"Delicious! Highly recommend the prawn taco and the premium chicken taco. Nachos are a good serving too! We used the EatClub app on a Monday and got 25% off but it’s only walk ins. Staff were really lovely and gave a good vibe!"

"Had a great evening tonight at Bonita. We sat in Bon Bon at the bar and were especially well looked after by Jay and Georgia with the service always coming with a smile. Food was amazing with every bite being super tasty. The nachos were unreal and I’d come back for those alone then the tacos just topped it off. Food was always promptly delivered by Emily. Oh and I can’t forget the coconut margarita too! Look forward to returning to a great venue with super food and excellent service."
