- RNRobertNHouston •2 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoFirst time here. They were out of some of the items on the menu which was somewhat disappointing. The appetizer that we did have was excellent. Margarita was pretty good. We split the roast chicken and a potato side dish. Both were very tasty with interesting flavors, however the chicken in some places was undercooked. We mentioned that to our server who told the manager and they took the chicken off the bill. Very gracious. The restaurant itself was very pleasant with an outdoor seating area that overlooked the hillside. We would definitely go back.More infoBulevar Mexican Kitchen$$$$• Contemporary Mexican• Arboretum•4.6

Austin’s booming dining scene is one of the many reasons the vibrant capital of Texas tops just about every “best of” list that comes out. Over the last decade, Austin has made waves in industries from music and tech to filmmaking and—you guessed it—food. Speaking of food, forget any notions about Austin’s culinary scene being solely Tex-Mex, barbecue, and breakfast tacos.
