4 years after my first visit, this place is still cranking out get food. While they have some staples that are constant, they have a continually rotating menu. Love that they also carry some gourmet items that HEB normally would carry, at least not a regular HEB.Recently I found that they have serrano ham that you are able to buy. This is the same serrano ham they use on their pan tomate dish. That dish is stupid and has been my go to every time I've been there.Love the variety of beverages they have: wine on tap, by the bottle, beer and non-alcoholic drinks. The space is just fantastic for an intimate get together while enjoying some pretty great eats.

Dos Olivos is one of those spots worth the drive from Austin to Buda. I appreciate their slightly changing menu with several consistent favorites that have remained on the menu each time I've visited. I can't eat here without ordering the barbacoa doughnuts - tender barbacoa with slightly spicy blue corn jalapeño doughnuts. The mushroom and truffle croquetas were very soft with a strong mushroom flavor. The grilled chicken thighs were delightfully crispy with tart green apple slices. The only item we didn't love was the broccolini, which came out cold and was a little too garlicky for our taste. The employees at Dos Olivos were all warm and welcoming, and the market itself is also cute, with some nice local food and kitchen products.

Food - 4.5 stars. Love the barbacoa donuts, pan con tomate and the chicken Karaage! I have had entrees as well but these are my go to!Wine selection could be better in my humble opinion. Service - 4 stars. Good but not consistent but has gotten way better over time Ambiance- 4 stars. Cute place and enjoy the little market selection of local products!

Two unforgettable things here are the Mac and cheese and the churros with chocolate dip. It's a restaurant that serves fusion of American/Spanish dishes. There's a store on the side with speciality items such as salsa dips, artisanal snacks, olive oil, and chips that are not usually found at regular grocery stores. Been here twice and each time always left satisfied with overall service and food.

First visit to Buda was cute, with Dos Olivos bringing the ambiance. Great location neighboring some other venues with indoor/outdoor dining and a parking lot to accommodate dine-in or carry-out service from the market. An impressive selection of bubbly beverages with and without ABV. Sampled a lot of food, and while the menu is appetizing and everything looked pretty, it was mostly just good. Generally under-seasoned or a little off in some way, but trying hard. The whipped feta is fresh and topped with a very nice olive oil, but would be more impressive with house-made naan or focaccia. Garlic shrimp were generously sized and cooked perfectly, but lacking salt. Open to sharing more critical feedback directly on several dishes not worth mentioning. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful, definitely the highlight of our visit. Live music on Saturdays, and while the acoustic soloist was great, you maybe could hear him from Austin (and this is more of a date spot). Killed the otherwise good vibes. Looking forward to exploring more of Buda, but I'm not sure I'd revisit this one without some major tweaks.

The minute I walked in, I liked this place. The developer in old Buda (don't dare pronounce it like the spiritual leader) has made something obsolete into a really neat venue. The restaurant is also a source of upscale vinegars, olive oils, and preserves.When I saw "Barbacoa Donuts" on the menu I went blind to anything else. If you like barbacoa, this is a must. It's slightly sweet, but the tiny donuts are made from whole wheat or some other dark flour. Congratulations to the chef for this adaptation of a classic Mexican dish!And I should mention that the waitstaff is a cut above.For an appetizer we had the whipped feta, which turned me from a feta hater to a lover. My wife had a fried salmon sandwich. She said it was meh, but I enjoyed finishing it.

My family and I had an amazing dining experience at Dos Olivos. We started with the highly recommended exquisite Barbacoa Doughnuts which was incredibly flavorful and unique. For the main course, we had the Chicken Karrage and Dos Olivos medium rare burger with pork belly, which was cooked to perfection. The service was top-notch, and our server was exceptionally friendly and attentive. The food was excellent, and the warm, inviting atmosphere made our visit even more enjoyable. This local gem is perfect for a delicious meal with family, and we will definitely be returning soon!

This place is so cute! Perfect vibe for an after work drink or date night. The staff was very attentive and kind. We ordered the Codfish croquets which I think are a limited time offering. They essentially taste like a high quality fish stick crossed with a mozzarella stick ... in the best way possible. They had a nice fried coating with salty seasoning. They were very warm and gooey. The caesar salad was also good! A classic caesar but the chicken on top (recommend by the staff) was so great! The chicken was thoroughly seasoned and juicy. I've never had chicken that was cooked this well on top of a salad before.

I have been coming here for several years now. It's gone through some management and name changes but the core of everything is still wonderful. The service is excellent and they have recently restructured the menu. They did leave one of my favorites which is the barbacoa donuts and I'm very grateful for that. The salsa on that dish is delicious. The newest item that I'm obsessed with is the whipped feta. I could have that just with a glass of wine and be a happy camper. The key here is serving it with warm pita. It's a small detail but it makes a big difference, which they do. They also changed from counter service to table service if that is something that interests you. It doesn't matter to me either way because I always had a great experience with both. Lots of natural light. Really great ambiance and a very robust wine selection as well as beer and wine fights. This is a must-see if you're in town and want something a little bit different on main Street.

How do you sell gift cards and then not accept gift cards upon our visit? We had three people come and take our order only for the order to be finalized after the third person. The customer service was atrocious. We spent more time waiting for a server than actually eating.
