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 :)

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.

My girlfriend and I didn't want entrees, so we visited Botanero. It's one vast room with a bar and…read morean array of tables. We were seated immediately and got a chance to review the menu. Then nothing happened. The few servers moved slowly and although they passed near our table on several occasions, none had the courtesy to even tell us, "Someone will be with you shortly" or something. Thankfully, the runner who seated us, (a kind and helpful gentlemen who got a separate tip) noticed and got Daniel to visit our table. My gin martini was excellent and the water was cold. We ordered several plates, which arrived rather quickly. The homemade hummus with the carrots and pickled onions was fantastic. We'd take creamy and delicious hummus like that any day. The deviled eggs were wonderful and came with an extra kick thanks to the jalapeno. Gnocchi with parmesan, carrots, and asparagus was creamy, comforting, and filling. The lamb over hummus, with their rich homemade gravy, rivaled any amazing lamb dish I had anywhere. The portions were phenomenal. I have been to places that give half as much with the same prices. The chef and kitchen staff are incredible. We'll definitely return to try new dishes but we hope the service is much improved.

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.

Other friend ordered the shredded chicken burrito & he said it was one of the best he's had- juicy chicken, just enough veg. The service is fantastic here. Very friendly and welcoming.

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).

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. The only reason why I gave them an extra star is because my Inca Kola ( one of my favs) . Could have been a regular for me but first impressions are everything and the food sucks !!!

Fatty, salty, and heavily seasoned (but not spicy) with a nice amount of meat. But the menus says it includes cheese then later says cheese cost extra. I will probably get it again, but call and ask them to make it spicy and add lime juice or limes on the side. The Gorditas were not as good. The shells were thin and not crisp. They were rather small. And one was busted open. The meat was just ok. The asada was slightly better than the chorizo and Cueritos. They did come with limes, cucumber, and radish slices. I will probably not get them again. All that said it was affordable and I would like to try more of their menus items (as well as a spicy birria ramen with lime) Nothing to say as far as ambiance (it's a food truck it got delivery from) food was prepared fast.

Whether its missing sides, missing toppings, or the queso portion sizes. Something is always wrong. For example, the 3-cheese queso nachos ($15).

There was BARELY any queso in it - maybe about a tablespoon? Very annoying to deal with as you always feel cheated somehow after continuing to give them your business.
