The Mexican food restaurant and popular Happy Hour spot, La Botana Tacos, left its former location at 3200 N. First Ave. and has reopened its doors at 565 E. Wetmore Rd.
The restaurant isn’t too far from its original location on First Avenue. The new spot has the same familiar menu many have grown to love over the years, there’s a shaded patio, plenty of TVs to catch a game, and their grande margaritas are still big enough to require two hands.
La Botana Tacos’ new spot is inside the building that formerly housed an Applebee’s, which is now a duplex — Church’s Chicken is on the other side of the partition.
Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, bacon-wrapped jalapeños — whatever you desire, the staff is ready to take your order. While you’re there, don’t forget to enjoy La Botana’s signature bean dip with chips. And you won’t be locked into one kind of salsa either — the salsa bar features a variety of heat and flavors.
The current hours of operation are 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Monday – Thursday, 11 – 10 p.m. on Friday – Saturday, and closed on Sundays.
La Botana will be reopening at 565 E Wetmore Rd. To keep up with the latest, follow La Botana on Instagram and visit labotanatacos.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
