Truly enjoyed Botero, we just happen to pass by and decided to try it. What a great place for wine and tapas. We had sangria and a cheese platter. Both of which were so good, along with great music on the sound system. We ordered a fantastic desert and were surprised with some live music. We will be back and highly recommend you go too!
Where do I begin?! This place has the best paella I’ve ever had definitely worth a 30min drive I highly recommend to anyone who finds them self in this small town! The service was okay at best the place looks like it’s needs more attention. But I’ll be back its amazing the food saved this place for me!
Monet was our very attentive server. She was fantastic. Food was outstanding. Will be back!
If you have not been here, you are missing out. The food is awesome, the atmosphere great. They make their sangria in house. Live music, I mean who doesn't like Live music. Get here and give it a try.
We went here 3 years ago and the food was not as good as it was today. The service was good as the first time. We had the Morcilla, the Pulpo and a Paella and everything was delicious! Giving the place a second chance was totally worth it!
Botero is an absolute gem! The food is nothing short of amazing and truly authentic, thanks to the owners' Spanish heritage. Every dish bursts with genuine flavors that transport you straight to Spain. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for enjoying a relaxed evening with friends. The service is top-notch, with a friendly and knowledgeable staff who are happy to make recommendations. Botero is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Spanish cuisine. Five stars!
Food was outstanding, the seasoning is to perfection. Our service was outstanding. We will definitely be returning. Love the fact you can order multiple dishes for different tastes and sharing.
An incredible Spanish dining experience in an unexpected place. Best paella I’ve had in Texas, and the scallop ceviche is out of this world. Service was attentive, friendly, and quick. The paella is cooked to order (as it should be) so expect 40 to 45 minutes for it to come out; in the mean time delight in the many other items on the menu, which do come out quickly. Absolutely loved it, enough, that I may be making the multiple hour drive down to Boerne more often just to visit this place.
Anytime I spot Spanish food, it’s a must for me! I love getting to taste and experience the different techniques of a flavorful paella served in a sizzling pan… wow. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to try the paella this time, but I was definitely not disappointed with my choices. We started with the buñuelos de bacalao—so fluffy and delicious, especially with the spicy aioli. Then we tried the chef’s choice empanadas: one filled with pork (I think!) and the other with bacalao, both paired perfectly with a side of cilantro sauce. Let’s just say our before-and-after photos tell the full story! They also have live music from time to time, which makes me even more excited to come back. Overall, the food and ambiance were a 10/10—a true must-visit in Boerne!
My husband and I decided to try out this place since we are going to Spain for our 25th anniversary in 2026. Wanted to get a feel for a Spanish Tapas bar. El Botero did not disappoint, everything was very delicious. They were only out of one item (apparently this happens occasionally because they do not make bulk items. Everything is made to order) so hopefully we’ll try that next time. We shared seven different items from the menu… The scallop ceviche was our favorite! I did not get photos of everything because we just dug right in without thinking about this review… We enjoyed a really nice bottle of Tempranillo from Rioja. Our server was very attentive and a delight to interact with. We went early around 5:30PM so it wasn’t too busy…they have indoor and outdoor seating. We chose a small indoor table for the two of us. It was not too noisy, they were playing some Spanish music that could have been turned down, just a tad, but it wasn’t so loud we couldn’t talk to each other They also have free parking on site but you have to look for the blue signs that don’t require you pay to park.
