Reviews for La Bonita in Portland, OR
Honestly some of the best service I had in years. The dude that looks like Chris Perez with short hair from the Selena movie. ... Helped me get my order right when I was about to mess it up. I know I got a good tostada because I can't see it! Read more
Decided to stop in to La Bonita, Alberta for a quick birthday meal for our good friend Brad. The wait was minimal and the front... of the house folks were amazing. Our Margaritas and the Paloma were on point and went perfectly with our meal. Everythingtasted amazing and there wasn?t a crumb left on our plates. Go check them out ???? Read more
A favorite Mexi-must-stop in the Alberta Arts District. Fast service, friendly staff, plentiful portions. Try the enchiladas... with spicy salsa verde and you're sure to leave a clean plate. Read more
Stumbled upon this place walking down the street while hungry. Delicious smell coming from the door and the food did not... disappoint. Some of the most well cooked and best tasting chicken I?ve had in awhile. Albeeno (sorry for spelling?) wasgenuinely kind and super helpful! He knows his stuff! Kitchen staff was also fast and friendly! Do yourself a flavor and eathere. Read more
La Sirenita > La Bonita Well, what happened was my friend and I wanted some Mexican food. We missed breakfast and worked... through lunch. We were starving. We found two Mexican restaurants nearly right next to each other and began to read the reviews.It appeared that there were maybe fake negative reviews going on so we decided we would go to BOTH on the same day and comparefor ourselves. Both places you order & pay at the register. You retrieve your food once it is ready and bus your own table.This is something I have found in many places in both Portland and Seattle. Frankly, I think it it is a disservice to yourcustomers. The food ? La Sirenita was clearly the better of the two Mexican restaurants. Honestly I didn?t even finish my mealat La Bonita and I would not go back again. We ordered Veggie tacos (2) Chicken tacos (2) Strawberry Margarita RegularMargarita Cost $40 !! Four tacos and two small Margaritas ? $40 Let?s talk about the food Veggie tacos - the ingredients arein the name right? Veggie = vegetables. Not here, you will get rice and beans? The special already comes with rice and beans Iwould like vegetables in my veggie tacos. Not sure why my plate came with the actual beans and not the refried beans like myfriends plate. They were not good at all I did not even finish one taco and did not take it to go, it was thatdisappointing. The flavor on the chicken tacos was just okay. The meat seemed a little weird as it wasn?t sliced or chunks. Thepieces looked like the gristle but it was not. The staff had no interest in making sure you were happy with their food. Nogreeting. Just seemed like they were trying to make money. I asked a lady for a box to go for the chicken tacos and she handedme a small box. A few minutes later my friend asked for some carrots to go from the same lady she said she didn?t understand.She then asked in Spanish (fluent) she said she didn?t understand we told the young man and he repeated the exact same thing in Read more
Food is generally good, but can be a little inconsistent, unfortunately. The burrito filling is often too heavy on the rice and... not enough of the meat. Margaritas are certainly tasty. Avoid the side dining room by the bathrooms, it smells terrible! Thebathroom cleaning products and other underlying smells are so strong that they make eating impossible. I wish they would usesomething a little less ?industrial?. Read more
Great little Mexican place... Authentic taste.. Large portions... I had the tostada w/chicken. "BIG", Tasty, and flavorful.. My... bf had the Chimichanga Again "BIG" And Tasty. The margarita was good. Can get busy, but worth the wait.. Read more
I went here multiple times over quarantine and it was a huge lifesaver for me! The food is wonderful, the prices are superb, the... waits weren't long and the service was fantastic. If you're wondering if you should check this place out then the answer is yes. Read more
