When driving through Tucson, it's impossible to miss this vibrant, eye-catching building. La Botana is a family-owned and operated Mexican restaurant that serves up some of Arizona's most mouthwatering tacos.
Patio seating creates an extremely laid-back atmosphere that is perfect for hanging out with friends, family, or coworkers. It's a great place to relax on a breezy evening.
Each of their different tacos offers a unique flavor combination. Carne asada, fish, shrimp, and barbacoa are just a few of the many delicious options. Choose between corn and flour tortillas, or opt for a tostada instead.

If you want to feel a little healthier without sacrificing flavor, La Botana also offers three different taco salads.
You’ll get all of your favorite taco fillings on a bed of lettuce, served in a bowl-shaped tortilla shell.

La Botana offers a variety of refreshing drinks to perfectly complement your meal. They also offer two-for-one margaritas all day, every day, which might just be the best drink deal in town!
