Bulevar

Bulevar in North Austin offers a modern twist on Mexican cuisine, featuring dishes bursting with vibrant flavors and innovative combinations.MUST ORDER:---Crispy Birria Tacos (2 per order): These tacos feature chile-braised beef and queso stuffed into crispy shells and served steaming hot. Don't skip the julienned jalapeño and onion garnish--pile it onto the tacos before dunking them into the rich consommé for an irresistible, cheesy, crunchy, and savory experience.---Tacos del Fuego (3 per order): This dish combines tender pork belly and juicy flank steak marinated in guajillo BBQ sauce, topped with pineapple habanero salsa, and served on house-made purple and yellow corn tortillas. The sweet-spicy balance created a deliciously indulgent bite.WORTH TRYING:---Duck Carnitas Tetela: Shredded duck is layered beneath a comforting tetela (a corn pocket filled with sweet potato), then topped with fresh salsa and crisp radish slices. The generous portions of duck meat paired beautifully with the earthy, satisfying flavors of the dish.---Hamachi: Fresh yellowtail chunks are served in tangy ponzu sauce, accompanied by burnt pineapple, habanero heat, and creamy avocado aioli. Juicy pomegranate seeds added a refreshing crunch of sweetness.CAN SKIP:---Herby Guacamole: This guacamole included jalapeños and onions but lacked flavor and wasn't fully mashed, making it bland. They offer two other unique options--Hazelnut Macha and Verde Crab--try those instead.AMBIANCE: Bulevar occupies an expansive, contemporary hacienda-style space with soaring ceilings, artful murals, and a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere, perfect for large gatherings and date nights.SERVICE: The service was friendly and genuinely attentive, carefully accommodating allergy requests. The dishes arrived promptly one after another without any delay.Final Thoughts: We thoroughly enjoyed nearly every dish and look forward to returning to explore more of the dinner menu and enticing brunch offerings featuring steak and eggs.

Wow! One of the best dinners I've had in a long time. First and foremost I wanted to say thank you to the sweet hostess that helped me! I made reservations for Valentine's Day and I was running super late but she was still able to make it work and accommodate me and my husband. Bulevar is a gorgeous restaurant and I love the aesthetics! I requested for a booth table which was by the bar area and open-kitchen which I enjoyed. Our waiter was fantastic and made some great recommendations as this was our first time dining at Bulevar. Must try their CRAB TOSTADAS appetizer, chefs kiss! We loved it so much we ordered two rounds of it lol. For our entree we ordered their 32 oz bone-in ribeye, and for the side dishes their Esquites and Papas Frita and everything was amazing! Bulevar checked all the boxes for me and I'd say is prob my top 5 fav restaurants in the Austin area. I can't wait to come back!

This is first rate Mexican food. Every single plate we had was delicious. The menu is an eclectic mix of Mexican favorites but they add their own unique flavors to enhance the dish. For starters, the bean and queso dip is a unique take that works well. The mix of queso, bean purée, and tomatillo sauce is crazy good. Not to mention the homemade crunchy tostada chips just elevate the dish. The Birria and En Fuego tacos are equally delicious. Perfectly cooked and perfect portions for sharing. My favorite was the Blue crab tostadas. Mini nacho type tostadas stacked with Lump blue crab and dressed with. Jalapeño sauce and a sliced radish. Delicious! Service was friendly and prompt.

Me and my wife started out with the ceviche which was really good. Big portions and tasted very fresh. For the entrees I had the Mixo Pibil which was solid, a little under seasoned but had a great green sauce to go on top and the portions were honestly for two. My wife ended up going with the barbacoa short ribs which was good however the spice really sat in our stomachs. It wasn't super spicy eating it but one of those dishes that kind of sits there and makes your stomach burn a bit. My wife also had a Mexican Martini that was excellent.Good spot overall but the pricing was pretty steep for Mexican food. Might be a happy hour kind of spot.

One of the best dinners I have everrrr had. Definitely top 3 and I've been to lots of places. The ambience is amazing, food deliciousssss! There are so many different flavors in their dishes I just wanted to try everything. This was my first time having Halibut, I'm usually a branzino girly but the Halibut had me in a chokeholddddd. One of the best fish dishes I've ever tasted.The Carne Asada was crazy tinder and so good. Surprisingly I LOVED the crab tostadas I was a little curious and it turned out to be my favorite appetizer besides the birria tacos that melt in your mouthhhhh!!! Drinks 10000/10!! This is definitely my new spot I'm so glad it's close to me. I know this is ATX Cocina sister restaurant but I think they have them beattttt. Both delicious but Bulevar is a different level of fine dining! Must try, don't overthink it just go.

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!

Bulevar is my favorite Austin restaurant of the year. The food, the drinks, the ambiance, the staff, and most importantly - the food, is ******* amazing. Our waitress was phenomenal, she really made our experience that much better. I was very impressed. Our favorite dishes of the night included the Chilean sea bass, the ginger vinaigrette crudo, and the wood roasted pollo asado. I could go on for a while talking about how wonderful their food is but you really just have to try it.

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!

First time here, reservations are recommended but we chose walk in when they opened for our team lunch of 5 people. It's a beautiful place upon entering with open concept and design. The menu had so many wonderful options and will definitely have to come back to try more. Highlights were the birria tacos, the papas fritas and the ayocote salad. Since it was a working lunch no cocktails but the cocktail menu is expansive and sounds delicious.

I think i've reviewed this place once before. I've dined here with my company multiple times and each visit is amazing. With our big group the staff are patient and always friendly. Big thank you to our waitress Lexi! She's such a pro. The food is always amazing and drinks are always on point. Thank you Bulevar and see you soon for my next work dinner!
