We were there in between lunch and dinner service, so a lot of the servers were just standing around and some of them were getting some fuel in before the rush. You get complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were freshly fried, but the salsa reminded me of store bought salsa. It was ok, but I was expecting something more authentic. I ordered the carne asada and they overcooked the steak. I wish it was more on the medium side. My wife ordered the shrimp enchilada and the sauce was really good. It was savory and slightly tart from the tomatillo sauce. It wasn't over powering and so that's how I like it. The restaurant does have a dingy smell and you can see how old the carpet is. I'm pretty sure most of the smell is coming from that. But I think the food is worth it though.

The wait staff and bartender are the gems of this place that make sure you feel like part of the family when dining here. They are super accommodating for requests and always happy to do so. There's a lot of Mexican restaurants around SCV, and Acton but I can easily say that Maria Bonitas is the best on every level. The mole enchiladas are my absolute favorite. The bean dip (complimentary) is to die for. Tasty and strong drinks which you won't get at a lot of other establishments. The taco Tuesday is a great deal $2 tacos with loads of meat and the green salsa....chefs kiss. If you are ever around Vasquez rock hiking or just feel like going somewhere that feels like home, check them out... you'll be glad you did.

They've always been patient, kind, and welcoming. I've spent countless birthdays wearing a sombrero and getting tricked with whipped cream landing on my nose. I've grown up at Maria's and it's a staple for my family. I dream about their salsa. I crave the chicken tortilla soup. Some favorites: any burrito and especially the chicken burrito a la ranchera. Floutas or the flour taquitos (king chicken) or the club quesadilla. I'm not into carnitas but my dad loves it. The enchiladas and fajitas are superb. Even the salads are good choice and I'm into the tostada salad. Tacos? Salad? Soup? A burger and fries? I don't care what you're into, Maria's has a dish for you. Oh and the drinks! Cadillac margarita is the go to for most. I'm a sucker for a Modelo Negra in an ice cold mug. As long as they're in business, I'll be a patron. If you visit, say hi to Martin because he's my favorite.

There's a down home, country feel to the 49'er Saloon subtly referring to the California gold rush days of yore. Looks like an ideal place for bikers and horse riders. Hearty grub with hints of traditional regional American cuisine and full bar where you will not leave hungry. There's a formal dining room for larger gatherings for families and friends. Great place to eat after scrambling around Vasquez Rocks, visiting Animal Tracks, or just hungry on CA 14 frwy. Just get off the Crown Valley offramp and head due south for about a mile. 1) Wild Game Sausage: Walk On The Wild Side With Jalapeño-Cheddar Stuffed Elk With Roasted Peppers & Onions. Big portion enough for 2 meals since the Elk sausage is so rich. Elk sausage is ground fine and stuffed tightly in the casing for dense, firm texture. You're getting your money's worth. The Jalapeño has a nice, warm piquancy while the Cheddar gives a dairy fermented undertone. The julienned red and green bellpeppers are pleasantly al dente; the onions are caramelized to bring out their sweetness. It's all sautéed in an agrodolce/sweet-sour sauce along with a touch of garlic. 1a) Side dish: Nice little garden salad including green lettuce, diced purple onion, chopped tomato, grated carrot. Chose blue cheese dressing to use for the "Buffalo Burger". 2) "Buffalo Burger" is extra finely ground, plush, velvety Bison meat. So when I ordered it medium rare, the patty turned out mushy. Next time, I will order it medium to firm up and give more of a chaw to the meat. Opted for two slices of not too crispy, meaty bacon. Mayo, tomato, green lettuce leaf, grilled onions, cheddar cheese, dense brioche bun. I spread on the blue cheese dressing to give a little funk to what I thought would be the blood minerality of the Bison meat. It's another substantial dish. 2a) Side dish of standard French fries which was crisp as requested although it didn't quite have that ineffable earthy, mildly sweet, potato flavour 1-2a) Allegiance India Pale Ale, Lancaster CA was a good counter to both food items. Dry, heavy bodied, fruity with scents of orange zest, lacquer, touch of cleansing acidity. 49'er doesn't leave you hungry so didn't have enough room for dessert. I took the Elk sausage home and made sandwiches for two meals. So eating at the 49'er isn't as expensive due to the big portions. 4 stars

The staff were very friendly as it wasn't very crowded it felt like we had the Resturant to ourselves and that they paid close attention to us. The decor is a Spanish style hacienda look with plenty of natural colors. They offer the add of groups of 5 or more free soft drinks or coffee, which is a smart incentive to get the larger groups and dinner parties in. The food smells were present as we pulled up to park. So I think I was hoping for a more authentic taste, I wasn't impressed! But my DIL is Spanish and a great cook so I tend to judge Mexican food harder! I hope the best for this place as the workers were so professional and that the flavors start to pour out into the community.

The food quality is spectacular! I always get the Baracoa Cubano sandwich and it never disappoints. The ingredients are fresh and organic with each dish I've ordered. Since I have allergies to ingredients used to preserve frozen food, it's always been so hard finding a restaurant with a menu that doesn't cause me issues--and Baracoa has never compromised with their ingredients! The organic quality of their food is something you'll taste on your first bite. And finally--the service is impeccable and I have yet to see such excellent hospitality at any restaurant I've visited, even in Los Angeles! The waiters are always kind, attentive, and energetic with their behavior and service. It's very easy to tell they love the work they do and it shows in their work ethic. In addition to that, the managers are always making sure we're having an excellent night and have transformed it to a level of service we've never seen! My parents and I went a week ago and talked to Daniel the Manager about how much we missed a Piña Colada from a closed restaurant which would make it in the pineapple itself--and he said if we promised to be there in a week he's make it himself. We came on Friday, and the joy that my family felt was palpable when Daniel came out with the drinks we've wished for years now since that restaurant closed! Honestly, I've never heard of someone caring for their guests so much to do that--truly everyone should visit this establishment and experience true fine dining. I don't think I'll ever eat anywhere else for a special occasion ever again.

All of their empanadas are great and you can get just one or a bunch. We often get some to take home. The Papas Rellenas is so good and so nicely priced. It is two mashed potato balls stuffed with Cuban picadillo, then breaded and fried to perfection. I love potatoes so I love to get this. We also take these home. They heat up so well. The service is great and they are very friendly. Parking is easy and there is not usually a wait. I am not sure if they take reservations, so call them and check.
