    Cadillac margarita
    Ed L.

    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

    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!

    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.

    Mexican trio
    Cristal R.

    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!

    Ribs

    Shredded beef taco and enchilada with rice and beans
    Jeff W.

    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 .

    Margaritas
    Zandri N.

    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.

    Lunch special #3

    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!

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

    As always amazing! We found this place on opening week just by a chance. Dad and I decided to go in…read moreand enjoyed it so much it is one of our regulars as most people know we still recommend them to this day. Their clam chowder is the absolute best in the state and since we went to Seattle, acriss state lines too in our opinion. Mom's too. When she was in the hospital after a stroke and refused to eat anything they helped us out with thinning the chowder down a little for her because we were worried it would be too thick. And this was the only thing she regularly ate besides frostys so we were so appreciative of the staff for helping us with that. It's a great memory we reminisce on, now that she has past. But as always love the food and recommend the fish and chips, get your cod grilled or fried both are amazing. Their calamari is amazing too!

    I'm not out this way often but did give this place a try…read more Staff were friendly and helpful here. This is a seafood place and they have lots on offer, if you like fried foods. I tried to avoid an all fried meal, so had their broiled cod, steamed veggies plate. I didn't want the seafood pasta salad and substituted with hush puppies (oh well so much for not wanting anything fried). The broiled cod was pretty terrible, rubbery and overcooked and tasteless. I really had to try and finish all of my meal. The steamed veggies felt like they were frozen and just steamed up. Hush puppies were solid but then again you can't go wrong with the taste of fried, right? They have a soda fountain here and seltzer water and lemons available. Place was clean and bathrooms were fine. Also, had an outside patio space too. Sadly, I really wanted to like this place, but everything was pretty lackluster here minus the excellent service. I doubt I'll be coming back here, unless I may want some hush puppies...

    My wife and I took her sister here for lunch. She is from Washington state, so she has had seafood…read morethat is about as fresh as you can get. We started with drinks. The dirty birdy and whiskey buck were such a hit we had a few. The appetizers we tried were delicious. The seared ahi tasted yummy and the pork belly with its crunchy exterior was gobbled up quick. We then tried the cauliflower and steamed clams. The broth for the clams was so good, we asked for more bread to sop it up. The cauliflower was yummy and everything on the plate was eaten up. The girls were full after that, but I wanted to try the beet salad. Have to say, one of the best I've ever had. Beets, arugula, goat cheese, walnuts (I think) and Orange slices with a tasty vinaigrette. Although the girls were 'full', they saw that and had to try it. Nothing left in that bowl as well. Overall, very pleasantly surprised and will for sure return to try other items on the menu. Service was great btw! My wife and I will certainly be back!

The special fish of the day was grouper with coconut rice, bok choy and ginger sauce. So light and delicate! My brother had the steak frites. Cooked perfectly with a garlicky chimichurri sauce. Dessert to go!!! Carrot cake with a super sweet sauce. Skip the sauce and it's perfect. Generous portion. The inside is light and airy. Outside seating available. The only disappointment is that they don't allow dogs outside on the patio. Otherwise we would come for lunches, as we live here year round. All in all, a nice night.

We parked and walked in with our child, where the hostess greeted us.

The hostess then asked for our name and where we lived, and informed us we could not dine there because we were not members or residents.

Seriously? They did offer us a free dessert because of the long wait, which was a nice gesture, but it didn't make up for the slow service and average food. We won't be going back.
