The Mexican food was not good. I wanted the pozole but they ran out so I ordered nachos and my bf ordered a burrito. The margarita was amazing! I was able to eat my food after getting a buzz The atmosphere was great too. I think the restaurant should focus on a simple street taco that’s delicious because maybe it was too complicated.

Amazing food! You MUST try the salsa verde! Had vegan options for my wife! (They did veggie tacos with beans and rice for her which aren’t listed on the menu, but they were super accommodating)
I got the California burrito which was amazing Mexican-American fusion
Beautiful mountain view outside with a free tower viewer!

My girlfriend and I visited Bonanza Cantina in Virginia City, NV, this past Sunday and had a great experience overall. We chose to sit out back on the porch, which offers beautiful, distant views of Sugarloaf Mountain, Rose Peak, and Mount Grosh. The staff greeted us warmly, and we headed to the saloon for a couple of beers before ordering the #8 Taco Plate (three tacos, beans, and rice).
I opted for all-pork tacos, while my girlfriend tried carne asada, pork, and chicken. The pork and chicken tacos were especially flavorful, although the rice could have used a bit more seasoning. We also got chips and salsa on the side—I highly recommend the salsa! Our server was very friendly, which added to the relaxed vibe.
Bonanza Cantina is worth a stop if you’re in Virginia City and looking for good tacos and scenic surroundings. Grab a seat on the porch, enjoy the view, and don’t skip the salsa!

Good place. Several craft beers in bottles and 4 options on draft. Nicely decorated. Live music. Fast and friendly service. Indoor and outdoor seating.

The Mexican food cantina at the bonanza is nothing to write home about. Flavor wise is ok, and the portions are ok. The staff was nonchalantly rude, which is surprising, especially considering VC is a tourist town. The location is nothing special either, just an ‘old-wooden building’ passing for an old western saloon – we sat out on the deck, which is slanted and doesn’t give you much confidence regarding its stability. The view is meh too. First and last time I make the drive out there…

This restaurant was huge. The back patio really has a beautiful view. I think it’s called 1,000,000 mile view. There’s even a telescope that you can use for free. The main dining area is interesting and is filled with lots of little pieces of movie history. Our service was really friendly. The chimichanga and burritos were really good. I had chilaquiles. The chilaquiles I’m sorry to report, We’re not all that great but I was eating them for lunch, so maybe it’s because it wasn’t part of the regular breakfast.

Food really wasn’t very good. The wait staff was very good. It was cold inside the resturant, we were looking to get warm. Eating with jackets and hats on was no fun.

Mediocre Mexican food. Not the best not the worse 4/10. Salsa was the only good thing.

Very nice staff and good food. Burritos are a little ricey but good flavor. They do not have Celiac safe gluten free options.
