La Botana Tacos

So I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, I just hadn't gotten around to it, and now I'm like ohmygawd I'm dumb I should have went.I didn't know what kind of vibes to expect but it was super chill and cute decor ANDDD it had my favorite thing- a big fat salsa bar.I got the toritos tacos, yummmm I was so happy they served those. My friends got mini chimis and carne asada fries which I obviously stole some of and they were tastyyy.My friend who got the mini chimis is the least adventurous eater ever, like chicky nuggy and French fry diet, and she loved them.

Great atmosphere, good music and outdoor seating. Food was delicious fresh guacamole and mini chimis Cold beer of course and excellent service. Celebrating a birthday? The cutest celebration ever, servers come out with Mexican sombreros, maracas and a piñata!!!

We are from the Phoenix area and found this place from Instagram. We came here after the U of A game and boy was it worth it. I didn't know what to expect but was amazingly surprised. First off, when you sit down they greet you with bean dip and chips!! And then ask you to head over to their salsa bar with at least 7 or so different types of salsas. And they were ALL good!!! I ordered the Sonoran steak tacos, 2 in the order and they were the most delicious tacos ever. The meat so was tender and so flavorful. Just perfect!! My husband order 2 Sonoran tacos as well as 2 Barbacoa tacos. Wow!! Talk about flavors. These tacos were so good. Definitely recommend this place. For the price, I would definitely recommend it. You will not be disappointed. The staff was great and the new place is beautiful. Please give them a go!! The new place is on Wetmore Rd.

Arrived at 6pm On a Friday night- arghh...just missed Happy Hour, but still enjoyed a $3.50 beer of the week and $6 Modelo Negra draft. The poblano burrito was delicious and filling! Partner's Taco Trio with his choices of 3 different proteins were all really different from each other, which is unusual. So often restaurants just switch the meat and use the same condiments- not La Botana. Definitely we will return- stay tuned for uodates!

Our server was super friendly and attentive, she checked on us many times when we were seated on the patio. We loved that the patio was dog friendly so my cocker spaniel could eat with us! Our margaritas were good - not the best I've ever had but the novelty of 32 oz of margarita on a Saturday at 5 pm was fun! Our tacos were very good - the chicken itself in the tacos was fabulous. I wish the shells of the crispy tacos were crispy, but the crispy came from the cheese. All and all it was a good meal and good service and worth stopping by for a quick meal in Tucson!

I used to love this place in its old location on first(near the boondocks) and their giant margaritas. But I love the new location on Wetmore even more!!! Had a delightful lunch experience today! The giant two for one drinks are still around and do not disappoint! Food was delicious, definitely get those stuffed peppers! Excellent service! Loved the brightly painted interior throughout and the mural near the bar. It looks like they still have a good patio to use as well, clean bathrooms, plenty of parking.. definitely an upgrade from before. Definitely will be back!

This place has become a staple in our hearts when visiting Tucson and the new location and wonderful patio are a great addition to La Botana. Great food and drinks and some of the best happy hour menus in the area.

Bombzeeeeee. So good. My food isn't pictured but I had ordered some chicken chimis and birria tacos along with guacamole and it was sooooo good. The margarita is so big too, I recommend sharing it with another. Service always treats us right, attentive and friendly. Checking up on us and making sure we're alright. Very much appreciated. I like this location a lot better and the interior design and layout of the place. The artwork they have goes well with the style. Can't wait to come back

DELICIOUS FOOD! AMAZING SERVICE!Atmosphere of the restaurant was exciting and comforting. New modern Mexican vibe with traditional selection of food and drinks. Love the staff! -- they were all welcoming and friendly. Ordered birria tacos, beef mini chimis, and toritos gueritos. Every bite was delicious!! Love their salsas, sauces, and bean dip!Location is mid-town. Worth the drive for good Mexican food and service. I truly love what they did to the place. Vibrant, fun, and lots of energy going around! If you haven't tried this restaurant, you are not doing it right.

We went to La Botana Tacos at their very last night at the location on 1st as the staff informed us they were moving a couple of miles North to a location just off 1st at Wetmore starting in a week.We came for their infamous happy hour which has half priced drinks and appetizer faves. We had the Guac and Chips, Mini Chimi's and Carne Asada fries with beef. We sat outside which was rather noisy with the street traffic but we had wonderful friendly servers and delicious food and drink.We had Prickly Pear Margaritas and Strawberry Mango Margaritas along with the shared appetizers mentioned above. All were great tasting and authentic.Overall, this place seems well-loved as there was a steady stream of people coming and going. Now we need to try the newer (quieter?) location next time in town.
