of the night was the pollo a las brasas. My husband typically does not like chicken, but this dish may be the exception. The chicken was perfectly cooked - juicy and tender and it also had a unique smokey flavor. There are so many other dishes I'd love to try. Can't wait to go back! read more

Bulevar is an interesting place. The food is very good. Usually the service is amazing and the overall vibe of the restaurant is really cool, however, it's definitely overpriced and the portion sizes can be a bit small. We ordered 2 mocktails, a cocktail, a beer, chips and salsa, 2 appetizers and 2 entrees with one side and the total with tip was $235 - a pretty hefty sum. However, the salsas were really tasty, the duck dishes are the best duck I've ever had. The mocktails use non-alcoholic spirits (yay!). The machete is such an amazing quesadilla. The green beans are epic and the short rib absolutely delicious! I'd say it's generally worth it for a nice night out, just know going into it that you're going to be spending more than you think. Overall great experience last night for my belated birthday dinner! read more

My bestie and I tried Bulevar for the first time on Friday around 3pm. Went to sit at the bar since we were on a time crunch and had to be in and out within 30 minutes. We had the margarita de casa which is delicious and refreshing. Not your typical pre mix tasting margarita. We started with the Guacamole with salsa macha and the salsas de día. All very delicious and fresh. We enjoy spice though and would caution those who may be spice sensitive. I loved the freshness of the chips as well. We shared the snapper agua chile and taco sucios. All of it was so good! Tasting the char or Smokey flavor on the meat from the tacos, not many restaurants provide that experience. Because everything was so good we opted to try a dessert which was their blueberry tres leches parfait. Also fresh light and some tartness. The only thing I would change about it is to add more brûlée'd nuts on top. The bartender Rich was also friendly and helped to enhance our first visit. Will def be returning to try more of their menu. read more

Just go! We were originally coming in for happy hour and saw the rest of the menu and ordered more than we thought we would! The passion fruit margarita is amazing - so delicious! we also got the queso with beans (HH) and it was incredible and a big portion too! We also got the cochinita pibil and carne asada. The carne asada was INCREDIBLE. Our absolute favorite thing of the night! The cochinita pibil was very flavorful and a big portion as well - we took some home and had some for lunch the next day! Both delicious but the carne asada flavor was a stand out for us and the chili relleno was so good too. The dessert was delicious too and I think everything is gluten free which is amazing for me!

I have eaten at Bulevar multiple times. But I took my mother, child, and future husband to eat there on the Thursday prior to our wedding and we had a blast. Arissa, our server, was incredibly knowledgeable. Especially when it came to wine. She had a shadow (trainee, Jacob) and he was also incredibly helpful especially for being new. The restaurant was a little loud for my mother's liking, but she quickly got over it when none of us were talking because the food was so good. I highly recommend this place. read more

Fabulous food and love the ability to share some small plates prior to the main course. The crab guacamole was excellent! Service was great, our waiter was very attentive and the food was delivered exactly as ordered. read more
