    Chimichanga
    Jeff B.

    Authentic, clean, quick, friendly and good. What else can you ask for in a taco place? We enjoyed everything we ordered from the chips, tacos, empanadas to the chimichangas. Really good and we would visit again.

    a plate of chips and a bowl of salsa
    Stephanie E.

    Very disappointed in this place. The waitress was mopping with a bleach solution which was very strong smelling. Using mops, buckets of chemicals and Lysol wipes with her bare hands before picking up our plates to serve us. The food took a very long time and I had to track someone down to get an additional item. The salsa is served with plates instead of bowls so it's almost impossible to eat. The food was bland and nothing special. More expensive and took longer than most Mexican places.

    Taco Tuesday carryout
    Jonathan B.

    This tucked-away treasure has been consistent, a good value, and tasty, three things that are hard to come by. Their taco Tuesday deal is my favorite, I keep coming back for their chorizo. The staff is masked with gloves, friendly, and always quick with my order. For lunch or dinner, it's a great spot. Their tacos come with cucumber, lime, and two sauces on the side. The toppings are classic: onion and cilantro. All cooked perfectly, and from my limited perspective it is authentic. I've ordered in-store and on the phone, both were easy. Inside there are distanced tables. Next Tuesday, go try it out for sure!

    Torta cubana

    Fantastic food! Great service and selection. Highly recommended I found the food to be fresh and authentic. Prices are great as well.

    Carne asada and Pollo asada tacos
    Johnny H.

    Clean, nice staff and tucked away in a shopping center true. The menu prices seem to differ from online, on paper menu and television menu in store each getting higher. After paying I was told it would be about 20min, but the entire restaurant was empty besides me. Only 1 customer came in to pick up an order during my wait. 20min later I have my food, no chips. The street tacos taste pretty good, but not overly special in any way.

    Tacos are too good over here
    Wael D.

    I used to come her all the time when I was a student at coastal and now that I graduated I always make it a point to come by here and get myself some tacos before I leave town. I've brought plenty of friends here to try the food and it hasn't let any of them down, even the vegetarians! The tacos are incredible, the chips are incredible, the tortas are amazing, and the people that work here are friendly. Definitely try this place out if you want good authentic food!

    Delicious burrito, mole enchilada, and tacos

    Being I seem to only post 1 star reviews, here's a better end. I love this place, and this is my go to Mexican food in the area. The workers are lovely, food is great, and so is pricing. I've maybe only had one not so great time here out of At least 30 great times. I would advise people to give this little place a try, and if you want to customize your item in any way they can do it. As of my 4 years here this has been the only genuinely good Mexican food I've had yet.

    Ordered Chimi for take out. Not deep fried as it should be, but mushy. Whole purpose of Chimi is the crispy tortilla. Very disappointed

    Bonfire Taqueria might sound like your typical Mexican spot--but don't let the name fool you. When…read moreI first mentioned it to my wife, she was curious enough to say, "Let's try it." That spontaneous decision turned into one of our favorite discoveries. We had just moved from Virginia to Conway and were still getting a feel for the area, so everything felt new. The restaurant offered both indoor and outdoor seating, but the real draw? A peaceful view of the Waccamaw Riverwalk. Sitting outside, overlooking the water, we instantly relaxed--it was the perfect welcome to our new town. Then came the food--and wow. We were blown away. I ordered the seafood sampler loaded with shrimp, oysters, catfish, tater tots, and coleslaw. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. My wife went with the pulled pork dinner, complete with classic sides, pickles, and Texas toast. We swapped bites and couldn't stop raving about how good everything was--especially for the price. Coming from Virginia, I thought I knew BBQ--ketchup-based and familiar. But this was something else entirely. That rich, tangy mustard-based South Carolina barbecue completely changed my expectations. It was a delicious surprise that instantly made me a fan. Our waitress let us know they served brunch on weekends--so back we went. Same riverside view, same laid-back vibe, but a whole new level of indulgence. I ordered the Brunch Chimichanga--crispy, savory perfection--while my wife went all-in on the Brunch Burger: French toast, sausage beef patty, over-easy egg, bacon, American cheese, maple syrup, powdered sugar, and hashbrown casserole. Yes, it was as incredible as it sounds. Now, Bonfire Taqueria isn't just a place we tried--it's a place we return to again and again. Great food, relaxing views, and a welcoming atmosphere make it one of our go-to spots to unwind, sip a drink, and soak in everything we love about downtown Conway.

So we ate and rushed out because our butts were sore! Didn't even order drinks. Suggestions: *Get comfortable chairs for customers. *Take that meat off the smoker a little sooner.
