Do not recommend - Edit
I checked out La Botanica on a Saturday night... I ordered the oyster mushroom burrito and the fajita tacos. The descriptions looked amazing, but sadly the food was lacking in taste, quality, and portion size (for the $$ price). There were almost no mushrooms to be seen in the burrito, the rice and tortilla stale, and overall unflavorful...also, this burrito was the size of something off a fast-food dollar menu. The tacos were no better, there was barely any filling and whatever portabello was there was overcooked. Truthfully, I've never gotten food at a restaurant that looked this disappointing (do they even care in the kitchen???). The one saving grace of the night was the deep fried rice balls with strawberry sauce for $6 (These are the only reason that I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1). They were really flavorful. Sad and disappointed that this vegan option is not better.
Cons: Small portions, Expensive, Not tasty

good food - Edit
The food menu is very limited and even more so if you go on a Sunday. The drink menu far surpasses the food options which would make this a great place for an evening out. Seating is limited to the patio (hot with some fans) or an even hotter inside so plan on bringing a sweat rag. Other than that it's a great place to eat and not have to worry about animal products hiding in the dishes.
Pros: Large drink menu, Delicious food
Cons: Limited menu, Climate

Good Vegan Food! - Edit
The atmosphere is super dope and hella chill! Love the good vibes! Food is absolutely delicious! Super innovative and creative! The staff isn't the nicest all the time, kind of hit or miss. Also, the food is a bit pricey. The menu is kinda of small but it is worth trying!! Food is on point!
Pros: Great food, good atmosphere, dog friendly patio
Cons: pricey, not a lot of parking

DELICIOUS!!!! - Edit
The food was some of the most creative and flavorful Vegan food I've ever tasted! The specialty drinks were also amazing! Mi carino was, hands down, the best designer drink I've ever had! With the live music and animal friendly patio, it's the only place I want to go on the weekends!
Pros: Tasty food, Pet friendly, Music
Cons: Portions are small, Small menu
