Its so nice to finally have found a good Mexican restaurant on our side of town!!!!
We have passed by Bonito Michoacan multiple times over the last couple of years, and we finally decided to stop in on Saturday.
We came in as they were opening, and they already had a little bit of a line forming!
We were seated right away, and given a few minutes to peruse the menu before having chips, salsa, and beans dropped off.
We decided to order:
A cucumber lime margarita
A guava margarita
The Gorditos de Camaron
The enchiladas with mole (chicken and beef)
The tacos: pastor, lengua, chorizo.
The drinks were absolutely amazing. The lime cucumber was light and refreshing. The guava was sweet and delicious. Very happy with both.
All of the food was incredible, but here are some highlights:
the gorditos de camaron: I have never seen so much shrimp in a single appetizer before. This was absolutely packed to the gills with shrimp. They were cooked to perfection, extremely well seasoned, and just perfect. I honestly would return just for this. Crispy, delicious...I'm drooling just thinking about it again!
Our entrees came with fideo soup, which was lovely. Its one of my favorite things ever, and this one held up.
The enchiladas: the mole was amazing. Sadly, we got 2 chicken instead of 1 chicken 1 beef, but mistakes happen, and the chicken was really good.
The tacos: OMG Yum. The pastor was my favorite, but I also really loved the chorizo. The lengua was not my favorite BUT: I've never had it in chunks, I've always had shredded lengua. Chunks are sadly an off-putting texture for me, but that's a me problem, not a Bonita problem. The flavor was VERY good. If you enjoy lengua and don't mind the texture of chunks, I think you'll like this. :)
Service was amazing. Our waiter and the person delivering food and bussing were both incredible and attentive. We were super happy with the service.
I absolutely cannot wait to go back and try more things on their menu!
Huge thanks to the staff for a great first visit.
