La Botana Grill

Have to give another five star review to Cookie!This is my favorite place in Harlingen!The specials are wonderful. My boys beg me to go just to order their bacon wrapped jalapeños.I love her cha cha plate. Picadillo with Mexican taco toppings on the top. Mild red salsa on the side. Just delish. Low carb...great taste.My hubby always gets the specials. Free tea!We enjoy watching the games on the screens on weekends.Our work lunch bunch loves it weekdays, too. Everyone loves Cookie.So convenient to everything...right across from Harlingen Walmart. In the midst of the Harlingen central shopping area.Love her interior. Beautiful decor. High ceilings. Lovely accent wall. Both booths and tables. Always clean.Staff has always been super friendly.It's a shame I can't give it ten stars!

I cannot recommend La Botana more!!! I ate at the restaurant, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. I was even able to add a chili toreado as a side (which isn't on the menu). I don't understand why everyone is so upset with their food, of course your delivery order will probably be cold..... Most of their employees seem to be very fluent in English, AND Spanish. I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. Every time a server walked by, they asked if everything was 'ok,' Even the server in training did an impeccable job. Delicious authentic food. My Asada was SO great, I cleared the entire plate. The only thing I could criticize, is they could add a little bit of extra rice and beans along with your meal. Other than that, I'll definitely be recommending this to my other colleagues. I can't wait to come back!

Bad service, no utensils for take out really?!?, the food was disgusting, french fries that were prob fried twice, the rice was from early lunch or some other day and the fish was salty and overly seasoned and cocked, employees were unwelcoming, I understand that we came 40 min before closing, but at least try to make some coins bro, no customer service skills, no tip, I hope this small business get their employees up to standards, or all these franchise companies will take over and bye byes small business.

I came to this place because my parents invited me and that will probably be the only time I ever come, because it's their treat. While the fajita parrillada for two was OK the rest of our food was just mediocre. The enchiladas are small and nothing special, and if you order corn tortillas be aware that they are very small. I did enjoy the chips and salsa at least. For what it is worth, this place is pretty cheap, which is why the rating isn't in the negatives. You are getting what you pay for, so if you need a cheap spot to eat and can bare with OK food then this may be a worthy spot for a cheap meal.

The building is old, but everything was clean. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food was hot and excellent and the price was outstanding. I had the roasted chicken dinner. They had Covid symptoms questions posted on the door. They also only had four open tables out of 10 for social distancing. When I was there there was a family all the way on the other side of the restaurant. Everyone wore masks. They also offered take out and delivery.

The food was good but not all that. I ordered crispy tacos and they were American style and the lemonade was not all that either. I won't be going back.

Are you looking for an Authentic Mexican restaurant? Well look no further. This place is off the charts Amazingly Delicious and has you feeling wonderful. Spacious High Ceilings and Perfectly Cooked Mexican Food. Excellent Salsas and the Best Coffee in town. Thank you Cookie and Staff for such a Delightful Experience every single time. A+
