Antonio ValladaresSeptember 22, 2013My first time here. The food is amazing. So good. Pomegranate Guac. amazing tacos. Beef. Pork w pineapple. Eating my friend's ' burrito Now. Everything so far is awesome. plantains, so awesome.
Brendan HasenstabAugust 13, 2013Oh where to start?! The jalapeño con queso is such a great way to start dinner here. Lots of love for the chicken enchiladas, the pork cracking tacos, the crispy fish tacos and oh my, the Bonita crew!
Sable WorthyDecember 20, 2013DO get the Sopa de Lima- it really is that good. Jalapeños con queso, with that so, so soft tortilla? ¡Delicioso! Top it off with a puerco burrito, and you can call it a good night.
StephanieSeptember 24, 2016If you're looking to avoid the long lines at Vanessa's across the way on a late night, this is a great alternative option. Great service and reasonable prices as well.
Carino is AMAZING! The Crispy Fish Tacos are THE best ever! The tacos are SO much better than La Superior's. From the margaritas, guacamole, tacos, rice and beans, to the Carmelized Plantains, Yum.- Eric LanehartApril 10, 2016repeat after me — nachos, hanger steak, and flan, nachos, hanger steak, and flan, nachos, hanger steak, and flan
Holly DowellSeptember 15, 2016Favorite Mexican restaurant, for sure. Fantastic tacos and burritos. Great margaritas. Happy hour until 7!
Mike BodgeAugust 15, 2011A total neighborhood spot, but amazing gringo mexican food. It's the old Bonita staff and menu and it always hits the spot. Chicken empenadas are the best.
Sally SimmsFebruary 21, 2015Tacos are best in williamsburg. Recommend shrimp & al pastor. Great frozen margaritas
Rachel SchwartzJanuary 20, 2014This place is great! Amazing food, amazing music, and they're so nice. Try the Sopa de Lima!
Order everything. The chips + guac are incredible. I always get the empanadas when they're filled with my kind of ingredients.
everything is really delicious, down to the botanas they put out at the bar. try a torta or order a bunch of plates family style. also they have like a billion kinds of tequila.
Julius TarngFebruary 15, 2015Guac comes w lil tortillas hidden in a roll of paper - make lil guac tacos!
D. Gabriela Ocampo UchaNovember 1, 2014The chile relleno is awesome. One of the best chiles I ever had.

Nina NiremaMarch 22, 2013FYI: their nachos have carrots and radishes on them. Take that as you will.
Keilon LawrenceApril 7, 2014The food is fresh but has no soul, no umph, no kick, no corazón! We had the jalapeño con queso to start, chicken quesadilla, and pork burrito....all meh. Drinks lack liquor concentration.
- Pueblo Viejo TequilaApril 1, 2016The Easter colors reflect in a Margarita mixed with Pueblo Viejo. Get yours here at Cariño Restaurant And Cantina!
- Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 29, 2015If you are in Cariño Restaurant, try a real Mexican taste, order a Spicy Paloma mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
Scott HuestonJuly 4, 2012tortas overpriced. Carne asada was lost on roll & was $13. Far better tortas in Brooklyn @ 1/2 the price. Stick with a quesadilla. It's $10, but flavorful, right balance of cheese & meat.
Brooklyn BasedMarch 20, 2011The quesadilla is made with masa from Nixtamal and gooey cheese from chihuahua. The best ever.
- Frank L.June 18, 2010Even without their liquor license, worth checking out. Everything you liked about Bonita, and the food might be even better.
- Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 8, 2015If you are in Cariño Restaurant And Cantina, try a Margarita with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
William Zoe FitzgeraldJune 20, 2011Try the Ice Cold Jarritos Tamarid Pop - I think I found my next drinking spot.
Pamela CastilloMay 16, 2010If you miss Bonita, come here! Some of the same people & some of the same menu items - really good!
