16 Best Latin American Restaurants in Austin

“Amazing coffee and pastries… The owner was lovely!“

“How can I even describe this meal and experience?!! From start to finish, it was amazing! The service is attentive, friendly and welcoming. We had the pleasure of meeting Iken, Jordan, Michael and Fasa. These guys took amazing care of us! The drinks were so good. Now, the food… OMG! Every single thing we ate was delicious. The shrimp appetizer stole the show. Highly recommend this dining experience!“

“First time having Peruvian food. Loved it! So many unique flavors...“

“The people here were very friendly. We got a few baleadas. They were big and warm and authentic--my boyfriend lived in Honduras for two years and said they were delicious. The thick flour tortillas were handmade and delicious. They are also a cash only establishment, so bring a couple bills.“

“Atmosphere is awesome, drinks we're great & #djlamoon was spinning the jams! Great place to hang out!“

“The tamales are really good but are tiny and are mostly masa. I'm from El Paso and the tamales in EP set an impossible standard. The ladies who work here are super sweet so the three star tamales here get and extra star bump for the customer service.“

“Such a great experience with service and food. Delicious!!“

“We first experienced Four Brothers Venezuelan through a catering order at our company that had recently got an office space above the fare ground location. First off, typically when we go out to eat we gravitate towards American food, so we didn’t have much experience when it came to Venezuelan food and/or fully know what we were about to dig our teeth into. We’ve only had arepas once before Four Brothers at a place in Colorado, but we weren’t blown away, so we were curious how we’d like the cuisine. The catering order was a build your own arepa’s bar. They brought up the order right on time inside a warming cabinet so the food stayed hot and fresh and then displayed it out so you could walk the line creating an arepa of wonder and add the sides your heart desired! We were SO GLAD that we gave Venezuelan food in general another chance because daaammnnnn we didn’t realize HOW good Venezuelan food could be when the restaurant you order from home makes the arepas, along with their sauces and meats. The arepas were the perfect size to utilize as either a sandwich or even an open faced sandwich, kinda like a tostada style! They were dense and thick so you could load them up with all the goodies! The catering order came with pulled pork (rumbera), catira (chicken), fresh arepas, some fluffy perfectly cooked basmati rice, fresh cabbage/spinach, sofrito black beans, plantains, yucca fries, queso fresco, Venezuelan cream (like a crema or sour cream), pico de gallo, and the most flavor sauces ever: avocado and a garlic sauce! Lets just start by saying we are MEAT lovers and while the meats were both super delicious, the black beans made us stop chewing to take a moment to appreciate how much flavor was packed in what we thought would be “just” a side dish. That was NOT the case! Those alone could be a standout main arepa topping! Even the plantains… WOW! In the past I’ve never been a plantain lover because I find them to be sopping in oil, soggy and underwhelming. Let’s just say thanks to Four Brothers I’ve been converted! I loved them so much I’m wondering how I can eat plantains and sofrito black beans everyday! The plantains were soft yet dense, savory yet a mild sweetness that came though at the end. OOMMGG! Who knew?! The yucca fries were like the perfect French fry soft on the inside and a crispy outside. The sauces…. Wow…. The garlic sauce… reminded me of a cilantro garlic sauce, but way better!! It was sooo flavorful and creamy and while the garlic was there it didn’t burn your tongue! I could drink it! We had taken some leftovers home and we didn’t think the food would develop even more flavor the next day, especially the chicken! The air fryer was perfect to reheat the plantains and yucca fries and it was so wonderful even being able to create our own little bowls at the house… ummm they’d be great for meal prep for the week! Wink wink! Looking at their regular menu we know that we will HAVE TO experience them again! They have some crispy looking cheese and even mini arepa varieties which look incredible so you can feel responsible while also trying a variety! Four brothers completely changed our view on Venezuelan food! Seriously they are a flavor you will never forget and you might even become addicted to a new cuisine you never even thought about! You MUST try them, whether you visit one of their locations or get a catering order for your family or heck meal prep for the week! Thank you for providing an incredible catering experience and some of the best flavorful food we’ve had!“

“After having this on my Must Try list for the past three years, I was finally able to try Boteco, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Picanha Grelhada. The steak was cooked medium rare, just the way I like it. It paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice, veggies, farofa, and of course, the fried egg. It was my first time eating farofa, and I enjoyed the added texture (almost couscous-like). The staff was also incredibly friendly! The only thing to note is that the pricing has changed quite heavily. On Yelp, you'll find that many of the menu images show the Picanha Grelhada to be around $14-$16; however, the current price is around $20. Enjoyed the food, but it admittedly is a slightly steep price for the portion size. Overall, a great area with lots of seating and parking available. Would definitely recommend.“

“I'm from Florida and until I found this truck totally felt that the Cuban food in Austin was lacking -- this place has the real stuff!Highly recommended for the food and the service. My only complaint is the mega loud generator --> not sure why they can't just get power from the grid there at the Hive...probably some strange Austin food-truck law; otherwise, it's great!“

“Food was incredible, like really good nachos and quesadillas and tacos. Delicious. Fast service. Lovely people. Turfing the playscape with padded turf would make it 10x safer and better. Right now, it is just non-level dirt. My non-walking child couldn't be let down to play/explore. The main dining area and bar/tv's seemed to be closed. Maybe still under renovation? Lots of mosquitos. Not sure if there is standing water that needs to be addressed. Despite all this, will be back for the food!“

“The friendly waitress was very nice, the food was excellent in a relaxing atmosphere, the taste of the food was delicious. I'm from El Salvador and I loved the Central American touch of home ? ? It's quite far away but I'll still come back! Blessings! ?“

“Sabrosa comida catracha que me recuerda a Honduras! Muy buen servicio!“

“Solid breakfast menu. Pricing on par for what you would expect at a Four Seasons (not cheap, but quality is high). My pancake duo was delicious and well made. Bacon was crispy and comes 4 to an offer. Staff are courteous, but service was pretty slow this morning. Coffee is also pricy but decent. All in all, not a bad option for breakfast if you don't want to or don't have time to leave the property.“

“Excelente comida, un buen servicio, las instalaciones muy agradables“

“I got kicked out of the strip club across the street, so I went here. This is a fantastic place to have an existential crisis after a bouncer tells you to leave the strip club because you are ruining your life and the experience at the club for the other patrons. I was also kicked out of this coffee shop, but I'm a scumbag and I shouldn't be allowed in anyways.“
