Casa Colombia, Austin

In a small and cozy dining room in a reworked house, Casa Colombia serves Colombian dishes, as well as other South and Central American specialties. The menu offers a multitude of beef dishes - try the ropa vieja, a Cuban dish made with shredded beef with red wine sauce and olives - as well as chicken and vegetarian choices. The arepas - a specialty of Colombia and Venezuela made from freshly cooked rounds of masa stuffed with meat or cheese - are popular and delicious: crisp on the outside, tender on the inside. A variety of blended tropical fruit drinks compliment the spicy menu, as does the freshly brewed Colombian coffee. - Christine Whalen
