My boyfriend has tried this place out with co workers and he kept telling me he had to bring me! So we finally went this morning around 10ish. It was a really good breakfast. I got the French toast combo and I was happy with it. My boyfriend got a carne asada with chilaqulies and I'm not going to lie I kept stealing his food lol! The meat was really good and the chilaqulies were yummy! Next time I have to get what he got. I asked for coffee and sometimes diners can have crappy coffee so I was kind of hesitant but the coffee was really good and our waitress made sure to top it off when needed. Everyone is nice there and very welcoming. The decor is pretty cool too. I'm sure we will be going back :) read more

Used to love frequenting this place. Was my Favorite spot up until today. The place had literally 3 patrons and 1 of them was already leaving by the time we walked in. Sat down, ordered our drinks and the waitress saw someone walk in to the register and then walked away from our table as soon as we said we were ready to order. She walked over to the cash register, took the perosns order who walked in after us and that person ended up ordering the same thing as I did. He got not only his order, but 2 other plates along with it to go, walked out, and yet here we are waiting more than 35 minutes later and our food hasn't arrived. When I brought this to the waiters attention she didn't understand where she went wrong and decided to argue with me. Not sure where this place lost their customer service. Maybe if I was a man, then I would have gotten my order taken first! And not to mention that the arguing was distasteful. Last time I'll be here! read more

Served me a plate of grease and called it breakfast. This place used to be a great coffee shop but the the only part that remains is the sign. They really should change the name. Must miss. read more

I recently returned and got some TERRIFIC food again but this time minus the grease from my first trip here. Service has always been great here. I visited this place two days in a row and was not disappointed. I decided to give the breakfast burrito another shot and it was excellent. Second day I had the breakfast plate with eggs, home fries, ham, bacon, sausage & pancakes. Absolutely DELICIOUS! Will be back for lunch and or their dinner menu read more

I ordered a chicken enchailada and beef tamal platter which come with beans and rice. I loved it! Their food is good; well, from what I've tried I can see they have some skills lol. 5 stars for my plate, but I'm sure all they shit bomb... read more

Bonanza Restaurant - Chicken enchilada and beef tamal platter. Let me tell you; I loved it! Lol I'll be willing to try something different on their menu. - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Ridiculous large menu selection. Had the BLT lunch special with beef soup. Average sandwich, but the soup was a generous bowl of delicious vegetables and huge chunks of beef that took me back to my child hood. Atmosphere is western weird I would call it. I'll be back just for the soup. read more

This is a nice basic breakfast place. Prices are good and you get a lot of food. The pancakes are huge so a short stack is definitely enough to share. I had the hobo omelette which I really enjoyed. read more

bad service, food sucks big time... cooks dont seem to know what their doing in the kitchen. plates take a long time and food seems to just be thrown on the plate..no creativity... ordered molcajetes and rice and beans made it to table 15 minutes before the molcajetes... molcajetes both wrong... food was cold.. wrong..and waiter just looked at me when i said order was wrong and didn't bother to ask about fixing it...i was going to grade this a 1 star but the kareoke deserves a good grade. next time ill eat tacos before i get here and enjoy the kareoke... read more

Around 6am before going to work I ventured down south of 405 Fwy on Santa Fe Ave; I probably have never set foot in this part of town in my life and it felt like an adventure, very cool. The menu boasts Mexican, Seafood and Country cooking including several truckers' specials (I forgot what they were...). The atmosphere is nice cozy country theme interior with high ceiling; it's somber but also moody. The staff is friendly. They're open 24hrs on the weekends. The 3 egg breakfast was ok but not too memorable despite the large servings of cubed potatoes which I love (You get a choice of potatoes or hash browns). One let down were the two pork chops I ordered with the breakfast; they were different than what was pictured on the menu and appeared to be a cheaper cut, not much meat, lots of bones and fat, they kind of sat in my stomach like a lump the whole morning. Overall a nice place and if I'm in the area I'd go again except I'd pass on the pork chops. read more

I may have been the last order on the evening but my asada quesadilla was so greasy and so much oil in the container. Order via the Seamless app and requested extra guacamole but did not recieve any. Very disappointed read more

I'm not usually one to leave a review but I had to create an account so that I could leave one if I could rate 0 stars I would, that being said I ordered delivery and it took nearly two hours to get here when the food arrived we were disappointed, my coworker order asked for no vegetables and upon arrival her food was covered with vegetables (allergic to tomatoes and could not eat food) my breakfast burrito had little to no egg in it, barely a scrap of bacon, mushrooms or spinach and was filled with potatoes (more like a potato burrito), needless to say all the food ended up in the trash and we will never eat here or recommend this place!!! read more

Yummy food. The food is always good and portion too. Customer service is good. You get chips and salsa while you wait for your food I would suggest coming on a empty stomach. read more

I love their seafood avocado omelet. It's the only item I order when we come here for breakfast after church.

Havent had a bad experience ever awesome food, breakfast all day, lunch and dinner too. My mom loves it evertime i come see her we make a point to stop in. And u should too. read more

Bonanza Restaurant - Aesome breakfast all day bomb there lunch and dinner is awsome also. Youll walj out happy - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

This restaurant apparently is not vegan/vegetarian-friendly. Several items are listed as being vegetarian, but I was told that the beans are made with lard and the rice is made with chicken stock. read more

Horrible!! Got delivery, so I know some things will be cold upon arrival, so I was prepared. What I got was just atrocious! Ordered a tuna sand w no extra mayo- I got a sand so sopped in extra mayo I couldn't even hold the soggy mayo ladened bread. Ordered steak and eggs med rare, over med. both so charred and hard, the steak was like shoe leather. Awful! Never again. Had to choose a star, which it does not deserve. read more

Food was bomb service was excellent they aren't greedy with anything huge portions. Everything was good all good!!!! read more

Just returned from Bonanza. Checked out the White Board specials and settled on the BBQ Spare Ribs. The plate was served with 4 meaty Spare Ribs, French Fries, Salad, and Steamed Broccoli $8.99. Thumbs up on the plate. The BBQ sauce was not overly sweet and the ribs had lots of meat and great taste. I ended up taking half of it home to enjoy for lunch tomorrow. read more

I love this place! They always get my order correct. The ladies who serve us are always friendly. I was introduced by my loved one, then I introduced Bonanza to my whole family and they loved it too. I would suggest the machaca (eggs with shredded beef) the beans are delicious. Their horchata is great and I love their menudo! read more

First time here, my boyfriend decided to heck it out since we always drive by and just see the place from the car. Super friendly waiter and delicious food and my coffee was on pint just how I like it. read more

Bonanza Restaurant - Delicious French toast and my delicious coffee. - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Service from the waitresses is poor, especially Marisol. They don't come to refill drinks, or the chips and salsa, they bring you three napkins for a party of 6 and you have to ask for more about 12 times because they are so thin and cheap. I left a written message for the owner to call me to give him some feedback and he never contacted me so either he can care less of the poor service or was never given the message. Marisol had a bad attitude the entire time and never checked on our needs. Also I have ordered the chips and salsa for large events and they sell you bags of chips that are only filled halfway and they charge 15.00. Food is good but the service is horrible...I wish I could give this place no stars based on that. read more

Bonanza Restaurant - Bag filled half way,lady said she has to be able to roll down the bag and if she fills it to the top she can't...$15 for this and salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

We ordered delivery tonight. My husband ordered chicken fried steak that came dry-no gravy was included. I ordered ground beef enchiladas that came with shredded beef instead. We also ordered a fish taco that was completely missing from our order. We wanted dinner salads but couldn't find them on the menu so we ordered two green salads instead that where huge. We also ordered a large shrimp cocktail that needed lime or lemon wedges but none were included. The shrimp cocktail was kind of sweet. Also our hot food was pretty cold even though it was delivered before promised. This is the worse experience we have had ordering from Bonanza. Usually it is okay. I don't know if this being a Sunday night had anything to do with it or not. We might give Bonanza one more try but if we have a similar experience we won't order from here again. read more

The food was good and plentiful, but the table reeked of the dirty cloth that had been used to wipe it down earlier. I've passed by this place probably a million times since about 1980. I finally decided to try it. Its an older charming neighborhood eatery type place. They have reproduction vintage gas company signs and other memorabilia on the walls. I went on a Saturday morning, and there was a moderate and growing crowd with two waitresses holding down the fort. As soon as i sat down I smelled the stink coming off the clear plastic table cloths...dude...omg...wtf...I have a stronger sense of smell than most people I know, but i think it would have been hard for even someone with a blind nose to not notice. The letters on the coffee pot said FARMER BROTHERS...the coffee was ok, but a little mild. i ordered a corn beef hash...it came quickly...hash, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and white toast. Without tip the food was about 13 bucks...not that cheap, but not bad...i couldnt finish all my food and the tast was quite ok. In contrast, i think you pay the same or less at the nest in bellflower, you get much smaller portions there, but the food is of super high qualty... Anyway, i finished my food, and then all i could do was concentrate on the stench of the clear plastic table cloth that had probably been wiped down with a dirty black ass rag in dirty black ass water full of food particles and decaying bugs from everyone elses table. I paid and left, and then i had to use the bathroom...I debated going, because i was afaid of the stench...but i really had to go...so in i went. i was scared the bathroom would stink after the table coverings...but alas, the bathroom smelled very nicely of the strawberry air deodorizers that are frequently used in bathrooms. The bath smelled much better than the table cloths...I wondered why they couldn't use the strawberry fragrance in the dining area? If the table didnt stink, i would give this place a solid 4 stars. Too bad about the smelly ass table...my stomach churns uncomfortably when I think about it. EDIT..The first set of silverware was unusable...because there was a smudge or stain on the knife that wasnt quite cleaned....The second set of silverware i tried was ok...When i went to use the bathroom the floor smelled like the table cloths a little...did they use the floor moping water to wipe down the tables??? read more

I love this place. The food taste great and the portions are very generous. Great service too!!

Ordered today, late Sunday afternoon, hate grocery shopping so to avoid it, ordered food for two to go. Bonanza did not disappoint. Very nice folks, when I arrived I was offered a seat and water. Wait was not bad at all. Food was really good. Chargrilled steak: tender and seasoned just right. Came with hash browns: so very happy they did not taste of margarine and oil as primary flavor. Chicken burrito was huge. If it was for me, I would have gone with another protein. Last, but not least, parking is ample in their own lot. All in all, a great to go experience. read more

OMG what can i say this place is by FAR MY FAVORITE!! i live in Orange County but my boyfriend introduced me to his amazing lil place. Their food is so delicious The tostadas de pescado are BOMB!!! :) read more

Sunday afternoon lunch with my family can be quite challenging. We all have different opinions and taste buds. Mixed with strong and mule-headed personalities, it can be quite a pain in the ass to pick a spot to eat. It doesn't help that we get downright nasty when we're hungry... I've always seen this place but it never really picked my interest. It's in WESTside long beach where it may or may not be safe to be outside by yourself depending on the time of the day. It's an alright neighborhood but only if you're use to it....kinda like de-sensitized to my surrounding. Regardless, I picked this place cause it was different, never been, and I refused to eat anymore pasta. This place was a pleasant surprise walking in. It was welcoming, clean, warm-atmosphere with AC! and tv's...servers were polished and amicable. We were seated quickly with drinks and chips and salsa brought out immediately...i like.... I ordered the huevos rancheros breakfast (i love breakfast food!), my dad the shrimp cocktail, and my sis the chilaquiles breakfast. Everything was sooooooo good. We stopped speaking to each other the minute the food came. It hit all of Coco's right spots..... I think this is my new breakfast place....great prices, amazing mexican breakfast options, and the service was top-notch. You must come if you're in the da neighborhood...and invite while you're at it Amor del bueno, C read more

This place was my #1 place to eat until they changed management. They food was good now it's just ok. They have Mexican karaoke on certain nights and it's just so annoying; 1 it's only in Spanish, 2 it's the same guy singing and he doesn't take breaks. The syrup is the best I'm not sure if it's imported or something but it's really good. Don't go here unless u like mediocre dishes and loud obnoxious Mexican music. read more

We love this place! We came here late one Friday night / early Saturday morning. Found it on Yelp while looking for a decent 24-hour joint in Long Beach. Bonanza did not disappoint! The waitress was incredibly friendly and accommodating. My husband has a thing about refills, and she made sure he always had coffee in his cup. He had the ham steak and eggs with home fries, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream - this is actual whipped cream, not whipped topping. So yum. Prices were very reasonable - our bill came to less than $20! She offered us chips and salsa - while I wasn't feeling it, my husband was - and I am so glad he ordered them. Their salsa is perfection! Fresh and tasty, with a nice bite to it. I'm really picky about salsa - this was better than the salsa at the last Mexican restaurant I ate at. I also feel the need to point out that the dining area and bathroom were nice and clean. We now have awesome 24-hour places to eat at in all of the areas we frequent. (Should note, however, that Bonanza is only 24 hours on Fri/Sat.) So glad to have found this place - will definitely be back, and recommend to others. read more

It seems that this place gets better and better every year. The owner likes to change up the menu to cater to the diverse set of locals who come in; longshoremen, bikers, police and fire personnel, and an adverse community of local Filipinos, Latinos, and polynsians. Today i had the longshoreman special wwhile last week the cook was coo enough to make Filipino chicken adobo. read more

Great atmosphere , great service , ok price , Great food ! must try the blu cheese chicken salad w garlic bread , delicious !

I grew up a few blocks from this place, then I moved a few blocks closer! Its one of those places that is a part of my life. Through the years as I evolved to the man I am now, Bonanza has always been there. I remember eating dinner after my 6th grade graduation. Trying to impress the girls in Jr. High by taking them here for lunch on Saturdays Then going to eat dinner after every High School football game (unless it was a road game). During my college years, I went here after a late night of clubbing (I mean studying). Now, I just go here when I feel like having a good meal! read more

I used to go to this restaurant as a kid with my family after church and I enjoyed their food back then. One day while I was at work, my coworkers and I were looking for a breakfast & lunch delivery spot on the Eat 24 app. We came across Bonanza. We were impressed with their variety of choices on the menu. They have fresh juices and all of their food is delicious! Some of our favorite dishes are the carne asada, chilaquiles, and eggs breakfast, caldo de res (beef soup), and tostada de camarón! They always deliver on time and are patient & very kind. read more

We have eaten here on numerous occasions, and the food has consistently been very good. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Mexican or American, they serve great tasting food in generous portions. So why only three stars? When we visited tonight, after we sat down, ordered our drinks, and were looking over our menus, the music started to blare so loudly that we couldn't hear each other speak. Even as we shouted to each other, we couldn't understand what the other person was saying. When we raised the issue with our server, we were told that it was because it was "karaoke night". Now I have done karaoke before and I always thought that the point was for the music to play in the background while the singer displayed his, or her, vocal talent. NOT to drown out the sound of absolutely everything else in the vicinity. I swear that a commercial jetliner could have flown directly overhead, and would have gone unnoticed. There wasn't even anyone singing to the music that was rattling my rear molars. It was after 8:00 in the evening, and getting a bit chilly outside, but we were told that we could sit outside if we wanted. Umm, no thanks. I would prefer to eat my meal without shivering, AND without going deaf. So we asked for the bill for our drinks (which they waived), and went elsewhere for dinner. While walking to our car, I searched the outside of the restaurant, but couldn't find anything advising that they were having "karaoke night". I definitely recommend the food at Bonanza, but if you hope to have any chance of having a conversation during your meal (and avoid hearing loss), I suggest you call ahead to make sure they're not having an impromptu concert before you go. read more

I've been here several times and each time was terrible. On my last visit I ordered the bacon cheeseburger combo. I don't know what was worse, the hard hamburger bun or the cheap hamburger patty that had absolutely no flavor. Definitely not worth the $9.95 price tag. Not even close. Last time coming here you're better off going to jack in the box read more

My Twin and I are skinnyphat girls! We both LOVE to eat! We also really appreciate great tasting food as well! We made our order for delivery! Jose took our order and also delivered our food! Great customer service! I ordered a combination plate which had an chicken enchilada , a shredded beef taco and chili reliano with rice @ beans! The food was so good I had to yelp about it! read more

Really sad to see the Yelp discount doesn't work unless you spend $25-- which you don't find out until after the damage has been done...

Very poor quality ingredients and to make that worse Carne asada was very over cooked so dry and hard.

This is a really awesome coffee shop/diner. You can get bacon and eggs, Burgers, huevos rancheros, biscuits and gravy , machaca breakfact burritos. This place a great variety for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can get Coffee or Beer. Old school decorations with a really nice staff. Great hidden gem in Long Beach. read more

Great food n gets you full. I alway enjoy chile verde huevos rancheros. It was awesome.
