Very good food!! We had cocktail de camarón and the chicken flautas We'll definitely be back Servers super nice read more

Today's buffet lacked! Trays were empty, starting w/the chicken fajitas, spinach enchilada, potatoes, Chile colorado, asada, rice I had to scrape! The Chile colorado was not the same in consistency from prior times I've been there. Also, menudo was not available. I did see chicken pozole( no hominy) available + a different item (sopes) but already prepared looked messy! What really made our day here , was the young woman server, so attentive & on top of everything, making sure we were doing alright. 10/10 I tried the spinach enchiladas 7/10 Salad 4/10 wilted salad no bueno Rice is good Chicken fajitas 7/10 Chile colorado 5/10 not he same today Asada adobada 6/10 Cucumber gets soggy after a while mixed in lime juice w/the cantaloupe & oranges. Too much inconsistency! Presentation is everything to the eye when you eat! read more

We were there for Mother's Day and it wasn't crazy busy we were seated at the time of our reservation our waitress was very nice and friendly. The food was... Ok. Not impressed. I really didn't like the music that was played which was all reggaeton to me it wasn't really what anyone wanted/expected to listen to since most of the people who were there were middle aged/older people so maybe the ambience could of been a bit more appropriate for the aged folks who were there. read more

Great food! Buffett style Mexican food!! Breakfast and Dinner homemade!!! Definitely will be coming back

Stopped in for lunch while working in the area and opted for the buffet, which was the best value. The food and service were decent. Not great but it got the job done. The space has a nice modern cocina feel, though the music was a bit loud for a lunch crowd. Overall, a solid stop if you're nearby, but not necessarily a spot I'd go out of my way for. read more

Chonitos Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Alhambra, California

Well right off the bat I came to try Chonito's all you can eat breakfast brunch I've been wanting to try and it didn't disappoint! The service was real good all the waiters including the Manager/Owner was super kind and welcoming. I thought I had the stomach to really eat but 1 1/2 plates of food is all my stomach allowed me lol I loved their Chile verde de puerco it's so flavorful and tender like butter not rough at all, I tried their Chile Colorado as well but it can use a bit of seasoning but still the meat was tender soft and juicy texture overall was perfect on all the meats! It's really clean inside and I love that they played some chente and other og Mexican folk music. The vibes was amazing and I highly recommend this to everyone that's looking for a great Mexican Buffet. Much love to the staff keep the great work and hospitality till next time read more

mediocre Mexican restaurant we went on Sunday Mother's Day. We attended the buffet party of seven they were understaffed. The food is mediocre. Nothing crazy nothing out of the world. I would maybe come back into three years. read more

Chonitos has turned divey and dirty over the years. I remember coming here back when they first opened and the experience was definitely different compared to today. The food experience is alright and plenty of drunken afternoons were had here! I feel the quality has changed, and drinks are getting pricier. Never tried the lunch buffet, but have heard it's not too bad. The service is a bit slow here, waiters kind of disappear in and out. The overall layout of the restaurant is a bit odd as well. I think they need a bit of modern renovations to bring the place up to date. Overall experience was alright. I think I would return to try the lunch buffet. A modern update and step up the service a bit would make the experience better next time. read more

I had a great experience at Chonitos Mexican Restaurant! The owner was super friendly and welcoming, really made us feel at home. The staff was also amazing--attentive, polite, and always checking to make sure everything was good. The buffet was fresh and full of flavor -- everything tasted homemade and authentic. You can really tell they take pride in their food and service. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to for some good, fresh Mexican food and great hospitality! read more

DOES NOT EVEN DESERVE ONE STAR!!!!! This place is absolutely DISGUSTING, with the WORST customer service ever. Went to eat and found the food flavorless and filled with MOLD.!!!! Wanted to discretely tell someone about it, but the servers were so bad that never went to the table to even ask if we wanted something else. This restaurant is highly marketed on social media, but the hype is completely overrated. Will most definitely never go back, as I do not want to get food poisoning!!! read more

Pretty disgusting. Tried for the first time. take out. It was so incredibly salty that it was almost inedible. Only could get through half of it. At first I thought it was just salty beans, but everything was salty and greasy. I just wanted comfort food but this was not enjoyable at all. I ordered the enchilada style beef burrito with rice and beans. Bad choice. Maybe other things are better but I won't be coming back to find out. When I went to pick it up, the music inside was super loud so not a place for easy conversation either. Bummer. read more

We had a blast! We celebrated my moms 83 birthday with Sunday brunch at Chonitos. It was 37 of us. Vanessa took out reservation and everything went smoothly. Our server Trinidad was AMAZING! Attentive, friendly, quick service. Let's talk about the food, great flavors my favorites chile colorado & pozole. Wide selection of Mexican dishes which included seafood. Everyone enjoyed the food and went for seconds and even thirds. One of the best cafe de ollas I've had. Omelette station was awesome. One suggestion more breakfast foods like bacon, sausage, pancakes maybe waffles, french toast either one of those griddle items would have been a nice addition. The music was at the right volume, football was playing, restaurant was clean-Great way to start a Sunday. read more

Good service but I think the Sunday brunch was overpriced. Not a lot of food choices, no white bread and only red velvet dessert with churros. Not going again to this brunch. read more

I want to like this place so much more than I do . It's very close to home. Food is great but every time I come and order a drink it's just off. First time I got a margarita in a warm glass that must've just came out of a dish washer or something. Then another time I got Margarita in a tumbler. For 15.00 for a Cadillac they need to do better. read more

Our neighborhood comfort food and bar spot! Have done take outs here, good portions and relatively fast service. For when there are Dodgers games on, it's really fun to come here for the atmosphere. Plenty of food options, my favorites are the mexican soups here. read more

Stopped by on a weekend for lunch. Parking can be a little hard but there is a lot and residential parking. Make sure to read the street signs. Portions were generous and both the food and drink menu have a huge selection. Our server was really sweet and checked on us regularly to see how we were doing. Would definitely come box again when in the area. read more

Don't ever take you and your kids to this establishment ever. The food was disgusting. It has no flavor. Looks can be very deceiving. Be careful. I also saw a little roach in the bathroom. You need to be careful. Hide your kids hide your wife hide everybody because if these little critters get on you, you will take him back home read more

Service , food is not as good as what it was before. I mentioned to our waitress the salsa verde was spoiled and that it was bubbling up and she took it and even though I told her she still served it to the customers. We left our appetizer and entree. This was a place to go to and it's just not the same maybe a new cook or maybe under new management?.. read more
