La Bonita Restaurant Wellington, Ottawa, ON

Our founder, La Bonita herself, is from the State of Jalisco, the part of Mexico known famously for its Mariachi and the best tequila. In the yard of the family home where she spent her childhood, fruit trees were always giving throughout the year; avocados, limes, mangos, starfruit, passion fruit, guavas and papayas were always in abundance. Delicious food literally fell from the sky! She remembers watching her father create in the kitchen with fresh ingredients, and it was her family’s dedication to delicious food and hard work that inspired her to open a restaurant.
