I've driven past this place so many times and always wanted to try it. I finally got the chance yesterday! Unfortunately I wasn't able to dine in , I placed a pick up order and when I walked in the place is so pretty and bright. They have a huge bar with lots of selections. The staff greeted me and the cashier was so friendly. I ordered the mixed ceviche and my coworker a shrimp cocktail. When I tell you , we weren't even talking while eating because the food was that good. I'm so excited to go back and actually dine in. read more

Bueno... bueno.. where should I begin? The place was quite busy during my visit. Servers were friendly and brought our meals fast and it was still warm, eventhough the place was packed. They brought the wrong plate to one of the people in my party, but no big deal, it was replaced immediately with the excuse of...we don't have that today, after we were all eating our lunch. Most of the waitresses were Bilingual. Food was average and the dishes were very affordable except for the Mexican Cola and/or Fanta. If you have experienced autentic Mexican cuisine prior to this place. This is not a restaurant for you. Place and restrooms were clean. Restaurant closes at 3pm. read more

This restaurant replaced the legendary Cristan's Tacos. They completely remodeled the original building. The food is very average, definitely not bad but nothing exciting. Basically a place to get your blue collar carb load. It's an F150 clusterf*%# at lunch time. It is conveniently near the IH10 freeway, but despite that advantage they are not open late. The tacos were ok, nothing special about the tortillas. I also tried the cheese enchiladas. Very meh, La Jacala and Panchitos are safe. read more

Food was Terrible . They had little choices to choose from. I said no tomatoes on my torta and it had alot. The asada meat was rubbery and looked really gross to be honest. It was 7 pm and it was empty yet they took a long time for our order. Overall don't waste your money here. Totally not worth paying $90 worth of food. read more

I was looking for breakfast tacos on a drive thru and Yelp was not showing me this business, probably my search was not accurate. As I was deiving to another place, I saw this little building and decided to give it a try. We got the usual tacos "to-go" papa con huevo, bacon and egg. I think the food was fine but I didn't love the tortilla. I would go back, their service was excellent, I even told my daughter the lady was so joyful. I also ordered a "huarache " and it was good. I thought it was going ti have more meat, but oh well... I ended folding it as a taco, so next time just tacos. I want to give you some part of the menu. You are welcome! read more

I like this place. They are clean, and they are fast. The biggest plus for me is that they have a drive up window and I can order to go. I order all my tacos here for our work offices because the tacos are $0.99 cents before 10:00AM. I totally recommend this place. read more

WORST place to eat!! DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Our waitress was inconsistent, not good at her services & forgot to order my plate when we put in our order. so I'm currently leaving hungry. Then my boyfriend asks for a refill of lemonade at the beginning of his meal & she didn't bring it till he was done w/ his food. Then to top it all off she added more items to our bill then we asked for. Just an HORRIBLE experience & place to eat!! read more

GREAT FOOD BAD SERVICE: Was excited to go here because my friend told me he had good tacos in the drive-thru so I decided to go in and sat down. The environment was very nice and the lady with the headset greeted me and told me to sit wherever. I was then approached by my waitress she seemed like a very nice girl but I couldn't communicate with her especially on if the had sweet or unsweet tea. She brought some fideo as a little appetizer and it tasted very yummy! Then my entree came and she just sat it down and walked away. Didn't give me enough time to ask if I needed anything else. Idk if it's just me but I can't eat my tacos without salsa... she didn't come back for I would say 15 min leaving me without the rest of my order and salsa :( also i don't think they have refills so sip slowly! I should've gone through the drive-thru. read more

Don't order a happy hour drink one second before 4:00 (I arrived at about 3:57, took about 30 seconds to pick a seat, waited about 10-20 seconds for a menu, asked some questions about HH, waited a little less than a minute for the server an then ordered). They will not warn you that you are not within the HH timeframe, even when you state you want the happy hour margarita. Poor, poor service in that regards. Too many great places around to have to worry that the server just wants a bigger tip. We ended up paying about the same had she given us the HH price. Her loss. Outside of that, I thought the food was good but I won't return, which is too bad since I live in the neighborhood and want to support local businesses, oh well. read more

OK I'm not gonna lie I was a little skeptical because the times that I've gotten carne guisada and cheese from here it wasn't that great cuz it had tons of fat, yuck! But it's been about two years since I've came here and I am extremely surprised I actually had the enchilada chicken plate and I went through the drive-through I was expecting it to look like super basic expected for my food to be slapped on the plate like it's competitor El Rafa's who btw does not separate the food from touching each other because they literally throw it a Styrofoam plate with no divider which is one of the reasons why I stopped going there. I don't really like my food touching unless it's in my mouth,weird I know. But anywho I will definitely be coming back to La Botina .The enchiladas were so delicious the beans were so delicious and the rice was perfect honestly don't tell my grandma but this is way better than her food oh yeah and they hook it up with a sweet tea also for only $8 and some change read more

Was in the area and ran in to grab some breakfast tacos to go. The service was excellent, wait staff were super friendly and attentive. My order, it was just a few tacos, was ready in minutes!

Came here with my Husband and I would not recommend this place. I ordered a HH Margarita and it was sweet but what you get for HH! The nachos were stale and not good at all... the only thing that was good was the Hamburger! Really!!! Don't waste your money!!! The service was also slow too long to get drinks. Taco Cabana is way better!! read more

I was excited to have a new neighborhood Mexican restaurant. We live in a historical community and this new addition was great. Recently they decided to change their interior appearance. They decided to have their waitresses wear daily dukes... literally...butt cheeks were hanging out. Being an old neighborhood with long term residents and with the support of its residents towards small businesses, this was a step backwards. The food was good but not a place I'd be dinning with my family (kids) read more

We're already regulars. Great close breakfast place for Monticello Park Neighborhood. Veggie Omelets at The Hut and chiliquiles at La Botana....yummy. Mini taco plate....yummy read more

Food in restaurant good. However, tacos thru the drive thru , are usually just warm. Got the soup the other day, good flavor, but meat was tough. It's a fairly new place..will give them a chance for corrections. read more

Just me n a friend. Waited 10 min for tea. Tortillas have bleach in them. Can taste it. Horrible waitress ruby unfriendly slow n i said split orders for bill n she split bill evenly not according to order. Worst food n service ever. read more

I really don't like leaving bad reviews but I'm from out of town and my family took me to both this place and the same owner's normal Mexican restaurant on San Pedro and don't get me wrong the food is great but the management of these places is horrible. Like seriously my brother works in hospitality and offered to help the owner with proper management and scheduling. All the waitresses are responsible for seating, taking orders, bringing food and drink, busing, and whatever else. He pointed out that they won't help each other because their cut of the tip is at steak. This plus the floor manager or the bartender taking drive thru orders at the same time makes for a chaotic atmosphere where orders get screwed up or forgotten and service is absolutely horrible. It's not the waitstaff's fault or the kitchen it's sheerly mismanagement. The owner drives a Porsche and his children all Mercedes. That probably has a lot to do with the understaffing. read more
