La Bonita Mexican Food @ Santa Monica & Edgemont

[blacksab67]

Looking for a quick review of "La Bonita Mexican Food" at Santa Monica and Edgemont in the East Hollywood/Los Feliz area.

It looks like it could be an outstanding "mom & pop."

Then again...there's a "B" in the window.

Is it BYOB?

I have never tried it, but that B rating must be recent as the health dept. web site shows a Nov '05 rating of 92, or A, and all previous ratings have been either B or A.
Is this place diagonally across from Marouch, my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant - sure sounds like it?

Yeah, they did have good stuff at the old place. I'm thinking of the soup with the corn on the cobb in it--what's it called?

I haven't eaten there in a year or two. (They have, or at least had, a regular transsexual hooker clientele, which, inexplicably, put off the Missus). When I went there, in their old location, I thought the food was excellent. Grandma and mom were in the kitchen cranking out really wonderful homemade Mexican food with tons of love, and the son/son-in-law (I think) was serving. I thought it was some of the best Mexican food I've had, but, like I said, it's been a while and they've since moved.

If you give them a try, please report back. (The Missus is going out of town in a couple of weeks, and I just might have to swing by for dinner one night.)
