I live down the street about half mile from La Botana and drove by several months after moving to the area. Finally one day my cruriosity got to me and I pulled in for dinner about 5:30 pm. As stated in other reviews, it was very clean and well decorated. It was right before the dinner crowd so I go my order quickly. I got a combination plate and everything on it was very good! Coming from south Texas I was quite the expert on Mexican food and they passed with flying colors! Writing this review made me hungry, so I'm going in for their lunch menu specials! ***** read more

It was good, not great. Went here on accident. We were looking for Los Nogales, but then figured out our friend said Las Palmas, and were already by Los Nogales. Looked up their reviews and decided La Botana had better reviews. The food was good, (too much garlic) service was good. But the sauce for the dishes was a bit bland. Since this is pretty far away from us we won't return. read more

Visited for the second time on a Sunday and boy was it packed! Looks like they recently remodeled the place from the outside but inside looked the same. For as many people were waiting they should have considered expanding the place. I don't know if the man eating next to me was more annoyed then I was since he was eating and I was standing right behind him. There was a small waiting area in the front of the building but it was freezing in there. Food was okay and service the same. I'll probably be back since my husband likes it but it's not my first choice. read more

Fantastic flavors, authentic. Traditional tacos are great! First time here. Went at lunch time, service was great. Clean place.

Dropped in for a quick bite and was blown away by the food. Huge portions and phenomenal quality. Definitely recommend

Delicious place! They're beef and cheese smothered burrito is to die for! My girlfriend and I like to eat her a lot and get take out from them as well! This is some great inexpensive Mexican food! read more

Real good pazole. Staff is real friendly and always checks on you to make sure your ok. Really good authentic Mexican food.

This place used to be great, but their food quality has really declined. I'm not a very picky eater but have had some pretty gross chile rellenos here. They use a very low quality cheese that makes the food taste greasy and salty. I've tried different food options as my friend enjoys coming here but its just not the same anymore. The fruit juices they offer are also pretty awful. The staff is nice and work hard but their food is just not as good as it once was. read more

Well read some of the reviews and wasn't sure about the place. So finally stopped yesterday. Asked the waitress to recommend and had the shrimp tacos, Wow to bad I had waited so long to stop. It wasn't a fancied up dish like downtown places. Great seasonings, came with a tomatillo sauce which I normally despise. Well if you don't like tomatillo obviously people can make it outstanding because I wanted to lick the bowl when finished. It made a good taco great. And the pico was excellent. The chips were fresh and obviously made in-house, the salsa sauce with the chips was good just not enough of it. Not sure who thought it was spicy, I would say mild at best but... heat is relative and I thought I was a gringo soooo? As for the decor you read about, the place is dinky, the bar is a bar, so what's new about a restaurant with a bar in the middle of it. So you are right up against it where ever you sit. But it looked like the bar seats 4 people, not like you are in a crowded bar! The flan for desert, smooth and very tasty. I love a flan that is smooth and they are hard to find, flavor was excellent. The waitresses, awesome, kept stopping by the tables and it was busy. Not an empty seat for very long and it was 2 PM of a Friday afternoon. Going back today to just confirm with a different dish. Only complaint, the parking lot is dinky and tight but that isn't the foods fault. Ok, stopped back by the next day and had the Carnita plate. While not quite as good as the shrimp tacos it was very good as well. Still a 4 only because the green chili was only what I consider good (I set very high standards for green as it is my favorite condiment, main course or dessert!). The Carnita however was cooked like it should be, slow cooked so it is tender, don't even have to pull it apart with a fork just press down on it and it comes apart. Yet sear so it has crispy crunch, caramelized flavor only produced by browning and seasoned so it has a bright pork flavor! Yum is all I can say, mopped up the last of it with the tortilla so none was missed. Beans were ok, guc was ok after some salt. Well done. Parking lot was still small had to go around the block and wait for a place my 1 ton truck would fit. read more

After living in the area for 30 years, I tried this place and found great food and service! Honest, authentic Mexican food and friendly staff. When I had workers in to remodel my house, I would order a bag of breakfast burritos at $2 each every few days! That made them happy . read more

Should be 2 1/2 stars. This is the classic boring Mexican food place. soggy burritos. Not much that stands out here. Not a fan. Lot's of good Mexican places to go to. This is not one of them. read more

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant. Even after I bought my new house, we drive the extra 10 minutes to eat there. It has become part of our family tradition. Good food, family business, good prices! read more

I used to love this place but it's gone down hill the last two times I've been here we've found a hair in our food that is gross and the owner always looks at us as its our fault that the plate has a hair never again will I be coming back to this place nor will I ever recommend to anyone!!!!!! read more

LA Botana is awesome the food and service is Great! Everyone is Great. The atmosphere is nice the people are friendly.

They have gluten free! I get the flautas - have tried both the beef and chicken - and crave them at least once a week. Their rice and bean are also gluten free, so I usually get the whole plate. They are lavish with sour cream and guac on top. My only complaint is the freshness has really varied between orders; once or twice tasting like they had been under a light too long (tough, oily). Overall, I would definitely recommend! I usually take out now, but the service inside was great, and very friendly. I am going to venture to try a different gluten free dish, but I really love the flautas! read more

This is my husband and my favorite Mexican Restaurant. Their food is authentic and good! My husband is Mexican and moved to CO from CA so knows good Mexican and he actually likes this place! read more

Very bland food. Tamale had very little meat, very thick tortilla. Very disappointing. Won't be coming back.

Terrible. Especially when Tia Maria's is 3 miles away with amazing food. Very little flavor and quality of food seemed poor.

I went to La Botana they messed up my order and then refused to fix the problem with the order which they did wrong. When I went to the manager or owner they refused to help I would not recommend eating here read more

Went to this place while my car was being worked on and was not sorry!! Excellent food and service despite being completely packed and small space for staff and diners to maneuver around. The green child was delicious!!! I had a smothered burrito and bowl or green chile and I will be going back no doubt!!!! Really courteous staff as well. Clean as well. read more

I ordered the shredded beef chimichanga. It came out really hot with a crispy exterior. The beef was flavorful but needed something else

This place is The Bomb Diggety! I live in Lakewood but was up here getting some work done on my motorcycle at Sun Honda nearby. I asked the guys there where a good place for breakfast was and they recommended this place. I am so glad they did and I WILL be driving all the way up here to come back! I ordered the pork chops and eggs and it came smothered in their amazing green chile with two hot tortillas on the side. I asked for a taste of their chicharron and they brought me a plate full... for free! Awesome food, good prices for good portions and friendly welcoming folks. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other amazing things on their menu. Muchas gracias!! read more

We just moved here from Texas and it's been hard finding a good small Town Mexican restaurant! This place is just down the street from us and is always packed. We finally tried it the other night and was very pleased. Very affordable and the food tasted great! We are already planning to go back!!! Great service. read more

A friend and I eat here frquently. We love good Mex food, and this place does not dissapoint. I have tried many different items from the expansive menu, and have found the servings to be generous and tasty. The place is clean, and the servers have always been friendly and efficient. Even though we are usually the only "gringos" in the place, we have always been treated well and felt welcome. If you want good Mex food, go where the Mexicans go! read more

The food is good, my favorite are the shrimp tacos with the tomatillo salsa. The owner is usually there when we go and he's pretty friendly. My one complaint is that service isn't that great. I am never sure who our main server is since we get seated by one, another takes our drink order, another takes our food order, another brings out our food, so if we ask one for let's say water, we don't get it until we ask another server. It's a hassle so we don't end up getting our water, box, tortillas, etc until halfway through the meal. read more

I have never had such terrible service. From the moments we came we had to ask the servers to stop and help us. We asked for advice as to what's good on the menu and the guy had no personality. When we got our food, they set it down no comment, we had to stop him to order condiments, then no one checked on our food. We then had to stop another person to get our tab and boxes. We saw her walk to the server, they talked for about five minutes glaring and gossiping before they went to get what we needed. Could have been cause we were the only white people in the place. When we got the tab we told the lady to keep the change cause we didn't get the best service from our actually server. we then received a very rude response when she said "well was something wrong?" So we explained that it would have been nice to have someone check on us, so she continued with "we are all checking on you and we are to busy to deal with this". We decided after all the attitude we would rather not leave a tip (we are servers, this is the first time in my life to purposefully not tip) so we stop back at the lady and just asked for our change back. As she gave us change she said "thank you please DONT come again" I was irate. Wouldn't be surprised if out food was spit in. The food is decent, sorta bland but when you're as hungover as we were, it's all good. I would never go back to such a rude place. read more
