About Bonita Bonita

Mermaid Beach locals treat this mood-lit haunt as their go-to for fiery Mexican plates and sharp agave cocktails. Behind the moody dining room sits the Bon Bon bar, shaking up chili-salt rimmed Tom Yum margaritas and poured mezcal while the kitchen turns out tender pork belly tacos, kingfish ceviche, and loaded beef empanadas. Weeknights fill fast for Tuesday taco feeds and Wednesday nacho plates, while groups pack corner booths for shared multi-course banquets paired with fresh-fried churros dipped in warm chocolate.

  • Bon Bon Cocktail Bar: An integrated dedicated bar crafts creative house pours like Tom Yum and cucumber-jalapeño margaritas.
  • Mid-Week Value & Banquets: Weekly specials include a Tuesday taco feed and discounted Wednesday nacho nights alongside group banquets.
