La Botana Mexican Restaurant

COME FOR THE TACOS. Seriously. That is the whole review. The tacos here are a little cheaper than most places and somehow way better than they have any right to be. I went with three kinds because I respect myself. Barbacoa, bacon, egg / vegetarian. Every single one was good but let us not kid ourselves. Barbacoa is king and it remains undefeated. Always. My wife ordered the sour cream enchiladas and was clearly very happy with her life choices. My kids went full breakfast mode with pancakes, eggs, sausage and bacon. The bacon was a bit overcooked so next time I may ask them to stop just short of turning it into charcoal. Service was excellent. They checked on us often and brought anything we needed without us having to do that awkward looking around thing. The inside is a little worn d

Not my best experience with Mexican food. The food was just okay, but not delicious. The meat lacked flavor and didn’t taste very fresh. The worst part was the service—really bad! The waitress barely attended to us, had no charm, and was extremely slow. After bringing our dishes, she never returned to check on us, and we had to go to the cashier just to ask for to-go boxes. The place itself looks old, dirty, and poorly lit. I definitely won’t be coming back.

Dine here at least once to twice a week for breakfast and/or dinner and it's never disappointing but today we decided to have an early dinner around 3:30, service was horrible and food was worse. I had 2 beef fajita tacos and one chicharron taco and the tortillas just crumbled like they were old and the beef fajita was dry and burned to a crisp, complained to a waitress that was not our waiter because we had not seen him thru the duration of our meal for refills or to check on us and she said I will let the cook know and that was it. Prior to receiving our meal we had to find out waiter to request more chips for our queso and a refill. There was only one other person dining inside so they were not busy. Usually not disappointed there but today was a waste of $50 for mine and my family'

This place is a hidden jewel in Bryan. They have great Mexican and Tex-Mex food. They serve breakfast all day. I have attached photos of the current menu as of June 2025.

I have been eating lunch here once a week for several years. The service has always been marginal. Today I walked in behind two gentlemen and in front of another gentleman. Our orders were taken within a few minutes of each other by separate people. The gentleman behind me received his food first and two in front of me received their food next. Both tables were finished eating when my food was delivered. I ordered the lunch special and I could see both other tables ordered off the menu. I asked the waitress why it took 30 minutes for my food to be served and was told " I don't know" I brought attention to the other two tables being finished eating by the time my food arrived. once again "I don't know" My food was cold like it had been sitting and not brought to the table.
