We went wandering around Boerne and always park in the lot next to Botero. We always say, "we should go there." Well, we finally decided to try it out, and we're glad we did! I love the industrial vibe of the place. It was a rainy Saturday and the place wasn't particularly busy, so the service was good! Our server was friendly and knowledgable about the menu, and the food, while small in portion size (they are tapas, after all) was delicious. We started with the tostadas de chorizo and the house sangria. Both were super tasty. Then we ordered the chistorra (Spanish sausage) and pan con tomate, and finally we shared the albondiga...a giant meatball that was perfection. Can't wait to go back to Boerne and have some more Spanish goodness! read more

Decided to stop by & have a beer & tapas last Saturday. We were the only ones here until we were almost finished eating. Our friendly young male server suggested a new Portuguese beer that just came out. It comes in a 4-pack, 6.8 oz bottles with convenient pull-tabs & on a bucket of ice. We went for it! Not bitter, light bodied & easy to drink. We savored the ambiance in the outdoor patio as it FINALLY cooled down to the low 70s! We were given water in a carafe and 2 glasses. I'm sensitive to the taste of municipal tap water so I should've asked if it was filtered water? You'll have to ask for ice cubes if you want ice. Our tapas were the scallops ceviche tostadas(2 tortillas holding them) & a flatbread with Serrano jamon, sliced pears, melted brie, onions & drizzled balsamic glaze. Hubs liked it but I thought it was lukewarm & skimpy on the ham. The cheese wasn't gooey & cooled off. Was slightly gamey to me. He loved his scallop ceviche tostada. The restaurant wasn't very occupied but our server said it gets pretty packed in the evening esp. when there's live music. More people came in when we were almost finished eating. We ate outside because they must have just disinfected & mopped the floors because the inside had a super strong chemical smell. Lots of metal tables and chairs in the patio. read more

Stumbled onto Botera's soft opening for breakfast. The menu wasn't huge, but very unique with a Cuban flare. We ended up making breakfast tapas style. They have a manchego and chorizo omelette and a couple of different Cuban riffs on a skillet. They also have mimosas and their coffee is very respectable. All in all, I would recommend it! read more

Not sure what happened to this place in the last two years, but this place disappointed. The meal was meh, and the place literally had to DoorDash groceries in to make our order. In addition, there were no other customers to show up. The last meal we had here was outstanding. Hopefully this was just an off night. read more

It's been a long time since I've taken a moment to write a review, but today is a good one. My daughter and son-in law came for a quick weekend visit and before they left, we went to Botero for lunch. We enjoyed the lavender sangrias which were delicious. Not too strong of an alcohol taste and not too sweet as a lot sangrias can be. The waiter was very friendly and suggested a few of his personal favorites and we all had to agree, he knew what he was talking about. We tried so many, but I tried to take pictures of a few of what we had. We all agreed the chorizo tostadas were our favorite. Definitely go when it's nice out and enjoy the patio. read more

My parents have been coming here for a couple of years and now I finally know what all the fuss is about! First off, the Lavender Sangria was exceptional but be careful, I feel like two of them would've knocked me off my bar stool. The Patatas Bravas and Tostadas de Chorizo were excellent. I was truly blown away by the setas gallegas they were *chef's kiss*! We came in for a drink and a quick bite but I'd love to come back and explore the full menu! Based on the great service (thanks for answering our questions!), excellent drinks and delicious food, I doubt anything here disappoints and I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town! read more

First time trying it out finally. I live close by. I made a reservation for my friend and I but the reserved table was swished between two couples so we asked to move outside. It was gorgeous outside and the live music was amazing. We had several tapas. We shared an abondiga, empanadas, a tenderloin and ceviche. Unfortunately they had ran out of the lobster. It was all very tasty. A little pricey and I didn't get full. I think next time I'll go with the paella. read more

My wife surprised me on our trip to Boerne by bringing me to this small place off of the main drag. Ambiance is of a generic industrial sort with uncomfortable metal chairs and low lighting. Okay, that's the negative. The food here is absolutely divine, and the service is very attentive. Our waiter did a great job of making recommendations and checking on us. We got four tapas dishes: morcilla, buñuelos, bacalao, and the chuleton. All of these dishes were excellently prepared and tasted fantastic. We loved them. We wish to return and try the paella. Don't miss out on this great spot! read more

The grilled octopus was chewier than I expected. The flavor wasn't bad, though a bite or two had a bit of a vinegar hit. There really wasn't much octopus either. Accompanying potatoes were fine. Most irritating, however, is the Euro EDM crap music being played. While it was a little louder than I'd prefer, it was just plain irritating. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Botero Tapas + Wine. We had a 12:30 PM reservation for Mother's Day and we were immediately greeted upon entering the restaurant. We were lead to our table which had a special Mother's Day menu in place. We immediately ordered the Botero Paella and the Seafood Paella. Both were very good. We decided to go with an array of tapas some of them pictured in this post. My absolute favorite was the cod fritters but they were all very good. This place is pricey but well worth it. The owner made it a point to come to our table to greet us and mention where his family is from (San Sebastian). He also has photos of his family along the wall facing the restroom. We will return to try their Paella Negra and go for their cod fritters again. read more

Had a lovely time at this little wine bar in Boerne last night! Super cute decor with inside and outdoor dining options, live music on Friday and Saturday nights, as well as delicious Spanish food, wine and sangrias! We tried the lavender sangria and chased it with a nice bottle of Tempranillo. We also sampled several tapas to include empanadas, tostadas, and flat bread, followed by churros for dessert! Having been to Spain, this placed lived up to our expectations! #spainonmain read more

We made reservations for a Friday night and were not disappointed by our experience. We were quickly greeted and welcomed in, and either because we made reservations or they had no other reservations at that time they knew exactly who we were and gave us the option of choosing our seats from a couple of locations. We opted to sit outside as it was cooling down and there was a nice breeze and the musician was just welcoming and inviting to the patio. We enjoyed some tapas and we enjoyed a nice bottle of wine while discussed how the week has been and what our plans for the following week were going to be. The waitress was super helpful and the food came out promptly as well as tasted delicious. The bottle of wine we ordered was just amazing. Overall, all the best reasons to keep returning read more

This bijou little eatery in the heart of Boerne town is a must try for anyone, whether you live or visit the Hill Country. We started with a very delightful selection of imbibes, filled with herbal notes, sweetness, and smooth wine notes. The tapas were absolutely rich and luxurious. I must say the Gambas were absolutely amazing, as was everything we ordered. I will be back for the Paella. read more

The food is delicious. I ordered the tostadas de chorizo, albondiga and torreznos en salsa pasilla. Of all 3 I loved the tostadas de chorizo though it was a bit salty it was still delicious perhaps having more salsa will help balance the saltiness from the chorizo and the feta cheese. The albondiga has some type of an egg inside it was definitely good. Don't expect big servings coz it's tapas for nothing. It's quite a bit pricey but you're in Boerne so it make sense to have that kind of price. As far as taste goes, it was better than I expected. Will definitely come back to try other stuff. read more

Boteros Tapas and Wine Bar was a good break from walking through the cute little shops at Boerne. I thought the Sangria was perfectly delicious. It was fully chilled and mixed with different fruit! I ordered some empanadas and I wish they were as delicious as the wine. I wanted more in terms of flavor, cheesiness, flavor of the meat. I think this is a perfect place to have drinks and I would be interested in seeing if any other appetizers tasted good. We'll see. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday after a market days stroll. This quaint little bistro is fabulous! The vibe was chill and stylish. The hubs and I ordered a couple of drinks; estrella galacia lager and traditional red sangria. The drinks were so good and hit the spot. We moved onto tapas; Botero sliders and coca de jamón serrano flatbread. The Botero sliders were made with lamb, soooo delicious. The flatbread was prosciutto, pears onions and balsamic glaze. Equally amazing. The whole experience was on point. Cheers to you!Coca De Jamon SerranoFlatbread read more

First and foremost we didn't even get to enjoy the dinner because we were immediately exited by the manager who said they don't allow service dogs for our impaired attendee. The owner is extremely defensive and won't even let friendlies on their patio. This is not even on their website. I would respect the "Sorry, we don't allow service dogs or those that have one with a disability" but we didn't even get that acknowledgement. While I can't speak for the food, the staff is some of the most rude I have met at an establishment. read more

It was a nice day for outdoor sitting. And I have been coming to this place for couple years. The place looks authentic and some days they have live flamenco music, which is pretty nice. We loved the service and the environment. Now let's get to the good stuff, drinks & food. What you really want to try here is their lavender sangria, it's bomb. One of the best sangrias I've had. And the food flavors are pretty good, the portions not great, they have little dishes, I know is tapas style, but for the price you could get a little bit more. We ordered: Papas bravas 4/5 Ensalada Barcelona 3/5 Veggie flatbread 4/5 Tostadas de pescado 4/5 Buñuelos de Bacalao 4/5 Costillitas de Res 5/5 Paella Botero 3/5 Overall nice place to hang out with your friends or family and have a good time. read more

My husband and I ate here for the first time yesterday and had a lovely experience. We were seated immediately when we arrived. This place has a shaded patio and there was live music; a solo guitarist playing soft hits. I hope they can get a flamenco guitarist someday! It took our server a few minutes to greet us, but nothing crazy. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Another server prebussed an empty plate for us and I could see the host and owner/manager checking on guests as well. Overall, we received excellent service. We tried the Lavender Cava sangria and the Rose sangria. Both tasted good, but we preferred the Rose. We ordered 3 tapas: the Empanada trio, the Crab Risotto and the Papas Bravas. Our tapas were perfectly timed. I appreciated that we weren't rushed. The mushroom and beef empanadas were out of this world delicious! The tuna empanada was good as well, just not our style. I especially loved the crab risotto. It wasn't over cooked or pasty. The texture was exactly how a risotto should be. It had a lovely seafood flavor and several large pieces of crab. The papas bravas were good, my husband really enjoyed them. We are already planning a return trip to try some of their other tapas, paella and drinks. This place is a 'must go' in Boerne! read more

What a cute place! Set back from the road off Main Street in Boerne, it is a small intimate place totally focused on Spanish food and wine. Their potatoes were amazing no matter what you paired them with. Flatbread pizzas were a little underwhelming. Although they had a pretty extensive Spanish wine list, they were out of several wines they had on their list. The one we really wanted we got across the street, so we got to try it anyway. Service was good - very attentive staff. Not sure it was a do over unless I can find someone to share a paella with - none of my current party will eat one with me. read more

Wow what an absolutely gem here! The crab risotto was amazing and the most perfect amount t of crab flavor! I could have eaten 12 more bowls but wanted to try some of everything. The sampler platter or assortment was amazing and all the cheese and meets perfection ! But the Mahon cheese is great with especially with the red wine our waitress fabulously suggested!! It was so good we got 2 more platters of just that to enjoy with the wine and take home!! Oh and the lavender sangria you must get!! The empanadas were also absolutely fire. I love that it's three flavors so you can sample different tastes, true Spanish style. But be warned you may want two if sharing so you get more than a bite each cause they are that good. The tostadas are also one of the best on the menu and so so glad we got them even though full. All in all it seems everything on the menu is a must try. Sad we were so full to fable and try the dessert! Now about the staff, which made the total 5+ amazing experience it was!! Gio was our waitress ( can't give enough kudos to her!!!) and man was she absolutely beyond fantastic! She was sooooo knowledgeable about all the products and gave us the absolute best recommendations on food and wine! We thought she had worked there for years and lives in Spain... so shocked to hear she been there 2 days!! She is an absolutely asset to Botero's and will try to get her section if we ever go again. I definitely highly recommend this place, a bit spendy but well well worth it for the genuine Spanish vibes you absolutely get, feels like Spain for sure!! read more

We like the food most of the time.. They have about 60 wines on their list, but.... The plates are little of course. The sangrias are nice too.. read more

This is by far one of the worst meals I've had in recent years. We got to the restaurant at around 6:20 and they closed at 7pm and we knew it so we planned on leaving on time. We ordered our drinks, water and a lavender sangria and the sangria tasted like pure lavender, nothing else, I expected it to taste like lavender of course but it was a very strong lavender flavor and kind of bitter. Not good. I asked the server about the empanadas and she advised they were mushrooms and cheese flavored. When our empanadas came out they were meat and potatoes, I don't eat meat. My husband had the buñuelos de bacalao and said they tasted frozen and popped in the microwave. We ordered the potatoes, las bravas, flavorless and hard. We replaced the empanadas with setas gallegas which is mushrooms and goat cheese and that was the best dish, it was a pretty big serving and it came with two tiny toasts. I also ordered the tortilla española and it also looked like it was popped in the microwave. Flavorless, the potatoes were huge and hard. Served with 3 bruschettas, the bruschetta was better than the actual tortilla. My husband really enjoyed his chuletón angus, he gave his meal a 6/10 and I gave mine a 5/10. Also when we were ordering we were reminded the kitchen was closing soon and to make our selection quickly. A few minutes before 7 the server came to the table and we asked for the check and she said yes we do close at 7 and we told her we knew and would be leaving before then. I didn't find this place to be inviting and the food was pretty mediocre. This was not our first time eating tapas so we were expecting much better food. read more

Nice music and atmosphere. Did not have several of the drinks advertised on the menu (Cava, Sparkling wine). The metal stools and chairs are so uncomfortable...we tried both. Ended up leaving. read more

We made a reservation because I didn't want to be waiting and It was our first time so I really wanted to enjoy it. We ordered drinks first, I was very excited to try their different sangrias, they all look so good and refreshing so I had the lavender sangria, it did not look purple like all the other pictures I've seen, it was a hint of purple, needless to say it was water down and barely any flavor. Then we had the langostino, the flavor was all on the sauce, very good, but it was a tiny tiny piece of meat I could barely taste the actual langostino. We finally got our paella, (it takes a little while so you have to order as soon as you get there). It barely had any rice and the rice was not cook as it's supposed to. It was lacking flavor, the staff was nice and friendly, the place is small and cozy, they had ice music so it was nice, I just wouldn't go back for the food, way overpriced for lack of flavor. We left very disappointed and not happy. read more

I can't really give this place a great review, nor a really bad review. We love traditional Spanish food/tapas. The good.. we enjoyed the gambas, patatas bravas, olives, and pan de tomate. The not so good.. The tortilla was super bland, while the paella was good, it did not have a crispy bottom. Also, I asked for a taste of the sangria to see if it was something we would like before ordering. The waiter said they couldn't provide a taste so, more than likely, they lost a sale. We attempted to order the tarte de queso but he said they were sold out. They make it on Thursdays and if they don't have any left by Saturday, you don't get any. Seems like they should make an extra couple of these cheesecakes so people can enjoy them on Saturday. We then settled for churros which looked nothing like the churros previous posters' photos. They were doughy and sliced into discs. Also they didn't provide any kind of dipping sauce like chocolate or caramel. While it was not an awful meal by any means. I don't know that we will drive an hour from New Braunfels to go back. The live Spanish guitar music was a nice touch. read more

Loved Botero! Such a comfortable experience. We stayed till almost closing and the staff was all extremely kind about it. The Lavender Sangria is a 10/10 Portions are relatively small so you can try a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the churros too! read more

We had the most amazing time! The minute you walk in you are greeted by many with a friendly smile. You are taken to your table and in our case on this Friday night, our table was on the patio. What a beautiful evening to have been outdoors too. We are told to scan the bar code in order to view the menu. We ordered sangria and we must say the sangria is the best we have ever had! Our server was courteous, polite, friendly and attentive! The food was superb! We had the watermelon salad, ribs, langoustine, and the mouth watering cheesecake for dessert! The cheesecake is fluffy and is made to perfection as it melts in your mouth. If you are blessed to be there when the owner is there and you meet him you will find a very courteous gentleman that speaks to you about his family history and the foods he prepares. We look forward to going back soon! read more

So came across this place on accident and I am so glad we did. The service was amazing and they provided recommendations when asked. We tried a couple of things, Lavender Sangria, sliders, Kobe meatball, tostadas and churros all of which was delicious. They put a lot of care into their food; my daughter is super picky and hates everything but she loved the tostadas and the meatball was her favorite. I recommend trying this place super cute and romantic for a date, oh they also have live music on the weekends! read more

What deliciousness! This Spanish tapas place in Boerne is a bit pricey, but totally worth it. I have visited two times and have enjoyed the food every time. The first time I also had some of the Lavender Sangria, which I recommend. Their paella is on point, as were the delicious ceviche tostadas. We got to sample a new plate with some bread and cheese. Loved it. But my absolutely favorite were the empanadas. They are fabulous, and, oh, so tasty! Great atmosphere, music and service complete this place for me.

This place is a hot mess. The servers are the bussers, host and at times, the bartenders. That does not lead to great service. Never a manager there and if you complain about the food, good luck with that. The server has to call the manager to discuss whether or not they will take the raw food off your bill. The cooks yell in Spanish at the servers and bartenders. If you are bilingual, you'll get an earful. Totally unprofessional. The food is overly salty and overpriced for tapas. They mainly cater to tourists now because locals don't eat here. Been here 3 times and there won't be a 4th time. read more
