Budare's Venezuelan Food - Austin

This is one of my favorite places in Austin, so it was the place I chose for my birthday dinner. Every time I mention this as a dinner option, the whole family is on board, even my child who is a picky meal. We love the Arepas (Avocado chicken salad version with black bean and cheese is my fav), the beef Cachapas and all empanada flavors. And the Zilantro sauce is dangerous delicous; it is the perfect companion to basically everything.

Today I eat my breakfast at this place. Carmen Elena was very friendly. I eat AREPA filled with shredded Chichen and was soo good. I recommend this to Venezuelans and for local people it is very good. Try the cachapa with cheese, tequeños and empanada for breakfast. Try Pabellón for luch, it’s very good.

Hands down the best Venezuelan spot I've tried anywhere in the U.S. I tried the cachapa, beef and plantain arepa, and empanada with plantains and beef and they were each super good. The arepa had the best crunchy texture I've had on any arepa. The woman running the truck, Carmen, was super amazing and full of passion for her food. The quality of the food reflects her passion. Highly recommend if you're in Austin

Loved the food. I have always loved Venezuelan food, so it's so great to find a great place in Austin. This trailer is part of a cool trailer park on Burnet Rd. Go early as they run out of stuff but regardless it's all good. Favorite treat is the passion fruit juice. Fantastic cachapa.

How many times do you eat on a day? Venezuelans have 3 main dishes: a large breakfast, a large dinner (round lunch) and a light dinner in the evening. Their food is influenced by European, Western African and American traditions. Their social culture is very similar to Asian cultures collaborative, community-based and collectiveist. So when you visit someone in Venezuela, they will feed you! Cachapas is one of their most popular dishes and my favorites. It is a thick, tasty pancake from corn (sweetcorn) and served with a white cheese plate called "queso de mano", topped with jagarine eyelashes. The sweetness of the corn and the cream of the cheese paired. Add a bit of pulled pork or shredded beef and it offers an explosion of flavors from the texture and saltiness of the meat. Cachapas in Venezuela's culinary history dates from Colombian times. Indigenous people use stone pests to grind corn and cook it on clay budares flat lattice slabs cachapa style. Originally only made by the locals in the state of Bolivar, you can now enjoy it here at Budares on Burnet. It was nice to meet Carmen at Budare. They have been serving authentic Venezuelan food in Austin for several years. They were the first Venezuelan food truck in Austin and they used to open the way for others. We can say that we have added more Venezuelan favorites to our list next to @auroravenezuelanfood
