    Ceviche de Camaron
    Jonathan M.

    Ambiance at this location is very loud! lol. They usually blair banda music or have an actual banda. So if that doesn't bother you than it's worth stepping into this place. The ceviche here is always fresh. I generally order two them and have with some chips. There Michelada's here are hands down one the best in phx. I highly recommend getting one.

    I came here with couple friends after work, ( recommended by my coworker who lives nearby). It was a hike for me because I work and live in north Scottsdale, but it was worth it! The food were definitely one of the most authentic Mexican food that I ever have in a long time. I wish this restaurant is closer to my house, so I can come here often. Service was good and the ambiance was good. They have live music on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. My only negative about this place was that the sounds system was way too loud. I will definitely comeback next time on different nights or for lunch when there is no live music LOL Gracias!

    So I first found out about this restaurant through Grubhub... major Ceviche craving so I ordered through them & what to my wondering eyes should appear but they offer it up to 1lb & I ordered it.... Fresh & flavorful my new Ceviche go to... So I told my foodie husband Joe about it & he was like let's try the restaurant he ordered the fruit Ceviche & I ordered the regular Ceviche... I taste tested his life changing.... A few days later I ordered fruit Ceviche for delivery...we also ordered the Micheladas be careful when ordering the supreme Michelada it is really supreme (excellent service very authentic)

    This definitely made it to the #1 spot for ceviches!! The citrus flavor in the perfectly cooked shrimp is so delicious. Won't be long before I am back.

    Food was the most authentic mexican Sea Food I have had here in Phoenix. Agua Chile was very juicy and flavorful. Service is great, and ambiance was perfect, live music was there when I went. Can't wait to go back!

    Live music while we eat

    This was a great experience at a seafood restaurant with live music! The food was great! We did point out , however, that everything we ordered was pretty much the same thing served in a different manner and one different ingredient. Haha We enjoyed the experience although I believe it to be a bit overpriced. The waitress was pleasant and prompt, though she disappeared for a bit at the end while we waited for more drinks and finished our food.

    La Botana Taco - Cheese, shrimp and steak
    Maria P.

    La Botana excites all of my senses. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by one of the several beautiful female waitresses. I remember the first time walking in looking around at all the smiling faces, colorful food and drinks and feeling extra happy just being there. Doesn't matter the day of the week you go, you will either hear the juke box playing Spanish music or a one man or group singing and playing music with instruments. The environment is one to enjoy with fresh seafood and cold drinks. The shrimp ceviche tostadas are a must. It's a perfect blend of freshness, crunch and tangy flavor. The tacos are always warm with cheese and the salsas are home made with a hint of spice. I noticed the bottle of mayo and hoisin sauce and it seemed peculiar at the time, until I scoured my tostada with it. I love mayo so it was a no brainer to try. Whoa! I had been missing out! I have yet to try a dish I haven't liked. The shrimp cocktail, fish tacos and oysters are a few of my favorites also. You must not leave without having a michelada. What in the world do they use as their mix?! It's one of the tastiest I've ever had. Mix it with your favorite beer and you'll thank me later. I visit Arizona because my best friend of twenty something years moved away here. She always knows that La Botana is a must for me. Try it, you'll like it. Great service, amazing seafood and chill vibes!

    Camaron Cóctel
    Maira S.

    Came on a Sunday mind afternoon hoping to miss the rush. The place was packed; all tables were taken. Thankfully, we were able to be seated really fast. So we ordered their cóctel de camarón and camarones al mojo de ajo. The coctel had good flavor and it was pretty tasty the camarones al mojo on the other side were flavorless. They didn't even have any garlic flavor. The table next to us also complained about their oysters not being fresh. The service was good and pretty fast.

Their house blend is the best sauce I've ever had, that alone is what keeps us coming back, I believe it is a Viet style Cajun sauce. We usually get the build your own combo, with crawfish, snow crab, and a few appetizers like french fries, garlic noodles, and onion rings. I believe they have changed management recently, or in the past few years. Although the sauce remains delicious, the food quality seems to be falling, and I see that they have a few food safety violations listed on their Yelp. The garlic noodles were swimming in the watery sauce, and the Cajun fries were not tossed, just sprinkled on top. The restaurant has never been that busy when we go, and there is usually is only one server doing all the hosting, food running, and waitressing. Ours seemed to be a little stressed today, and did not refill our drinks as much as we would've preferred, and forgot things like our salt and pepper. We will probably still keep coming just for that sauce, but looks like the restaurant has a few things to work out to bring back its former glory.

The ambiance was incredibly inviting, featuring a large, open dining room and a beautiful full bar that immediately set the perfect tone for the evening. It is absolutely the kind of place I would love to revisit. ​The Service: Our server, Jackie, was phenomenal! Even though her section was packed and very busy, she was highly attentive to our needs and checked on us regularly. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and went above and beyond by suggesting interchangeable options to perfectly match our specific preferences. Outstanding service like hers really elevates the whole meal. ​The Food: Almost everything we ordered was excellent! With the minor exception of the gumbo, which just didn't quite hit the mark for our personal taste. Other than that, every single dish was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. ​We will definitely be back!

The waitress was attentive the whole time, bathrooms were clean, and I really appreciated how mindful the staff was with my deaf friend. That always stands out to me. The calamari was okay. I liked it, but my friend said she's definitely had better. I also had to ask for lemon with the calamari. Last time I came with a friend they were completely out of lemons, so I was glad that wasn't an issue this time. I'd probably try something different instead of the calamari next visit though. We got the Pier 88 combo crab boil with the "All of the Above" seasoning in mild. It came out super quick and was very well seasoned. I personally thought it leaned a little salty, but I also saw other tables adding extra salt to their food, so I guess it just depends on your taste. Portions were good and everything tasted delicious. Very kid-friendly spot, pretty loud and lively inside, and honestly a great place for hosting bigger groups, family get-togethers, or even just catching up with a friend over drinks and seafood. I've been here before and would definitely come back again.

Angie's Lobster is one of them. Not a stranger to their concept, I did see a lot of fun new stuff to try: - Crunch#!@$ Supreme with USDA Prime top Sirloin Steak, $6.99: I think the person who assembled my crunchwrap left out the tostada and tomatoes. Had it been in there, I think this would have made for an amazing crunchwrap. The steak itself was done well. - #!@$ Rib Sandwich Meal, $8.99: This is the thing to pass. Have you ever bitten into something so salt you fall onto your knees, knowing your blood pressure was about to punch the moon in the dark side? That's what happen. I was intrigued by their take on a rib sandwich but I recommend you pass on it unless you want to feel like a horse with a salt lick. - Extra #!@$ Salad Meal, $6.99: I mean, it's a salad. It's a chicken parm and spinach salad with an herbaceous pesto dressing. This was solid with no complaints. It also came with a quesadilla on the side so that was fun. Always a fan of Angie's. I can't wait for them to open up the one by my house this fall. They'll be half-a-mile away. My wallet is quivering.

I go there at least once every other month.. before, he Cod pieces used to be a nice portion for a fish sandwich. They're always put two of them on between the buns.. there was actually fish and you could taste it. I went in today 05/09/26 Ordered my regular cod, sandwich with fries and a Coke got at home and bit into it and it was mostly bread hardly any fish at all in it. I understand there's inflation but you guys are getting ridiculous with the shrink inflation of your fish sandwiches. Kind of thought it was a bargain before.... now. I just think it's a rip off bread sandwich slapped in between two pieces of bread.. It was thinner than a piece of chicken breast pounded flat in a chicken sandwich. I'm not paying for a bread sandwich that taste like fish. I also noticed none of your restaurants are consistent. Y'all sell different things.. Going to start calling you, Sybil , Because you can't make up your mind what you want to have sold in your stores to make it consistent. One place serves certain things that other places don't other places serve something else. You can't call yourself fast food if you're not consistent that's the whole business model.
