Always a favorite spot to eat when I'm in town . I would like one of everything on the menu please! The margaritas are the bomb! Very delicious! Try the watermelon one!
Puerco en salsa verde was great! Pico de gallo was really good! Big portions of everything. Glad I stopped in and will be back on next trip to Milwaukee!
Everything!!
My favorite Mexican Restaurant ! Excellent food. Excellent service . Strawberry margaritas are delicious & love dining outside on a nice & sunny day! :D
Quality plus quantity plus great atmosphere, but on top of all that, great staff
Of the handful of great mexican cuisine around the area, this is by far my favorite. I always seem to get the "poor tacos " marinated pork , cilantro , onion on flour tortilla .
Great Mexican food off the beaten path! If you are in Milwaukee you should definitely stop! Awesome service as well !
Great lunch specials . Favorite are the enchiladas . Be sure to get the chicken enchilada soup before the main course. And the margaritas are stellar.
Best moles in Milwaukee and a variety of Mexican dishes : tequila shrimp , steak machado, and fish tacos . Don't forget about the best margaritas in town either! Read more
Had the pastrami hash for a change and I really enjoyed it with two over medium eggs !
Great Owner who does what it takes to make your experience as great as can be. I have eaten there several times and my favorites is the Moles .
The huge chimmichangas are amazing. The mole poblano is among the best I've ever tasted.
The owner is amazing always there to greet cha and chat! Ask for Jaime and make sure you say "Hi". Oh...and tell him you want sweet corn tamales on the menu. Read more
Tacos Al Pastor here are literally the best I've had at any other restaurant . Traveled all over and can't find better!!
Great outdoor seating and super fast service . Try the watermelon margarita , is tastes just like a jolly rancher!
Angel is the BEST waiter there - but all the staff is good anyway - Tacos Barbacoa are my FAVORITE!!! (lighter on the onions would be nice)
Good food, good chips and salsa and good drinks.
Ask for Olivia to be your server; she's wonderful and knows what you want even before you know what you want ;D
The rainbow margarita was sooo good and the food was amazing!!
Mexican pizza is my favorite! Nice outdoor seating .
Go to Botana's for the excellent customer service. Your chips and salsa will never be empty! Great food and the owner and manager really know how to treat their customers and run a successful restaur Read more
Really good salsa , chips and guacamole . The main meal though didn't live up to the appetizers .
Big portions . Chicken mole is delicious

Say hi to Jaime and tell him victor ray sent you, you might get a free shot. Victor ray for alderman
Very potent drinks and good food!
Nephew got first taste of some authentic Mexican food and loved it.
The salsa is the best I've ever had! EVER!
Another great lunch today!!
Get the The vegetarian quesadilla for an appetizer ! It's so good!
Steak tacos and shrimp ceviche <3
Beware guacamole with your chips . $7?!? Also, now it's $1 for sour cream with a meal it used to come with.
U have to get u at least a half pitcher of rainbow margarita !!! My favorite!!!
Very vegan friendly mexican food they are great about "special requests" & the patio is HUGE!
Right by La Perla and 10 times better!!

Fish tacos with grilled veggies . Amazing!

Enchilada soup is a must!
Best rainbow margaritas !!
Guac and fajitas !
Best Mexican place in Milwaukee!!! Highly recommended
Strawberry and banana frozen margaritas !!!
The Oaxacan Tamales are so good...GET THEM!!!
I must say the tacos are scrumptious! The pork habanero and spicy pollo are exceptionally tasty! And on the $2 taco Tuesday and Thursday menu! Bonus!! - shannon thuecks
The ceviche was awesome, moles were great, in fact I've not had a bad meal there. The service is amazing and the ambience perfect. - Bob Piechocki
Great food and extremely inexpensive!! I love coming here for classic Mexican food. Paper plates, margaritas by the pitcher, and if you don't know you have to ASK for cheese on your tacos! - Stefani K
Great pub food. Cajun burger was cooked great and tasted great. The blackened chicken wrap tho is where it’s at- like really true blackened. Bills Backers bar- great Bills game crowds! - Steve Poland
Fun place to go and try to win some money or just have a night out with friends. Creative architecture and vibrant energy make it a worthwhile trip. Right across the bridge! - Dave Larmann
Happy hours rock. The DJs are good. They have drag shows too, which can be super lively. Bartenders are always cute. - Billie Hawkins
