Botánico Tacos & Tequila is entering a new chapter — and there’s a lot to dig into.

Located along County Road 19A, Botanico has rolled out a new menu that goes well beyond tacos, with dishes like chile relleno spring rolls, elote wings, yuca fries, fajitas, birria, enchiladas, pozole, milanesa, tamales, tortas and more.

The restaurant has also been building out its cocktail program, making it an easy spot for lunch, dinner, drinks or a night out.

And this Thursday is a pretty good excuse to see what’s new.

Botanico is hosting our next Chamber After Hours: Books, Boots & Botanico, celebrating Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Lake County, Florida with the Triangle Community Alliance.

Ellie is five and can read!
She loves books and is excited to start school.

She’ll be successful in school because she can read!

If you’d like your child to start reading early, read out loud everyday to your child-family time, reading, engaging, talking, dreaming, exploring- they cant get enough!

Parents are the child’s first teachers!
