It's been over 2 decades since I've had Filipino food as it can be a challenge to find diverse food outside of Tex-mex and BBQ in Austin. I'm so glad I stumbled upon Kapatad as it brought back many good memories of delicious Filipino food. Everything was delicious and I loved the mom and pop vibe. Jasper, one of the owners, was super friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this spot for authentic Filipino cuisine.

Absolutely OUTSTANDING Filipino food here. * * * Note that Filipino is at best 1/3 of the menu. Americans won't eat at a restaurant that has only eight or nine things on the menu ... Unless that restaurant is Cane's Chicken Fingers. At Cane's the small menu is part of the joke. Management also worries that Americans won't eat here because the idea of Filipino food is too weird. * * * Management actually read the market correctly. Kapatad is filled with Filipino customers eating off the Filipino side of the menu. Besides ourselves, there was only one other table with Anglos. Kapatad has not gotten on to the Austin Chronicle/Eater Austin Yuppie food attention list. Far West does not have a great history of supporting ethnic food. Biderman's does well because of the nearby Dell Center. Saffron has lasted far longer than I thought it would. But generally, Far West is the Boulevard Bar and Starbucks. * * * But the loyal Filipino crowd has kept Kapatad alive. Which is a very very good thing. I have only eaten in five or six Filipino restaurants in my life - But Kapatad is by far the best. * * * Filipino food is carnivorous food. Vegetarians will be looking at the Chinese side of the menu. Filipino veggie dishes exist (including noodles and tofu) ... But meat is what Kapatad does. Servings are MASSIVE. The plan is for a whole family to come in and order one dish. Everyone in the family gets their plate of rice. Then everyone divides up the meat dish in the middle. The meat dish is very large, very rich and very very good. Think Thanksgiving Dinner with a Roast Turkey on the platter in front of the entire family and you get the basic idea. My giant platter was a pork shank. Four people could have eaten that pork shank if they were eating it on rice. And they would have eaten very very well. Roast Pork Shank is NOT an easy dish to make. It is bony and it is uneven so getting everything to cook evenly is a huge issue. Plus the shank had the most exquisite and wonderful crispy char for the skin. Pork shank is skin heavy and meat light --- so skin quality is life and death. This was Pork Skin for the Gods!. The Shank itself has garlic and ginger roasted on top of it. But the house serves a fantastic marinade to go on top of the pork. The shank is fantastic all by itself - but is absolutely to die for with the sauce on top. I was in the 78th circle of heaven. I was also in the 78th circle of Personal Enlargement ... and I had only eaten 1/4 of my shank. People who have read my other reviews already know ... I am a big eater. I have polished off whole pork knuckles twice, once in Prague and once in Stockholm. So when I tell you I took home most of the utterly divine pork shank, that tells you a lot. * * * Bring carnivores. Bring a whole family of carnivores. But then ... actually most of the Filipino tables had whole families. And most of those tables only had one or two dishes on the table. The dishes you can get here you can't get anywhere else in Austin. Round up a crowd ... Or just plan on eating really good leftovers for the next couple of days. Really good leftovers? Not a terrible thought ...

I promised after ordering from Uber eats I was going to come in person. Today was the perfect day to come with my son (too bad my other son wasn't with us). The food was so much better than packed for delivery! We had sisig, crispy pata, chopsuey and tokwa/baboy. Drink was mango boba. And to top it---they have brown rice! The only Filipino place where they have brown rice! I was amazed! Food was delish! Also, the Filipiniana decoration was a plus. Clean and aesthetically pleasing! They featured coffee bean painting which was a very unique art expression! We are coming back. Recommended (They give military discount!)
