Boniato - Restaurant — Restaurant in La Rochelle

Very impressed. Came down to La Rochelle for the weekend and found this Mexican restaurant just a short walk away from the marina. Refreshing change from all the seafood restaurants with incredible food. I had the Boniato tacos which were some of the best I’ve ever had. Even if you are a meat eater I’d recommend the boniato tacos. Bursting with flavour and pair it with the boniato and buffalo sauce for even more flavour.

Server I cannot remember the name of but she was lovely and made our day with a warm approach and her own recommendations. She even brought over extra sauces for us to try.

Overall...

We (a family of 5) dropped in yesterday for lunch, we'd not booked a table. Friendly greeting, seated immediately (only a small place, 20 covers inside?) but the restaurant was busy with lots of people getting up from their meals and others arriving. Convivial, relaxed atmosphere. Order taken promptly and arrived in short order and the food was uniformly excellent!! Empenada was exceptional and the chicken nachos were very popular. Sweet potato fries the star of the show! Very reasonably priced, can't wait to return when next we visit La Rochelle. Whole heartedly recommended - an easy 5 star review....

Simply brilliant in La Rochelle! The food was outstanding! Fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic Mexican cuisine. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive, even during the busy lunch rush.

The bilingual menu (French/English) clearly explains tacos, burritos, bowls, and more. You can even try five different hot sauces, with a special challenge: finish the spiciest menu and get dessert for free. We were a group of seven, found a table with no problem, and even our dog was welcomed with a water bowl. Spotless kitchen, clean bathrooms, and a warm atmosphere. We would come back...
