    Bonitas is a small casual Mexican Restaurant located in North Glendale. They offer some alcohol, breakfast, soups, a variety of tacos, burros, salads, combination plates, Birria, Birria Ramen, a kids menu, desserts and more! Ordering is slightly disjointed. Half the menu is on a wall and the the other half a menu is behind the counter. You order, pay, seat yourself, and someone runs out your order. My husband ordered a variety of street tacos (most were ONLY $1.50),.......also a birria taco, and rice and beans. I tried the Birria Ramen. Everything was at least good but to us some things stood out more than others. Our favorites were the carnitas, adobada, and the birria taco and Birria Ramen. These were all tasty very flavorful GOOD FOOD. The man at the counter was very nice and helpful. The restaurant seemed clean and parking was easy because they are located at the end of a strip mall with a parking lot.

    This Mexican eatery is very casual, small but not cramped, the prices are good and the food is okay - quite average in my opinion. The wait for the tacos I ordered took longer than I had expected, considering the place was quiet when I was there. It's across the street from ASU West so it was what you'd pretty much expect for an eatery in a college area.

    My wife and I have ordered take out from bonitas a few time. Prices are good and food is decent. Only problem is that my favorite dish - the Birria tacos - don't really travel well. I've never had them at the restaurant so I can't really judge the quality of the dine in experience, but by thine I get home with my order the taco shells are always a bit soggy. That said, the tacos are stuffed with a generous amount of meat and the consome dipping sauce is flavorful. We also frequently order the flautas which actually do travel quite well. They're also generously stuffed and somehow always crispy despite being buried under a heap load of toppings. Recently my wife ordered an enchilada style burrito which she wasn't super happy with. The enchilada sauce is a red sauce base which isn't her favorite and the whole thing was still kind of dry. Overall, this place is decent if you're in the Glendale area and jonesing for Birria and other Mexican food staples.

    Bean/Cheese burrito + taco combo

    My wife and I got Bonitas via delivery last night and judging from the rest of the reviews, I really wish we had gone into the restaurant or at the very least gotten takeout ourselves. Don't get me wrong. The food was good, but when you've got your food held hostage in a styrofoam container being driven lazily around the city by an Uber Eats driver - it's not the restaurant, it's the delivery. I went with the bean/cheese burrito + taco combo. After the hot food is placed in the styrofoam delivery container and then wrapped up tightly in a plastic bag and then driven casually from Point A to Point B by the Uber Eats driver, the food is essentially continuing to steam itself in the container. This made the taco fall apart when I attempted to pick it up. It made the rice soggy. It made the tortilla of my burrito feel chewy. I don't think this is any fault of Bonitas. I'm sure the food would have appeared fresher and tasted fresher had we eaten in vs. gotten delivery. All in all, I'll likely be back to try Bonitas again. I want to give them a fair shot as since they've gotten a lot of positive reviews, I'm blaming this mediocre experience on the fact that we had our dinner delivered.

Everything was really good but in my opinion the cabeza was the standout. We also had horchata which was great as well. The tacos came out super quickly and the service was solid. I asked for their spiciest salsa since I've got a high tolerance and what was out at the bar wasn't quite enough for me. They actually brought me one from behind the counter that was both really flavorful and seriously spicy. Overall great experience and definitely our new go to taco spot.

    Food: 4-stars - The only reason for the -1 star is because they do not have any chicken options and…read moretheir guac is liquidy with zero flavor. Their pickled red onions are also flavorless. Otherwise the carne asada, lengua and tripa tacos were all delicious and generously portioned! They have grilled jalapeños, and a self-serve garnish bar with 4 different types of salsas, pickled red onions, sliced cucumbers, shredded cabbage, diced onions and chopped cilantro, lime, and their liquidy guac. We came back already for their crunchy tripas and will continue to visit for our taco/burrito fixes. Service: 5-stars - Open kitchen behind the service counter allows you to see how they cook their meats over the charcoal grill. Our order came out pretty quick. 10-15 mins max. It's a fast casual spot so open seating, no host/waiters but there are workers that clean the dining area. Ambiance: 4-stars - Nothing special but clean and open dining areas. Multiple TVs for your viewing pleasure along with an outdoor patio area for outdoor dining. Overall 4-stars - I will say, after ordering for takeout last week, the best experience is to dine-in. The tripas were not as crunchy when taking home to eat. However, if you like your tripas crunchy like I do, dine-in and eat fresh is the best. Tacarbon satisfied our taco craving but they also offer cheese crisps, burritos and plates that include tortillas and beans. Pretty good overall, but definitely still room for improvements - especially for the premium price point. Definitely recommend to check out if you haven't already. It's probably going to be our new go-to spot for Mexican food.
