LoVeD Plaza Bonita. The line was short-lied to sit down, and when we did get seated we were greeted by the most amazing table I've ever sat at (see attached photo). Our meals were quickly delivered (especially considering it was lunch time and they were rammed). The meal was well-prepared and everything tasted to perfection. I really couldn't fault that part. Why the kissing star? The sopapillas. I was so delighted to be able to order them for my Mexican friend who was unaware of their existence. The look on his face when he bit into one was not good . I folllowed-up with a bite of mine - same - and then finally they made the journey ba k for my wife to try - apparently the same oils to cook the regular food for the sopapillas and the result was not good. They tasted like cardboard. Please, fix this heinous error! I love sopapillas! read more

We come here every week because the food is good, the gentleman servers with exception of 1 are GREAT, the older lady that seats you usually, NOT GREAT. Walks away while your still talking and doesn't listen. Fix it or we stop coming! We pay a lot of money and we deserve better and if she laughs at us like she always does she'll get NO TIP next time read more

Looking for for traditional American Mexican food - plaza Bonita is a great choice! The staff is friendly, the ambiance is full of happy chatter from regulars with the staff. The margaritas are good and reasonably priced. The chili rellano was lightly breaded and had just enough kick. Chili Colorado was tasty too read more

First time at Plaza Bonita, but my hubby's been here a bunch for lunch. We showed up around 1:30 pm for a late lunch, and there was still a line! Waited about 10 minutes, though, so not bad. The place is gorgeous inside--every table and chair has these colorful hand-painted designs that totally make you feel like you're in Mexico. Super cool vibe. Our servers were awesome--super nice and quick. We got the fish tacos, Chile Relleno, and a macho burrito, and everything was so good. Oh, and the chips and salsa they bring out for free? Their salsa is legit amazing. I wanted to try like half the menu, but I ran out of room. Guess that just means I'll have to come back and try more next time. Definitely recommend this place! read more

There was a bit of a wait, but the food was so worth it! All the employees work together so you will never want for a drink refill, more chips and salsa, or to have your plates bussed. The food was fresh and the portions were huge. read more

when I went for the first time the place was super busy, but I was able to get a seat at the bar. I ordered the fish tacos. They were okay just really salty for me so i only ate one. the rice is good but the beans ironically needed salt. Reading the reviews I will try again. read more

Love the Mexican trio Perfect pairing: steak, chicken and bacon wrapped shrimp. Rice and beans full of flavor and grilled green onions just amazing! Chips n salsa and homemade horchata are my favorite! read more

I ordered a hard taco shell filled with shredded beef, etc. bit into the taco shell, and it fell apart in my hand. Can't imagine how old it was the shredded beef had fat in it. read more

Our favorite neighborhood Mexican spot! The food and the service is consistently very good. Been going there many years.

So I took the wife to lunch at this place today. It was packed and the service was a little slow for my taste, had to ask the server twice for a different salsa, we asked In Spanish and then English and it's like she forgot until we made eye contact towards the end. My food was just ok, shredded beef taco and enchilada with rice and beans. The meat was strangely sweet and I didn't like it much, beans and rice where very good the salsa was very thin and runny, the second salsa we asked for seemed to have a strong vinegar taste.y wife like here meal, Carna Asada steak, I had a little bite and found it to be nicely flavored. I'll try this place again if I'm in the area , I noticed they had chicken mole and I love that dish, sure hope it can live up to the hype . read more

Tried something totally different for lunch today Mexican Stir fry. The veggies were cooked perfectly and so fresh. I will definitely have this again. read more

You will notice as soon as you walk through the doors that it wreaks of Fabulouso. I can't stand the smell of that cleaner and while you are eating, they are cleaning the tables around you with it. Our waiter greeted us with a smile and was on top of empty drinks and checked on us often. Loved that If you follow me, you know that Chips & Salsa is my tell. Well, I've never had liquid salsa before. It was literally the consistency of water. I guess I should thank them as it kept me from eating chips. My chicken taco was okay. Chicken was burnt and there wasn't much of it but I did like the black beans. My husband and Son in Law couldn't eat their chicken burritos. They said that there was some overbearing seasoning that neither one of them could stomach. These are two military guys who eat anything and everything. So they meant it when they said that it was just wasn't edible. The restaurant was packed so we thought we would check it out. I can only assume it's the only Mexican restaurant around. We will not go back. We are looking at buying a house up that way and now we now - not our place. Wish the review was better but I have to be honest friends. read more

This place has the best Mexican food in the area! We've been coming here for a few years now and are never disappointed. My husband loves the Macho burrito and I always get the beef fajitas. The portions are great! Their refried beans and SO GOOD! They have a simple menu for the kids with Dino nuggets that satisfy those picky eaters (my youngest) The staff members are always so nice and take great care of us. I definitely recommend! read more

I'm a sucker for a family owned and operated business. Tastes like my grandmas cooking growing up

I love a place where the salsa and chips is free, unlimited and actually tastes good! Also they have the biggest juiciest array of margaritas. The interior is beautifully painted and vibrant. It's a popular spot! I recommend making a reservation. read more

Authentic Mexican food here. It gets packed; we saw few people waiting for tables. Service was fast and food was delicious. I tried their lunch combo with enchilada and tamale. It was really tasty. Portion was big so I couldn't finish my food but not enough left to take home. My friends had their burrito and tacos. Everyone enjoyed their food and made plans to return to try more things. They had comfy booths and nice decor. Highly recommend! read more

This was genuinely the best Mexican food I have ever had! The guacamole was out of this world. The service was quick and our waiter was very friendly and helpful. The vibes in the restaurant are very relaxing and enjoyable. I would definitely go here again! read more

I love Plaza Bonita! Friendly staff Tacos are great looking forward to visit again! Only thing missing is outdoor seating! read more

Love that they have salsa with the chips that is not spicy - you can always add however much spice you want. Service was quick and our server was very nice. Didn't have a Margarita on this visit but I know they have a lot of marg choices and they're very good. Cute little restaurant and they are always busy at dinner time. read more

Honestly, the service was really good, but the food wasn't. As an avid Mexican food eater this place just wasn't it and while the atmosphere seems authentic, the food was not. Pale in comparison to Popo's, Valleu Luna, or Encanto- this place tasted like frozen, deep/fried foods. I would not recommend this place if you're looking to get a Mexican food fix. read more

The place is really cute and the staff is kind and attentive, but I've had way better Mexican food. The chips seemed like they came out of a bag, which is fine, but they were way thin and flavorless. The chimichanga was probably the smallest I've ever had by leaps and bounds. It looked like the size of a hot pocket or small burrito and it came with guacamole, sour cream, and lettuce piled on top which was higher than the chimichanga! I thought it might've been just mine, but another buddy of mine had the same thing and it looked exactly the same. The fish tacos were way over salted and had to stop after one. One friend had steak fajitas and said they were good but to me the steak look like it was Carne Asada meat that not chopped up and not grilled ! But it's a really cute place and the people are really nice like I said read more

Friendly folks here. I like the tortilla soup and carne asada steak. A selection of Tequila as well!

Salsa tasted like it was made with dishwater. Refried beans were watery. Just not good in general.

Plaza Bonita fell short of our expatations. The service was OK and the building is bright and colorful. The food was a real miss. Firstly, the chips were a bit old and the hot sauce was watery. Skip these chips - they are not worth the calories. I ordered the fajitas and they were served on a cast iron plate covered in tin foil. Why the tin foil on a served plate. Is it a cleaning shortcut? Is it covering something bad? I could not get the food off the plate without ingesting bits of tin foil with my food. They also mixed tomatoes with the onions and peppers, which is a big no-no. Instead of caramelizing, the veggies get steamed because of all the moisture in the tomatoes. The meat was OK but the veggies were ineddible. I was also served Charro Beans, which are essentially beans in tomato sauce. I didn't eat those either. I made complaints about the tin foil, but the response from the bartender was, "I'm not the owner. " read more

I have eaten there three times now. I love the decor, good service and cleanliness but find their food to be just average.

Ordered for carry out. Food was ready in 10-15 minutes. Hot, fresh and tasty! The enchiladas were great.

We were in the area looking for some lunch and stumbled on this place. It was a Sunday afternoon and looked very busy, but the wait ended up not being more than 15 minutes or so. I love the inside design of this restaurant with all the bright colors and murals, it is absolutely stunning. The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious! I ordered the carne asada plate which comes with a large portion size and very tasty. I highly recommend this place! read more

Stopped by today around lunch time to a nearly full restaurant. Luckily we snagged one of the last booths because we were starving. Our server came over pretty quickly to take our drink order and give us some time to look over the menu. Today we went with the enchilada Suiza and the Tres Amigos. While we waited we ordered a side of guacamole with the chips and salsa. The guacamole had good flavor, but was a bit over blended for me. Our food came out pretty fast and my enchilada were delicious. The chicken was well seasoned and everything was delicious. The Tres Amigos was so huge and while filling of flavor it was definitely too much to finish ha ha. Location was clean. There is also a bar if you don't want to wait for a table. read more

this place is truly authentic Mexican food. Service is excellent. The ambience is gorgeous and the food is out of this world. I had the chicken taco salad. The portion size is awesome, the taste was on point and the salsa/hot sauce set the entire dish on fire. I would highly recommend this location. If you want to just hang out with friends and family or even for a work event! Absolutely amazing you will not be disappointed! read more

My husband loves his Mexican food and rates based on the beans. He loved them. I tasted them and they were good. Everything we ordered was very good. We sat at the bar and had great service. My Sangria was very refreshing. It's close to our house so we definitely will be returning. read more

Stopped here as it has been recommended by several friends. And it did not disappoint! Pretty much standard fare for a Mexican food restaurant, but very well done and a nice family friendly atmosphere. It was obvious that the table next to us were regulars and in fact one of them ordered a margarita that was not on the menu so we asked :-) So next time we go we will ask for a jalapeno margarita, with top shelf liquors! And yes we will be going back as the food was very very good. My wife's seafood enchilada was even better than my dish and I was tempted to steal some of it when she wasn't looking. Haha read more

Been coming here for a while, you need 2 things in your life. Chicken quesadilla and shredded beef tacos on the hard shell. Thank me later

Excellent atmosphere, food and service. Was just there yesterday, going back today with others I told about the place

First timers! This place reminds us of how our favorite Mexican place smelled on entering. I ordered the three combo meal for $18. Chicken taco, chicken enchilada and Chili Relleno - Rice ok, no veggies. Beans well flavored and served hot! Chicken taco 5 stars! Crispy, fresh and served hot! Chicken enchilada and sauce 4 stars - a little too "wet" and something slightly sweet, but in a good non invasive way. Good sized portion! Awesome Mango margarita - 5 stars!!! The Chili Relleno, was fresh breaded, slightly spicy and bursting with flavor - 4 stars. Ask for their hotter salsa if you like HOT! Over all solid four star first time experience!!! Will be back!!! read more

A great place to take my entire family for a nice Mexican meal. I have been to this place at least 5-6 times. I live in Anthem and it is convenient too. Great ambiance, service and casual. It is a busy place even for lunch. I also like the décor and the colors are so vibrant. The food was excellent, reasonably priced and the service was great too. read more

We stopped by for a weekday lunch while running errands nearby and were pleasantly surprised! To start, the chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful--such a great first impression. I ordered the "Lunch Special #2," which came with a chicken enchilada and a crispy beef taco, while my husband went for the chicken pollo fundido. Both dishes were delicious, and the margaritas hit the spot! The service was attentive and friendly, rounding out a great experience. We'll definitely be back! read more
