Junior A.

Place was a walk up counter service . Very nice people . #food was good and I'll be back . They open up early so that's a plus . The pozole was meaty the flavor was there but it's a fast food Mexican place so I would say it's good

0 stars for me. Ordered a 2 taco combo with rice. 1 shredded beef taco and a 1 chicken taco. There was ZERO beef in the beef taco and ONE small slice of chicken in the other. Rice was cold. Awful experience. Awful food. Awful establishment. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

This place is amazing. Great vibe, food, service and the pozole has a ton of flavor. This is my new go to place.

Bonitas is a small casual Mexican Restaurant located in North Glendale. They offer some alcohol, breakfast, soups, a variety of tacos, burros, salads, combination plates, Birria, Birria Ramen, a kids menu, desserts and more! Ordering is slightly disjointed. Half the menu is on a wall and the the other half a menu is behind the counter. You order, pay, seat yourself, and someone runs out your order. My husband ordered a variety of street tacos (most were ONLY $1.50),.......also a birria taco, and rice and beans. I tried the Birria Ramen. Everything was at least good but to us some things stood out more than others. Our favorites were the carnitas, adobada, and the birria taco and Birria Ramen. These were all tasty very flavorful GOOD FOOD. The man at the counter was very nice and helpful. The restaurant seemed clean and parking was easy because they are located at the end of a strip mall with a parking lot.

My wife and I got Bonitas via delivery last night and judging from the rest of the reviews, I really wish we had gone into the restaurant or at the very least gotten takeout ourselves. Don't get me wrong. The food was good, but when you've got your food held hostage in a styrofoam container being driven lazily around the city by an Uber Eats driver - it's not the restaurant, it's the delivery. I went with the bean/cheese burrito + taco combo. After the hot food is placed in the styrofoam delivery container and then wrapped up tightly in a plastic bag and then driven casually from Point A to Point B by the Uber Eats driver, the food is essentially continuing to steam itself in the container. This made the taco fall apart when I attempted to pick it up. It made the rice soggy. It made the tortilla of my burrito feel chewy. I don't think this is any fault of Bonitas. I'm sure the food would have appeared fresher and tasted fresher had we eaten in vs. gotten delivery. All in all, I'll likely be back to try Bonitas again. I want to give them a fair shot as since they've gotten a lot of positive reviews, I'm blaming this mediocre experience on the fact that we had our dinner delivered.

This Mexican eatery is very casual, small but not cramped, the prices are good and the food is okay - quite average in my opinion. The wait for the tacos I ordered took longer than I had expected, considering the place was quiet when I was there. It's across the street from ASU West so it was what you'd pretty much expect for an eatery in a college area.

Scott A.

My wife and I have ordered take out from bonitas a few time. Prices are good and food is decent. Only problem is that my favorite dish - the Birria tacos - don't really travel well. I've never had them at the restaurant so I can't really judge the quality of the dine in experience, but by thine I get home with my order the taco shells are always a bit soggy. That said, the tacos are stuffed with a generous amount of meat and the consome dipping sauce is flavorful. We also frequently order the flautas which actually do travel quite well. They're also generously stuffed and somehow always crispy despite being buried under a heap load of toppings. Recently my wife ordered an enchilada style burrito which she wasn't super happy with. The enchilada sauce is a red sauce base which isn't her favorite and the whole thing was still kind of dry. Overall, this place is decent if you're in the Glendale area and jonesing for Birria and other Mexican food staples.

Birria tacos and Diablo Burro FTW. Cute little order at the front and sit down or take out place. Order came out fast, hot, best tacos I've had in a while. Crispy at the edges, meat is tender w/some charred ends, birria is flavorful and not too oily. Yumm all around.

Best thing the previous owner did was sell this restaurant. The new owners are friendly and the food is great I just had lunch here, and the only reason I even came back was because the barber told me it was a new owner. I am glad I was able to come back and try it again. It's so much closer than other places. I look forward to supporting this new owners Changed my review again. This time was a to go order and not only did they not give us everything we ordered, they put a taco on top of enchiladas vs separating them to preserve the integrity of the taco. Shame because when I met the new owners they seemed to care. But now they have seems to lose interest. Damn shame too. It's gone down hill from what it was. Glad there are several other places close by I can order from. read more

Not bad Bonitas came highly recommended and the food was okay. The tacos and green chili burritos were glavorful, as was the rice and beans, and I am usually extremely disappointed by the rice and beans in most Mexican restaurants. It was a busy afternoon and they might have been understaffed, however, we received our meals quickly. Inspite of the slow service, I'd go again, the food makes up for it. read more

The first time I came here I was happy with the first breakfast burrito that I got as well as the menudo soup and Birria taco .... Then I came here today and I got this; that I just HAD to post a picture of.. a mushy fish burrito? You should probably disclose to people you don't frye your own fish and you use a previously frozen fish sticks that's not fresh fish. Filiberto's even fry's their own fresh fish lol this was just gross! Along with that the Birria tacos weren't great and super soggy. Overall it was just a horrible second impression that left me stumped to never want to come back here again. Plus the young girl at the front was just flat out rude, such poor customer service, I get everyone has bad days but take your ass to the back if you can't greet people, smile or even look like you somewhat like your job. Someone even dropped her two dollar bills in the tip jar from their change and she couldn't say thank you and walked away. No Bueno read more

I have endured weeks of people telling me to hit this place up. I finally did this afternoon and wow...I'm sorry I waited so long. This place is incredible. Great menu that finds a way to hit the mood of the four different people that went with me. We came on taco Tuesday and the special tacos were spot on. But why stop there. We also tried the street tacos (steak was great and pork was superb and not too spicy). But damn the Banditos! A mini chimi with a Baja sauce that is haunting me as I write this. Trust this place. Trust the sauce and trust the service and the good people who are thrilled to feed you. I felt like I was in someone's kitchen and can't wait to return. read more

Half average, half horrible! My friend enjoyed his enchilada, and considered it average grade. My "Diablo" chimichanga however was bland, flavorless dried red peppers, and extremely low grade fatty meat (friend tasted and not same as his enchilada). Salsa is more just pico de gallo, too oniony. No smokey red pepper sauce. I love flavor over heat and 'Diablo' had neither. "Cute" must be the code for their weak sense of flavor. ‍ but they'll get their second star for giving my friend an acceptable meal read more

Otherwise the carne asada, lengua and tripa tacos were all delicious and generously portioned! They have grilled jalapeños, and a self-serve garnish bar with 4 different types of salsas, pickled red onions, sliced cucumbers, shredded cabbage, diced onions and chopped cilantro, lime, and their liquidy guac. We came back already for their crunchy tripas and will continue to visit for our taco/burrito fixes. Service: 5-stars - Open kitchen behind the service counter allows you to see how they cook their meats over the charcoal grill. Our order came out pretty quick. 10-15 mins max. It's a fast casual spot so open seating, no host/waiters but there are workers that clean the dining area. Ambiance: 4-stars - Nothing special but clean and open dining areas. Multiple TVs for your viewing pleasure along with an outdoor patio area for outdoor dining. Overall 4-stars - I will say, after ordering for takeout last week, the best experience is to dine-in. The tripas were not as crunchy when taking home to eat. However, if you like your tripas crunchy like I do, dine-in and eat fresh is the best. Tacarbon satisfied our taco craving but they also offer cheese crisps, burritos and plates that include tortillas and beans. Pretty good overall, but definitely still room for improvements - especially for the premium price point. Definitely recommend to check out if you haven't already. It's probably going to be our new go-to spot for Mexican food.

From start to finish this place is so good from the fresh salad that add heat if you want it or the birria meat that's got tons of flavor but no heat if that's not your thing either.

After driving around seeking for a breakfast joint. With a pack of picky eaters, including myself. We spotted this small cozy hideout. We were skeptical at first, but we decided to try it anyways. Needless to say, "Don't judge a book by its cover". We wandered in and immediately we were greeted by the friendly staff and the amazing aroma of a home cooked meal just like "Nana's house". Yummy... The menu is jam packed to satisfy everyone's cravings. The Cheese crisp was cheesy and crispy, enough for the family to share. You can tell that the carne asada burritos were freshly made and may I add BONUS on the burrito not falling apart when you bite into it. I don't know about you, but I like to eat my food not wear it. The menudo was traditional with all the trimmings. I saved the best for last. The best ones ever I may add! The mini bandidos (Chicken & Shredded Beef) and the mini chimis! HOLLY SMOKES! they were on fire. From the creamy dipping sauce to the red-hot sauce to the flakiness of the fried chimis. I was in Heaven. I never thought I would say this but these chimis hands down beat the chimis at Garcia's. Just saying...Needless to say, that by the end of our meal we were already planning on our next visit. read more

I went here the other night and had their Carne Asada Plate. This was fantastic. It came with rice, beans and their hot salsa was great. I was not so fond of the jalapeno salsa, but it was definitely hotter, which I like. The food was great, I got it to go. The only thing I wish I had was another tortilla or 2 to make extra tacos. Not a big deal as I usually have more at home, but there were not enough tortilla's for amount of food. Other than that, the food was great and I will be going back, especially since they now have Margaritas. read more

There was no line in the drive thru and my guess was that was because they went down-hill in food quality like most expensive places eventually do. Thought this is my last time thru because $20 for steak burrito and a drink. (Thank goodness for gift cards). The burrito was so unexpectedly great, that mid-burrito I'm planning on coming back tomorrow for the shrimp burrito. The burrito was huge, and I only ate half, so will be back in 2 days for shrimp. Incredible flavors, sauce and some (arugula?) lettuce in the burrito. I am NOT a lettuce person, but this dark green lettuce so complimented the burrito that I have to say you can never take it out. The Diet Coke was great, and the cup, for me was awesome.

We are aware that it is not an eat in place. Usually the food is great. Right on point. Today the food tasted good but was definitely on the cold side. I was concerned about this because I received an alert at 11:10am that my order was ready. Only problem is, I set my time for pick up at 1130. My husband picked up the order at 1127. He brought to me about 10 mins away. By the time we all sat down to eat, it had been sitting around for 30 mins. So needless to say, I am very frustrated. Not only is our food now cold, or Luke warm at best. This was so supposed to be something fun and it has turned into me having to leave a less than positive review for something that should have been great and easy.
