La Botana — Restaurant in Torres Vedras

Visited the restaurant a month ago. Kind of sad to be writing this but it was a very underwhelming experience, especially given the price point.

I LOVE Mx food. For real! But, as mentioned by others, food was bland, unremarkable, portions were small and prices were off the scale for my understanding and experience of MX food in Portugal, USA, Brazil and France.

We had a barbacoa burrito (absolutely unremarkable), veggie burrito (my wife ate half and did not like it) and also some good guacamole, pico de galo and margaritas.

You can see the place's decore was well thought of, intentional and polished but they forgot to make sure the food was as well.

It is impossible to give a restaurant a final opinion based on one single visit so we will visit again and give it one more chance in the coming weeks.

The restaurant is reasonably (but not overly) attractive and cozy, but unfortunately doesn’t have a menu with prices visible from outside.

Our starter was a guacamole, which was very good and sufficient for us 4 to share. However, all our mains were very small and almost looking lost on the large plates. To not leave hungry we had to order 6 “mains” for the 4 of us. As Ruben already said, if they don't change the quantities, they risk having no future in Torres Vedras.

As mentioned by others, the Flautas were without flavour (just chicken) and the beef tacos were also bland.

As also mentioned by others, the service was fast and friendly. I am actually sad that this enrichment of the Torres Vedras culinary landscape is a...

In the mood for Mexican but this was just ok. Ordered the steak tacos, chicken tostadas and calabacitas tostadas. Meat was not seasoned at all so very bland and no cilantro on anything. Tostadas normally have a bean spread on them but was served on just plain tostadas. The calabacitas was good but again missing corn in it which is traditional. They served 3 sauces with it which were very tasty just not enough sauce - tomatillo, spicy and garlic. The mescalitas were delicious and best part...
