Editorial Review for Botanitas Mexican Restaurant – by Dirk Sonniksen

In Short
Past the strip mall exterior is a vibrant place decorated with the flavor of Old Mexico; colorful rugs and large Aztec murals lining the walls. A treasure trove of memorabilia keeps the eye busy while taking in the fresh smells. Evita's has six famous salsas and hot tortilla chips. El Rey combos feature enchiladas, crispy tacos and tamales. The mole puebla is two enchiladas made with ancho, cascabel chilies, peanuts and chocolate.

User Reviews for Botanitas Mexican Restaurant

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

We decided to try this place after reading the reviews. We liked the atmosphere and the salsas, but that;s it. The queso tasted like the nacho sauce you get at the movie theater and thechicken fajitas were made with cheap meat - chewy and gross. We paid the same as we would at better places - so we were not impressed and will not go back.

Pros: Ambience, salsa

Cons: food, prices

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

In the shopping strip in between the sushi bar and kartie kids place stands the most best mexican restuarant you can imagen. The place is outstanding. With 6 different salas 1. Cilantro 2. Verde 3. Roasted peppers 4. Chipole/red 5. Blk Bean 6. Escarvichi veggies.Yumm! You might wanna ask for a water because it will come in handy! Everything is wonderful, there is so much to choose from on the menu. Their Chill Reno with pork and chipole sause on the bottom to make it the right touch is justt great! Along with Lime Cilantro Rice and Borracho beans! Over all this place is to good to be missed check it out!
