Monterrey Ribeye Burgers — Restaurant in Chula Vista

Quick seating and decent service, but I don’t see this place lasting without rethinking its pricing. I get that the burgers are made with ribeye, but there needs to be a more affordable option. Bonita isn’t downtown San Diego—and even if it were, nearly $30 for a burger and fries without a drink is excessive.

For comparison: Hayes Burger in Barrio Logan charges around $15 for a double burger and fries. Stone Brewing serves a wagyu burger with bone marrow butter and Gruyère for about $17. Karl Strauss also offers a burger and fries for $17. Rocky’s Crown Pub—widely considered the gold standard for burgers in San Diego—comes in around $16.

As for the burgers here, they’re fine. But they come without any vegetables—just two unusually greasy buns, Thousand Island spread, a meat patty, cheddar cheese, and a spicy serrano relish.

Another minor observation, the dining area is filled with flies.

Some room for improvement, but I'll try again in the near future. I like the concept and a decent burger with a craft beer selection is definitely needed in Bonita. I love that they serve Guinness and some maltier beers and not just the standard...

Excellent burgers... they taste like smash burgers grilled on an open flame. Their sauce is also great... just the right amount of spiciness. The 1st time I ate their fries they were a little undercooked; the 2nd time I had them they were perfect. Service was prompt, professional, and personal.

They're only open the same times as the Little Irish Beer Garden, so they are not convenient for lunch, unless it's a late one. They're a separate enterprise from the pub, so you have to order and pay for food and beer/wine separately. This is a minor hassle. The atmosphere is austere - it almost feels like a conference room with TVs, but it has comfortable seating - chairs and couches - and it is nice to watch sports while enjoying a great burger and craft beers. They had great live music on Saturday, 26 April; it would be super if they do that regularly. All in all, it's fantastic to have new and different venues for good food and drinks in Bonita. Note: I only gave it 4 stars because of the undercooked fries the first time I ate there. The fries were perfect the 2nd time I had them, so if they are perfect again next time, I'll increase the...

DISAPPOINTED! Today was my second visit. The first was dine in, and the food/service was great. I send a group of my family there for a dine-in meal on Friday and they loved everything. I went in this evening, and the place was not busy. I ordered to go, two single burger combos without Sauce. Order was read back and I reaffirmed no aioli/sauce when it was brought out, only to get home and discovered sauce. NOT WHAT I ORDERED AND PAID FOR. I called on-line number 3 times and no answer. I left one voice message. Then I called the Fresh number and left my info for a call. This is a customer service failure that needs to be rectified and made right. I have pictures and burgers were tossed in...
