La Bonita Restaurant

Love the chilaquiles from here. Good always tastes freshly made which is hard to find these days in reataurant settings

I came to this place cause it's across the street from my job and I was so disappointed. I'd gone to a different place if I had more time to be honest. When I first walked in I noticed how dirty the place is and hardly any room to walk as it's packed with stuff all through the the store.I ordered a torta and they didn't have lengua. So I went for asada and was charged an additional $2 for the meat. So I asked when one orders a torta, which meat is included for their $8.99 price and they said none. All meat is extra depending on the meat you chose. I've never been to a place where all meats are extra cost. It's a little ridiculous to me to pay $9 buck for a torta with no meat and if I get meat then I'm really paying $12-13+ for a torta alone. It's also not posted anywhere in the store or menu. If I hadn't asked for a receipt, I wouldn't have known. Unless you're looking to get a vegetarian torta at $9 bucks, I wouldn't recommend going here. To top it off, their bread was rock hard. Not from being extra toasted, but more like from going stale.I don't plan on coming back. The owners or managers were sitting right next to where one orders and played def just to not deal with it..

My husband and I really like this place for some good authentic Mexican food that is quick. We do get some odd stares that translate in my mind "what are you doing in here" lol but for the most part, people are nice and prices are decent.

Let me go into this by saying I love these little whole in the wall type places. It's attached to a tienda. I ordered a chicken Taco Salad. It came in a crispy taco shell, with rice and beans at the bottom. What I didn't see was a heck of a lot of lettuce. I would have preferred no rice & beans, which I'll get next time. The food was good....not great, but a good lunch option near work. My co-worked has the chicken enchiladas. It looked delicious. The poster menu listed tamales, but when I asked, she said they don't have them often (darn-my fav).

Heard good things about this place, but a complete disappointment at every step.Take to order was sticky, since I'm vegetarian it took a while for person to understand what we wanted. Once they took our order we went into the store general store to by something to drink at cheaper price.We come back and wait. And wait and wait. We'll twice they came and brought food but as soon as they got to us they realized it was for someone else, they didn't even leave to dry and stake looking chips with us. In addition to when I paid they almost charged me for another order.I had to go to front to ask where my food was after about 20 mins. It finally came out we left and started eating in the car. Dry taste, ingredients taste old and just tasted bad overall.

We were visiting Vashon Island and got hungry for a good lunch. We saw several restaurants in the area but La Bonita caught our eye along with the aromatic food that was cooking. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and we sat outside at their picnic tables. We ordered Micheladas and chicken enchiladas. The plate was a good portion and well displayed. Once we took a bite, we were in heaven as it was authentic and tasty. The waitress came by a couple of times to make sure we were enjoying out meal. Thanks for the Great service and food!

This has been my go to Mexican place for the past 2 weeks. The flavor are amazing. Just little hints of spices that develop more as you continue to eat it. Their salsa bar is full of different level of hotness.The carnitas are the best I've had in Washington. Watch out for the fat if you don't care for it. It's like thick pieces of carnitas pulled from a whole pork shoulder so you get some of the fat layer found on the top of it. It was amazing to find so many different texture in the carnitas. Their other best are pretty good too, but the carnitas is the best. Their burritos are great. It's different from other Mexican places since they put in cabbage, or it might be lettuce but it's crunchier than normal lettuce. It adds a different spin to the burritos.Customer service is hit and miss. I recommend avoiding this place before 12pm and on Monday. The person there at those times leaves much to be desire from a customer service point of view. She also tend to disappear to the retail part of the store to get ingredients. The short lady who is normal there in the afternoon and evening except Monday is quick and friendly.

Comí en la taquería La Bonita hoy. Carnitas con arroz, frijoles y pico de gallo. Muy sabroso, muy delicioso. ¡Una fiesta en mi boca! La auténtica comida mexicana es mejor cuando nadie que trabaja allí habla inglés. Me encanta cuando dicen "¡Provecho!" Y cuando digo "Te cuidas que tengas una buena tarde", siempre me dan una gran sonrisa y me dicen "Igualmente!" Me encanto, y mi corazón canta.I ate at the taqueria La Bonita today. Carnitas with rice, beans, and pico de gallo. Very savory, very delicious. A party in my mouth! Authentic Mexican food is best when no one that works there speaks English. I love it when the say "Advantage!" And when I say, "Take care to have a good afternoon", they always give a big smile and say "The same!" I love it, and my heart sings.
