Botero Tapas + Wine Bar

Stumbled onto Botera's soft opening for breakfast. The menu wasn't huge, but very unique with a Cuban flare. We ended up making breakfast tapas style. They have a manchego and chorizo omelette and a couple of different Cuban riffs on a skillet. They also have mimosas and their coffee is very respectable. All in all, I would recommend it!

We went wandering around Boerne and always park in the lot next to Botero. We always say, "we should go there." Well, we finally decided to try it out, and we're glad we did! I love the industrial vibe of the place. It was a rainy Saturday and the place wasn't particularly busy, so the service was good! Our server was friendly and knowledgable about the menu, and the food, while small in portion size (they are tapas, after all) was delicious. We started with the tostadas de chorizo and the house sangria. Both were super tasty. Then we ordered the chistorra (Spanish sausage) and pan con tomate, and finally we shared the albondiga...a giant meatball that was perfection. Can't wait to go back to Boerne and have some more Spanish goodness!

My wife surprised me on our trip to Boerne by bringing me to this small place off of the main drag. Ambiance is of a generic industrial sort with uncomfortable metal chairs and low lighting.Okay, that's the negative. The food here is absolutely divine, and the service is very attentive. Our waiter did a great job of making recommendations and checking on us.We got four tapas dishes: morcilla, buñuelos, bacalao, and the chuleton. All of these dishes were excellently prepared and tasted fantastic. We loved them. We wish to return and try the paella. Don't miss out on this great spot!

Decided to stop by & have a beer & tapas last Saturday. We were the only ones here until we were almost finished eating. Our friendly young male server suggested a new Portuguese beer that just came out. It comes in a 4-pack, 6.8 oz bottles with convenient pull-tabs & on a bucket of ice. We went for it! Not bitter, light bodied & easy to drink. We savored the ambiance in the outdoor patio as it FINALLY cooled down to the low 70s! We were given water in a carafe and 2 glasses. I'm sensitive to the taste of municipal tap water so I should've asked if it was filtered water? You'll have to ask for ice cubes if you want ice.Our tapas were the scallops ceviche tostadas(2 tortillas holding them) & a flatbread with Serrano jamon, sliced pears, melted brie, onions & drizzled balsamic glaze. Hubs liked it but I thought it was lukewarm & skimpy on the ham. The cheese wasn't gooey & cooled off. Was slightly gamey to me. He loved his scallop ceviche tostada.The restaurant wasn't very occupied but our server said it gets pretty packed in the evening esp. when there's live music. More people came in when we were almost finished eating.We ate outside because they must have just disinfected & mopped the floors because the inside had a super strong chemical smell. Lots of metal tables and chairs in the patio.

My parents have been coming here for a couple of years and now I finally know what all the fuss is about! First off, the Lavender Sangria was exceptional but be careful, I feel like two of them would've knocked me off my bar stool. The Patatas Bravas and Tostadas de Chorizo were excellent. I was truly blown away by the setas gallegas they were *chef's kiss*! We came in for a drink and a quick bite but I'd love to come back and explore the full menu! Based on the great service (thanks for answering our questions!), excellent drinks and delicious food, I doubt anything here disappoints and I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town!

It's been a long time since I've taken a moment to write a review, but today is a good one. My daughter and son-in law came for a quick weekend visit and before they left, we went to Botero for lunch. We enjoyed the lavender sangrias which were delicious. Not too strong of an alcohol taste and not too sweet as a lot sangrias can be. The waiter was very friendly and suggested a few of his personal favorites and we all had to agree, he knew what he was talking about. We tried so many, but I tried to take pictures of a few of what we had. We all agreed the chorizo tostadas were our favorite. Definitely go when it's nice out and enjoy the patio.

Wonderful place, absolutely have a sangria, I love the red but all are nice. The reataurant has a great atmosphere and is one of the best places in town. Food is tapas or small plates so a lot of fun with a group. I have had a wide variety and love it all.

First time trying it out finally. I live close by. I made a reservation for my friend and I but the reserved table was swished between two couples so we asked to move outside. It was gorgeous outside and the live music was amazing. We had several tapas. We shared an abondiga, empanadas, a tenderloin and ceviche. Unfortunately they had ran out of the lobster. It was all very tasty. A little pricey and I didn't get full. I think next time I'll go with the paella.

This is by far one of the worst meals I've had in recent years. We got to the restaurant at around 6:20 and they closed at 7pm and we knew it so we planned on leaving on time. We ordered our drinks, water and a lavender sangria and the sangria tasted like pure lavender, nothing else, I expected it to taste like lavender of course but it was a very strong lavender flavor and kind of bitter. Not good. I asked the server about the empanadas and she advised they were mushrooms and cheese flavored. When our empanadas came out they were meat and potatoes, I don't eat meat. My husband had the buñuelos de bacalao and said they tasted frozen and popped in the microwave. We ordered the potatoes, las bravas, flavorless and hard. We replaced the empanadas with setas gallegas which is mushrooms and goat cheese and that was the best dish, it was a pretty big serving and it came with two tiny toasts. I also ordered the tortilla española and it also looked like it was popped in the microwave. Flavorless, the potatoes were huge and hard. Served with 3 bruschettas, the bruschetta was better than the actual tortilla. My husband really enjoyed his chuletón angus, he gave his meal a 6/10 and I gave mine a 5/10. Also when we were ordering we were reminded the kitchen was closing soon and to make our selection quickly. A few minutes before 7 the server came to the table and we asked for the check and she said yes we do close at 7 and we told her we knew and would be leaving before then. I didn't find this place to be inviting and the food was pretty mediocre. This was not our first time eating tapas so we were expecting much better food.

Nice music and atmosphere. Did not have several of the drinks advertised on the menu (Cava, Sparkling wine). The metal stools and chairs are so uncomfortable...we tried both. Ended up leaving.
