Bonitas 106 Palmerston Road, Southsea, Portsmouth, Southsea PO5 3PT

"Myself, my partner and her mother visited Bonitas as it was just around the corner from our hotel. We did not pre book and this was a walk-in. The starters were really good, in particular the Padron Peppers which were much firmer and tastier than you normally get in a mexican restaurant. Also the freshly cooked tortilla chips were as described and went nicely with the provided dips and the coleslaw. Additionally we ordered the black garlic mayo which paired a treat with our starters. For mains we went with the spiced slow beef and buttermilk chicken tacos. Both were awesome and very flavourful, although you get a lot of filling in your taco so be prepared for some spillage! We also got the Vegan Quesadilla's for the vegetarian in the party who approved. Dessert was chocolate and dulce de leche churros as you can't really go wrong with churros and these were no exceptions. For drinks we stuck with the virgin cocktails as it had been a heavy night previously. We got the watermelon chilli and regular margarita's and both were amazing. The watermelon Chili was especially good with a decent chili kick. We got 2 of each as it was bogof on Sundays and the offer extended to the virgin cocktails as well. A second round of Watermelon Chili's was ordered too. Service was excellent, and the server was friendly and attentive. Definitely a pleasant experience and I would go again."

"What an amazing place to be ! My wife and I had a fantastic time there, the drinks , the food the music and service were spot on ! Very professional and caring staff , many thanks to Mia , Priscilla and Josh for their great service! I would 100% recommend this place ."

"The food was good but the service was odd.I mean don't get me wrong, everyone was nice, but they were absolutely clueless. We asked a couple of things about the food and drinks (is this drink sweet, is this dish served with that?) and the waiter had no idea (she just said 'I don't know'). Asked for water... nothing. Asked again... nothing. 20 min later we get water... twice. The tacos were good but slightly overpriced considering the size of the portions (pricier than London for ex). The quesadilla was a joke (way to tiny to £7). The waitress was cleaning our table and we asked if we can also have the bill after. She just placed all the dirty dishes back on the table and went to bring the bill. I mean, I appreciate the effort but it was odd. The cocktails were nice. Overall this is a place to go for a drink and maaaaybe eat something along with your drink and not the other way around."

"Came here for a friend's 30th birthday. Fabulous place and atmosphere. We had bottomless brunch, which was unlimited drinks and food. Food and drinks flowed throughout and it was great fun. Staff very friendly and chatty. Would highly recommend."

"Bonitas is a really cute spot to grab some good quality food. The vegetarian options are good and service was fine. I do think for the price that the quantity of food wasn't much. The bottomless drinks were nice and we didn't have empty glasses for too long. We enjoyed our meal here but not sure I'd go back."
