Short rib noodles were amazing!!! Challah French toast with chicken was mediocre.

What an amazing place! From the great Happy Hour cocktails & appies, to the interesting bento box & yummy short ribs noodles, Botika does not disappoint! Wonderful experience. We'll be back.
Empanadas are good. The rolls use way too much sauce and lime. Beware, rolls use a ton of nori so if you love nori and can't get enough of it then this is the place. Otherwise, yuck. It's way overpriced for the quality. The food flavors are clunky and not well balanced. Service is excellent.

Great food and service the ambiance is always good here. Our server Stephanie was friendly and funny and she gave us great recommendations for both food and cocktails . She basically had the bartender surprise us and the drinks where really good not watered down.

I really wanted to like this place. The service was okay but the food was just not it. The drinsk were also subpar. The octopus was not cooked per usual. The noodles were so salty. I wouldn't recommend this place. There are so many other less expensive better food options in san antonio.

I did a Dining in the Dark experience there. The food was delicious and the alcohol pairings were perfect. Chef came and explained every item on menu.
Pretty good for an upper class dining establishment and reasonably priced!

I have not been back to Botika for some time. The menu is drastically changed from the original - it is mostly sushi with a minimum of the original Peruvian offerings in existence. What once was an exciting array of unusual choices has become a very pedestrian list of dishes that are easily found in many restaurants. There was so little on the menu that seemed particularly intriguing as I had found on previous visits, and my guests were at a loss to find anything that appealed, so we limited our choices. We ordered the Hamachi Tiradito which was ok, but the fish was in large chunks and served in a bowl so large that it made the serving look like it was shortchanged. The vegetable roll was limp. The Japanese Golden Curry with chicken was over salted and luke warm. The one success was the spicy tuna roll. I was also surprised to find how empty the restaurant was considering it used to be packed with diners and people enjoying the bar. It might have just been the night we were there, but other restaurants in the complex seem to have larger numbers of guests. On the bright side, the waiter was enthusiastically welcoming, and well versed in the descriptions of the items on the menu.

Great sushi place! I definitely was overwhelmed with the menu at first; I found most of the dishes to be unfamiliar. Some of the was probably just my own ignorance and some of that was probably the “fusion” style. Loved my tricolor sushi roll! Would come back. Want to try the tequenos!

Great food. Fresh, well presented, and bursting with delicious flavors. Fun vibe has been created with the edgy decor and upbeat music. Good prices for this area of town.
