One of the top five meals I’ve ever had!! Literally perfect from start to finish. Loved the ambience, the cocktails were great as was the bottle of Rioja we ordered. For appetizers, we had the tuna, croquettes and a cheese stuffed pepper.. all were delicious! We shared the whitefish and a steak that were recommended by our waiter for our entrée, and both were uniquely prepared and perfectly presented. Also, the many sauces they brought to go with the tostada chips were all delicious. We ended with the banana dessert and the pan de elote, and again the desserts were next level spectacular! If it were up to me, I would give this restaurant to Michelin star!

About the restaurant

Antes conocido como Bar Las Moritas y con un importante legado histórico en la ciudad de San Pedro Garza García, nace en 2015 Botanero Moritas.

Su nombre, proviene de un árbol de moras que se encontraba en lo que hoy es la terraza del primer establecimiento ubicado en la cabeza del municipio de San Pedro Garza García.

Las instalaciones de Botanero Moritas, fueron sede del club de box de San Pedro, donde además había billares y pelea de gallos.

The meal was ok, the service was ok, it was dead when we got there and the food was nothing to write home about. My arrachera was undercooked. I asked for it medium and it was medium rare AT BEST. Won’t be coming back.

About the restaurant

Es un restaurante conceptualizado en un momento histórico para México, en su esplendor de los años 40. El espacio arquitectónico compuesto de 3 ambientes, representan en su interior a los grandes y elegantes salones del Distrito Federal con rasgos al estilo del Art Decó. El exterior es el tejido urbano de la gran metrópoli con todo y su taquero callejero, la cantina banquetera y una terraza abierta.

Una cocina sencilla y con una complicidad en botanas, tacos, tortas y platillos mexicanos. La Reynita, es un sazón real y auténtico con una identidad de callejero pero servido con todo el protocolo de los restaurantes finos.

We ordered a bunch of little dishes and they were all great. Service staff was attentive although the place was packed. My only complaint was that the noise level made the experience MUCH less enjoyable
