Sooo the vibes of this place are a 5/5. Good music, good vibes. Even waka flocka flame was there. Food was a 3/5 because it was average tacos and gucamole. Churros were average. Drinks were average. So come for the good vibes, but don't expect a memorable meal. read more

Botica is a nice hidden gem for brunch in buckhead. This restaurant has a nice patio area and the food was great. I ordered the steak and eggs and both were cooked to perfection. The drinks are niceeee and strong as well. With buckhead lacking a variety of good breakfast restaurants, this one is a must have. read more

Botica - Steak and eggs to go - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I finally tried Botica for lunch. I had the salmon burrito. The server mentioned that it tasted good doing half salmon, half shrimp so I took his suggestion. Ummm what? The portion was surprisingly small. The burrito looked like an enchilada with a side of rice. There was also an up charge just to mix meats, which the server failed to mention, so I paid $22 for a tiny plate of food. I legit had to grab something else afterwards. BUT the mini meal tasted good!!! So I'll still probably come back and give their brunch and margaritas a try. read more

Botica is always a great time. The food is great, the drinks are even better and the service is top tier!

I had went once before with a friend for a drink and thought how nice. But grant it I did not pay that time. I decided to take one of my employees to dinner after work. We each had one drink. I ordered two fish tacos and he had three shrimp tacos. I told the waitress I did not want the beans but I wanted to corn. When I got the food I got the beans and the corn. I didn't think anything of it assuming (operative word assuming) that it was a Mexican restaurant so it would not be expensive. I was so wrongI I decided to just keep the beans and not complain. We ordered chips and salsa and queso originally. When the queso came out I asked for jalapeños so they brought me another queso and the jalapeños. I also asked for guacamole for the chips. Now mind you all this was ala'cart. I had looked at the menu originally and saw the $5 for the tacos. When the waitress came I said I would probably keep the menu to see what else I wanted but she asked again to take the menu so I was not able to look back at what else was going to be at premium price. So when my bill came for $128 -- oh they had the 20% gratuity already in there -- I was outdone! So I write this review to tell you buyers beware this is not the atypical Mexican restaurant. Trust me. The food was not that good so it's not the "Chops" of Mexican restaurant just know what you're getting. The waitresses will not tell you about the pricing or tell you anything about the menu after they take it so just know hang onto the menu and know what you're ordering and know how pricey it is. Won't go back. read more

I had an amazing time at Botica! It's Valentines week and after a long week and weekend of running errands I decided to do something nice for myself and take myself out on a solo date to a new spot that was recommended from one of my food groups. I originally came for the meatballs but the menu had so many amazing dishes to try. First things first they have their own covered parking deck which was great since this restaurant is off of busy Peachtree it was nice to know that I could get validated parking for three hours and not have to worry about my car. When I first walked in the restaurant the ambience was really giving me good vibes it reminded me of Miami Beach and I sat at the bar and was immediately served and placed my drink order of the pineapple margarita. Delicious! The bartender recommended the Mac and cheese and it did not disappoint! The meatballs were also very delicious. I also got the fish taco and the lamb Barria taco. The fish taco was really good I will definitely come back and get it again but the lamb taco was very salty and the chickpeas that came in the taco were very random and hard and undercooked so I ended up taking them off the taco but the meat itself was so salty. I just couldn't even finish it so i would not recommend the lamb taco. To finish off my meal I ordered the churros and the dipping sauce that it came with was Nutella which I love hazelnut so this was a treat. Overall I had a really great experience the vibes were great, staff was friendly, and I can't wait to come back here and make this my new spot and try more dishes! read more

The decor was cute and patio area was comfortable. The chicken in the enchiladas was seasoned well and the rice was good. My mango margarita was okay. Nothing too special. The salsa was very "tomato-y" and sweet. Different, not necessarily my cup of tea to have to pay for chips and salsa separately. Our waiter was sweet and helpful with recommendations. read more

Let me tell you this and only this: only go here and ask for Terrance (but not on Saturdays cause that's my day). Terrance gave us the best service I hand ever had in life. We were a little disappointed that the bottomless mimosas were no more but Terrance softened the blow with his amazing service and personality. He went above and beyond for us. Also he's single so whoever he end up with better treat him right or I'll come find you! SN: the food was really good too lol! read more

Dine in | Dinner | $30-50 My daughter and I ate here yesterday which was Christmas Day. I saw an ad on Instagram clicked the link in their bio and made reservations for 4:30 pm. I did read reviews ahead of time so I was aware of the parking deck we did not have trouble finding a decent spot. Upon arrival there was a lot of people waiting in the lobby. The restaurant was packed. The line to check in was kind of hectic. Once we made it to the hostess we were asked if we had a reservation and to use the kiosk to the left to validate parking in the deck. The kiosk was easy to use you just need your tag number, email, phone number and done. They validate parking for 3 hours. The hostess informed us that even with the reservation there was a 15 minute wait and we would receive a text when our table was ready. Thankfully our table was ready in 10 we were seated at a booth. Our server Maria promptly came over to take our drink orders. I asked for her recommendations for a libation she gave me several. I went with a signature cocktail called the Crafted Paloma it cam with the spicy rim which had a smoky flavor as well. It was refreshing, strong and not overly sweet. We ordered the wings and halibut ceviche for our appetizers both $16.00 each. The wings were tiny we got them hot but they tasted more like mild and we chose the avocado ranch as the dipping sauce it also comes with celery on the side. They were tasty but definitely not worth $16.00 for the portion size. The halibut ceviche had a nice presentation. It taste very fresh the lime was bright and delightfully acid. Unfortunately, the portion was lacking. There was shredded lettuce at the bottom as a filler which should have been more halibut and shrimp. Again not worth $16.00 for around 3 bites. It is served with fried plantains which we had plenty left because the ratio to ceviche was off. For our main course we both went with the tacos which are $5.50 each and the Mexican rice and black beans were $5.00 each: Shrimp taco: had salad size shrimp almost non existent Fish taco: the fish was fried it was delicious Carne asada taco: the meat was tender and flavorful Mexican rice: looked tasty but was bland Black beans: were okay nothing special For dessert our server suggested the croissant pudding which was $8.00 and worth every penny! It was served with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle absolutely delicious! The bill came to $113.12 there is an automatic 20% gratuity no matter your party size added to all checks. Our server Maria was fantastic! (which I found refreshing because normally when a gratuity is automatically added the servers don't feel the need to do their job because they know they get a tip anyway) Maria was very upbeat and pleasant, gave thoughtful recommendations, and checked on us frequently. This place is a bit overpriced for the portions. The decor was nice they have plenty of large screen tv's. Overall I enjoyed the experience. read more

I went here for the first time a couple weeks ago for drinks and the menu looked so good I had to come back for food. Service and food were both great. I sat outside when dining in and a homeless lady screaming profanity walked by disrupting lunch. The servers came back with shots for everyone to apologize for the homeless lady. Excellent service! read more

While the food and atmosphere are actually quite good, the fact that they automatically add 20% gratuity without alerting their customers is underhanded and obnoxious. Is it even legal? Definitely not ethical. If you do not carefully check the detailed bill, you would never know. Servers never mention. And it's for any size parties. Even 2 people. My guess is that at least 50% of their patrons double tip for average service.Buyer beware! I won't be back. read more

Botica has only been around since the beginning of 2021, but they are already making a splash in the Atlanta restaurant scene with their Spanish/Latin inspired foods, delish cocktails and stellar service! Botica comes to us from the mind of Chef Mimmo, who is well known in the Atlanta restaurant circuit. He is former owner of Red Pepper Taqueria and I know that if you truly love your tacos and live in Atlanta, you have had one or 17 tacos from RPT! Botica sits in the space that used to house Watershed, directly on Peachtree. They did a great job repurposing the space! When you walk through the large wooden doors you are immediately greeted by the beautiful and well stocked bar that sits center of the room. The bar is outfitted with backlit shelves of spirits, a few frozen cocktail machines and a couple of TV's. This main room also features booths and tables and a massive wall of TV's! The next room over is more of a formal dining room, but still carries the theme and even the TV's throughout. Finally the other space is the outdoor patio that lines Peachtree! It is covered and spacious - I cannot wait to enjoy a cool Atlanta evening out there in the spring or fall! The menu is not massive, they have plenty of options, but it is not overwhelming and I can dig it as they clearly have perfected the items that are on the menu as I would rather have 10 dishes perfectly executed than 100 mediocre items. The main menu features appetizers such as the classics we know and love...nachos, guacamole, tamales and queso, but also offers a few items that are clearly Spanish in influence such as carpaccio, mussels, oysters, octopus and even tuna crudo. In addition the appetizers the menu showcases their selection of tacos, soups/salads, sides, desserts and plates such as enchiladas, burgers, fajitas, etc...Something else they offer is the the Chef and Owners signature "Chico Sauce", which is a hot sauce that comes in a few varieties such as ghost pepper, scorpion pepper or habanero pepper. I did not try on this visit, but I can see how that would accompany some of their tacos quite nicely! Food wise, our table got the carpaccio and queso. Queso was solid, I wish we would have added the chorizo, but live and learn! The carpaccio was next level! The wagyu was absolute perfection and the truffle oil and capers were a welcome addition to the wagyu that topped the crispy and thick toast that accompanied the dish. After our apps, we ordered actual meals and I just ordered a few tacos a la carte. All tacos are priced $4.50, which given the options and the tacos themselves is a great deal! As with many places, you can get with flour or corn. I went with flour for all mine, no regrets. I ordered the Crispy Fish, Lamb Birria and Beef Barbacoa. Honestly, I was expecting to have a difficult choice on what was my favorite, but even though they were all delish, the beef barbacoa put everything else to shame! The beef was juicy, tender and seasoned perfectly and then you toss the pickled onions and salsa on top and BAM, taco perfection! For drinks we all got Ranch Water, which is super simple and super tasty. It is simply tequila, seltzer water and lime juice over ice. If this isn't your thing they have a healthy offering of adult beverages including wines, margaritas, cocktails, beers and even cocktails to go! And of course they have a hefty list of tequilas! Brunch is a thing here as well, and while I have not experienced it just yet, they do offer it on the weekends from 10a - 4p. The brunch menu is limited and only features about 10 items from your standard breakfast plate to chilaquiles and even benedicts, plus a few dessert options. With that being said and knowing I am a lover of all things chilaquiles, I am pretty sure it won't be long before I swing in here on the weekend! Parking is no issue here as since they sit at the base of a residential building, they have plenty of parking in the attached parking deck. Just make sure to register your vehicle upon entry with the staff, as if you do not they could ticket you if they are not aware the reason for your visit! Service was phenomenal. We started our night at the bar and then moved down to a table once we got the food. At the bar and at the table, Mina (sp?) helped us out and his energy was infectious! You can tell folks come to this spot for this dude as he knew everyone that walked in and out of those doors! They do take reservations, so I would suggest doing that on those busy nights or weekends. You can do it through OpenTable or their website. Overall, my first trip to Botica will certainly not be my last. The experience as a whole was great. I am excited to see what the future looks like for them and can't wait to swing back through for my next visit...and the one after that, and after that too! read more

Sucks to write a bad review for a small business, but here goes... Disorganized and unprofessional staff Staff spends more time socializing than working. Pretty sure staff is HIGH or otherwise wasted. Food is mediocre for the expensive price (doesn't taste like fresh ingredients) Sports bar vibe/food for luxury dining cost, not worth the parking! No management, just not the same place. The owner was too busy tyring to get numbers instead of managing the food quality, service, and customer experience. I should have gone to Taco Bell...smh read more

So was meeting a few friends to celebrate one's birthday and this was her choice not mine. To me it was nothing special although I did like the salt on my margarita. I had two Pork Pastor tacos and I was not impressed. The birthday day girl chose Enchiladas and she seemed ok with them. Our other friend had Nachos with beef a remember that commercial "Where's The Beef" so a $21 plate of beans and lettuce. Our server seemed occupied. Overall not that impressive. read more

TERRIBLE service... hosts and management are complete assholes. Offered excuse after excuse for why they couldn't accommodate a change of table request that was right under a blaring speaker despite having many open tables away from their speaker system. Was looking forward to trying Botica, but will not be back due to their arrogant, rude and completely unreasonable staff. This experience was worse than the shitty rendition of Britney Spears Toxic that they were blasting, which is fitting considering how toxic their employees were towards customers. 0/5 stars, won't be back. read more

We had a really bad experience here. I gave the restaurant 3 stars but the rest of my group was urging me to give 2. The service was horrible. They include 20% gratuity with any order, which was unfortunate bc we waited and waited for everything. And some items we asked for we never got. Tacos came out room temperature and no one at the table (out of 8) really enjoyed what they ordered. Also worth noting, you have to pay for salsa and chips here. With all that said, they have a nice patio with fans and TVs, so that's a plus. read more

Came here for a Sunday birthday brunch. Food and drinks are bomb!!! I got the steak & egg nachos...so good! They had bottomless mimosas but I opted for a specialty drink and it was really good too. Got a nice little buzz. I sat outside on the patio which was nice since you're overlooking the city and able to people watch. The service was a bit lacking in my opinion. The waiter was slow and there were a few issues with some orders with others in my party. My assumption is because the gratuity is already included. Other than that, it was a cute time. Typical Atlanta brunch vibe. There were quite a few patrons who got way too drunk so that was interesting and somewhat a vibe kill...and this was BEFORE the tiktok hype. I hope things are a little more well managed if I decide to go back because the food is so good. read more

Not worth the hype! Came to this place based on the exciting ads on Instagram, But it was not worth the drive or the money spent here. I spent $212 on one cheap bottle of rosé wine, two Birria Tacos & one plate of nachos. Slow service, flavorless food, overpriced, AND they add 20% To all checks despite the size of the party (my group consisted of 3 people). It was also a mission to find parking, get ready to pay for parking too. So disappointing! read more

Back at here and I must say my experience the second time around was great! I was seated immediately and our server was very responsive and timely with our order. The restaurant has a fun and lively atmosphere and I highly suggest dining in their patio area for a beautiful view of the city. For starters you can't go wrong with chips and dip..and not just any dip but cheesy queso and guacamole. To drink I ordered the Crafted Paloma, which is a mixture of don julio blanco + grapefruit + soda. As well as an order of their lime margarita. The restaurant offers a mixture of sophisticated yet street style food from their steak quesadilla to their addictive tacos. Overall a great experience and I will be returning. read more

I seen this spot on TikTok as a good place to visit brunch however, we went on a Friday night. We were late to our reservation and the host still was able to get us seated in a reasonable. I'm giving them two stars because the services was slow and they were out of the two things I went there for. The spicy mike didn't come with the trimmings around the cup because they were out. The birria taco was underwhelming. I guess I expected what I had been seeing all over the internet. I may give it another try for brunch. read more

Decided to try out this new Mexican restaurant/bar on a Sunday night. We made a reservation for 3 but there was really no need, there were plenty of tables available. The space itself is very nice and open. They have a lot of outdoor seating as well as indoor. I love the decor, music, and overall feel of the place. Our server was very nice and attentive. I really enjoyed my house margarita - it was strong but not overwhelming. It was just perfect. I could tell it was fresh. I also liked my friend's pineapple marg. The food however was not great. We were disappointed and we all agreed we probably wouldn't be back or even recommend the place. I ordered the fried fish taco which was very good and the lamb taco which was surprisingly and overwhelming dry. I had to take a big gulp of water to wash it down. I did not expect that. The barbacoa taco was given to me by mistake and it was a lot better than the lamb taco. We ordered octopus to share. It was okay. We did not enjoy the potatoes it came with. That's an odd combination. The potatoes were too big and dry. It would probably be better served with plantain chips. Something not so dense. We also had the guacamole and were a little disappointed. It was bland and could have used more lime and salt. Also chips and salsa are not complimentary which kinda disappointed us. Their competitors down the street offer this so not really sure what point they're trying to prove here by charging $6 for ONE salsa and chips (that's right you can only choose one and it's not bottomless). I would have been okay with it if their food made up for it but unfortunately that wasn't the case. If I ever come back it will be for the drinks only! read more

The cutest aesthetic for those who want the ambiance to match the taste. Yet there are tons of TVs for those who want to watch sports! I went for a late lunch/early dinner on Sunday and hated I missed brunch! The food was affordable AND flavorful! I had fish and lamb tacos, Mexican rice, and the hot wings with avocado sauce. I was full, but almost ordered more because it was so tasty. Even more, the mix of people was diverse in class, age, race, and sex. Can't wait to be back for more fun in their patio sun! read more

Mannnnn where do I begin?!!! This place is by far the BEST Spanish restaurant in Atl! I have so many great things to say but for the sake of sparing y'all all a whole book I'll try to stick to the important parts. The first thing on my list obviously is the food! Every and I repeat, every single dish I've tried here has been a ten! I'm such a picky eater and I hate trying new things but like I said, every dish I tried was superb! First let's talk drinks! So far while visiting I've had the Aperol Spritz Frozè, the Prickly Pear Margarita, the Grandarita, and Sangria. The individual twist that each drink had is what made the drinks unique to me! The Frozè was sweet but not overwhelming and the pineapple and grapefruit garnishes really set this drink off! It's the perfect beverage for the spring and summer time! The margaritas are freshly made and they don't use bottom shelf Tequila here so you don't have to worry about hangovers (trust me take my word for it I came on national margarita day lol) and the sangria was very good and strong. Now let's talk appetizers. The Appetizers here are good enough to be considered full entrees strictly based off of their presentation, attention to detail, and overall flavor and taste! The appetizers I got were the chips and Salsa, the Nacho Botica, the Raw Oysters, the crispy smoked wings, the Mussels, The Tuna Tartare, the Spanish Octopus. Even though I enjoyed all of these plates, my top favorites were the Spanish Octopus, the Mussels, the Crispy Smoked Wings, and The Nacho Botica. The Spanish Octopus is soooooo flavorful and it was this smoked taste that just has you wanting more with each bite of you take! Octopus already has a rubbery texture to it but this was easy to chew and fresh. It also came with potatoes to complement the octopus which I really enjoyed. The mussels surprised me the most! The presentation was phenomenal and the mussels were soaked in a champagne cream sauce with this bread on the side to dip the sauce in, and the mussels came with a generous amount which I loved. It was just so good I can't even believe it still. As for the wings they were crispy, seasoned well, dipped in sauce, and I was very surprised at how good they tasted as well because it's hard to find good wings if you're not at wing spot but these were spot on. The Nachos are definitely a good thing to get if you want to get something to fill you up while also not spending a generous amount of money. The nachos are topped with Queso, pico de Gallo, refried black beans, guacamole, roasted corn and you can add the meat of your choice if desired. For the entrées I got the Carne Asada taco which was very tasty and only 4 dollars but by the time I ate all my appetizers and drinks I didn't even space for more food. However I always save room for dessert! For Desert I got the crispy churros and they were the best churros I've had from an authentic Spanish restaurant. The chocolate sauce wasn't too sweet which I liked and I also appreciated them using powdered sugar instead of regular sugar. The only thing I would say about the churros was that I wish they were more crispy however they weren't dripped in oil or too greasy so I enjoyed them nonetheless. Outside of food I love their outdoor patio, their bar section, the dining rooms, and overall customer service because everything is so nice. They have jumbo TVs everywhere, lit candles at every table, and you just feel like you're in a peaceful place. They have live music and violinists which really set off the ambience of this restaurant. The manager and servers are so so nice and I have to shout out my friend Jorge who is the best server I've ever had in my whole life! His personality just lights up the room and And his service is impeccable I literally only come when he's working lol. You can tell that management here as well as other faculty and staff care about their customers because multiple people will check up on you whether they're your server or not and it's just really nice to see. Very COVID friendly and are disinfecting constantly while also social distancing the tables six feet apart. And you don't have to worry about parking because the validate it through an IPad in the restaurant all you need is your license plate number! If you can't tell I truly love this place and feel like everyone should come get a taste of the best authentic Spanish restaurant in Atlanta read more

I came here for a second time. This visit was for dinner. I enjoyed my server and food however I think they could be a bit more accommodating for dietary restrictions. I would have loved to order the enchiladas and asked for the chicken to be replaced with beans. They couldn't because they were pre rolled. There's very few (I think one, a falafel taco) vegetarian options that aren't sides. I think there's missed opportunities here :( read more
