    We have visited Bonta numerous times, always being warmly welcomed. Food is consistently very tasty and good value. It's one of our favorite restaurants here in the desert.

    Every meal here is perfection. That is one reason we keep coming back. In fact this was our second night in a row. Another reason is that the owners Hector and Petra make you feel so at home. Good value. A must try.

    Food was average quality. Service was very slow, nearly an hour before our main courses were served. Went before a CV Rep performance so restaurant was busy. More server staff would have helped. Venue is very noisy.

    I agree with the customers who found the food mediocre, and the experience meh. Hard chairs, tables devoid of candles or anything charming, mismatched silverware, garish lighting, loud atmosphere. Quite a disappointment. Agree with the review who said they got bored with their food after a while. It's a lot of food, but keep the salt shaker handy to make it palatable. Our waiter was great, though. If the service had been bad, then it would have been a complete wash. Lots of folks seem to like it, though, as it was fairly busy for a Friday night. Mostly old folks, though. Certainly no kind of energetic vibe. No reason to drive all the way out there from Palm Desert.
