We had outstanding service and food. Our waiter was Cameron, and he recommended some really great dishes that we could have overlooked.
The classic ceviche was perfectly executed.
The Churrasco was also as a standing, perfectly cooked. The crispy brussels sprouts had a little bit of heat, but not too too much. I’d definitely go back!
I really enjoyed this tapa place. It has a small bar and cozy dining room. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly. The owner checked in on us, too. We had a shrimp dish that was amazing...the sauce was fantastic and small ciabattas were provided to dip it. The steak was a little tough but the flavor was good especially with the mashed potatoes that came with.
We were a party for 2 and split the two dishes and were full, yet split the small chocolate mousse for dessert. Although the mousse price was quite steep, it was rich and lovely. It was so good that one of us ordered a mousse to go. We couldn't eat a second dessert so a tres leches cake was taken to go, as well.
I wish I would have taken photos of the food. I only took a photo of the mousse after opening it. I will definitely be dining here again so I'll have to take pics and add them to this review at some point. This place is a gem!
Boca Botanas is a small hidden spot in Germantown, MD. They serve Latin American food tapas style. My cousin and I were there recently for Happy Hour. HH is Tuesday-Friday from 4:00p.m. - 7:00p.m. (Verify before you go in case there is a change). Our server was Hessly, who was great! She helped us narrow down or selections.
From the HH menu, we ordered the Elote Locos Nachos, Pulled Chicken Tostones, Margarita and a red Sangria. From the regular menu, we ordered the Seafood Paella. Our total bill including tax was $71.
The Nachos and the Paella were absolutely delicious. When ordering, keep in mind that the food is portions are small; however, start with a few items and add more if need be.
I will definitely be back.
Looking for great tapas with a great atmosphere, great friendly staff stop by here. The food is absolutely fantastic, the drinks are great too (clearly). We we amazed by the variety of meat on the platter. Various flavors along with the perfectly cooked yuca with Brussel sprouts and carrots. Absolutely a must try place, will definitely continue to spread the word and will be back here. The only problem if it was one is they don’t have any other locations yet. But I understand they are exploring that option. Can’t wait to see if they do.
Must tries: (trust me on this) 👌
Churrasco
Bacon wrapped dates
Seafood Paella (large portion)
Lomo Saltado (regular size portion)
Gambas Al Ajillo
Buffalo Cauliflower
Arepa Con Queso (3 arepas)
Grilled Short rib soup (large plate)
Aguachile Ceviche
All plates are tapas style and meant for sharing. I would recommend you order 2-3 dishes to start out with for a party of 2 and go from there. You won't be disappointed 🔥✨
Oh and for drinks, if you like it fruity, get the Mamacita for a little passion fruit in your life 🤌 Yum!
One of my favorite places! The food is always delicious and the service is wonderful! The staff will make you feel at home and the recommendations for food and drinks are always on point! I try something new almost every time and I've never been disappointed! My favorites are the ceviche aguachile, the seafood paella and OMG the grilled short rib soup! Seriously just go and try them! 5 stars every single time!
Calamari is very different than Italian style, deep fried with coconut. Scallops is normal, but the potato salad underneath is amazing! Very tasty. They have happy hours.
This is a very nice and small South America and Spanish restaurant. Located in a Hispanic neighborhood and shopping center. It's small but cozy with a good view. It's choice of Spanish tapas was great. The BACON WRAPPED DATES was surprisingly good. We went there because not many restaurants around make the Brazilian national drink Caipirinha. The drink looked classy with a slice of darkened lemon but the taste was just all right. The IBERICO CHORIZO PAELLA and seafood patella were good but the size were not as large with $36 and $32 each, little pricey. Although we may ordered a little more than usual, the price tag was about $65 per person.
Came here on a Tuesday, didn't know it was taco Tuesday and ordered the Ropa vieja tacos. They are to die for! The Mamacita drink was delicious and the service was excellent. Maria and another bar tender were on point and the food came out hot. Also, their home-made sauces give a nice kick to these dishes. Boca Botana you have created a fan!
My favorite tapas place in the area ! Super friendly staff and management. Things I would recommend are the gambas al ajillo, empanadas, churrasco and quinoa crusted shrimp. And don’t end the night without a sweet! My favorite is the chocolate mousse cake! *chefs kiss*
