Chef Johnny’s Botanero Lounge pays homage to a cherished Mexican tradition—when neighborhood cantinas would serve complimentary botanas alongside an ice-cold cerveza. Blending nostalgia with innovation, this modern lounge reimagines the botanero experience with bold flavors and a stylish atmosphere.
Step into a space where subtle lighting, plush leather seating, and the smooth rhythms of Latin acoustic sounds set the perfect mood for unwinding. The menu showcases contemporary interpretations of classic botanas, featuring dishes like Aguachile de Ribeye, Mole Blanco, and Tequila Fundido de Piña—each crafted to pair beautifully with your favorite drinks.
Whether you’re here for a quick bite, a crafted cocktail, or an evening of relaxed indulgence, Chef Johnny’s Botanero Lounge invites you to savor the tradition with a modern twist.
