When I was pregnant all I craved were churros and they delivered! The owners are also really kind. Support local business!

Amazing spot we saw on Chronicle and had to try it! Wonderful empanaditas with spicy chorizo or carnitas!! They were so fresh and hot, with delicious flavors and fantastic sauces to put on them. And the pupusas ? Probably the best in Massachusetts. And we have tried them in Central America. Definitely try the hibiscus (Jamaica) agua fresca!!! Another best I tried here. Great family recipe with a hint of cinnamon. The guy who owns it is often there & such a nice guy. And the employees are really nice too! They got a liquor license and are slowly making the space into a place you can grab a bite and a drink. Well with the trip to Eastie to try out this place! read more

" Fresh & delicious Latin cuisine " I live in newton ma . However I grew up in east Boston ( eastie ). When I am in eastie I eat here . I either dine in or take out . Good vibing spot , food is fresh , delicious and good portion size(s). Also a great safe , place to gather with friends to have some cocktails. They have trendy ones as well as classics . You can pair them with the food and you'll have a ball with your friends. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I feel like I am eating at my family's house here . Only I don't have to clean up after I eat , lol. I hope you have the opportunity to try this place . Parking is difficult but manageable; definitely don't let that stop you from trying this place . read more

Known for their catering services but had the opportunity to order in. I enjoyed everything! They have various barrira options and I'm sure each are as delicious as the original taco option. Flavorful, juicy, but slight warning they have a lot of cheese. Drinks were refreshing as well! read more

I ordered takeout from Bono on a Saturday night. My order was ready in about 30 minutes. It was the best meal I've had in a long time! We ordered the birria tacos, shrimp tacos, fried yucca, elote, and chips with salsa and guacamole. Everything was seasoned to perfection and so flavorful. I've never had fried yucca so delicious. I'll definitely order from Bono again! read more

Came here tonight with my friend and we absolutely loved the food, the staff and vibes!

She brought us exactly what we wanted and we thought that was really nice from them! The food was delicious and the papas locas are amazing too! Will definitely come back! Thank you! read more

Bono, what a hidden gem. This place is so cute inside! We walked by so many times without stopping by and what a mistake that was. The people that work there are genuinely happy that you are visiting them and are really warm. They have tables in the back and can accommodate. The food came out fast and was delicious as well. Their soft drinks are pretty cool too but on the sweet side for sure. read more

All I can say about this bakery is WOW!!! Case del Pandebono definitely exceeded my expectations all the way from Virginia! Being in quarantine, I really wanted to make my best friend's birthday special. I did extensive research on bakeries in the Boston area and I was really impressed with their cakes I saw on Facebook. I reached out to the bakery, and the response was prompt and friendly. I was in touch with Fernando, who was very informative with ordering a birthday cake. I went with the coconut tres leches cake. I was a little worried how everything would turn out since I was ordering from out of state but Fernando was very reassuring and detailed the entire process. I was able to pay over the phone and confirmed the delivery information. The night prior to the delivery, I sent a message to make sure everything was ready to go and he sent me a picture of what the cake looked like. Amazing!! And the day of, he sent me of a picture of the delivery. He even called the birthday girl when the cake was delivered. She called me and was so happy to see the special surprise! She said that Fernando was super friendly with a birthday greeting and delivery. I sent her the bakery's information and she is looking forward to visiting them soon. Next time I'm in Boston, they are going to be my first stop, so that I can thank them in person! Not only do they have beautiful cakes, but their food looks delicious too and I am a huge fan of Colombian food! I am so grateful they were able to make this happen during this unprecedented time, and that I was able to depend on them for their prompt and pleasant service! They truly went above and beyond. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! read more

Following up on a recent tres leches and churro order that were the highlight of our event, we decided to stop in for breakfast on their gorgeous sidewalk patio. We enjoyed a Molletes sandwich, Bavarian cream-filled churro, chocolate cream donut and a breakfast sandwich with chorizo and egg. The bread and pastry is so fresh and tasty. With sandwich orders, you receive side sauces. The salsa verde is spectacular! The patio is lovely and the staff and owner are simply the nicest people and are very accommodating. Most importantly, the restaurant is very clean and food is stored well. Please support this wonderful small business, you won't be disappointed! read more

I walked past this place a few times seeing some amazing looking cakes through the window before I made a last minute cake purchase in October for a friends birthday. The cake was INCREDIBLE! Tres leches on the inside (I didn't realize you could make a large beautiful cake tres leches- what a combo) since then we have gotten take out to go 10x or more mostly getting pastries or breakfast burritos. One day my husband came home with something that looked like a bagel but smelled like cheese. I asked him what it was and he said the guy checking him out said it just came out of the oven and that he should try it. I'm so glad he did because that's how we were introduced to pandebono. We got all of our kids daycare teachers gift certificates to this place to support them during Covid and spread the word. Super nice people, delicious place. read more

There's so many nice things to be said about Pandebono. Our neighbors have a close relationship with the owner and asked to make me something special for Hanukkah. They took their delicious fried donuts and stuffed them with jelly - a Columbian Jewish love fest, if you will! I went recently for lunch and snagged the birria tacos. I stuffed all 4 tacos in my mouth at the same time - just kidding, but I really did scarf them down. They're a fried taco filled with cheese and bbq beef, served with a dipping sauce (sort of like a soup or gravy) and rice. They were HEAVENLY. You can also order these as a taco or torta. There's pastry cases filled with all sorts of breads and pastries, so there's much to try! read more

We came here with a huge group for St Patty's day. They gave us free shots, were incredibly kind, and food was amazing. It felt like they enjoyed our experience just as much as we did. Great place! read more

I bought 2 dozen bunuelos, Colombian small fried cheese balls. At $.0.95 each, they cost $.50 less than what La Sultana Bakery charges. And these were fried freshly for me right before my pick up time. These were soft and cheesy. So good. I also bought 2 Pan Debono at $2.25 each. When I warmed these up with microwave later, they were soft and delicious. In fact, I liked these even more than the bunuelos. read more

The level of customer service when placing the catering order was absolutely top notch! I've had the unique experience of dining there and the food is clearly made with attention to authenticity and quality ingredients. You won't find a better Mom & Pop Latin restaurant, let alone catering company. The food arrived hot and fresh, right on time. Highly recommend for your next event or date night. read more

The best homemade birthday cakes! We get cakes from Pan De Bono for every family occasion. He made custom Minecraft and unicorn cakes for my twins' 5th birthday. Fernando's cakes look beautiful and taste even better. One was vanilla with lemon frosting - a crowd favorite. The other one of the best chocolate cakes you've ever had. Fernando took a custom order this week and made the kids' birthday so special. Thank you!! read more

We have passed by this place for years without actually trying it. What a hidden gem!! We stopped by for breakfast and were mind blown. The menu has tons of options so I am sure there is something for everyone. They also have great coffee and a selection of fresh juices and smoothies. I got the breakfast tacos and could not get enough of it. I wiped the plate clean and the green sauce and beans with them were delicious. Can't wait to visit again and again!!! read more

If I'm disappointed in anything, it's that I didn't try Bono sooner. I live nearby and kept putting off trying it, but I'm so glad I did. Workers are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is incredible. They have some of the best pupusas I've ever had on the east coast, and all of their birria items are so delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Pandebono went above and beyond to create a gorgeous cake for my daughter's baptism. Several people commented that it was more beautiful than their wedding cake! When I met with Fernando to discuss the cake, he showed me photographs of past cakes they had made and asked me lots of questions to understand exactly what I wanted. We decided on a "naked frosting" layer cake with fresh roses. The cake was filled with cream and fresh fruit. Beautiful and delicious. The cake was priced fairly and ready on time. Highly recommend for custom cakes for weddings, baptisms, showers, and birthdays! read more

Overall good. Favorite was pupusa, then tacos, then empanada. I wouldn't get the empanadas again but would the others. I recommend asking for sour cream for the tacos which I regret not doing. Pupusa was actually one of my favorite that I've tried in Eastie. Overall was average and probably better than most latin food options in Eastie but I'm biased because the last couple tacos I've tried for delivery in Eastie have been bad. read more

I was initially recommended this bakery by a friend and I'm so glad they did. I've returned several times a week since my first visit. Everything I've tried so far has been delicious, but, as the name would suggest, the Pan Debono (Colombian cheese bread) is delectable! I'd encourage anyone nearby to stop in for a pan Debono and to try another item along with it (my routine a few days a week). Not only will you be delighted by the food selection, but the staff is incredibly friendly. read more

Excellent as always! Loved everything I got from El Pan de Bono (pupusas, tacos, dessert, chicken sandwich, empanadas etc. ) they have the perfect custom cakes for any special occasion. The combination of food/ambiance/service/friendly staff is perfect, outstanding value. Fully recommended. read more

I discovered the place and their tacos just a few weeks before moving out of East Boston. They are truly the best I've ever had! I was so upset to discover this hidden gem so late--they were our last meal in Boston, and are our first stop any time we're back in town. Do yourself a favor and try the Al Pastor tacos, the birria tacos, the empanadas, and the CHURROS. The churros are perfect and filled with dulce de leche or Bavarian cream. I dream of this place ... and you will too! read more

The tres leches cake is SOOO GOOD and the service is even better. Love this place so much!

Possibly the best Mexican food in town. Coming from a guy who lives in So Cal and frequents Mexico, this food is the real authentico stuff. All of the baked goods are amazing. The tacos remind me exactly of what you find in the Mexican state of Jalisco. You've gotta stop here. It's very small inside so probably order to go. Grab a joint or a beer next door and have yourself a time :) read more

Pandebono is my favorite place in Eastie. Great bang for buck, my partner and I go here a few times a week. The tacos birria is magical, the churros are legend! The staff is always warm and welcoming - I can't speak highly enough about this place! Love it! read more

The birria tacos and quesadilla here. That is all you need to be happy in the lifetime. Delicious and crispy!

I've had breakfast burritos all over the country, and this is THE best breakfast burrito I have ever had.

I had just finished a few hours of testing and when I was finally done I went back to class to see the burrito left for me. My classmates got the breakfast quesadilla, but I decided to go for the breakfast burrito with chorizo. And let me tell you... This was not only the best breakfast burrito I've ever had, but the best burrito in existence hands down! Upon biting into the burrito you instantly tasted the melted cheese, roasted potato, beans, and delicious chorizo. It was also wrapped perfectly to the point I was able to eat it in the foil to the very last bite and held its form well. read more

White chocolate mousse cake was prepared expertly by the friendly staff for my son's birthday surprise. I had it delivered by Uber Eats. We were delighted by how beautiful it came out.

He is definitely going to visit the bakery in person now, or have more deliveries made until the pandemic is over! read more
