Came here on a road trip. Lone pine is my little piece of heaven since I was a little girl and now I get to take my babies to create beautiful memories. Lone pine is the hidden gem of the Sierra Nevada's. I need to live here. We stopped in for lunch and were treated very kindly and service was so so good. Very attentive and fast. The food was also so so so good I loved the torta sooo much and the crunchy tacos have the PERFECT CRUNCH Such a cute small town feel with people who live in town stopping by to chit chat Stop in and support read more

Great ground beef tacos !! Kids liked their food as well (green cheese enchilada and carne asada plate read more

Been coming here for years. Their burrito is so good! We always get the Cali burrito and their quesadilla. Friendly staff. It's August and a weekday, there's only one kind server and a few workers in the kitchen, so don't come hungry. The place is ample and clean and has a great view of Mt. Whitney. We recommend and we'll be back! read more

California Burrito was insanely great. especially after a long drive. Gonna go sleep in Alabama hills nice and satisfied now

One of the worst excuses for beef fajitas I've had. More like chunks of beef in a stew. Not fajitas at all. Not much beef.

Service, food we liked everything , we will go back someday , van I'm from Texas, Mexican good here is a little different then the way

Wow! Awesome staff and food! Thank you Rachel for being the most awesome person! So nice! Very nice open space. All staff were amazing. read more

Great food. Came hungry and skeptical because of the low rating - totally underserved. This place is closer to a 5. Wonderful service, fresh food (strawberries got delivered as we were sitting there), frosty mug for my lager, wonderful menu items. All 3 of us were very happy and we all got something different. Muy Bueno! read more

Fajitas were not good at all!!!! The worst we have ever had. Would never go there again! Beer was nice and cold. Waitress was nice. read more

RUN to Bonanza! This was such a great spot to go to. Food is great, and the service is fantastic. Go see Rachel, she's super friendly!!! read more

Let me start with the disclaimer that I'll still come back given there are so few food options in Lone Pine. This review is to serve as a heads up to adjust your expectations if you're in town during a busy time. The food was maybe 2.5 stars at best? It arrived prepared adequately, rice was cooked, but the veggies were likely cooked from frozen. It's the desert so I get that it's probably difficult to maintain fresh produce but this is a restaurant... if I wanted frozen food, I would have bought something from the market to microwave in my room. The wait. THE WAIT WAS HORRENDOUS. We were seated for over 15 minutes before getting water and the place was not busy at all. There were 2 servers with 3 tables were occupied at the time. I spotted 3 or 4 people in the kitchen. Our table had 5 people who ordered one entree each. It took over an hour to get our food!! The service was okay. The server was friendly but not attentive. We had empty water and empty chips. I'll just say: this is a place you can get food that is cooked. You won't get sick from it but you'll have to wait an unreasonable amount of time for your food. We were there for nearly 2 hours in total where over an hour was spent waiting for our orders to arrive. The employees were nice.... It's just that we needed it to be an early night and this didn't help. I don't believe people would appreciate waiting this long for service, drinks, and food. Cool decor by the bar if that matters to you. read more

5 stars for food and service! We had dinner here recently after completing the High Sierra Trail (75 mile backpacking trip finished with summit of Whitney)! Needless to say we were hungry! We both got veggie super burritos, French fries and extra guacamole. The food came out quickly and was delicious! The waitress Sarah was so friendly and helpful and definitely a 10/10!!! read more

Back here again! More than a year ago, we were traveling through Lone Pine when we stopped for lunch at Bonanza Mexican Restaurant. We enjoyed our meals, so this time around, while visiting Death Valley National Park, we craved Mexican food and decided to stop here for a meal again. Bonanza is a family-owned restaurant, and the people serving the customers are amicable. When we walked in this time, two young ladies were attending the floor, and they were both very welcoming and friendly. When it came to ordering our dinner, we could not remember what we had ordered the last time we were here, so we settled for Carne Asada, Fajitas de Cameron, and the Cobb Salad. Then I got curious and dug out some photos from that trip. To my surprise, we all had ordered the same exact dishes and had sat at the same table! :- ) Dad and I enjoyed a cold beer each while waiting for the food, as we usually do. My mom loved her Fajitas de Cameron, and I loved my salad. My Dad enjoyed his Carne Asada but thought the meat was chewy. I tried a piece, and it was tasty. It was tough because the beef was from a grass-fed/free-range cow. Bonanza Mexican Restaurant is an excellent place to eat a filling meal if you are in Lone Pine. The quality of the food is good, and the service is excellent. read more

Irene was a sensational server today. The beef wet burrito with mole sauce was mouth watering. The chips with home made salsa were crisp and incredible. Wonderful clean bathroom and always a great stop. The frosted beer mugs are a perfect treat for a travelling Aussie! We missed seeing Rachel, another spectacular server! read more

Wonderful tried and true Sonora Mexican food. Awesome burgers. The Bonanza hits all the basics. Better than expected: solid 4 star. Wait staff was wonderful read more

Bonanza fit the bill for a nice, no-frills lunch during our camping trip to Alabama Hills. It offers a full section of vegetarian menu items (yay!), complimentary chips and salsa, and a beer & wine selection (although no margaritas). The good-- My husband and I both ordered a beer and it was served with a ice cold mug. The salsa was fresh and tasty, and the chips were hot and crispy. The average-- My Huevos Rancheros left something to be desired. A little flavor lacking. And the Ranchero sauce was more like Pico de Gallo, not a smooth salsa. The Ehh-- Service was pleasant, if a little slow. It would have been nice to be offered another beer. It was a hot day, and trust me, we needed it! Overall, Bonanza is just fine for a little meal while strolling through town. read more

Old Mexican place with great food and a big price tag, but service is really slow. And They charge too much for a small container of salsa to go. ($8) read more

Salsa here was awesome! The chips were super fresh, large portions! Queso wasn't my favorite it was very thick and kind of lacking flavor but the meals here were great overall! read more

We had a delicious late lunch with excellent service on our way through town yesterday. The chile relleno was perfectly prepared, the food came out quick, and the server was attentive and friendly. The large windows framed a very windy afternoon outside and made for a nice cozy atmosphere. read more

The service was great, and the food was fair. The waitress was very knowledgeable and nice. We stopped by before the hike, so it was just fine. Parking: It is all street parking around this area. But you will always find parking. I may be back if my friends would like to go. read more

We were there yesterday early afternoon, the young lady that served us was just a pocket full of sunshine! She was just a delight! The food was as excellent. Unfortunately we didn't get her name. We were not the only one who noticed, an older gentleman came over as he was leaving, (while she was taking are order and said to her) "you are wonderful " she definitely deserves a raise! read more

When in Lone Pine stop into Bonanza! Wow! Not many may be able to relate but for me personally the food reminded me of when I used to visit my grandparents. grandpa would grill up some fajitas on the flat grill and grandma made her creamy beans and fluffy rice. I had the shrimp fajitas. they were grilled with bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, mucho sabor So gooood Reminder of grandpas cooking Our road trips consist of dreamy scenery and local mom and pop restaurants Go in and enjoy the delicious food and great customer service read more

The service was good but other than the salsa their food was awful. We ordered a cheese enchilada, chicken taco, and a tamale. The cheese enchilada and tamale were not eatable and the taco was not good. read more

This place is alright. Our server was engaged and wonderful, asking us about our day with enthusiasm and a lovely smile. The food was hot, plentiful, and sensibly priced. If you're tired and hungry after a day in the Eastern Sierra, you could do a lot worse than the Bonanza. read more

First, it's clean and comfortable. We were greeted right away, seated, given menus and homemade salsa and chips. We dine here when we want to have really good Mexican food. I ordered the tilapia tacos. Those tacos are my new favorite. Packed with flavor! The refried beans are absolutely delicious. I ask for no rice every time so I get more beans. You can't go wrong with a wet burrito, my hubby's favorite. I love the chimichangas too. Your food is cooked in the kitchen. It is not frozen. Oh their chicken taco soup is very tasty too. I honestly have never had a meal I didn't enjoy here. The wait staff is very good too. Service is so nice, I tip extra. read more

Food is just ok , wait is super long as always . It had been about 3 years I had not eaten at this place because the service has horrible before but the choices are very limited in lone pine. Luckily they at least hired nice waiters . I did not get the name of the young lady (wearing glasses ) but super nice ,great energy and great customer service! And our waiter Oscar super professional! Again still just ok food as always but oh well, at least now they have great staff! 8.17.24 read more

Glad we stopped here! They have really Good food and even better service. Would definitely come by again.

3.5 Stars - Overall a really solid place with a great menu! Definitely above average for a Mexican food place and the service was awesome. Food was a bit cold but it wasn't too much of an issue. Would stop by again in Lone Pine! read more

Name- perfect. Ambiance-exactly as it should be. Service- amazing!!! Food- oh yeah. View- can't be beat. San Diego aging hipster, Colorado dude, and picky 7 year old approved. read more

Service was truly amazing! we loved the bubbly environment but the food was terrible to say the least. The beans & chicken were SO salty. The beef and chicken was hard to chew because of how dry it was. They also didn't really specify how the chicken came (it was shredded chicken and they didn't say so, we thought it would be cut chicken breast) The food had little to no flavor. we felt bad leaving the food but it really wasn't enjoyable. All the sauces tasted like they came from a can.:( we've been on a road trip from San Diego for 3 days with a family of 12 and it was the priciest restaurant we've been to on our trip . The price really does did not line up with the food. Wouldn't be back again :( read more

Driving through, we chose to stop at this Mexican restaurant in Lone Pine to grab a quick lunch on our way back home to Reno. We were seated rather quickly although the server wasn't exceptionally friendly. She took our orders and got the job done, but there wasn't really anything personable about her.. The food was alright, the salsa was a bit watering although it had good flavor and the enchilada sauce tasted more like bbq sauce than a traditional enchilada sauce. The tamale I got was a bit dry, but the meat had good flavor. Overall, I guess the food was passable if there isn't really a better option, but the prices were extremely high for the portion sizes and I wouldn't order the enchilada again for sure. read more

If you stop here the advice I would give is to make sure you tell them you enjoy spiced food (unless you don't) and ask them to make sure the order is well seasoned. Which does not have to be mouth burning hot. We did'nt. The breakfast burrito and Huevos a la Ranchera were pretty tasteless, as was the salsa provided with the chips. I was warned the Huevos a la Mexicana would be spicy; it was the sole dish enjoyed at the table...but in reality it was tame, but it did have flavor. Coffee was just ok. Kind of a shame, service was good and there are numerous vegetarian (not vegan) options. read more

We wanted to order Mexican food from a local taco truck known as (Castro's Tacos) but they were closed so this was our second option. We drove to the restaurant and ordered there. They told us that our food would be ready in 30 minutes so we ordered and went shopping while we waited. You can eat inside if you would like to. We saw one person sitting inside. We ordered 8 beef tacos, espinich enchilada, and shrimp quesadilla. They gave us a bag of chips and salsa as well. It cost us $68.32 for our dinner. The food tasted alright. We have had much better. read more

The epitome of sub mediocrity. Checked all the boxes yet still left me wanting more. No authentic Mexican food here. Overpriced and under seasoned. It truly makes me sad having a place like this having so many 4 and 5 star reviews knowing the vast majority of people will stop here only once on their journey and accept this sad excuse of Mexican food the area has to offer. All in all, would not recommend if that wasn't evident. read more
