COME FOR THE TACOS. Seriously. That is the whole review. The tacos here are a little cheaper than most places and somehow way better than they have any right to be. I went with three kinds because I respect myself. Barbacoa, bacon, egg / vegetarian. Every single one was good but let us not kid ourselves. Barbacoa is king and it remains undefeated. Always. My wife ordered the sour cream enchiladas and was clearly very happy with her life choices. My kids went full breakfast mode with pancakes, eggs, sausage and bacon. The bacon was a bit overcooked so next time I may ask them to stop just short of turning it into charcoal. Service was excellent. They checked on us often and brought anything we needed without us having to do that awkward looking around thing. The inside is a little worn down but honestly that just fits the bill with authentic Mexican. If the place looked fancy I would be suspicious. We will absolutely be back once our pants fit again. read more

Was curious and skeptical after reading reviews. Decided to try after work today, not impressed. Ordered a Gordita, the Gordita was dry, lettuce looked like cabbage shredded, yellow cheese and no tomato as I had asked for. Chips and salsa were nothing special. Don't plan to return. ‍ read more

I get their shredded chicken tacos (or corn or flour tortillas) almost every Tuesday. They're never dry and that's without the red or green sauce. I do also love their sauces, this is one of the best places to eat in Bryan because the service is also great. I use their drive thru! read more

The food was Horrible, the restrooms stink and it was just nasty we got a piece of plastic in the food ,they need to close this place down .

We've dined at LB for 7-8 years and tonight we weren't disappointed. Tacos were great! Lots of meat. Many places serve beans with no flavor, but these were quite good. A nice spot to visit. read more

I ordered a breakfast plate. The hashbrowns are cooked so hard. They're not even freaking edible. These people have no pride in what they hand out the window and it's ridiculous. These hashbrowns are so hard you can't even chew them and they knew that when they put them in the food box. read more

La Botana Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Bryan, Texas

The Carne Guisada is soft and delicious. One of my favorites at La Botana, hands down.

Do not patron La Botana restaurant. Horrible food and poor customer service. The OWNER refused to fix an issue and said in so many words that I was lying. The employees put 4-5 tortilla chips in my order of nachos and thought that was acceptable for the price I paid. read more

It was really good. But the queso was not. The queso was like melted American cheese. I did not care for it, but others may like that. Service was a bit longer than I expected. read more

I have the worse experiences every time I call. I understand they get busy but when I call in for a take out order I get put on hold and almost 5 minutes later I hear a click! They hung up on me. I mean I understand they have to check people out that are leaving but it takes less then a minute to write down a small order. Just saying, it'd annoying! Next time I'll definitely just call somewhere else! read more

They are open for business. Busy, a little crowded, but still great food at grthey opened their dining room last Friday. I had the steak fajita quesadillas for lunch today. This is a very good restaurant. Love the green salsa. The red is not bad. Steak quesadillas here is my absolute favorite meal. Perfectly seasoned and grilled fajita, chopped up and a great portion put on the quesadilla with loads of cheese. About 3/4" thick yummy gooey goodness. Rice is always fluffy and fresh. Retried beans have the right consistency and a hint of bacon grease . If you haven't tried this Wednesday lunch special for $6.50 with an iced tea, you are missing a true gem. Great meal!!! Thank you read more

We were just passing through College Station and wanted something quick to eat. Everything we ate was delicious, even the free salsa was amazing. The people working there were very polite. I recommend! read more

Upon first glance you can tell that it's a family owned restaurant, the inside of the restaurant is never too busy to get a crowded feeling but it also makes you feel like your at home. Customer service was great the lady there was able to recommend 10 dishes and back i personally chose the fajitas and the beef was so tender it was splitting with the edge of the fork. Only thing i would change is longer straws it got annoying having to put my finger inside the cup to reach the straw everytime. read more

The food is so good the breakfast tacos are the best and the waiter Denise is the best you should ask for here when you go

Food is so so, Small portion big price, charge you more then menu price a plate is 10 dollars get charged 15 dollars or more depending what you get at the front, charge for using a card that's 5 dollars extra never will be coming back. Plus we all got sick after leaving there almost instantly. read more

The food is just okay. The atmosphere is a downer. The service is slow. I would recommend choosing any other Mexican restaurant .

I'm a huge fan of Mexican food. So when I find a place in a town where that style of food is pretty sparse, you tend to give them more chances than they really deserve. I gave this place four chances, and they couldn't come through even once! The last time I went, I ordered a chicken chimichanga (deep fried burrito), and asked for the red gravy (enchilada sauce) along with cheese drizzled on top. The entree arrived with sides of rice and beans. I'll tell you what... I literally tasted the chimi once, and the beans and rice, twice before bailing on the whole meal. As I walked up to the cashier station to pay (yeah I was going to pay and get the hell out of there), the cashier motioned to my waitress in excited and animated motion at how I left the meal untouched. They both asked me what was wrong, in a very concerned and empathetic manner. I told them how the chicken tasted burnt and ashy, the beans and rice were cold, and the what they call red sauce was nothing more than a thin tomatoey mild salsa. They wanted to make amends and asked me to wait and at least order something else from their menu. Like a sap, I reluctantly agreed to order the cheese enchiladas... to go. I mean come on, they're simple cheese enchiladas, how can you ruin enchiladas? Yeah... epic fail. They arrived cold and wallowing in a thin velvetta like cheese sauce that was obviously stretched out to conserve the "goodness". Come on guys! It's simple, and there's no way you can F it up, and Jesus died on the cross for your sins, so there isn't any excuse to screw up cheese and corn tortillas! Sigh, never again. lol read more

This is my first time here; I am trying the cabrito. haven't had any since Jr. High, when I lived on a dairy and it was homemade. Dining area is clean and staff is courteous and very helpful; I did have a few questions about the cabrito which were promptly answered. Two problems though - wobbly table (I hate that!) and the price. The cabrito soft tacos and a to-go garden salsa - $15 and change including tip. All in all, I had a good experience. Will more than likely go there again. read more

La Botana Mexican Restaurant - Cabrito plate at La Botana. - Mexican Near Me - Bryan, Texas

horrible everything. service, salsa, the bathroom. even the apology was weak. i even watched the guy at the next table sawing on his fajitas. started to go get my reciprocating saw and help him. next time im just gonna flush $30 bucks and drink a bottle of water. my first ever ever 1 star review and its well deserved. read more

Well I came back and everything was much better. The chili con queso and queso flameado were very good. The combo fajitas were good as well. Although, I definitely preferred the beef over the chicken. Wonderful service!! I will be returning soon read more

I use to really enjoy this restaurant but sadly every time I have gone here recently the service has been terrible. When we came in, the waitresses discussed for a couple of minutes where to sit us while we stood awkwardly waiting. Once they seated us, they gave us ours menus, took our drink orders, and left. We waited for about 10 mins but the waitress never brought our drinks, chips, or salsa. Eventually, we left without ever getting chips, salsa, drinks, or even ordering. Such a shame because they use to have decent food. read more

So I'm from San Antonio. The carne guesada taco is a shame here. Who the hell puts potatoes in a CARNE taco? So disappointed. I also ordered mines with cheese. And that sucked also. So I won't be back here. I rather just cook at home. read more

Simply the best service, tacos, nachos etc! Yum! We hit this place every time we are in town! read more

La Botana Mexican Restaurant - Huevos a la mexicana tacos with cheese (+ all the pepper I added)! So good! - Mexican Near Me - Bryan, Texas

My wife and I come here at least once every other week just for their migas and barbacoa tacos, their caldo de res, and their menudo. This place has hands down the best menudo in the BCS area. read more

So it's not the best Mexican food we had, but it will just have to do. I'm not sure if it's freshly cook, but my mom likes it. A lot of food, but didn't feel what I had or I don't think my daughter liked hers. The serves and people are very nice and sweet. The food was brought to us fast. Maybe I will get try it again another day when I'm in town. read more

Chunky tomatoes soup instead of salsa, extra fatty, dirt cheap beef in tacos, obviously American cheese in cheese enchiladas. Fast and cheap....that's it. read more

I got online to check to see if they have Margaritas. I'm not sure why so many bad reviews, we are amazed at the food we have gotten here, many times. The salsa is great, served warm. We've had the taco dinners, the enchilada plate, fajita quesadillas, and breakfast tacos! If you dine in, it's very clean and the decor is nice. The service has always been good. Give it a try! read more

We decide to try this place again after a long hiatus and it was a mistake going back. We got a menu and gave our drink orders but nothing ever came back... no drinks no chips/salsa, no waitress. We never ordered so that was a positive. We left after we waited for a long time. Won't go again. read more

By far my favorite breakfast tacos in town! I have only ever been through the drive thru but when I do (which is multiple times a week) the service is very quick and they are always friendly. I've only eaten breakfast here but I'd say it's worth It. Great tortillas read more

Went here twice for breakfast, two days in a row. Called in my order both days and each time I had to wait an additional 20-30 min for my to go order because no one ever put it in when I called. If you are wanting take out, I would go somewhere else. The tacos aren't good enough for a 45 min wait. read more

I can only rate this place based on their breakfast tacos. I come here quite a bit because their tacos are so cheap and good. The place looks a little run down but the family is so nice and for the price it's hard to beat. You can get 2 breakfast tacos for about $3. read more

I've not tried the breakfast but went for a late lunch early supper. The portion size for the price is good. I had the cheese enchiladas and my son had the beef fajita burrito. The homemade salsa was good and the chips were typical. The entrees, however, were mediocre, as others have stated. If one is budget conscious, this place may work. We both ate for $16 and there was a lot of food for that price. The taste was not bad but not good either. There was an odd taste to the rice and the beans were dried out and actually had formed a crust. The enchiladas were okay but not memorable. There certainly are better Tex-mex options in the area, but they cost more too. I gave three stars because for the price the food is acceptable. If you want exceptional, it will cost more. read more

Used a Mastercard throught he drive through that I rarely use for any restaurants or other mom and pop places (used here because they didnt take Amex), next day someone tried to use my card number to get gas in Miami Florida. read more

Great handmade food event jade made corn and flour tortillas. This place is inexpensive a one $

One of our favorite places to eat. The chicken fajitas are wonderful and a great bargain. Not such a fan of the beef, but the beef Northgate tacos are fantastic. Nice people. Only thing I would recommend is to double check your take-out order, because they tend to make errors with food to go, for some reason. On the whole, we love it. read more

I found La Botana to be pretty average. I tried a beef fajita taco and a carne asada gordita. The fajita meat tasted like foodservice pre-marinated/seasoned flank or skirt steak. If it had been flame-grilled I couldn't taste it. The meat was a bit too salty, bit not as bitter with papain and tenderizers, like some places. The carne asada was better, not being too salty, and was juicier. But it wasn't as lively as that at Taqueria Mexico. read more

Great breakfast tacos and the best spicy green sauce in town. Gets crowded in the mornings so we typically call ahead for breakfast tacos. Haven't tried their lunch meals. read more

Went for breakfast and ordered migas, when they brought the plate it was covered in cheese(which I have never tried like that) but tried it anyway and the corn tortilla was super soggy an their beans had no flavor.i only took two bites an didn't want anymore. Then I went the next day for breakfast tacos an went through the drive thru an there was no menu or working speaker so I drove up to the window an ordered a carne guisada taco with two other tacos and when I checked my taco it was not carne guisada it was just carne an potatoes.totally different from any other carne guisada I've ever had. I'm pretty sure I won't be coming back! read more
