Was Yvonne Keller at Boca Botanas Tapas a mag?
Calamari is very different than Italian style, deep fried with coconut. Scallops is normal, but the potato salad underneath is amazing! Very tasty. They have happy hours. View all feedback.

What Daniel Whodat dislikes about Boca Botanas Tapas:
So the food was good, kind of tapas style small portions and whatnot which is fine. Service was ok, they were nice and gave a complimentary birthday shot to the birthday girl. Everything was pretty great until the check came. So our bill was something like 225ish$ and of course there?s a automatic gratuity added with a larger party. (We didn?t split the check either) The problem was it wasn?t 20% .. it was 35% plus s... View all feedback.

We had outstanding service and food. Our waiter was Cameron, and he recommended some really great dishes that we could have overlooked. The classic ceviche was perfectly executed. The Churrasco was also as a standing, perfectly cooked. The crispy brussels sprouts had a little bit of heat, but not too too much. I’d definitely go back! Service: Dine in

My daughter took me there tonight pre Mother’s Day. I have been trying to get there for a year. Food was excellent. Love everything. Tthe salmon over coconut rice needed some flavor, me been puertorican we add sason on everything. Our server/waitress Ashley was awesome. Very pleasant, carismatic. Great environment. The vegan food was delicious. Great place to be with friends. Will go again and already recommended to my friends.

Amazing and delicious Vegetarian food ???? The Manager Mr. John was so very kind, courteous and professional a big shout and kudos to his Hospitality. He suggested a few things we could order to suit our dietary needs and for that we greatlyappreciate. Definitely a place to try out. Believe me you would be very happy trying out by visiting this cozy place. We justtried out last evening and a planning to go visit again with a larger party of friends. Thank you Mr. Johnny for your warmhospitality and delicious food.

Oh my. There’s no good way to put this…the food was simply God awful. I rarely write one star reviews but felt this warranted a post because we were caught off guard by the high ratings of this place. Maybe it was an off night but no one at ourtable enjoyed their food or drinks. Aesthetic: tucked away in a random strip mall amongst a Boost Mobile and Planet Fitness,this place isn’t much to look at from the outside. It’s also quite small on the inside and much more casual than I expected.Definitely felt like a low key Tex Mex chips and salsa type of place. I was expecting a nicer environment given the reviews andprice point of the food. Food: we got several different tapa and everything was mediocre to terrible. Bland, soggy, way overcooked you name it. Nothing was good. A few of the things we ordered were: the Chorizo Tacos, Chicken Empanadas, PulledChicken Tostones, Elote Locos Nachos, Churrasco, Bacon Wrapped Dates, and two different soups. Everything with chicken wasincredibly dry, bland, and awful. My brother in law’s churrasco steak that was supposed to be medium rare was completely welldone. The bacon wrapped dates (the only item I managed to grab a pic of) were really tiny and completely burned. The menu statesthey’re thick center cut pieces of bacon but it was the saddest bacon I’ve ever seen. The chorizo tacos, at $5/ea were verysmall and had an odd taste that I’ve never encountered with chorizo. Basically, the food quality was that of an Applebees anddid not warrant the high price tag. We also got a carafe of red sangria that, if you would’ve told me was straight juice, Iwould’ve believed it. Not an ounce of alcohol in it. Service: our waitress was very friendly so at least they had that goingon. It took a bit for her to greet our table as I watched her fix her lipstick at the bar but regardless, she was nice. Wearen’t “send the food back” type people so we did not give the restaurant a chance to correct any of the issues althoughmy br
