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.

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.

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. 👍👍

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

Vegetarian? Looking for a traditional vegetarian friendly culinary adventure? Looking for more than the cliche, run of the mill Tex mex options? La Botana offers a traditional array of fascinating options, from squash blossom to jicama salad to Huitlacoche (mushroom which grows on corn). I had a the huitlacoche quesadilla, umami sweet earthy salty with crispy crust cheese. So exciting and delicious! Environmental is cozy and adorable, like a Sunday afternoon at your abuellas cottage.

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!!!

I don't know why this place isn't rated higher. It's my favorite Mexican restaurant in Winston--and I love Mexican food. They have a huge menu, and a ton of vegetarian options, which is nice for Catholics on Fridays. Their drink (cocktail) menu has fun of variants of the classics. The decor is really authentic as is a lot of the food. It's a small building so I'm hoping they don't get too popular, else there'll be nowhere to sit!

Great food, small place but wonderful decor and awsome staff. Large portion sizes, great selection.

I am so impressed at the vegetarian menu selection! There are multiple options, which did not feel like permutations of the same dish. The staff was attentive and fast with service. They customized dishes according to my liking, which I appreciated. Food quality was excellent. Chips and salsa felt fresh, as did the chimichangas we ordered. Located in a strip mall, so parking was abundant and easy. Clean restaurant. Overall will definitely return.

Terrible food. Terrible service. No English. Good atmosphere Here is the dish I ordered. All onion. Tell them. They dont offer to replace it.

*| La Botana |* Yall know I love a good routine and tradition and La Botana is one of our weekly traditions. @marybethhaglund introduced us to this gem and I'm forever grateful for the many meals we've shared here. La Botana opened its doors in 2004. July and Rigo Herrera Velasqez created La Botana as a way to share a part of their culture through food. Their menu takes inspiration from different states of Mexico: Nuevo Leon, Jalisco and San Luis Potosi. Heritage and pride is at the core of everything they create. Catch us here twice a week enjoying their robust mole and tangy huitlacoche tacos.

This will always be one of my favorite Mexican places in the area, mostly because of the incredible vegetarian menu! We stopped by late Saturday afternoon and got seated right away: greeted with warm chips and salsa. Salsa is not too spicy but very fresh tasting, and service is always fantastic. We started with the vegetarian queso fundido: wow! Soy chorizo to my heart. At first we were worried the queso was thin, but as soon as we mixed that baby, OH MY GOODness. Salty, spicy, cheesy, and a perfect compliment to the chips and salsa. We were so excited to try the newer vegetarian options and they didn't disappoint: I got the Brussels chimichanga and hubs got the bok choy chimichanga. What's wild: they were both so different flavor profiles! Mine was a spicy mix of pintos, veggies, perfect potatoes and tomatoes, topped with a white cheese and what looked like a tomato/chili crisp. INCREDIBLE: spicy savory and just full of homey love. The bok choy one had that incredible soy chorizo again: again full of veggies but a more chorizo profile. 10/10 both. Always a chill and kind atmosphere: never feel rushed always feel welcomed.

I really debated leaving a review about this but I do think when an experience is bad enough to sour you on a place you were formerly excited about then you should share. I was excited to take my mom to La Botana because they have an extensive vegetarian and vegan menu and as I'm a long time vegan, it's made it hard for us to go to Mexican restaurants together since they can be so hit or miss with veg food. In this case, she ordered vegan fajitas and I ordered two mushroom tacos minus the cheese. Straight out the gate, I wasn't super happy that my 'side' of pinto beans was in like a ketchup sized cup. They're not truffles, they're pinto beans and without an actual side of them you're paying 6 dollars a piece for small tacos without any protein. But I thought, we're paying more for supporting a local, community, authentic, family place, right? But the real problem was the fajitas. After almost 13 years vegan and 2.5 vegetarian before that, I have eaten a LOT of veggie fajitas. What I've never had happen is have someone bring out fajitas that proceed to steam and smoke for a full 5 minutes (as in I was done with most of my tiny tacos before my mom could take a bite). When I say smoke, I mean BURN, as in we could see and smell the veggies on the skillet burning. If you were at home you would have tipped them out of the pan onto a plate before they were ruined and smoked up your kitchen, level of burning. In a restaurant, she tried to used her fork to stir them to keep minimal veggies from blackening and even poured some of our extra red salsa on to try and cool them. My mom doesn't like to make a fuss and she really didn't want them to remake it and just throw her food away (no chance of that, just wait) so she didn't say anything. But I was so disappointed that I called over a waitress who called over a manager? Owner? I don't know and tried to explain that the skillet was brought out too hot and her veggies burned black. I tried to emphasize like, I KNOW the point of fajitas is they came out sizzling in a skillet but they're not supposed to burn black as you sit there! The woman goes to the back (?) and then comes back and proceeds to look me in the eye and kind of shrug and say that the kitchen says that's how supposed to be, it's hot. Like....what? We paid 17 dollars for a blackened burned skillet of veggies, half a cup of plain black beans and rice, and a lettuce leaf with a tablespoon of guac and a slice of tomato that is called "guacamole salad." My mom finished as much of the veggies as she could as the wait staff kind of avoided our table until we asked for a check, which still had everything on it because of course blackened fajita veggies are normal. I could have about cried because with us splitting a margarita it was a 50 dollar meal, when we could have gotten more and better for half as much as chipotle. And also because now I'm bummed that I just genuinely don't want to go back after such a bad experience.

This corner strip mall location is a pleasant surprise!! The menu selections all sounded delicious. It was hard to choose something. The service and ambiance were both excellent. The food was so delicious. Fresh ingredients, authentic flavors. Breakfast and lunch items. I cannot wait to go back to have lunch again.

Let me start off by saying that this has been my favorite Mexican restaurant in town and the rating is based on my most recent experience. Their menu is the most unique and authentic to Mexican cuisine. The margaritas were very watery and were a disappointment. Their chips were fresh, thick and crispy (loved them) and the salsa was very flavorful. The chunky guac was basic. I had the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce- The mole sauce was incredible. But the dish as a whole disappointed as the chicken was just boiled without any flavor. The steak tacos were average with the grilled cheese being the best part of it. I have had much better experiences in the past with my favorite dish being their 7 chiles ACP (order at your own risk as it is very very hot). This time I was expecting more and left disappointed.

Wonderful, unique chef delivered cuisine. Yes they have tacos and burritos and fajitas but explore the menu more. Truly unique and delicious entrees. We eat there often. Staff is warm and welcoming. It's small so either get there early or expect a short wait. But totally worth it.

Food was great as usual. Molcajete was excellent. Best in town. My wife had burnt cheese tacos with spinach and mushrooms and loved it. Not the typical Mexican restaurant. It takes time to get your order but is worth it.

I decide to stop in this small restaurant for lunch. It has been several years since I tried the food here. I was quickly seated, and a menu and salsa & chips follow soon after that. The place is small, and there is constricted feel here. I settled on the Carnitas Verde and a Modelo Especial to drink. The carnitas were in chunks and tender, but lacked the traditional outside crust. The verde sauce was thin and rather bland. The beans were whole and under-seasoned, salt and a bit of hot sauce were needed. The rice was ok. The house made hot sauce was really good, plenty hot. The Avocado slices were fresh and flavorful. This is a noisy place even when few tables are occupied, with much of the noise coming from the kitchen area in the form of much shouting and banging, not especially relaxing. A rather ordinary Tex-Mex meal, doubt I'll find my back here.

Tried out La Botana tonight and was pleasantly surprised at the diversity of their menu. This is not your standard run of the mill Mexican restaurant. They have a TON of unique options to choose from including an extensive vegetarian selection as well as vegan options. I ended up getting the Mucho Queso Combo, the sauce was very flavorful and had a nice heat to it. My only complaint would be that my poblano did not have the core removed so it was a little bit on the seedy side. Overall it was a tasty dish and you can tell that it was made fresh. One uncommon part of their menu that I wanted to highlight was their early bird menu. They have a lot of lower priced options if you come a bit earlier for dinner which I think is great!

I guess it had been longer than I thought since I had been in this joint. Half the size it used to be; the other dining room is now being made into another store? Are they under new management? Totally different and way overdone menu too, but I should have realized something was up when there was no Mexican beer on tap. My food was good, just not great and certainly not the style of what I remember from visiting on the regular around a decade ago.

We've passed this place several times but never around dinner time. Stopped this evening and we were delighted. Clean, bright, nicely decorated restaurant with a good health board score. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Chips were warm and fresh and accompanied by a good fresh salsa. We had a couple of different enchilada dinners and they were both very good. Best refried beans that we've had in this area. Prices were quite reasonable. We'll be back!

Oh my gosh. It has been years since I have been there and we were faithful going every week. We stopped going during Covid and then we decided to check it out yesterday and boy it did not disappoint. Their menu is so diverse and so much more than Mexican they have a keto and Paleo section, their soups look amazing. I feel terrible that I did not take any pictures. My daughter got the Molay and I got the enchiladas with chicken and beef with a spicy sauce. I will find out the name. if you haven't been in a while please do yourself a favor and go back

Stopped in last Wednesday for lunch with some friends. It had been forever since I'd been in so I was excited. It felt like they had done up the inside and they had some delicious sounding specials. I ended up going for the chicken enchiladas and they were delicious. Can't wait to go back to try more.

Best Mexican food in NC. Truly a family restaurant the service is so nice. It's slow and they make it from scratch so be nice. Options for even the worst food allergies/dietary restrictions. Actually spicy when you want it. We come all the time never had a bad experience. Just don't come in a hurry. Tried all kinds of stuff, all of it good.

The Food Wasn't Good,Very Bland. CUSTOMER SERVICE Was GREAT! They do need to be a little more specific when your given the order to what comes & doesn't come w the meal. Versus being charged for something that comes w your order"WHEN IT WAS LEFT OFF MISTAKING & still charged for the item

I've heard so many good things about LaBotana so I figured it was time to finally give it a shot! After getting in and reviewing the menu, I was pleasantly surprised to find daily early bird specials that run until 6:30. I got there just in time and enjoyed one of the specials of the day, the chicken enchiladas verdes with rice. Everything was cooked to order and came out fresh and the wait was not long considering. The restaurant itself was a nice - I really liked that they have an outdoor patio for seating. I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu.

Went this week for first time and disappointed. Wife ordered Chicken Fajita Quesadilla and I ordered Enchiladas en Pipian. Flavor OK, but not fabulous and portions looked liked kids' meals. Wife's "quesedilla" was like a small taco, folded not grilled and cheese virtually non-existent; my enchiladas were like 2 miniature tacquita rolls - combined not even close to what I am use to for single. Was hoping for better.

They have renovated and downsized a bit but the place still looks great with indoor and outdoor seating. They've done the bar area up nicer. With more drink options. Always good! Still nice and busy and great service Just note this is still not your standard Mexican place where you food comes out quickly. They do take a little longer but it's well worth it. I had a fabulous mojito, freshly made and lots of lime and mint just like I like it! My friends had the specialty margaritas and were also fabulous . 3 of us got the special of the night for $7.99 which was great. Enchiladas verde. Shredded chicken and green sauce and rice and beans. Great deal. I think my drink cost more !!! Lol. One other deal was $6.50 and smaller portion but till good amount of food. She got a chicken quesadilla, black beans and French fries! Their chips and salsa are still great too. Their food is by far still one of my favorites in town. Glad they are still doing so well. Great place to go before the movies nearby.. which is what we did!

One of my absolute favorite places in all of Winston. If you want a similar stuff to most other places in town, you'll find it. You'll also find the best vegetarian menu featuring squash blossom Quesadillas, pineapple tacos with grilled cheese on top. The Mole is excellent- you can taste the fruitiness of the chiles with just a little heat, absolutely worth cleaning the plate. They always have great drink specials and the street tacos are perfect if you don't feel like branching out. Genuinely no idea why you would get Mexican food anywhere else, ALWAYS love it here. They update their Instagram with specials and any closures given that it is a small restaurant.

We couldn't decide what to eat today. We don't get to Winston Salem very often and drove around for a while and we spotted this little Mexican place. It is a small family owned business. There isn't a lot of seating but what seating there is, is comfortable. They advertise homemade Mexican food. The staff wore masks and I wish I could tell them not to but they were wearing them anyways. We were seated properly and our order was Promptly taken. The chips and salsa we're good. The salsa have an excellent flavor heavy on the garlic and cilantro and just the right amount of space. The staff was friendly and efficient our food came to order I ordered a lunch special of chicken soup and a salad.My wife ordered lunch portion of Verde enchiladas and my daughter ordered a ACP. The wait time on the food was minimal considering that things were they fresh. The soup was awesome because garnished with avocado and fresh cilantro with a squeeze of lime on the side. My wife's dish looked and smelled great and it actually tasted wonderful the Verde sauce was to die for. And my daughter who is a very picky eater when it comes to Mexican food really love their ACP. This place is really a hidden gem off the beaten path. The food was really good the service was good and the surroundings were comfortable. My only gripe was that either the air-conditioning was being overworked that day or it wasn't working because it was quite warm in the restaurant. This is definitely a place that you're going to want to try.

Very fresh food in this quiet little gem of a restaurant. Tucked out of the way from a very busy road, give this restaurant a try.

Not a typical Mexican joint. The salsa has cumin which gives it a really good flavor. Good place to eat but the portions seem a bit small in comparison to other Mexican places.

The tacos here are amazing. I usually get the diablos and they are delicious. This is the best Mexican restaurant in town if you ask me. It's a little small so it can be hard to find seating inside on a busy night but it's worth the wait. They also have a lovely outdoor seating area. My one gripe with them is their hours are a little wonky.

Foood was amazing, tacos are the closest to authentic ive had around here! 10/10 for food and 6/10 for drinks.

It had been quite some time since I went to La Botana, but man.. that fried burrito still hits just the same! It looks like they've consolidated the restaurant space a bit, so there's less tables, but not overcrowded. One thing I love about La Botana, is they have some different things on the menu as opposed to just your classic dishes. The fried burritos are the star of their show, in my humble opinion. Crispy tortillas filled with tender meat, smothered in jalapeño cheese sauce! A lot of their meals also come with a sweet tea, which is obviously a win. The salsa is so fresh and chunky, with a bit of spice. Just perfect to me The food here is always fresh, and if you're looking for solid Mexican cuisine with some different options than normal, check them out! They've won Best Mexican Restaurant in Winston-Salem numerous times!

Horrible pricing during lunchtime. We stopped by during lunch & had to pay $40 for 2 street meals, no sides or alcoholic beverages lol I couldn't believe it!! Definitely not worth it and wouldn't recommend this place at all!

It had been a few years since we had been here. We had tried once before a week ago but they were unexpectedly closed. Whether open or closed no big deal because there are tons of restaurants. We had been to the movies and came here for dinner after. I love the new look and configuration of the place. I realize they shrunk to save costs but honestly the change makes it feel more quaint and love the new tables and booths. More personalized then it's previous look. Menu changed too and I had to stop and explore my options. I saw another reviewer say it has similar fair as other Mexican places but that's not true. There are a few places with unique menus and this is one of them. I dare you to explore some of the menu items and owner specialties. I tried the skinny steak thing - there is a pic and it was spicy but not hot spicy and I really enjoyed it. Wife had fajitas and enjoyed them. Kids menu allowed us to eat here and they had nuggets and fries - sweet. The flan was on point and priced right - yummy. We had a good dinner here - we will be back - glad to see them making it. It was a nice change from just tacos and normal stuff but wasn't too out there - I had to be careful about jalapeño in a lot of dishes but that's ok. Chips and salsa still free but they ask you to not over do it to save room for your meal and keep chips and salsa sustainable. Staff was smiling and very nice - really felt welcoming - 20% tip for that on our $50 bill. Overall - I like the new atmosphere and menu - check it out.

Best authentic Mexican I've had in the area! The street tacos were bomb, as well as the smoked pineapple margarita. Just amazing!

Best authentic Mexican in the entire SE! They offer vegetarian/vegan options as well as the staples you know and loe... also they offer items you may not have ever considered, and I have yet to find a single item on the menu that wasn't amazing! They make each order as requested, so don't expect "fast food" because it's not... but if you don't mind waiting for the perfect meal, this family business is not going to disappoint! My husband and I have been eating here since they opened, and it's STILL our favorite for our anniversary celebration and birthdays! Service can be slow, but it's worth wait! We won't eat at any other Mexican restaurant! We also drive an hour each way for the meal... yes, it's that good!

La Botana was recommended to us from locals. We are vegetarians and loved the large fresh vegetable menu and the handmade cocktail juices / syrups. I had the hibiscus mint margarita to start, which was fruity and delicious and not too sweet. For dinner I had the kale and burnt cheese tacos, which were packed full of delicious veggies. I dream about this taco. To add to the wonderful meal, the service and ambiance was outstanding. Thank you, La Botana... we'll be back many times.

Excellent meal everything' was fresh and not your typical fare of heavy food with all the same test. Limited number of tables, staff is very friendly.

Very unreliable, today is the 4th time I have come and it is closed, even though it shows open on their web site and their sign at the door. This may be my last try

Love it. Best tacos. Awesome. Also, get the chorizo. You need it in your life. The margaritas are strong and good.

The salsa was very solid with a spicy hint to it. Chips were very crisp and tasty. The menu was really funky. Not your traditional Mexican restaurant menu. The awesome tacos are an example of where the menu separates itself from other joints. The carnitas with the salsa verde were spectacular!! My only knock is the pintos beans were bland and blah. Other than that, we'll be back.

Enjoyed lunch At La Botany today. Nice outdoor seating for extra distancing. Loved the flavor of both the spicy oregano carnitas and the salsa for chips. Good portion size. Today service was fast and friendly.

The atmosphere is welcoming. The menu is somewhat difficult to understand but not impossible. The music volume and selection is comfortable. The food is delicious... and the service, as a new patron, was questionable at best. The polite hostess told me there was a wait so I knew they were busy, there seemed to be just 2 servers and a hostess. Our server was late to say hello but she seemed busy in any case, that could just be pandemic staffing. She also did not do a good job describing what everything was but I would presumed she expected I would just know what an enchilada was. Maybe if I keep coming back I would know how to order. Our sodas were very prompt, our server was ridiculously fast with our first drinks. Perhaps she just wanted me to 'hurry up and order' because she was busy? I am not sure. What we did order at first was good. What I asked was supposed to be my server's choice between my first enchilada as part of a platter or a unique taco I had never seen before. Neither arrived, something else did. Since we had gotten full on what we first ordered I asked to send back the second meal feigning lack of appetite... according to my server refunds are not allowed after the food arrives at the table. So I explained that I was hard-pressed to pay for something I did not ask for. She explained what she thought I had said to her and she had misheard but that was okay! If I was going to pay for my food then I wanted what I was going for. My server walked away, I presumed, to get the right meal made for me. She did not. She came back and explained that she got the food taken off my bill and formulated the stern lesson that if I want the right food then I shouldn't let my server choose. Yup. I left her a 20% tip with a note on her check to BE KIND TO POLITE GUESTS and that is mainly because I was dining with my daughter and wanted to set a good example. I have an ongoing experience in restaurants that is approaching 20 years. They are not prepared to be busy with the staffing they have presently but no restaurant is in a pandemic era and as a customer I can understand that SO... contrary to La Botana's suggestion on their website, I would much prefer to order the food to-go so I can get to the good part of my dining experience with them. The food is AMAZINGLY good, authentic, unique and prepared with care and at least the hostess is nice.

The constantly changing hours, constantly changing menu, and rules are too hard to navigate. They close for any reason, any time so if you plan to eat there, have a back up plan. They closed very early on a Saturday night because they ran out of rice. First, how do you run out of rice? Walmart is next door and rice cooks in 20 minutes. Second, serve everything else and just let people know? I have planned multiple group outings to find them spontaneously closed for a birthday, concert, mud run? It's odd. The food is mostly quite good, it's just too stressful

Some reviewers mentioned the prices being higher than other Mexican restaurant but I came during lunch and the prices were the same as other places. The lunch menu includes several $4.99 and $6.99 deals that all are severed with tea if you choose another menu item tea is only $1. To eat out and get a beverage for $1 is an incredible deal in itself. The salsa was amazing and tasted very fresh. They are sometimes heavy handed with the onions so if you don't love onions ask for less or none. I had the carne asada lunch and it was more than enough. You do have to pay $.50 for black beans instead of refried beans which wasn't an issue to me. The steak was tender and flavorful. My sister had the ACP and had enough to take a little home and enjoyed it a lot but without onions.

It was ok but nothing different from other local Mexican restaurants. They do have a unique drink menu with a smoked pineapple margarita

I've had multiple bad experiences at this restaurant, but the food is ok, so I join for lunch sometimes. Their prices for additional items is absolutely insane. I'm actually writing this negative review because they tried to charge me $2 for an extra shrimp on my quesadilla. No, not $2 extra for shrimp, $2 PER shrimp added. Get a grip. The avocado I got today was horrible, and it took them far too long to prepare my quesadilla. The food here is pretty good, but (like I said) I've had bad experiences since the place opened. I decided today was my last visit. Won't be back.

Authentic, boutique size, good service....reminds me of some places in TX! If you're looking for a New Mexican restaurant, check this place out!

Mexican food is one of my favs or a least Americanized Mexican. I had tried to go here in the past but the wait was too long for the fiancé. The main menu is pretty pricey but you will find more creative things than you see at most Mexican restaurants. They do have a specials page with is $10 on all days other than Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. The pricing on their website is not accurate. I went for their large steak taco and it was really tasty. I would get it again. It had grilled onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and a cheese sauce. My fiancé got two small plain ground beef tacos with lettuce, tomatoes, and some guacamole on the side. I do not think his was worth $10 at least nine also came with beans and rice. The service was good but it took a while to get the check. The decor is interesting a mix of what you would expect, old school American ads, and some random signs with funny sayings.

We were pretty disappointed in La Botana based on Yelp reviews. Went for a late lunch Saturday- not busy at all. While we were greeted and seated promptly, it took quite a while for a server to acknowledge us and take our drink orders- and at that point we didn't even know what to order as we hadn't seen a drink menu or anything. When presented with said drink menu, well when it was literally tossed at my husband by our server when we asked for it, WTH? it wasn't helpful- beer selections out of date and really not much more info beyond that in terms of beer selection and lime margaritas...if they have any other type of mixed drink or flavored margaritas I have no idea because all this menu had was outdated beers and lime margaritas. Ordered queso fundito to start- did not arrive until our meals did and that was after we reminded our server - or one of them, we had several through meal, that we had ordered it. Would have went a long way if this had been on The house. Meals came, hubby was presented wrong plate which they immediately switched and carried to next table...sigh. Very unimpressed with service. Food was ok- have had way better. Value below what we are used to- but other reviews have stated the same. Saving grace was we had 20% off Entertainment Book coupon. No reason to go back.

I was disappointed when I saw the low reviews for this place! La Botana is one of the better Mexican spots on this side of town. Everything I have had there is great. Their menu is beyond the "ACP" type food. If you are looking for basic-white Spanish food; i.e. ordering fries and a burger, please skip this place because you will be disappointed! If you are looking for great Mexican food, you'll be happy!

Good food and family-friendly. Service was friendly and pleasant. Ambiance is fun and very casual. They have a big kid's menu, too. Good for small groups.
