Once a beloved destination for seafood lovers, this restaurant now presents a bewildering mix of experiences, ranging from terrible service to standout dishes. Reports of unwelcoming attitudes, particularly towards women, mar the dining atmosphere, while service issues have garnered frustration across the board. Food quality fluctuates, with highlights like the fresota ceviche and micheladas contrasting sharply with complaints about saltiness and shrinking portions. Despite the energetic ambiance, with live music and a lively crowd, many patrons are reconsidering their loyalty, leaving it uncertain whether this once-thriving spot can reclaim its former glory.

Great service, food was amazing, micheladas even better! Loved the atmosphere on a Friday evening and will definitely be back soon. My favorite was the ceviche. We celebrated a birthday and received a birthday shot celebration. Muy rico todo y recomendado. View all feedback.

What Alejandra Davila dislikes about La Botana:
I used to love this restaurant for their seafood, but today's service was terrible. I have never felt discriminated against for being a woman before! The waitresses were extremely rude and refused to serve me unless a man was at the table. This behavior is incredibly sad and disrespectful. This was the worst service I have ever received and I will not be returning. Ladies, beware - make sure to bring a man with you o... View all feedback.

The mango margarita lacked flavor and was watered down, while the fresota ceviche was fantastic! I was pleasantly surprised by how well fruit paired with seafood. Despite being part of a large party spanning around 10 tables, there were issues with the timing of our food. My daughter was given the wrong plate, causing the kids to wait longer and eat last, as the kitchen was preparing to close. This experience taught me a new dish to make at home, but I would not choose to spend money at a place that was not kid-friendly. The standout vegetarian option was the fresota ceviche.

This was the worst service I have ever received and I will not be returning. Ladies, beware - make sure to bring a man with you or you may not get served. This was truly the worst dining experience of my life.

What happened to this place? It used to be so good... Service sucked-our server was at least nicer than the bartender, food was too salty and the portions have totally gone down. The restaurant looks like it needs to be redone- the seats on the booths are about to rip open. Once the food was brought to us, we weren't even asked if we needed anything else... NEVER COMING BACK... save your money , it wasn't worth the $70 we spent here

The worst service EVER!!!!!!! After 1:20 minutes our food was not served. It’s was 2 tostadas and 1 aguachile, like come on!!! We cancelled our food. Everyone that came after us ate and it seemed they just forgot about our order, they are not organized at All!!! Waitress didn’t even seemed to check up on our order, she kept passing by our table and saw that we have not eaten, so to me they just didn’t care!!! Never coming again and not recommending it at all.
