Grill. Chill. Repeat.
Let La Bonita Handle the Rest.
It starts with that first loud sizzle—that savory pop when the carne hits the grill. Maybe it’s smoky pollo adobado, maybe it’s that citrus-soaked ranchera you’re doing up for Sunday’s cookout. Either way, once the marinade hits the flame and música floats from the speakers, you know exactly what kind of night it’s going to be.
This is summer, estilo La Bonita, where every weekend is a celebration.
The first stop is La Bonita’s carnicería, where the marinades are already working their magic, so you can skip straight to the fun part. Then it’s on to the produce—crates of fresh watermelon, avocados, and stone fruit—before a visit to the beer fridge, where ice-cold cervezas promise to keep things cool all weekend long.
Your Shortcut to Backyard Glory
La Bonita’s carnicería is where summer weekends get their spark. The display cases gleam with ruby-red Ranchera Preparada—a classic carne asada that’s been marinating in citrus and spices since dawn. Next to it, deep burgundy Adobada de Res and Adobada de Cerdo wait their turn, painted in La Bonita’s signature chile-rich marinades.
Want to shake things up a bit? Try the Codorniz Preparada—La Bonita’s marinated quail. They cook fast, pack serious flavor, and earn you instant bragging rights. When you’re planning a cookout for a crowd, the Charola Piernitas y Muslos party trays take the pressure off with drumsticks and thighs already seasoned and ready to go. Or go big with Costilla de Res or Costilla de Puerco—ribs that slow-cook into fall-off-the-bone, smoky satisfaction.
Remember, the carniceros behind the counter aren’t just butchers; they’re grill gurus who gladly share timing tips and temperature tricks. Ask about their marinade secrets, and they just might tell you how their Adobada gets those perfect caramelized edges. Whether you’re grilling Milanesa de Pollo for a quick family dinner or going all-out with Chuleta de Res, every cut comes with generations of flavor expertise built right in.

Crisp corn, vine-ripe tomatoes, buttery Hass avocados, juicy limes: these aren’t just toppings. They’re essentials—everything you need for taco night, salsas, and your family’s secret guac recipe.
Then it’s time to think about the produce for your cookout. Tomatillos blistered into tangy green salsa verde, golden Maradol papayas sliced into cooling salads, and plantains caramelized into sweet submission next to your favorite cut of meat.
For your fruit fix, you can’t miss the bins bursting with watermelon, honeydew, and sunset-colored peaches. Perfect fruit platters and aguas frescas….and let’s face it, that satisfying snack standing over the sink.
Here’s an insider secret: hit the produce section early morning or late afternoon when the best picks are still available. And don’t be shy—ask the team what just arrived. They’ve got the inside scoop on peak ripeness every single time.

Cold Beer & Summer Cheers
No summer cookout earns legendary status without the right lineup in the cooler. Corona with lime still rules the desert afternoon, but Modelo Especial practically begs to be paired with smoky carne asada. Dos Equis cuts through rich adobada like a champ, and when the Vegas sun is blazing at full power, Sol delivers that crisp refreshment you’re craving.
Feeling fancy? Nothing beats a michelada built your way. Spicy, salty, citrusy—a masterpiece in the making. Too hot to play bartender? The VMC ready-to-drink cheladas and margarita cocktails are like having a professional mixologist in your back pocket—no shaker required.
Smart hosts know the pairing game: darker brews like Negra Modelo love those chile-heavy marinades, while light lagers tame the heat of spicy pollo asado. Stack your cooler right, and every sip turns the meal up a notch.
The best part? La Bonita’s beer selection runs deep, so whether you’re team Pacifico or riding with Carta Blanca, your summer just found its perfect sidekick—ice-cold, low-effort, and made for the moment.

Tuna es la fruta que crece en el nopal. Sabiendo cuántos beneficios nutricionales nos brinda el nopal, no debería sorprendernos que la fruta de esta planta también nos provea beneficios impresionantes. La fruta de la tuna contiene antioxidantes, minerales y vitaminas como hierro, magnesio y potasio. También contiene fitonutrientes que se dice que reducen el riesgo de cáncer. También usamos tunas para hacer mermeladas y dulces, pero como nos estamos enfocando en la salud, decidimos compartir nuestra receta para el agua fresca. Es una manera maravillosa de utilizar esta fruta nutritiva para mantenerse fresco e hidratado. Cuando compra estas tunas, generalmente ya no tienen espinas, pero como precaución, con cuidado asegúrese de que no haya ninguna. Esperamos que esta agua fresca te guste tanto como a nosotros.
