This place is not the same anymore. The food was not good. The portion were ridiculous small for the price. Super overpriced. Although the service was good, the food was terrible super overpriced for the amount of food!

We went on Cinco De Mayo so of course they were very busy and it was very load. Server was very good, but getting our drinks took a long time. We were done eating before the second drink we ordered arrived at the table, and we ordered it before our food arrived. I don't blame the waiter, he did go and check on it twice. The food was very good, and it came out in a decent amount of time.

Our server, Berta, was great! Cucumber margarita is fantastic. Food, especially trios enchiladas, is delicious , but portion sizes are smaller and prices higher than at our last visit.

Casa Bonita is nice local Mexican restaurant. The ambiance is very festive, along with delicious food and beverages. The steak I ordered unfortunately was a a big piece of fat and gristle, where my steak knife couldn't even saw through it. However...my server was very accommodating and apologetic, and offered to bring me another fresh steak right away. The manager brought me the replacement steak, which was cooked perfectly and much more tender. Great customer service and would definitely go back there.

We went to celebrate some family birthdays and they made sure to make our experience special. The food was outstanding and the service was top notch. We live about 40 minutes away, but we will for sure make the drive again, its possibly some of the best Mexican food I've had!!
