La Botana Mexican Restaurant

This is steak fajitas. I ate the two pieces of steak and two strips of pepper. THESE ARE ALL ONIONS. I showed the waitress and she looked at wide eyed and did nothing about it. I don’t think she spoke any English. But I see some people like this place, but it was an embarrassment to go with a friend here at my suggestion. Makes me suspicious as to what they are really doing back in the kitchen. Decent atmosphere but would NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Check the sanitation rating.

La Botana is the best Winston Salem has to offer for authentic Mexican cuisine. Fresh, unique dishes in a cool, charming atmosphere.

I ordered two Taco Salads, they both had very little chicken and was nothing but lettuce. Very dry and chips and salsa was extra and wasn’t included so I’m so glad I ordered chips and the small container of the salsa. That did help with the dryness, however it just wasn’t enough salsa for both salads and chips. They were also very small. For the cost it wasn’t worth it. It was my first time trying and I will not go back. I don’t even want to give them one star.

I’m rarely fully satisfied with the atmosphere, price, portion, service, and quality of food at a restaurant and La Botana had it all. I remember coming here as a kid, but the vibe has changed majorly! The service was top notch—a perfect blend of attentiveness but not being “too much.” The food came out very quickly despite the restaurant being pretty busy. I came saying I would order a marg and cheese and chips and left having ordered an app, two handcrafted cocktails, and an entree. I’m new to vegetarianism and was worried about what I could get at a Mexican restaurant that would be spectacular, and I’m happy to say I was torn between three dishes (and I’m picky)!!! I went with the Burnt Cheese San Adrian and ate every bite. Thank you La Botana crew for an awesome experience!!!

We were on our way to hit up the big box store down the street. We needed fuel to maintain sanity as we enter the shoppers' gauntlet. I had the Monster Wet Burrito. So big, cheesy, and loaded with deliciousness. My Bonita Esposa had the Carnita de Oregano. Sided with beans and rice. Both meals were a lovely Mexican delight. With a belly full of fuego, we were ready to tackle the shoppers.

La Botana delivers an exceptional taste of Mexican street food with a homemade twist. The vibrant atmosphere, enhanced by colorful decorations and lights, creates an inviting and festive ambiance. The food is a standout, with perfectly portioned dishes that deliver both in flavor and authenticity. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Prices are reasonable, making it a great value for the quality offered. Additionally, the full bar complements the meal, offering a range of beverages to enhance your dining experience. Highly recommended for a lively and delicious Mexican meal.

The food is not authentic by any stretch. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't Mexican. Check out my reviews, Im a huge fan of Mexican food and this was definitely made for gringos. The salsa was not made in house, the amount of pork in the $17 Coloradito plate was barely enough for two small tacos, and the sauce it was stewed in what tasted of buffalo wing sauce. Sooo not what I was hoping for. The spice meter on the menu was 3 🌶️🌶️🌶️ but it was barely mild wing level. The black beans were totally bland, medium warm, cheese didn't even come close to melting, and barely cooked through. Overall it was disappointing for food, so I won't be back. The service was awesome, friendly, explained the various dishes I was considering, and they were attentive without being intrusive. I wish the food was equally as good The margarita was delicious, had enough tequila to taste but not overpowering. For $36 for one drink and one platter I should have gone to BJ Burgers and gotten their tacos.

I was going to dine in but had to change my plans and take it to go. While there, the service was very good. Nice, relaxing vibe. I love the art work on the walls and everywhere you look. The food! The food was very good too. 👍👍
