We ordered Bacon croquettas, Baked salmon with grilled cabbage, quinoa & furikake salad, Gambas al ajillo, Ripe mango smoothie, and Berry banana yogurt smoothie. The Bacon croquettas were absolutely delicious—I've ordered this multiple times at Bonitos. They're soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, with a delightful blend of ingredients. They serve 8 pieces, making it a filling starter. The Baked salmon was served looking slightly overcooked, almost bordering on burnt. However, the taste was still decent. It was served with tricolor quinoa, which I'm not accustomed to, so I couldn't fully appreciate if it complemented the dish well. Overall, it was okay. The Gambas al ajillo had excessive oil (see picture), but the flavor was satisfactory. ⚠️Although their seafood menus were pricey. The smoothies were enjoyable, especially the Berry banana yogurt smoothie, which has become my new favorite. The restobar has a pleasant vibe and attractive design. ⚠️However, my main issue was the staff were standing too close and some staring while we ate. I would prefer a bit more distance and privacy. Additionally, their current location at One Bonitos is quite far, unlike their previous spot near the main road, which was more convenient. UPDATE I got to try their NEW Signature Plate, the Beef Kalderetang Batangas, which includes soup, salad, rice, brownie, lemonade, and coffee. As usual, the kaldereta was delicious, but the soup served was different from what was on the menu. The cake slice was also quite small. The coffee seemed too bitter for me, but I’m not a coffee fan, so it might be fine for others.

Disappointing, but I write this with humility and hope for improvement. Bonitos Bar and Restaurant has always been at the top of my list for good dining spots in Los Baños. It’s been our go-to for special occasions and small gatherings. We’ve always loved the place—especially the food. Unfortunately, our recent visit did not live up to expectations. It was our first time dining at their new location, and it seems not only the address had changed but also the service. On December 14, my family and I had a late lunch there to celebrate my birthday. What was meant to be a joyous occasion left us disheartened. To start, my sister discreetly asked if there was a cake on the menu and if the staff could sing to surprise me. A female staff member responded curtly, saying they only had a slice of cake. My sister let it slide, but the interaction felt unnecessarily rude. Then came the food. It arrived cold, as though it had been sitting out rather than made to order. The grilled pork belly was tough, the pizza tasted stale, and the pasta was bland and missing ingredients. Finally, the bill took a long time to arrive. We had to follow up, only to overhear the same female staff member remark, “Bakit, cash ba yan? Kung cash yan, uunahin ko.” The restaurant wasn’t even busy at the time. And honestly, who carries cash nowadays? I tried to be understanding, wondering if perhaps they were adjusting to new management or staff. But after reaching out through their Messenger, I learned that wasn’t the case. I understand how challenging it is to work in the service industry—I’ve been there myself. I share this feedback not out of spite but as a reminder that consistency and care make all the difference. Every action, positive or negative, leaves an impression. I hope this serves as a nudge to restore the quality and hospitality that once made Bonitos a favorite.

Really late review because we dined there last year, I only saw their post about moving to the bigger One Bonitos branch so I remembered haha. We've only dined here once. Prices are expensive. I definitely do not recommend for a daily student budget meal haha! I really do like the sisig (except for the sides and slightly burnt egg), the ale was great and the other dish leaves much to be desired that I don't even recall what it was called. We had to order rice on the side since we got the for sharing sisig. The atmosphere of the place is pretty nice. Shelves with their drink selection lines one side of the wall and there are nice seating options. When we went there only two or three other people were dining so it was kind of a surprise why the food took a bit long. Staff billing out seemed to be okay, albeit long. Beware, if you are going to take out - they only offer foil and a paper bag. I do not know if that is the case anymore since we never went back due to the price plus there are cheaper but great sisig options near our home. Overall a 3.9/5 star experience! Their new location seems great but it is a bit out of the way for those who want to visit.

TL;DR: Overpriced food served cold. Edible but not great. Hard to see why this restaurant is so highly praised. The food is overpriced for its quality and taste, especially the pasta and pizza. The pasta is bland and lacks flavor, while the pizza dough is chewy and equally flavorless. 🙃 The rice meals are presented in a fancy way but fail to deliver in terms of taste. And seriously, what kind of buffalo wings taste like creamy kaldereta? 💀💀 Also, why do they even serve the rice separately in a bowl? It just makes it obvious that the rice was sitting in a corner of the kitchen until someone ordered a rice meal. 😩 The major issue, however, was the unbearably long wait time. Despite being told to expect a 30- to 45-minute wait due to the number of customers, we ended up waiting an hour, only to be served cold food. I had hoped the delay meant the dishes were freshly cooked, but that clearly wasn’t the case. 🤡🤡 Honestly, I don’t even know if people genuinely enjoy this kind of food, given how highly praised this restaurant is.

We went for a roadtrip and food trip to Los Banos. From the recommendation from a friend, they suggested we try this restaurant as its one of the old restaurants here in the area thats known for its comfort food and affordable prices. We ordered the following: Pesto pasta set with cheeseburger and chips - pasta was okay and for the quality good price 259 php Pork belly with cilantro rice - just 3 slices of pork while it was flavorful it was a very small amount. Rice was a bit too rich and i didnt really taste the cilantro 359 php Pork sisig - too wet 329 php Sausage and pepper brickoven pizza - i forgot how much this was but the bottom of the pizza seemed pasty as they apparently dont use brick oven anymore. False advertising. Creamy buffalo wings - 8 pcs of wings, the cream sauce tasted weird. Overall, it didnt really taste like comfort food or affordable. They did have a selection of wines, imported beers and sausages though in their in house deli.

While the atmosphere is welcoming the service, and the food is the total opposite. Carbonara is salty, bacon is burnt; tastes bitter. Blueberry cheesecake tastes bland and has too thick base. Service is very disappointing. We followed up several times for just the lemonade worth 85 pesos. Followed up several times the Blueberry Cheesecake. The terminal for card payment is not working. The cashier, while processing our bill, entertained another customer where in fact it was supposed to be our turn since we billed out first, resulting to delay of payment. The staff/cashier even asked as to what is our table number which we really do not have an idea. They should have known it. Overall, the restaurant for its price range is not worth the visit. Not recommended at all.
