La Botana de Cookie — Restaurant in Harlingen

Disliked more than ever. We've been here a couple of times and this time sealed the deal. We visited in Tuesday of this week. No more La Botana Grill #2. We ordered a fajita Botana for 4 and queso flameado with chorizo. The meat smelled like it had been defrosted and had a bad flavor. The chorizo on the cheese wasn't fully cooked. Their tortillas were too thick for my liking. The green salsa tasted old, as if the tomato was going bad. Charro beans had the same flavor almost rancid, as if everything was on the brink of going bad. I'm thinking either it's leftovers from the weekend or their refrigerators are not cooling. Really, not so good food. I'm not sure what's going on in the kitchen, but it's not up to par. As for the service, it's not the best, the waitress was very transactional and not a single smile, very long face. She wasn't rude, but wasn't happy to be there either. She was just there to do her thing, you know. This same waitress, in a previous experience when we I had placed a to-go order, we placed a large order and I asked to have an extra pint of rice instead of charro beans because we had beans at home. When I went to pick up the order, she handed me beans and I reminded her that I requested rice instead and she said, "oh yeah" and she let the kitchen know but they were having a back and forth conversation about the order and what it comes with. She was telling them through the window from the counter to the kitchen that I ordered rice instead of beans and they took half an hour to get that pint of rice for me. The waitress seemed frustrated and seemed like the kitchen staff and her were not...

I just started living in Harlingen and was looking for a place that sold botana sand I Saw this place on Door Dash and it had good reviews so I decided to order the botana for 3. It looked delicious through the pictures but it was a BIG Disappointment when I received it. For $31 this must be a joke. The “ribs” were over cooked and super old and dry, the avocado was black and old, the chicken was super dry and had a weird taste, the sausage tasted nothing like a sausage more like a hot dog weenier that’s has been boiled in water, the beans had no taste, and lastly the fajita was super cold. The only good thing about all this was the corn tortillas. Everything was so nasty and had to throw it away. I do not recommend ordering from this place. I’m sure there are way better restaurants that sell botanas that are way...

Decided to come here cause my sister saw it on tiktok. The menu wasn't as a big variety as we originally thought. We ordered the enchiladas suizas, American enchiladas, alambriza, fajita platter, tampiquena plate, and the milanesa de Pollo. Best plate was the milanesa de Pollo. Big plates of enchiladas were good. We got the alambriza cold, but flavor was okay. They cane with charro beans, which surprisingly were good, but small serving. The service was okay. We were a big party so they did their best. The young ladies were nice but a little unorganized. Atmosphere was quiet, clean. Not many people were here. Overall...
