Botanas Restaurant Restaurant Review

The restaurant prides itself on serving Mexican food that lies outside the well-worn path, including margaritas, of which there are a dozen or so options, including a rainbow variety. Food specialties hail from chef Jaime Gonzalez’s family and homeland of Guadalajara. You may opt to start with the firecrackers---six roasted jalapeño peppers stuffed with Chihuahua cheese and meat.

Very rude flambuant host/hostess, long wait to place order, rude inattentive waitress, food was nothing spectacular, margaritas where like drinking kool aid and way too pricey, atmosphere was crowed and extremely loud. Terrible experience. Waste of time and money.

Stands out in a neighborhood known for Mexican food

Generous servings at lunch -- under $10. Wonderful enchilada soup comes with the lunch specials. I always get an order of their salsa to go because it is the best in Milwaukee.
