Chonitos Mexican Restaurant

Walked in and immediately felt like family. Every single staff welcomed greated us. We came for the buffet style brunch. They had so many options. The chilaquiles and pozole were spicy but delicious. Never had green mole it was so good. The best thing was the enchiladas they were so cheesy. They had so many options but didn't get to try everything. But everything I tried was delicious. Thank you to the staff for being attentive and really getting to know you. This place is a MUST when in LA. BRUNCH is 11am to 2pm

Definitely Delicious! All food is homemade. Buffet is amazing! Very flavorful authentic food, which is hard to find, unlike most other buffet's which others use so much can food or undercook the food. This place has all food cooked to absolute perfection, place is clean, plenty of outdoor shaded seating. Coffee is great and hot! Plenty of vegetarian, meat and ceviche for pescatarian. Fried banana, menudo, jello, salad extras are amazing. Buffet is 11am to 2pm, come early or for lunch. The service is so sweet and courteous. My husband asked for a pitcher of water due to thirst, they brought out an ice glass pitcher, how amazing is that! Plenty of parking in front and back. Thank you Guys so much, that Brunch was delicious and the bomb dot com!!! Yummers I will be coming back!

First time visiting Chonitos, probably not the last!

The food was really good for us. I had a carne asada burrito, and my girlfriend tried their sopes (one chicken, one steak). We also had a watermelon agua fresca that was SO refreshing, and a horchata that was incredibly flavorful and rich (to me, it tastes like a mouthful of Christmas)!

The burrito was really good - the carne asada wasn’t too fatty, and the flavor was beautiful! It comes with rice and beans on the plate - the melted cheese they use on the beans is freaking great! So tasty!

My girlfriend enjoyed her sopes and said they were very good as well. Both of us were content with our plates - the portions are big, so we had leftovers the next day for brunch!

The chips and salsa with bean dip served when you arrive; let’s talk about this. Actually, the promise of bean dip was what sold us on trying Chonitos to begin with - bean dip is a huge bonus in our opinion, so that sealed the deal! Unfortunately, the bean dip is very spicy - so much so, that my girlfriend couldn’t eat it, which was really disappointing. I like spicy and I’m here to tell you - the bean dip is definitely too intense for casual diners, in my opinion. It needs to be toned down a notch. The salsa is decent - nothing incredible, and again, a touch too spicy for folks to truly enjoy. My mouth was definitely burning as I ate both - and my girlfriend had to sit it out and watch me eat as she sat there hungry. No bueno. And I’m not sure if it was our server or the restaurant’s practice - but the amount of salsa/bean dip they bring is SO little, after a few chips, I had to ask for more of each - the serving bowls are small, and they were each filled only half way! This comes across as the restaurant being super cheap, whether they intend to or not.

We had to ask our server multiple times to bring more chips and dips - the restaurant was not busy at all, and so that was unfortunate. The best is when you’re brought more chips, etc. without even having to ask; this was definitely not that. Our server was nice - very friendly, even. We just had to keep asking for things when we were one of her only tables. The rest of the staff was very nice, too - so no complaints about the team except for the spotty service we had.

The food took a long time to arrive. Too long, honestly. We weren’t in a rush - but if we had been, this would have been an issue. The restaurant was not busy - it felt like we were waiting at least 20 minutes for the plates, which is just a hair too long when you’re sitting there hungry (and unable to enjoy the chips/dips because everything is too spicy).

The restaurant has a loud sound system. Half of the interior is a bar space and the music is definitely louder there. The more formal dining area is a bit more quiet but the music is still just a touch too loud - or at least it was for an early afternoon meal, in our opinion. 8pm on a Saturday, we’d totally understand! But it was like 2pm and not very busy - the music should have been set to a more appropriate volume. It wasn’t HORRIBLE - but it was a bit annoying.

We will definitely be open to trying Chonitos again! It’s hard to judge based on one visit - the food was very tasty overall, and the service WAS nice, albeit slow. So maybe these things change with a different day and server. We shall see! It’s not super close to home - it’s about a 20-25 minute drive, so it’s not quite a neighborhood spot or impulse choice for us. But we agreed we definitely will return and try this place again - you can definitely do a lot worse when it comes to Mexican food, so give them a try and enjoy!

We came tonight for a marching band fundraiser. There is a very large selection and the portions are very good for the price. They also have a happy hour menu that has good sized portions. The menudo was a bit spicier than I expected. The Jamaica was very good, not too sweet and a good size (see the photo). They also have a few large screens for sports fans.

Service was the worst. Saw the server once, no visits to offer straws, or more drinks. Had to get my own straw and she didn't listen when I asked for water. So had to wait almost until the end. Host quickly sat us so that was a plus, and food was good. But they need work on their service. Too bad for la Chica we tip well even if buffet ask the omelet man my husband always tips them too. If I can give a zero on this chic I would.

Updated review:
Came to try the weekday lunch buffet. It was pretty good with a decent variety of dishes. It was pretty busy for a Tuesday. The buffet doesn’t include soda or other drinks, just water. It also doesn’t include chips and salsa, but if you ask they may bring some to you. The salsa was bland but the bean dip was good.

***********
I'll admit that I need to try this place again to see if it deserves a higher rating. Only been here once so far. The service was quick, the food could have been a little better. It was good but what I ordered I won't order again. Mainly because I didn't like it but also because I want to try something else. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and there were too many onions in the enchilada. Rice and beans were ok. We had them make a shrimp quesadilla and my daughter really liked it. I thought it was too salty. The salsa and bean dip are good.

We arrived around 4, and it was going for the trendy look and vibe and full of patrons. As we were seated, not many people came. We were there until 7 pm. Service was slow. I was told they were short staff. The food was ok. Food was drowning in sauce that took away from the actual flavor of the food. Others in my party stated their food was bland. The staff was pleasant, just slow with service. I might give them another try.
Parking is somewhat difficult as it is located on a busy/main street and residential area.

I tried the buffet, there is a variety of food. Unfortunately, I got sick from the food. I think it was too spicy and spiced. I went on Saturday. It costs $20 without a drink. The drink is purchased separately. Really, to be a buffet, they should include it for two people. We paid $55. The service of the staff. In my opinion, the person who served us was friendly but I think they lack personnel to serve us well. They also gave us a high table that was not level and I did not feel comfortable, Parking is limited I give it 4 stars because I think its good. I just wont go back because I cant eat such spicy foods.

I had a very bad, ugly experience, and above all the food is very bad. The buffet is Bad, The Taste is cold and what happens is that we arrived and the buffet side was empty and we had to eat what there was only and for that alone we were already paying a lot. And when we ordered food from the menu, the food was still very bad, the taste, the food is not very good, we traveled from very far because we went to see that place and we decided to pay and go eat somewhere else, its not for a reason, but For how expensive it is because it is very expensive, the attention of the waiters is not very satisfactory. I really do not recommend it. It is very very expensive because of the buffet and the food trays are empty and cold. And something else, there is nothing about the dessert place. Only cold soup, and ceviche, that restaurant is very very bad.

Dropped In for quick lunch buffet and their selection, while small, was decent. Fare included normal stuff like rice and beans, cheese enchiladas. Chicken fajitas and pork and chicken taco fillings. Most other stuff were not marked, so I could not tell what they were. The fish ceviche was pretty good as well. Service was efficient if not particularly attentive. Could stand to have better labeling on food items so we could understand what was being served. We did not get any chips and salsa like many restaurants give.

The food is often good, and the spicy bean dip served with the chips is a favorite. But the service is inefficient and unkind. Our last visit we arrived 15 minutes before happy hour ended. They gave us a happy hour menu to look over. When they brought our complimentary chips, we tried to order but they would not accept it. Server finally came back 3 minutes after happy hour ended, took the happy hour menu away from us, and then refused to honor happy hour prices for drinks or appetizers. The wait time to order and to receive the food were unacceptably long to begin with, but seemed intentionally designed to deny us a chance to order from the happy hour menu at all. Will not be going back.

They have music videos playing on the large screens located throughout. Option to sit in dining room or bar style section for drinks and eating. There is also an outdoor dining patio. Parking is limited though we were able to easily find parking right in front of the.

A good option for a breakfast-brunch, excellent price, varied menu and the taste is good, compared to many Mexican restaurants. If you dont want the buffet they also have a la carte order so you have options. The service is good, they explain whats there and are attentive to ensuring that you are well at your table. Its a spacious, clean place... I would just tone down the music a little and personally change the genre , but that would be me. The buffet menu is good, it changes from the ordinary things you find in restaurant menus and you can try a little of everything, the buffet is small, dont expect a variety of 10 thousand dishes, but the ones they offer are enough to eat deliciously and I will get the craving everything!

First time visiting Chonitos, probably not the last! The food was really good for us. I had a carne asada burrito, and my girlfriend tried their sopes (one chicken, one steak). We also had a watermelon agua fresca that was SO refreshing, and a horchata that was incredibly flavorful and rich (to me, it tastes like a mouthful of Christmas)! The burrito was really good - the carne asada wasn t too fatty, and the flavor was beautiful! It comes with rice and beans on the plate - the melted cheese they use on the beans is freaking great! So tasty! My girlfriend enjoyed her sopes and said they were very good as well. Both of us were content with our plates - the portions are big, so we had leftovers the next day for brunch! The chips and salsa with bean dip served when you arrive; let s talk about this. Actually, the promise of bean dip was what sold us on trying Chonitos to begin with - bean dip is a huge bonus in our opinion, so that sealed the deal! Unfortunately, the bean dip is very spicy - so much so, that my girlfriend couldn t eat it, which was really disappointing. I like spicy and I m here to tell you - the bean dip is definitely too intense for casual diners, in my opinion. It needs to be toned down a notch. The salsa is decent - nothing incredible, and again, a touch too spicy for folks to truly enjoy. My mouth was definitely burning as I ate both - and my girlfriend had to sit it out and watch me eat as she sat there hungry. No bueno. And I m not sure if it was our server or the restaurant s practice - but the amount of salsa/bean dip they bring is SO little, after a few chips, I had to ask for more of each - the serving bowls are small, and they were each filled only half way! This comes across as the restaurant being super cheap, whether they intend to or not. We had to ask our server multiple times to bring more chips and dips - the restaurant was not busy at all, and so that was unfortunate. The best is when you re brought more chips, etc. without even having to ask; this was definitely not that. Our server was nice - very friendly, even. We just had to keep asking for things when we were one of her only tables. The rest of the staff was very nice, too - so no complaints about the team except for the spotty service we had. The food took a long time to arrive. Too long, honestly. We weren t in a rush - but if we had been, this would have been an issue. The restaurant was not busy - it felt like we were waiting at least 20 minutes for the plates, which is just a hair too long when you re sitting there hungry (and unable to enjoy the chips/dips because everything is too spicy). The restaurant has a loud sound system. Half of the interior is a bar space and the music is definitely louder there. The more formal dining area is a bit more quiet but the music is still just a touch too loud - or at least it was for an early afternoon meal, in our opinion. 8pm on a Saturday, we d totally understand! But it was like 2pm and not very busy - the music should have been set to a more appropriate volume. It wasn t HORRIBLE - but it was a bit annoying. We will definitely be open to trying Chonitos again! It s hard to judge based on one visit - the food was very tasty overall, and the service WAS nice, albeit slow. So maybe these things change with a different day and server. We shall see! It s not super close to home - it s about a 20-25 minute drive, so it s not quite a neighborhood spot or impulse choice for us. But we agreed we definitely will return and try this place again - you can definitely do a lot worse when it comes to Mexican food, so give them a try and enjoy! Parking: Small lot, not many spots - could be a pain during busy times. Neighborhood street is full of cars as well. Definitely easier to park on off hours. Wheelchair accessibility: It s ADA.

The food was delicious, we ordered steak fajitas and enchiladas. Nice presentation. The service was a little off. The food was not served at the same time. We had to ask several times for any extras.
