First time comming to this place and loved it. Was never willing to try it but wanted a açaí bowl and this place was better than expected. Not much a vibe there, place just to grab and go in my opinion. The service was spot on. Açaí with PB is my thing and the raspodo is my guilty pleasure. read more

Got the Clamato preparado from here. The Clamato mix was good and they did not skimp on the shrimp, beef jerky, and clams.

This place is really cool, I would love to try the chips but we decided on a tamarindo drink with chamoy and candy. I felt like the tamarindo taste was not there , almost watered down. Definitely want to try the chamango next time. The people who work there are super nice and we got our drink fairly quick. read more

Quiero dejar una reseña porque se me hizo súper pésimo el servicio que recibí hoy. 8/29/25 aprox. 8:30 pm. La mujer que atendía en la caja, se portó muy amable y se nota que apenas va empezando porque no estaba muy segura de varias cositas. Le pedí un rasclamato y mientras me estaba cobrando la mujer de en medio le dice que lo cobre picosito; lo cual se me hizo muy bizarro porque es lo que siempre pido cada que voy y nunca me han cobrado extra. Aclaro que no es por el dinero sino, en mi opinión, querer poner cargos innecesarios. A lo que yo le respondí que como que extra si se supone que estoy pidiendo un rasclamato, que en su descripción dice claramente "clamato preparado". Porque sería necesario un cargo extra que no estoy pidiendo? Total que me dieron mi orden pero sin la banderilla. A lo cual me regresé y le comenté a la muchacha que no me puso banderilla y me dice que el rasclamato no lleva banderilla. Le dije "como me vas a cobrar picosito pero no me vas a dar lo que pague" y la mujer me volvió a repetir que así se cobra pero no se da, a lo que yo le volví a alegar y no le quedó de otra más que decir pásamelo y ponerle la banderilla. Vuelvo y repito no se trata del dinero si no en la manera tan despota y engañosa de hacer las cosas. Espero y ese tema se aclare porque no se me hace justo y menos en la actitud asquerosa de la mujer. Si no les gusta trabajar con gente deberían de buscar otro trabajo. Yo he tenido varios empleos con servicio al cliente y jamás me he portado así con nadie. Aclaro también que si el dueño tiene cámaras podría ver que en ningún momento me porte grosera a pesar del pésimo servicio que recibí. Espero y me reseña sea un motivo para mejorar el servicio y la manera en la que hacen su trabajo. read more

As an organic carbon-based lifeform who routinely consumes nutrient beverages, I must report that Botanas Locas has achieved optimal smoothie performance. The Very Berry smoothie activated approximately 97% of my flavor receptors, while the Piña Colada smoothie initiated a near-transcendent tropical simulation in my brain. Additionally, the customer service efficiency matrix is consistently above average. The staff executes friendliness protocols with remarkable accuracy. Conclusion: I will continue returning to this location to acquire blended fruit liquids. Highly recommended for all humans. read more

I actually really like this place. Good prices, the guy that is normally there is very nice. As well as the owner. The only issue I would say I have is the guy that is normally there by himself doing everything; handling money. And working in the back. He never wears gloves and I don't see a visible hand washing station and so I question how often hand hygiene is probable?. Since everything is done in the back you can't really know what he touches. There's a small window but it only shows the person in the back from the shoulders up. So I think the guy should wear gloves and after he touches money or the register needs to wash his hands or change gloves if he's wearing any. You don't know as well if someone may have an allergy to something. Last thing you'd want is for someone to be sick. read more

I was craving a raspado on a Saturday Night at 835 pm to be exact . Most places are closed at this time ... SMH - but yelped saved the night . I found this place which was open until 9 ... We walked in here about 7 minutes before closing time and the 2 gentlemen working provided incredibly customer service... I was impressed about them not turning us away since they were likely almost done with closing chores and ready to go home. I ordered a Spicy (picosito) Tamarind raspado and a chamango and both were perfectly prepared. Raspado was not under or over spicy nor too sweet- I was able to finish it all without getting s stomach ache. The Chamango was equally delicious - it had the right amount of chamoy and was able to enjoy the blended mango without the sour chamoy over powering this mango slushy. We will be back to taste banana , walnut, eggnog raspados and an escamocha & will update post when I do :) Thank you for your superb customer service and delicious Raspados and Chamango ! read more

I was a little nervous because it's hard to find a good mexican snacks place that doesn't just have a bunch of sugar and fake ingredients. This Chamango was EVERYTHING!!! From the perfect thicc smoothie texture to the FRESH mango on top it was perfection. Haven't tried anything else but after this first AMAZING experience, I will go back! Muchas gracias!! read more

First time going today to Botanas Locas, the kid behind the counter needs a spank from mommy & daddy, he had a bad attitude the whole time, horrible service. Had to keep repeating our order and he was very unwelcoming. We're going somewhere else next time, there are plenty of competitors. read more

It's been years since my husband and I have been here, but we had to make the drive down because I'm pregnant again and was craving a Chamango. The only thing that has changed is the interior design and new additions to the menu. My first kiddo loves the new additions to the menu. (She got Cotton Candy ice cream with whip cream and sprinkles.) The service is 5/5 even after all these years, which we really appreciate. The owner asked us if we had any questions as soon as we walked in and he even followed up when we were almost done eating to see how we liked our dessert. My family & I will always support this spot and will be back to try their new menu options. read more

I love the fact that Botanas Locas partnered with Freshly Greens, so now they serve saladas, wraps, and delicious bowls! My favorite is the Konishiwa bowl, which is mouth watering just by looking at the picture! I've gone back several times to get this specific bowl. In addition, I've tried the Ensenada bowl which is also good, but my favorite is the Konishiwa bowl! read more
