Review Chica Bonita Manly - Manly

Best margaritas in town! Lunch menu is definitely my favourite - burrito or bowl is always a tough decision - both are so good. Love the cozy feel of the venue and staff is super nice.

A super chill Mexican spot with amazing vibes here in Manly. The food was amazing, especially the carne asada chips; crispy chips topped with guacamole, cheese, salsa and tender steak slices! The margarita here was awesome too, super refreshing on a hot sunny beachy day.

Came here for dinner and really enjoyed it! The entrees were good and the taco ingredients fresh, really crispy chips with the guac

Great little place with super friendly and attentive staff, amazing food and delicious drinks! Cosy and intimate setting, perfect for a date spot. Margaritas were so yummy and refreshing on a hot night (and maybe a little too easy to drink)! The food came out fast and hot and the guacamole and pico de gallo was so fresh and delicious! Make sure to come early if you want a table or be prepared to wait. Definitely recommended and we’ll be coming back for sure next time we visit Manly!

Tasty food, refreshing margaritas, killer playlist. What more can you ask for! Had the chicken bowl, which comes with this spicy pumpkin seed paste (so good!). Margarita is refreshing but a bit on the weaker side.

Lively music, good food and friendly staff- total Mexican vibe. Love it!

Didnt meet expectations given the ratings. Good atmosphere and setting. Long wait time even though not busy and seeing the food the only thing that needed proper cooking was frying the fish. Portions small, the Baja Bowl was soggy mcdonalds chips with a few fried fish bites and some greens. The Baja Tacos was tasty, but small and not worth $6. All things said the food itself is OK but would not return.

Great place to have Mexican food. Love their Baja taco and tuna tostada. Guacamole is also a great option, we never made it past Entrada. Poolside mocktail was so delicious, just needed some tequila shot. Don't forget the takeaway Margarita.

How do I live on the beaches and not now about this place! Great atmosphere and totally awesome staff! Aaron is worth more money! He made the night! Best service on the peninsula! Delicious food and agreeable by all the best bar tender around! best best best!!! Yummo!

Food wise? Amazing! One of the best burritos I ever had, since I used to live in California and I know Mexican food pretty well- those California burritos rock! I'm pretty disappointed at 2 things: - portion sizes - I've always been going there since you guys opened and the burritos were really tick with a good chunk of steak in it. But lately you guys kind of drop the quality of it since there's tiny bits of steaks we could barely taste, and the price continues the same. It's a shame because a few of my friends (Chica Bonita loyal customers too!) are saying the same... - customer service: there's a waiter there named Aaron that is very arrogant and not helpful at all. The other 2 dudes are very cool and polite, but my experience yesterday made me very disappointed in general. This waiter Aaron was rude to us since the beginning just because we had a pram with a baby in it. Then we wanted to be helpful and go to the counter to order because they were so busy and in a rude manner he kind of shouted: "go sit down and I will take your order". Then I kindly talked to him about the "carne assada" portion that we bought for the baby (plus the 2 California burritos we order for ourselves - my husband and I) and I showed him: "can you please come and have a look for yourself, there's probably 4 or 5 tiny pieces of steak in my portion and I've been coming here since the guys opened, I know the owners and I love here." - he stoped me and said: "I know them too!" - what a rude man! I'm sorry, but this is NOT customer service. Anyway, when I paid the bill, he just said the value ($43,90) and didn't give me any receipt which is not legal to do. Then I asked for the receipt but he asked for my credit card first. I gave it to him, and then he gave me the receipt folded. Off course I opened and he has charged me $3,50 for a little portion of steak after my complaint. I said: "did you guys charge for the extra portion?" He simply said: "yes we did"- nothing else. So rude. Ok. Do you think is fair to pay $14 for French fries and guacamole? I'm very disappointed. When I was pregnant i used to go there twice a week (there was an adorable cool girl but she's not there anymore) and even the owners know me well since I've introduced the restaurant to people at Hurley when I used to manage their store in the corso and always send tourists to have lunch there, since the food was so good. But I'm not so sure anymore, as the sizes and portions changed, but not the price!

I've been 3 times and every single experience here is absolutely amazing! The food is brilliant, cocktails strong and delicious (not to mention cheap!) and the staff are out of this world, going above and beyond with their service and getting food/drinks out so quickly! I recommend this to everyone who's willing to listen! P.s the Baja fish taco is next level amazing!

yo yo yo, had an awesome time, unfortunately there were no tables available but they were still able to hit us up with some stools and it was super chill, yummy cocktails and backing the bartender with the facial hair, don't limit your top lips for a November fellas. Food was delicious and speedy exactly what we were after. Staff were amazingly friendly and listened to the dietary requests of my boyfriend. Couldn't recommend Chica Bonita more!

The best mexican tasted by far....the coconut lime margarita was the best.

Awesome spot for the food, the servers, the music and the bevys. Highly highly recommend!!!

Great food very loud music though so if you dont like the tracks eat fast.

I adore their food, iv always had a great tasty meal and doesn’t break the bank!!!’ Love 💗

Our favourite place to eat in Manly and never disappoints. Great food and atmosphere.

Scored a last minute table just as the kitchen was closing, owner did us a big favour by selecting a few dishes for us. Service, managament, food, music (The Cure) &vibe was awesome. Thanks, I keep coming back for a reason.

At 1pm they closed half the restaurant and rudely turned our party of two away, despite a empty table available next to the cashier. "We have no table for you".. Well i guess we no longer have business for you.

Came last week for the first time and not sure if I will be back. My boyfriend and I shared the chimichanga's which were absolutely tiny. I had no idea how small they were. I also had the pink Margherita. Supposedly watermelon. It tasted like nothing and at the bottom of the jar it looked like dish water. Not sure if they put pepper or chillies in it, it didn't look appealing and didn't taste great either. The guys that worked that night didn't have much of a customer service attitude, think they were more concerned how they looked and how their beards were. But they don't care cause they can turn the tables around 3-4 times a night. Don't think we will be back!!

Best Burritos in Sydney!! The fish one is to die for. Cannot wait to go back again. Excellent customer service. Thank you and keep it up guys!!

Great vibe, great food! Try the mega lagerita, it’s hard core!

Always have an amazing time here! Excellent food, excellent service! Staff are super friendly and an awesome atmosphere! Was recommended cocktails and food by waitress, not disappointed at all!! Love it!!

Amazing venue, great vibe, fab service and wonderful food. Don't tell anyone!

Great place to fill ya belly and drink Mexican beer.
