La Bonita's
La Bonita's is a downtown Palm Springs, California, taquería known for queso tacos served in crisp fried-cheese shells.
Overview
La Bonita's operates in downtown Palm Springs with indoor and patio seating. Visit Greater Palm Springs describes it as a locals' favorite on its Greater Palm Springs Taco Trail and in its list of authentic Mexican restaurants in the area.
The signature is the cheese-shell taco, in which a layer of cheese is griddled until it crisps and then folded around the filling. The menu also covers classic street tacos, grilled mahi mahi tacos, crispy fried fish tacos and guacamole.
Notes
Crisped-cheese tacos have become a fixture in Southern California taquerías, and La Bonita's has made them its calling card in the Coachella Valley. Sources do not give a street address, founding date or owners.
