Our server Avery was fantastic. The Mezcal Monday deals were fantastic. The ambiance was fantastic. The black magic oil was .... (do I even have to say it? ) FANTASTIC.

Everything was faultless - service, food, atmosphere. Wills, our waiter and another colleague whose name we didn’t catch, looked after us extremely well. Willis was very knowledgeable about the menu and guided us to four excellent choices.

The best guacamole I have ever had. Main dishes and sides were beautifully prepared and delicious with flavors that popped. I rarely eat dessert, and even though I was full, I had to partake. Bulevar will be on my list of places whenever I go to Austin.

The staff was good. Our waitress seemed to be a little new, but was backed up by more experienced people. My husband order a hazy IPA and was told this was no longer in stock so chose a different beer. When the waitress came back with our drinks, she said she got the original order. However it wasn’t hazy. We questioned this, but the beer was ok and just figured she or the bartender mixed it up. However it wasn’t the correct beer and the apparent head waiter or manager came back and told us what it was and later comped the beer which was extraordinarily nice as we really didn’t expect that or ask for it. The ceviche was good, but not the best. However my husband loved the beef cheeks and the adobe chicken was quite good. Overall would recommend!

We always love the chile rellenos. We had an early dinner, so we ordered a bunch of happy hour appetizers. All perfect and flavorful. Our server was attentive and responsive to all requests. El Alma is a fave of ours and continues to be.

    Wow! 5 stars all around. Our waiter was just so incredible - hand wrote on the menu which items to avoid and which could be modified based on an allergy that one of our party members had. He recommended such good dishes and even customized a little meal for the baby that was with us. Seriously, he is impeccable at his job. The food and drinks were 10/10. So fresh, such great flavours and beautiful presentation. Will be dreaming about the guacamole for months!
