This is a homey place that does not look like much from the front (the weeks' old piles of snow in…read morethe street wasn't their fault), but the food was excellent. I ordered carryout, including a pulled chicken Gordita, a pulled goat meat Gordita for the same amount, some chicken tacos (soft flour shell with white meat grilled, chopped chicken topped with very little), and the Tacos Dorados (fried tacos stuffed with shredded chicken and topped with green salsa and cheese). Pictures are from when I got home with my food. Needless to say, for $32 or so (which includes a 20% tip), I had enough food for 3 meals. The Gorditas, while not necessarily healthy, definitely fill you up. The Tacos Dorados were very good for a late night, post drinking (water, of course!), dinner, and the chicken tacos were excellent for a next-day lunch. Accompanying my food were two different sauces -- a red sauce that did not have much flavor, but was scorching hot on the palette and a green sauce that was very tasty and moderate in heat. Overall, an outstanding choice for authentic Mexican food that was very, very good.

It felt very cozy , the walls are painted blue and has white square tiles on the floor, plus the beauty of the Mexican flag hung up on the walls for all to see. The employee was kind, and pickup was quick. I ordered two sopes of grilled chicken topped with a small slice of avocado & tomato, shredded lettuce & cheese (I asked for no sour cream) and they sure packed it up on that crispy thick tortilla! It was very filling and delicious & it comes with two spicy sauces (1 Green 1 Orange) on the side. This place left a great impression on me. ***on a side note, they have a taco Tuesday deal, 3 tacos for $10 :)

I tried the salmon with quinoa and it was one of the best combinations I've ever had. Also, the crap dip was really good. Recommended if you would like to try new flavors but be mindful of the portions since they could be small depending on what you order.

I visited Botanero for a Saturday morning brunch. While the overall ambiance of the restaurant is…read morelight and airy, the tables are somewhat cramped together, so know that you won't have an abundance of elbow room. That aside, the staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful, and I loved the bossa nova covers of 90s songs playing in the background. I ordered the ham & bacon omelette, which was very good and fresh. It's essentially filling (virginia ham, bacon, arugula, red pepper, caramelized onion and white cheddar) wrapped in a thin layer of scrambled egg, which I was very happy with. The omelette was served with a side of home fried potatoes that were seasoned perfectly. I will definitely visit again in the future.

They have a nice private back room for private events or their comedy shows. The main restaurant has a nice bar area and TV's for football or whatever sport. I always got the same thing, the enchiladas. Food is solid. Prices are reasonable here, which was a nice change in the 2020's. What I realized in 2024 was the enchiladas and plates are kind of on the smaller side. When I think of sit-down Mexican restaurants, I think of hearty meals, but this wasn't so hearty. I was hungry several hours later that night in 2024. In January 2025, I was here for a friend's birthday party and remembered that the portions are smaller than typical Mexican restaurants, so I added a bean pupusa to my enchilada plate, which was excellent, even better than the enchiladas, which are solid. It was a little chaotic with the number of people there, and the awkward table setup. It would've been better having that backroom, but there was a comedy show or something happening that night in there, so we made do with the long high tables put together in the middle of the restaurant. Service has always been good here overall in terms of friendliness, but a couple of times when things ran a bit slow. Also, beer pitchers were cheap too. I remember the couple of events where people split including at the January 2025, my friend's brother & his wife split beer with me. Overall, it's a good local business in the area. In spite of a few flaws, mostly good & would return again in the future.

There were about two tables occupied so I didn't understand why the tacos took as long as they did. The employees were really nice and apologetic for the wait. I tried them as soon as we got home, which was shortly after, and they were already really cold. Although I'm a cheese lover, these were just too much for me. The cheese was an overkill and took away from the actual steak. I instantly got nauseous and couldn't enjoy them.

The food is fresh and they have a complementary salsa bar. I ordered the Baja burrito with chicken. It was humongous and was easily more than 1 meal. The tortilla was toasted on the outside and filled with pico de gallo (fresh tomatoes, cilantro and onions), shredded lettuce, cheese and guacamole (no extra charge for the guacamole). The chicken was char grilled chicken breast chunks and made the the majority of the burrito, nicely cooked. What I liked was that it wasn't sauce laden and soggy, nor did the contents leak out. The meal came with a small order of warm tortilla chips. The salsa verde from the salsa bar went well with the chips and the burrito (was medium spice).

Wanted to give an update to this. I got a $5 off to use as they hadn't seen me in a while. I…read morereally like Baja Fresh, but the one near me in Hanover, MD closed, so now Rockville is the closest location about 23 miles the most direct way from my home. I think Baja Fresh does an excellent job on how they make the tortillas. So, the best things to get here are the burrito and quesadilla. I got the chicken quesadilla for lunch yesterday as I didn't want to overeat as I was going to a dinner event that night although it was still a bit more filling than I thought with the chips & salsa included too along with the guacamole & sour cream that comes with the quesadilla. So, why a 3-star review here (& not 4 or 5)? When I walked in a little before 1 PM, it was very hot in there. It was a hot summer day, and the AC should've been going. I didn't say anything at first as I was trying to get the order in and get my $5 off deal to go through. Then, I was focused on getting my water, salsa, etc. I got my chicken quesadilla and started to eat, but I was uncomfortable & angry about the heat in there. I got up and told the cashier (who was nice) it's very hot in here, and this is completely unacceptable. She apologized, and she got another staff member to unlock the thermostat to turn on AC. Afterward, I looked, and it was 85 F inside. Towards the end of my meal, it was starting to feel a bit of cool air, but still hot in there. While I appreciate, they were quick to act to turn on the AC. I question why was the AC off for the 1st 2.5 hours of the day they were open?! It wasn't because the AC wasn't working. There was another customer eating in there who didn't speak up about it. But even for the people taking the food to go, still had to wait in the heat in there. Other positives: The cashier was nice and offered me the courtesy cup of water without me asking. I had my own reusable water bottle as well. So, that was much appreciated on her part. Conclusion: So, the lack of AC (when working too) pissed me off, was totally unacceptable, but at least they acted quickly to turn on. This could've been a health issue especially for sensitive groups. However, considering the food was great & cashier was very nice, and also, I didn't want to give a 2-star as I don't want the Rockville location to close too (after Hanover closed). Only 2 in MD (not counting hospital location) Rockville & Timonium and 1 in Fairfax, VA. Rockville is the only one there's a small chance I'd make to it, so I want them to stay open.

I placed my order over the phone immediately received two star service from the woman I was speaking to. She barely understood what I was ordering. My total came to $13 and some change so I asked if the pupusas were $1.50( I was skeptical about the total) as stated on the menu on yelp, the women said no there $2( that annoyed me) . Walked in and wasn't greeted at the register. I tried to explain to them they needed to update the menus online and the woman that was more fluent in English said the "people" won't update it (whatever that means) and the pupusas been two dollars for a couples of years now. I don't have a problem with paying extra .50 cents I just don't like misleading specials. Any who so I pay and leave and as I am walking back to my job I realized they never gave me my receipt ( hate when places do that) . So finally I get back to my job sit down and open my platter 5 pupusas stacked on top of each other. 4 words for you NEVER EATING THERE AGAIN. I swear they only put beans in there . I don't even taste the beef. Every few bites I can taste the cheese. No special seasoning or anything they taste gross . It mostly tastes like plain rice flour.
