Seriously....La Bonita is the best. Gather 'round.

by Popfly

Listen,

La Bonita makes the best burritos in Portland, OR. Their cuisine's superiority doesn't manifest in their portion size (which is large), nor does it matter with their prices (which are very affordable). La Bonita makes the best burritos in Portland because their kitchen does what any exceptional kitchen does. They prepare dishes from scratch, they cook with a home-style, and their quality shows up every single time.

If someone didn't enjoy their cuisine from La Bonita, I strongly suggest they either 1) Go back and try it again 2)Shut Up OR 3)Quit comparing magnificent affordable meals to an "Albertsons Enchilada Dinner."

Man, They're nice folks, too.

• Pros: Fast, Tasty, Cheap, Authentic
• Cons: No Draft Beer

Go for Brunch!

by nikitasafrita

Totally delicious and cheap brunch - huevos con chorizo is crazy delicious. Plus their Oaxaca cafe made with cinnamon and cane sugar is a delightful way to enjoy your morning coffee. And there is never a long line, unlike most other breakfast joints on Alberta. Tacos and burritos are great too.

Good customer service

by AvaNicole

We went to La Bonita to celebrate a co-workers birthday. Unfortunately, we had a hard time locating the restaurant because they didn't have the name on the building they were in. We had heard the food was excellent, but from my experience it was 'average'. It had decent flavor, but when I picked up the food, it was 'luke warm'. This is my first experience with La Bonita, and I would be willing to give it one more try when I'm in the area.

• Pros: Great service.
• Cons: Ambience is on the 'tacky' side, parking is hard to find.

This place is for real !!

by masterkushner

Ok folks. I don't need to say much. This place is amazing. Great mexican food. Amazing, suculent steak, beans and rice and a great atmosphere. Easily the best burrito I've had in many years. ( And I'm from So. Cal and eat mexican food at least 3 times a week). I will be a devoted patron from this day forward.

• Pros: Amazing Food
• Cons: None!

Best burritos and tamalis in portland and beyond

by spinfresh

I am a vegatarian and mexican resturants that serve "clean" veg food are hard to come by, and this one is tops, they have all fresh ingrediants, their vegan tamalis are awsome, and their prices are very affordable.

every item tastes home made, with fresh ingrediants (did I say that already)

• Pros: Awsome food, fresh ingrediants, nothing from a can or jar
• Cons: somtimes there are huge lines

Best Mexican for under $10 in PDX

by henryadam

La Bontia is pretty good. It's authentic and for what it is and considering this is Portland, where decent Mexican is hard to find, this is a good place. Magnitudes above places like Santa Fe Taqueria or Pepitos (sp). Give them a chance.

• Pros: cheap, tasty, good mex
• Cons: none

Tasty Tasty Mexican Food

by rayegunn

This has been a well kept secret, or so it seems. La Bonita is fantastic, fast, fresh, and inexpensive. Even though I live across town I try to make visits there often. Their veggie burrito is easily vegan and with the reasonable charge of 75 cents adding guacamole really rounds out the wonderful flavor. It has gotten busier in the last few years and I hope all the construction around the corner will be extra seating or a to-go window because this place is bound to explode.

• Pros: Food, Prices, Variety, Guacamole
• Cons: Hard to find seats during the lunch rush

Best Breakfast Burrito

by just_j

The best breakfast burritos in Portland, maybe in the world. Hashbrowns in a burrito? It's a dream come true. I can't really tell you about anything else on the menu as I've only had about a dozen breakfast burritos. Umm.. the hot sauce is great too.

• Pros: food
• Cons: small place, get take out
