I ordered the combination fajitas, which cost $26. They were delivered promptly, and the food was not good. Each one of the 3 meats was incredibly overcooked and had little to no discernible seasoning. My first and only bite of the food tasted like something dropped in a campfire and forgotten. The flour tortillas were stale and crunchy on the edges, the lettuce was weeping and sad. My partner ordered cheese enchiladas, and the cheese was barely melted and they were cold in the middle. read more

The food has always been amazing. Service is always been amazing. The place is very chill. They have a very large selection on their menu to choose from, and they are always courteous and eager to assist with whatever you need at your table. If you haven't been there stop by and give it a try. It's always been a five star restaurant to my family before my mother passed away. That was one of her favorite places to eat at so we continue to, enjoy our meals there as well as sharing birthday cake in March for mom's heavenly birthday!

La Botana - Margarita, specials, chips, and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Fantastic service. Ambiance is slightly old-school, old-fashioned and frozen in time. The chili was great, well-flavored instead of just spicy. Prices were very reasonable. read more

The food here was fantastic. It has been awhile since I felt at home at a Mexican restaurant. Coming from Texas I tend to be a salsa and queso snob, but this little nook in the city was fantastic. It tasted delicious and the employees were kind and hospitable. I highly recommend La Botana. read more

La Botana still has it we love coming here, our normal is a steak burrito and a chicken burrito when we are relly hungry I order queso and chips, I do love the nachos but I ask for queso it is an additional charge but I don't care. Service is always great greeted when you walk in most of the time it is sit where you want unless it's busy, ambiance is the same as always but I love they have TVs on different channels to watch games, always clean. We will be back like normal keep up the great work. read more

Great food and Awesome staff very delicious food. The Combination Molcajete is great for date feeds two and leftovers.

My youngest is on a salad kick. I brought her the salmon salad to eat after her shift one night and it quickly became a favorite. I've only ever had one disappointment here. I ordered the burrito supreme and got a flat, barely filled tortilla. Everything else has been delicious. From the carnitas to the commodities the food is almost always on point. read more

This was my first time to eat at La Botana. I'm a native Texan who has transplanted to Colorado and I'll be back! The service was amazing! We arrived mid-afternoon and were promptly seated. They didn't rush my friend and I in order to take our order - we had a lot to catch up on and talked a lot! We each had special requests and the server brought everything exactly as we had requested. He was attentive without being intrusive and kept our drinks filled. We lingered for quite a while after we finished eating and were not pressured to leave in a hurry. That's just the service! The food was delicious, too! I had a seafood dish - something that is not easily found in Mexican restaurants down in Douglas County! But, La Botana had quite a few options with seafood (and my friend, who had been here many times before clued me in that they were known for great seafood dishes!). The restaurant was clean, the parking was easy, and the food and service were great! It took me an hour and half to get there and even longer to get back down to Castle Rock and like I said . . . I'll be back! read more

Excellent food and very friendly staff! Will definitely go again when I'm in Thornton.

the food is super yummy and the staff was so nice! The salsa is wonderful:) We highly recommend this restaurant

We love this little place. Servers have always been pleasant and there is a wide selection of dishes especially of fish and shrimp. Every meal we've had has been delicious! The only thing for me is they don't list gluten free items- kind of on your own in that department. read more

Family owned, awesome staff and even better food. The difference here is clear. Try it!

Absolutely delicious food, especially the chile rojo y verde! Quick and friendly service in a casual atmosphere. Great value too :)

Excellent! My husband and I were looking for a New Mexican restaurant near us, and this was suggested to us, as we made our way over and we were not disappointed! The chile is so flavorful, and has a kick to it! They made my husbands favorite combination dish, and the chile rellanos were also amazing! No shortage of cheese in those rellanos! The servers were also extremely kind! We will return! read more

Really enjoyed our meal here. We had the steak fajitas and the chicken mole, and both were excellent. I thought the mole was better, my husband preferred the fajitas. I think it was one of the first times we have disagreed! The fajitas were pretty standard to me, but I thought the mole really bloomed the more I ate it. Lots of great flavor. I thought the tortillas were made in house, but our server said no. They were just that good! The blue margaritas are totally worth the extra dollar, highly recommend splurging on that read more

The cheese in my Chile Relleno was SPOILED!!! I could taste it right away and had to spit it out. They took my plate and asked if I would like to try anything else. So I tried some pork dish which was pretty good. Then when the bill came, they charged me for the pork dish which was more expensive than what I originally ordered. So not only did I eat rotten cheese, I got charged for an entree that I didn't even originally want. At least charge me for what I originally ordered, not the more expensive plate that I didn't want. First and last time eating here! read more

Food was just average, not bad. However, the one star is for the rude customer service. read more

Me and my wife just happened to drive by while looking for somewhere to stop and eat. We saw this restaurant and decided to give it a shot! I couldn't have been more impressed! The best chips I've ever had! So crispy and thin! And both the green and red salsas were delicious. The shredded beef was extremely flavorful...everything came out hot, staff was friendly and efficient and the place was so clean. It's a 40 minute drive here from our house and I would drive to come back! read more

We had such a great experience here today! The service was excellent and the food was amazing! Pozole was so flavorful and civiche was fresh and just perfect. This Mexican rivales the restaurants we are used to visiting in LA. Better than anything we have found in the Denver area. We will definitely be back! read more

Excellent authentic Mexican food, great service, comfortable atmosphere. Chips and salsa very fresh. Tacos al carbon was excellent!

My green chile was ok but not spicy enough for me so I asked our waiter if he had something spicy and he says yes I can bring you something. He brings me the red salsa which was nice and spicy and takes our bill, only to charge me $2.50 for a teeny tiny container of red chili which he didn't bother to tell me there was going to be an extra charge for. I am not cheap or frugal but I feel this was a bit extreme. read more

Great costumer service delicious food and very affordable prices , it's family owned and

Awesome place to have really good Mexican food. Family owned business. The drinks are awesome. They also have these new amazing cocktails in a can called El Jimador. A must try. 5 stars all the way. And the Coronarita are amazing. read more

AMAZING service. We had 4 different people check in on us multiple times, checking on our food and if we need anything. Food was delicious as well. Came out perfect to order and fast. Will definitely be coming back! read more

This used to be one of our favorite places for breakfast and lunch. We had dinner here and it was a horrible experience. The queso was as runny as water, we had to wait a very long time for food and the restaurant only had a few patrons in there, we ordered steak and pork fajitas which came to us all burnt, there was a very long hair that was cooked into one of the pieces of pork and they only gave us two tortillas. When I said something to the waitress she just took the food away and didn't say anything. When I mention something to the manager, because this is one of our favorite places to eat and we never had a bad meal here He just said well thanks for letting me know. We will not be going back here! read more

Don't go eat here if you are married. The waitress with the silver hair will give her number to your husband while you are in the bathroom. Don't recommend at all read more

We found this place 5 years ago and eat there 2-4 times each month. It has become a go to place for us. The service is fantastic, food is great. In all the times we have been there we always have fantastic service at a great price. Today is Christmas and we will be going there for a late lunch. read more

I had the chicken mole. It was outstanding. The chicken was shredded and it was plentiful! The corn tortillas were delicious and the service was excellent. read more

Food was not good, no authentic Mexican restaurant uses yellow cheese on their Enchiladas. Authentic Mexican enchiladas come with white cheese. Food is definitely overpriced for the flavor. I don't mind paying for good Mexican food but was disappointed with everything that came with my plate. Beans and Rice were not good at all. Last time going to these place. read more

this place was CLEAN, service speaks both fluent spanish and english, very welcoming, tv isn't too loud, i had the Pozole here and i LOVED how they brought the ingredients (spices, flavor, etc) in a side cup and the broth and meat in a bowl allowing you to decide how spicy and flavorful you want it. piece of advice DO NOT dump the entire side cup of flavor and spice into your broth/bowl!! the best restaurant i've been to in a while. read more

La Botana - Pozole with entire cup of side dump in. - Mexican Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Food is OK, but bland. Green chile was rather tasteless and no heat. Corn tortillas are thick, heavy, and completely without taste. They get a 3 because service was excellent, food was hot and fresh, and i am hoping another visit will prove me wrong. read more

La Botana - Mexican Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

I felt discriminated against 1st off . I came in to get food to go ,I asked them for chips and salsa because it was going to be a wait because I spent $45 on food and they told me chips and salsa would be an additional three dollars and charge me for guac charged me for shrimp and steak when I specifically said I didn't want the shrimp I only wanted steak when I ask for my money back they were extremely upsetI would not shop here I would not support this business On top of all that when I got home and I got to try the food it was mediocre at best read more

i enjoyed eating here! we got service as soon as we walked through the door, although after time after it took awhile due to having what seemed them being short staffed. but, they did make sure to check us on every so often. our food came out quickly and it was really appetizing, i had gotten a torta asada. i would recommend trying this place at least once :) read more

This place was horrible! I can't even begin to describe how disgusting this food was! If you enjoy a pound of salt in your food this is the place for you! The shrimp in the ceviche was not cooked, guacamole was salty and not fresh, carnitas was dry and very salty, menudo smelt so bad it was definitely spoiled, Steak was chewy and tasted spoiled, and bean and beef burrito had no beef! Not mention they have the nerve to overprice for this disgraceful food! The waitress clearly knew none of us at our table were satisfied with our food and still offered nothing to make up for it! What a waste of a beautiful restaurant especially during these times, establishments should be going above and beyond to satisfy patrons! read more

Meh. So so, overpriced food with good service. Probably won't be back as the quality of food is better elsewhere. Lots of fake krab in the seafood la parilla. On the menu it never said anything about fake crab. It was misrepresented as real crab. I should've known better. Yuk. Disgusting processed fake Krab made up at least 50% of the total meat that was on this plate so needless to say, I only got to eat 50% of the dinner. The garlic shrimp was good tasting, but once again overpriced for the quantity you get. The kids meals are overpriced for what you get. $6 for less than a half cup of beans and one taco is a little silly. An iced tea is $3. Wtf? Way overpriced for some crappy instant tea. They charge you $1 for an extra basket of chips. Tacky. I don't know of any other Mexican restaurant that I've ever been to, anywhere, that does that. And it wasn't like she informed us either. She just nonchalantly came by and said would you like some more chips? We said yes. And there they were on the bill, $1, like a kick in the nuts. Pros: Good service. Decent sized parking lot Lots of TVs to watch (if you understand Spanish) Full bar (if you like tequila or Mexican brandy) Cons: Way overpriced Quality of food is lacking On top of being overpriced for everything, they charge you $1 for a basket of chips. read more

This place is super authentic and we had great service. Food was also AMAZING ! I definitely recommend coming here.

Basically, the service was good. Over priced for sure for food not so great. We won't be going back for seconds.
