    My favorite place in Baja to go whenever I drive down. Always make it a point to visit whenever we are in Mexico! Great restaurant, great drinks, great view, great beach. You can't go wrong spending an entire day here. Love this place!!

If you have to use the restroom you have to literally walk through the kitchen it lowkey feels like you're visiting your homie's aunties and uncles while they're cooking in the back Ordered the Tom Kha which was creamy, flavorful, hit the soul. Crispy south chicken was alright, not a banger but not bad. I'd still come back though because now I gotta try that duck larb. For Bonita, this is honestly one of the better Thai spots around.

I was in awe of their crab pad Thai which was delicious. It was saucey and balanced sweet and salty. I loved the add tartness from the lime too. Actually what was the star of the menu were the tom yum chicken wings. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The flavor was unique and savory. We were excited to try the Massaman curry. It was a little underwhelming. Tasted like the green curry with brown sauce. I thought it would be more nutty. The ribeye was tight and rubbery. Thought the service was okay. Nothing outstanding. It was unclear whether we ordered at the cashier or by server. We ended up ordering with the server.

Everything we got was as good as it was in San Diego metro. We ordered takeout. Everything was packaged securely. Papaya salad was fresh and just the right marinade. Drunken noodles with chicken was as expected, but with a generous protein serving. Penang beef was their specialty, and was one of the best Penang curries I've had. Looking forward to trying more dishes!

    I ordered through DoorDash and selected that our meals be prepared mild. Unfortunately, the dishes…read morearrived extremely spicy--far beyond what would be considered mild--which made them difficult to enjoy and, for us, essentially inedible. That said, the food had a very good flavor profile, and it's clear that the restaurant has potential. The ingredients seemed fresh, and the overall taste was promising aside from the excessive heat level. I was initially inclined to give a 2-star rating because the spice level significantly impacted our dining experience. However, because the flavors were enjoyable and I believe the issue can be corrected, I'm giving 4 stars instead. My suggestion to the restaurant is to pay closer attention to customers' spice-level options. When a customer orders "mild," it should truly be mild. There is definitely room for improvement, and with better consistency in honoring special requests, I believe this restaurant could provide a much better experience.
