Absolute 20/10 Experience! We hosted my son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner and meet-and-greet at Bonez, and honestly, everything was absolutely perfect. We had a pretty large group, but our server, Rachel, was a total rockstar. She took incredible care of us and didn't skip a beat. The rest of the staff was also extremely kind, helpful, and on top of everything the entire night. We went with the family-style fajita dinner with chicken, beef, and shrimp, and the food was delicious. Everyone kept talking about how good it was! We also opted for a drink package, and the service was so seamless that not a single person had to wait for or ask for a drink. If you are looking to host an event in Crested Butte, I cannot recommend Bonez enough. They truly made our special weekend kick off in the best way possible! read more

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for drinks and some chips and salsa. It was about 3pm ... happy hour. The vibe of this place is fantastic. Like a Dia De Los Muertos vibe with a laid back twist. We were seated in a cozy little booth. Our server showed up right away. He was friendly but professional. The skinny marg was fantastic. My husband enjoyed his draft beer. We ordered chips and salsa and were delighted when it came to the table. The fresh and crunch-errific chips came with a trio of in-house made salsas. All three were sooooo good. I'd never had a pineapple habanero salsa but now I'm determined to learn to replicate it at home. We were only in town two nights but next time we're in Crested Butte we will absolutely return to Bonez for dinner. YUM! PS the happy hour prices are REALLY good! read more

Emasculate vibes sitting on the outside patio alongside the creek with the best views on a nice summer day. I was very enthusiastic about the hard horchata. I also ordered tacos which were pretty large in size. The server was also really kind and accommodating. read more

Awesome place! Love the atmosphere, food, and the service was good. Don't miss the margaritas and DIY guacamole.

We stopped in for an early lunch while visiting for the first time. We sat outside with our pup and it was lovely. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Sorry cannot recall the name. My husband had the pork belly tacos, we shared the guac appetizer very good, I had the appetizer salad El Jefe excellent. My husband said best flavor he's had in a long time. I tried the Coco loco marg very tasty not too sweet! read more

Deb and I were strolling up and down Elk Ave when hunger struck, being from Texas we hadn't had any Mexican food since we arrived in CB. We were seated promptly and quickly watered too. Our waitress was prompt with chips and three salsa's, she was very pleasant too. Deb ordered the Bonez bowl, I ordered carnitas enchiladas with rice and beans, quenched by a Colorado Lone Star (locally known as a Coors Light). The atmosphere is pleasant (at lunch)! FYI, the rice and beans were good but the beans are black beans. read more

Such a cool atmosphere and decor with great service and delicious food. We really enjoyed it and I'll definitely go back. I also admire any establishment that makes me pay to make my own appetizer. Slow clap. Great business model. The DIY guac is actually pretty fun and you can't mess it up. read more

Excellent food and service! Some of the best Mexican cuisine you can find. Have dined here many times and it's always excellent!

Yikes! First off, this building is incredible. Such a cool atmosphere with so much character. But holy cow, the food was just bad. Like chips and salsa are tough to mess up... but it was bad. The elotes tasted like warm mayo with some frozen corn thrown in. The carnitas enchiladas were very strange... slightly fruity tasting? All around just poor quality Mexican food for premium prices. read more

Came in here after snowboarding on a Sunday afternoon, we were happy to see they were open around 1 PM, when many other bars in the area were not yet open. Although the sign said, fresh pressed margaritas, the bartender didn't know what we were talking about when we asked if all the margaritas on the menu were fresh pressed. Turns out they are mostly all batched. We sat at the bar and we're shocked and odd by the beautiful ambience, with a bookshelf spanning 40 feet high up into the rafters of the ceiling and Mexican themed skeletons lining the shelves high above reach. Very unique and fitting for the theme. We tried the scorpion and the El Niño, the El Niño tasted a little too sweet, although I saw him shaking it and making it in the moment, it tasted a lot like a regular juice. Also, we were given the wrong rim, but when I pointed it out and asked for the cinnamon sugar it said on the menu, the bartender swept out the cups and re-rimmed the new glass. The scorpion was the better drink, although it came batched it was light and delicious, with a real kick that many spicy margaritas don't achieve. Sadly, it slipped my mind to grab a photo! We appreciated our drinks and the good vibes, thanks bonez! read more

We absolutely love Bonez! There is nothing more satisfying than DIY guacamole and fajitas with the taste of grill char! Pair all of that with a great margaritas and you'll leave with a full belly and very happy! read more

Loved the vibes. It was a perfect place for families. They had the best pork belly tacos that I've ever had and their margaritas were incredible! read more

Great atmosphere with friendly service. Our party of 6 came on a Sunday night and had a 15 min wait until we were seated outside streetside patio. The group really enjoyed out queso and salsa appetizers....the pineapple salsa was a hit! Unfortunately, they didn't have avocadoes so we couldn't get the quac :( They had a busy weekend and CB is pretty remote to get frequent deliveries. We ordered Chicken Enchiladas, Fajitas and every version of the non vegan tacos across all of us and the group seemed to enjoy them. It took a significant time to get our entrees.....which I guess can be expected from time to time when a smaller town gets overwhelmed with visitors and staffing challenges. Service from Aiden was super friendly and prompt! read more

This is a lively restaurant with a cool atmosphere, I especially like the bar area with a long high communal table. The house margaritas were good, they are premixed but not too sweet. The trio of salsas was also yummy, I especially liked the pineapple one, quite spicy. You mix your own guac and I'd recommend asking for jalapenos if you like it a little hot. Our waiter was nice and we had a great time. We'd definitely go back when in Crested Butte. read more

This was a really neat place to eat at. We ate outside because the weather was so nice but the interior of the restaurant is beautiful so maybe a good option for dinner! The salsas were really good. I really liked the chipotle one but the rest of the family liked the pineapple salsa. We passed on the guac because it was overpriced AND you have to make it yourself. Anyway, the enchiladas(we got steak) were the favorite of the meal, followed by the fajitas(the sour cream and picked onions really made this dish), then the bowl which we felt we could have done without. Spanish rice and beans on the side were a good call. The staff was really friendly and helpful, our dishes came out quickly, and they checked in on us regularly. My sister came here before and said she really enjoyed the quesadilla salad last time. read more

Cool vibe. Cool merch. Polite staff though not necessarily experienced, which I get, it's seasonal staff. Food was so-so. Tortilla soup was tomato based and lacked any real depth of flavor. Carnitas tacos are piled with meat, so really generous servings but the meat is overcooked and again, not a ton of flavor. Sat us near the kitchen with an open window where my 10 year old got to hear at least a dozen F-bombs from the line cooks (place was pretty empty so everything coming out of the kitchen was loud and clear. Want to love this place and was excited to go but overall it just didn't live up to expectations. read more

I am giving a bad review for two reasons: one is so people will check their carry out before leaving, and the other is so servers start paying attention to detail. We spent close to $100 for a simple Lunch which was very good but too much food. We asked for boxes so we could heat it up the next day in our hotel. When we heated our food we found we were given someone else's food! Suddenly there were potatoes and sausage enchiladas instead of the cheese ones I had ordered and the steak my husband got. Hugely disappointing since that was our supper! We had to settle for popcorn and crackers! Pay attention servers! For me--I will never allow a server to box up my food again! read more

The building and interior itself is very nice but the recipes and flavor are plain off. Service was good but it's mind boggling when ur consciously putting out simplistic food that has awful flavors. Overly garlicky on everything, salas were almost inedible, elote tasted like mayonnaise and corn, enchilada was school cafeteria'esque etc. My wife and I felt like we needed to brush our teeth multiple times. read more

OMG. The "do it yourself" guacamole is the best. Then the vegan nachos and then the seitan tacos. Service at the bar was the best. Thanks for all the veg options. read more

While extremely overpriced, I did have a good time here. Their elote was the only thing we enjoyed on the menu. The ambiance is gorgeous. I had a spicy marg and it was extremely spicy even though they mixed half the original and half of the spicy for me so beware. It was still delicious. Our server was great. She was very attentive, accommodating, and knowledgeable. There is not a lot of choices for cilantro haters. Overall would maybe come back for happy hour to have the elote. read more

Things have really gotten better at Bonez. I don't think the previous bartender that I went on a rant about in my last post is there anymore. My husband gave it another try & said the service was great & the bartender was very informative of the specials. Ive been back twice now for Taco Tuesday (Margarita & any 2 tacos for $15). Again, service was great, we did have to ask about Taco Tuesday each time, we weren't told & it's not noted on the menu. Also, if you enjoy eating Al Fresco, this time of year is great for sitting outside & theres several tables set up outside with umbrellas for shade. I also believe dogs are allowed at those tables. read more

Once again Bonez provides fast friendly service and awesome food especially the carnitas enchiladas . An excellent margarita and a cool atmosphere makes for a 5 star experience read more

The ambience is great and the customer service as well. We have gone to eat here 2 days in a row and it'll be one we come back to when we visit CB in the future. The food is delicious we had the guacamole, queso, plantains dish, fajitas, a couple of their bowls and their Paloma is so good. read more

Pork Belly Bowl and Chicken enchilada. The Pork Belly was okay glad I had the sauce separated sweet and spicy not for me, just a touch sweet is okay. The Chicken enchilada a bit too soupy for me. The green chile sauce was just okay. read more

We always plan one dinner at Bonez while in Crested. They have an incredible selection of tequila from which they make outstanding margaritas, the enchiladas and fajitas delicious, and the service is prompt and friendly. The decor is unique with the wall of books and bottles hanging from the ceiling. In particular, we recommend the carnitas enchiladas and the queso blanco to start. Bonez is a great venue which we recommend. read more

An easy 5 stars because all the servers were incredibly allergen aware and even brought out a book that clearly labeled whether each dish was okay for a gluten/dairy allergy! Great stop for a quick lunch outside! read more

If you are craving Mexico food while in Crested Butte BONEZ is the place to go! We stopped for a quick ladies lunch date. We got guacamole and chips for an app for the table - best decision ever! We all filled up on them before our entrees came out. But we couldn't help it, it was so delicious!!! The chips came out warm so you know they were freshly made and the guacamole is customizable since you make it at your table. Two of us got bowls and one got a salad. All three were delicious. My bowl was the standard with chicken. It had a bit of spice. I think it was the rice that made it spicy. It wasn't what I was expected since I asked about how spicy the different protein options were but the waiter never mentioned that the rice had heat. I am a bit sensitive to spiciness. My friend who got the salad said she made a great choice and stated the steak was very flavorful. read more

The food is tasty but the kitchen is counterproductive when delivering appetizers at same time as entrees. That was a negative experience and I probably would have ordered a second marg. When we mentioned this to the waitress she said she would be sure to tell the kitchen, but that didn't help our experience at all. read more

The atmosphere is all done up in skeletons which gave it a fun vibe. The food was very good. My enchilada was excellent and a large portion. The DIY Guac was a bit weird, sort of hard to mash up with mortar and pestle provided. Drinks were very good as well. Service was attentive. Neat spot. read more

Repeat visit based on our first experience during the height of COVID. Every fall we venture over the mountains to enjoy some fall fun in Crested Butte. We always come for a long weekend, hike, shop, wander and eat. Just like the thousand of others who enjoy the same... We had a great experience here back in 2020 and it was top of the list to repeat this year. We got in early for the blue hair special thinking we would beat the crowds but alas that's not possible in CB in the fall. The amount of outdoor seating they have added is awesome. So many big tables that can seat 8 easily were filled with couples and small families. Seems like they should do a community seating table for small groups to maximize space but that's just my hungry tummy grumbling... We sat inside in a booth, not so spacious but ok. Wait staff was sparse as expected and it was a good 10 minutes before anyone came by to acknowledge us. It was just busy... We had tacos trios or bowls and shared a guacamole with four people. The DIY guacamole is super yummy. Definitely worth a repeat. The tacos and bowls were tasty and came as ordered. We had 3 Paloma's came as expected. The tacos are stacked. So much meat. I think the downfall here was the carnitas were dry and not all that flavorful. The bowl was good! All totaled for 4 people we spent $180 for DIY guac, 6 tacos, 3 Paloma's, 2 bowls and no partridge in a pear tree. Why 3 stars? No pizzazz...staff that doesn't care, uninspired food, a lackluster experience. You just don't have many options. I wanted it to be as awesome as the first time and it left us wanting more for less. read more

I love the vibe and decor of this place. But the drinks and food really knock it out of the park! I got the elk fajitas with chimichurri.

My bartender/waitress was also elegant and very helpful. read more

We loved the food and had great service from Chloe at Bonez! The ambiance was very cool! Loved the design and ambiance. We ordered the El Niño mezcal cocktail, which we loved. We had a really tasty salsa trio as an appetizer along with the queso (delicious)! Chips were high quality. We split the 'spinach and shrooms' and I would highly recommend that order! It was the perfect dinner after a lot of walking around town. We also really liked the healthy kids menu option! Our son ordered the steak and avocado. We appreciated that option. It was high quality and cooked perfectly. read more

Very interesting place but be prepared this isn't your standard red sauce and chips place. Best I can describe it is the idea of Mexican but fused with very different spices and sauces. You won't recognize it as Papacitos Mexican but come with an open mind you may be quite pleased by their recipes. Same with their eclectic mixed drink options. It was a bit spicy hot for my taste but clearly with the ambience along a creek and really cool interior it is no wonder lines can be out the door after 6:30 (we went at 4:30 with no problem getting seated). Noting plenty of wait staff who seemed to have a great attitude to be working there. read more

We stopped by for lunch while checking out the city of Crested Butte during a camping trip. I was elated to see hard horchata in the menu! I've never had alcoholic horchata but love the traditional cinnamony milk anywhere. 10/10 recommend this drink for a sweet pick me up! My husband got one of their margaritas that has the grand marnier float and said it was amazing! We got the elote for an appetizer and our food came out very quickly after that. There was too much seasoning on the top for me to love the elote. We split their green Chile bowl and carnitas tacos- both had excellent flavor. I didn't love the presentation of the green chile bowl because it looked more like soup than I was expecting- but flavor made up for it so I'd still order again! We sat outside with our dog and they even offered to get her a water bowl! Service was quick and attentive and made great suggestions! read more
