My favorite restaurant to go to! Bere is so sweet and attentive. She feels just like a family member when she talks to you. Give her a raise!! Best food/drinks/staff 10/10 recommend. <3

Excellent food and service. I’m so excited to finally see this new location. We had our traditional family meal with carne and shrimp. I’m still humming with delight.

Thank you Camila you were awesome and the food was delicious. I meet you Friday 6/20/25 sitting at bar with my husband. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Food and service was excellent.

Leída was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing. The food, service and ambiance were absolutely wonderful. The food was authentic and the margaritas well served. If you want a nice chill atmosphere this is the place to be 😎

La Botana is a Tucson must, and the heart of it is Camila, the absolute sunshine behind the bar. She’s sweet, quick, and makes you feel instantly at home. Her margaritas? Perfection, and even better 2-for-1!. Her Mexican Moscow Mule? Fizzy, fresh, and dangerously good.
We started with the toritos gueritos; spicy yellow peppers stuffed with shrimp, queso blanco, poblano, and red onion, all wrapped in crispy bacon and topped with their dreamy house sauce. So indulgent, so worth it.
The real showstopper was the parrillada cielo-mar-tierra: tender carne asada, juicy adobada chicken, and garlic butter shrimp that melt in your mouth. Served sizzling and full of bold flavor, every bite was 🔥.
The place is spotless, nicely decorated, and the A/C is cold. Camila kept the good vibes flowing all night and even tipped us off to their weekday happy hour and rotating Mexican beer specials and beer bucket specials.
Stop by and try this Tucson gem, sit at the bar, and let Camila work her magic. 💫🌮

This is la botanas new location and I really like it. It's a lot nicer it's cleaner there's more room. There's plenty of parking and the parking lot is clean as well. You walk in and it's basically a big room but they also have a really nice patio you can sit out when it's nice weather outside. The prices are good the food is pretty good and the drinks are good they have the two margaritas for the price of one. They're pretty big so two should do the trick. We ordered the video tacos and they were really good the salsas are all good they have a selection of different salsas at the salsa bar which is nice gives you something to do. We had a few drinks and the atmosphere was really nice and I would recommend this place. They have plenty of parking they have plenty of handicap parking the restrooms are nice and clean and big. We ordered our food and the place was about half busy and the food came out at a reasonable time I can't complain about that.
Dietary restrictions: They have vegetarian options
Parking: Parking lot is well lit and visible.
Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't bring kids here. There will be drunk people.
If your looking for a bar that serves mexican food you could do worse. The food was good, but a little pricey and they bring you one small basket of chips complementary after that you pay 3 dollars for more. My feeling is if your dropping 40 dollars for two meals the chips should be bottomless like every mexican restraunt we have ever dined at. Im from texas and this was our first time here.

Had a bad dining experience here. Ordered tacos and a burrito. Watched the table and bar group sat the same time as us get their food and waited … and waited. Tacos took 30 minutes, the wrong burrito arrived 5 minutes later—they realized this right away and took it off the table and came back with the right one another 10-15 minutes later. Yep nearly an hour for a burrito. The other tables had left before we got it. The server did nothing to make it right, she was very nice but said “sorry about that, I hope you’ll give us a chance again.”I felt like a sucker for not saying anything so here I am leaving a bad review, which I don’t like doing. The food is good… I think? This kind of experience leaves a bad taste.
