Bonita Bonita

Bonita Bonita sits on the Gold Coast Highway at Mermaid Beach, on one of the coast's most established dining stretches between Broadbeach and Burleigh. A vibrant Mexican restaurant, it brings colourful, festive flavours and a buzzing atmosphere to the strip — the kind of fun, social spot that suits a group dinner, margaritas or a relaxed night out.

The appeal is that combination of crowd-pleasing Mexican food, a great drinks offering and a lively, welcoming setting in a great Mermaid Beach location, ideal for a sociable evening. The festive style of Mexican dining makes it a great fit for a fun night out, and it's clearly resonated with the local crowd.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,400 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Mermaid Beach restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or planning a livelier night out.
