We had such a great experience at Botanas! The food was amazing — we tried the burritos, chimichangas, enchiladas, and vegetarian tacos. Everything was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. 🌯🌮🥗 Our server Angel was awesome — super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. His service was really good! Definitely ask for Angel when you go, he’s the best! Highly recommend Botanas for delicious Mexican food and great vibes! 🇲🇽✨

This has been on our list for a while now. Sooo glad we made it, only regret is that it hadn't been sooner. I couldn't decide on what to try so,I got the Botana plate appetizer with an order of rice and beans to make it a meal. The platter came with nachos, firecrackers, chicken chimi and chicken and cheese chimi, cheese quesadilla. Everything was fantastic. The beans were so good. Thete are a few places where the beans stand out, and this is definitely one of them....and the margarita was top notch, flavorful and no heartburn. A big thank you to the staff on duty, great service. A wonderful place, we'll be back.

From the outside it’s a very nice place, but I have a different opinion on the inside. It was very dirty and gross. The bathroom needed to be cleaned desperately, the doors didn’t work in 2 of the stalls. The locks were broken. The food was extremely flavorless and gross, I got enchiladas and they had what tasted like gravy on them. The chicken was dry and white as can be with no seasonings. I would not recommend this place to anyone. They also had the parking lot blocked off while we were there.

Very popular 🇲🇽 Mayan restaurant on the near south side. Huge court yard for a pleasant outdoor dining experience. The place accomodates all sizes of parties from smaller to company-sized. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with murals of the lush jungles of Meso-America, too Mayan art to a shrimp cocktail. The plates are big, rice and 🫘 🍛 are staples and the food, good and served quickly. You receive a lot of food for the price.

We drove in from Chicago headed to Fargo. Best choice I made! Amazing food, decent prices and outstanding service! Lefty was our server and she gave us a motherly vibe which is always welcomed! I loved the combination plates also you to enjoy different dishes at one time. I absolutely loved everything: the rice, the beans , the chunky beef chimichanga and chicken enchilada accompanied by a shrimp taco made my experience absolutely phenomenal, I’m not sure I will be able to eat anywhere else! Thank you for an awesome dinner experience.
