Botanas Premier Mexican Restaurant & Bar

Last time I was Gere was years ago and it's still amazing! Great food and cocktails!

They have a vegan/vegetarian section of the menu!! This place is a must go to if you are looking for plant based eating in Branson! The food was amazing, and the menu variety among the best I have seen of any Mexican restaurant. Everything about our stay from the chips and salsa, drinks, and food qualify and service was top notch. I can’t say enough good things about our visit.

We were looking for a place to eat a late lunch/early dinner and stopped here and glad we did. We ordered nachos to start which were very tasty. For our main course we ordered the feast for two which was a large selection of steak, chicken, shrimp and spicy ground beef as well as grilled onions, baby onions, cactus leaf and an 1/4 avocado along with rice, beans, sour cream and guacamole. Independently owned. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food, great service, great place!

TL:DR
Not just your normal tex-mex - you can find some authentic and delicious dishes alongside the Americanized fare. Try the sopas!

Looking for a good place for lunch, tried this out... and quickly discovered why it is so highly rated!

Clean and cute interior, quick service, and exceptionally friendly staff.

I had the chicken sopas, and they were so incredible. The corn masa base was cooked just right, the chicken was perfectly seasoned, and the toppings were fresh and portioned well.

Wife had the chicken tortilla soup - best I've had! Not very spicy, but so rich and flavorful. The broth was incredible.

My only regret is that I didn't have room to try dessert. Next time!

Edit, went today and food was awesome, our server Rosa as busy as they were for a Friday night stayed on top of refills, checkbacks for the time we were there. Fantastic server. Keep up the great work. good food, we really liked it. A little over priced for what you get I think, my wife said she thinks it's about right due to higher cost and staff. I know things have gone up. Staff needs to make more and all that. After all she does wear a shirt that says she can explain why she right.

Best Mexican on the strip! Food is fantastic, drinks are fresh and the service is always phenomenal.

Don’t walk … RUN here!! The margaritas are bomb strong and delicious, the food is ridiculously delicious (wasn’t expecting authentic and flavorful food on a tourist strip in Branson, Mo 😂). The prices are extremely reasonable and the service is excellent! We will be back when we visit Branson!!

Great food and fantastic staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here and the staff was nothing but accommodating. The chili relleno was delicious as well as the street tacos.

The best fajitas I've ever had! The guacamole enchiladas were amazing too! As someone with gluten allergies and eats vegan this place has so many options and they have great flavor! Hubs loved his dishes too! We will be back!

I love Mexican, this place has a little of everything, traditional and not so traditional but hey I’m not authentic, so I’m not a expert lol but this place was very good in food , service and atmosphere, I would definitely recommend
FYI my husband does not like peppers and onions so that’s why you will see in my pictures everything is separate lol

Absolutely delicious! The best street corn, tacos and margarita! I live 2 hours away but will be back!

Excellent food! Great flavor, steak was seasoned and good cut (no bad pieces). Margarita was delicious! Server was friendly. They were fairly busy and our food came quickly. Lots of seating.

Impressive, quality, fresh, and authentic Mexican food. Laid back dining atmosphere and friendly staff. I highly recommend this place. Some of the best Street Tacos I've ever had.

We stopped for lunch with a party of 8. The wait staff were friendly, menu had a lot of pictures and food was great!! The only negative is that it is right off the contested road (others will see that as a positive).

Delicious, healthy, vegan Mexican food! Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. There's even a Vegetarian & Vegan section on the menu. Several vegan options to choose from. And my non-vegan parents enjoyed their meal, too.

Being from Texas, we get Nervous about the quality of Mexican food as we travel North so we were hesitant to go here, but the pictures and reviews seemed worth it. We were very satisfied! Our waiter, did notcatch his name but he was from Dominican Republic, was a super nice dude. The food was amazing! From the salsa to the plates it exceeded expectations. I recommend stopping here.

I came here with my sis for her Birthday. We really enjoyed our meal. The service was Great! The people were Friendly. Did I mention the Food was Phenomenal!! Definitely got our money's worth. They also helped us celebrate her birthday with a cake!!

Coming from the southwest, it is hard finding a Mexican restaurant that tastes authentic. My family is from southern Mexico so it tasted a lot like my family's cooking. The salsa is killer good! The choriqueso and bean dips were delicious. This will be my spot when I crave a little taste of home.

We came here for dinner, not knowing what to expect. My husband is vegan and struggles to find food that is tasty. Botana is amazing. He has only had one other restaurant made tamales that were good and these meet how good they were. Great job Botana.

The drinks are great and the street tacos are amazing 😍 exactly what I was looking for
