Our Guestbook
“ The wife and I have been stopping at this restaurant for 23 years now, usually after stopping by the flea market. La Botana is a tradition for us, why? Because of course, the food is amazing! The service is awesome! La Botana is always worth the drive from Longmont! ”
“ Very friendly staff. Food is always delicious. My daughter loves the salmon salad especially. It's full of fresh greens, citrus, avacado, asparagus, and of course salmon. I've never had a bad experience here. ”
“ This is one of our best Mexican places to eat at the north side of town. The services is a 10. The food is always hot and made to order and they have pretty much everything and if they don't have what you want on the menu, they'll make it. They've remodeled the place in the last couple years and it's updated and has a nice atmosphere compared to a lot of places and there's decent parking out front. The menu is fairly exhaustive with lots of combinations and great seafood and free chips and salsa. It's hard to go wrong with anything you order there but unlike a lot of little Mexican restaurants that are family owned this one has some real character and great atmosphere. ”

“ Breaking bread with my brothers can change any dining experience. We arrived just in time for no wait. The employees were very polite and professional. The atmosphere was very pleasant, allowing for great fellowship. I will go back whenever possible. ”
“ Welcoming environment- When we arrived there was an employee on break, he kindly greeted us as we walked in. Then as soon as we got in, we were acknowledged and able to sit down. Loved the decor inside and you can see the staff takes pride in this establishment and keeps it very clean. We got our food and drinks and were checked on throughout our meal. Empty glasses offered to be refilled right away. Food came hot and fresh and was delicious. I would recommend to friends and family and will happily come back in. ”
“ I absolutely love this place. Came for a drink after a basketball tournament, the staff was as friendly as you can get. Very efficient but not rushed at all. Shared the fajitas with my wife, very tasty. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. ”
