Good, quick, friendly service and good food if you're looking for a quick bite to eat. I wouldn't put this at the top of my list for Mexican food but it is a few notches above Filiberto's. Don't expect too much when you get here. It is a little hole in the wall but still a decent set up. I will stop again if I'm looking for a quick bite when passing through Gila Bend read more

ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE STOP!! We were starving on our drive to San Diego and decided to stop at Sofia's due to the stellar reviews. Y'all!!!!! The food was amazing and we loved the family vibes in the restaurant. A hidden gem for sure. I had the shrimp burrito which was flavorful and ginormous! My daughter had the 3 beef flautas combo and my husband had the 3 chicken enchiladas combo. Everything was incredible and served super fast. If you find yourself in Gila Bend make sure you stop at Sofia's!! read more

Visited for lunch on Sunday and had a great experience. The chips and salsa were tasty. I enjoyed the spice of the salsa, husband was not a fan. I ordered the Gorditas, one chicken, one carne asada. Husband ordered cheese enchiladas. Both meals were fresh and delicious. The rice was fluffy and the beans were a great texture. The ladies working were friendly and efficient. The restaurant is a bit run down, but was clean. We enjoyed our visit and will return when in the area. (I forgot to snap any photos!) read more

My friend and I ride our MC's south from Glendale & Avondale in the winter months and mor times than not we eat here. Tasteful and good sized portions w friendly service. We've never been dissatisfied. Always ready for a ride down to Sophia's. Patrons are friendly also. read more

I ordered the fish taco and shrimp enchilada and recommend it. Refried beans and rice came with. All excellent. No dyspepsia/burping afterwards. Funky little spot with table service and outside dining. It was recommended to me by a local up in Arlington. Brisk to go service and I watched 10 orders in 10 minutes served at tables and OTD. Sit outside in the shaded dining area to watch the traffic go by. Beats the fast food joints down the road. A nice 911 memorial park is just east across the street and is also a nice spot to sit and eat. read more

Stopped at Sofia's in Gila Bend and I'm so glad we did! Total hidden gem. The food was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot after a long drive. The salsa had the perfect kick, and everything tasted homemade. The service was super friendly too, it's like walking into someone's kitchen instead of a restaurant. If you're passing through, don't skip this place, it's a must-stop! read more

Good authentic Mexican food. I was so hungry I didn't take any pictures :) The service was great, very sweet and kind server. The restaurant isn't anything special inside but it doesn't need to be, it's clean and has seating inside and out. I will stop again when traveling through town. read more

This place advertises and sells coupons online and doesn't honor them, and to make it worse they are extremely rude about it like the customer is the dummy for even dreaming of trying to use an advertised coupon at their store. Congratulations "So-Fulla-Shit!'s" You just lost out on an easy $500-$1000 in profit over next couple months from 1-2 people! No wonder this place is always so empty. read more

Great food, great service. Stopped in aroubd 1830 on our way back from to the Valley. Placed our order (2 combination plates, drinks and a tamale) and it was in front of us within 10 minutes of when we sat down. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. Restaurant was clean and well laid out. We will definitely be stopping by here for meals on future trips. read more

Nice hole in the wall. The chips and salsa are fantastic and everything else I've gotten has been good too. The server Priscilla is great.

Good food. Very, very, very slow service. If you are in a hurry do not stop here. I mean really slow.

Great little find in Gila Bend. Excellent service which felt like being at someone's home. Very comfortable seating as well as a large patio for the cooler months of the year. Everyone starts off with a warm bowl of chips and a large carafe of hot sauce. Their hot sauce does have a nice little kick which was unexpected. Definitely hit the spot. For lunch I had the #1 combination, Sonoran Enchilada served with rice and beans. The enchilada was made with a Gordita rather than tortillas. It's stacked with layers of meat (I chose ground beef), enchilada sauce and cheese. Ground beef was well seasoned and super tender while the sauce was smokey with a slight sweetness. My hubbies 2 Cheese Enchiladas were super tasty as well. Excellent refried beans too! Oh, and a cheese quesadilla! So crispy, so cheesy, slathered in salsa I mean come on, how can life get much better. If on your way to here or there, Sofia's Mexican Food is a great place to stretch your legs and fill your tummy with tasty eats!

Sofia's Mexican Food is a great stop in Gila Bend! The chips and salsa are fantastic--the salsa has a nice spicy kick and is very tasty. We shared the 2 tacos and tostada combo, which was delicious and satisfying. To top it off, I finished with a sweet churro that was the perfect dessert. Highly recommended for anyone passing through! read more

Sofias is a small family owned place and it was really nice. Everyone was friendly and the food was great.i had a breakfast burrito this time. It was great but the thing I really liked was the fact they gave me a small carafe of salsa. It was great and so was their coffee. My wife had the French toast which said was delicious. There are not many places to eat in Gila Bend but Sofias is a cut above the rest. I would definitely recommend Sofias for a nice breakfast. read more

I was so hungry traveling across the state I probably would have eaten anything but seriously, this was one of the best meals of my trip. It is a local place, nothing at all fancy about it but the food was awesome and drinks were cold! read more

Ordered the shrimp burrito. Super thin fresh burrito stuffed with lots of shrimp, seasoned rice and cheese. Delicious!

Good good food Don't go to any other place, first day we went to the best western restaurant and it is very bad and very expensive. Check your receipt before paying I will go again! I ordered enchiladas verdes very good with a lot of chicken and cheese My ordered a flat meat with salsa frijoles rice Very good read more

We can't recommend this place enough Some of the best salsa we've ever had - probably the first time we've not had to ask for "spicier" salsa! Service was excellent, even though they were super busy. We had enchiladas, tamales, tacos, and a tostado. Will definitely return if we pass this way again! read more

Good food, service was ok, as there was only one person working, but did a great job!

I was in Gila Bend Az for an event and spoke with a couple of the locals and they recommended Sofia's Mexican food. Chips and salsa awesome! Lots of flavor. Shrimp Burrito awesome! When I'm in the area again I will be sure to make another visit Sa Say Bon read more

Driving back from Mexico an was still craving Mexican food and this place hit the spot, food and service was amazing. Thank you

Stopped by this little hole in the wall restaurant on our way to Peoria from San Diego. Ordered chiles rellenos, tacos/ tostadas combo, and bean and cheese burrito. We were all pleasantly surprised. All the food was delicious and fresh!! From the chips and salsa to the beans... service was friendly and fast!! Gracias! read more

Outstanding little friendly hole in the wall, with fabulous food and quick service ( lunch time ) lots of cars out front.

You can't rate this place for ambience. It is a simple, spartan restaurant with good food. The salsa is always a benchmark for me with Mexican restaurants, and Sofia's salsa is excellent. My first thought was that it was pretty bland, and then it started to do its work. My wife is not normally a salsa fan, but she really got into it, too. She had two ground beef tostadas. They were excellent. I had a bean and cheese burrito, which sounds rather mundane, but I would definitely order it again. It was big and full of wonderful refried beans. It is not a Taco Bell burrito. If you are passing through Gila Bend and looking for a place for a good meal this is a good option. It is not fast food. It is very good food. read more

My veggie burrito was prepared and quick. I was worried it would have those terrible cubed-frozen breakfast potatoes. But no, the potatoes had been made in house and gave the burrito some amazing creaminess with the perfectly seasoned beans. The kitchen looked sparkling clean. I will stop here everytime I am on the raod passing through Gila Bend. read more

Moved to the Phoenix area over a year ago and this is the best Mexican food I've had since moving here. Delicious and our waitress was fantastic. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Omg this makes up for the Italian restaurant I went to last night. On the road back home, stopped at this little place. It is FANTASTIC. I got a 2 tacos and 1 tamal combo, and whoo, let me tell you, perfect proton for me. It is amazing, and the tamal really tasted like a tamal unlike other Mexican restaurants. The only complaint for the food is the fact that I pulled out something floppy from it, but eh, I just took it out and continued to eat it, didn't change the flavor or make it taste bad. The service is amazing, other than some issues with hearing her, but amazing. The ambiance could be cleaner, but this seems like an older building and it's kind of falling apart. I 100% would drive out here to eat again. read more

Excellent Mexican food, served hot & freshly made. We almost always stop here for lunch when traveling between Tucson & San Diego. Service always friendly & prompt. Definitely a "hole in the wall" spot (a bit run down), but dang - you arguably can't get better Mexican food! read more

Staying the night here in Gila Bend and was recommended this place. Less than an hour from the border I figured the food here would be decent. It was better than that! The place is a small, 10 seat restaurant opposite side of the street from the tracks and about 0.5 miles from the truck stop (if you reach Burger King you've gone too far). Sitting down I was brought a basket of warm, fresh tortilla chips and a salsa with a slight kick. Some of the better chips and salsa I've had in awhile. Dinner was Sofie's Combo which included a chili rellano, cheese enchilada and a tamale wrapped in corn leaves. This was Mexican food the way I would imagine it being. The tastes of all three were great. The portion was plenty (even though something inside wanted more). The service was good and the prices reasonable. In all this was a great surprise especially since I had no idea what food options would even be in this town. read more

This is a small establishment that feels and tastes like home. From the ladies that make the food to the customers, you'll never find a more inviting atmosphere filled with friendships and love. The food is flavorful and while the green chili burro is my absolute fave, the family all enjoyed their plates as well. read more

Looking for a quick bite to eat in Gila Bend and found this gem. The tortillas were homemade. I had a carnitas taco and cheese enchilada. The enchilada sauce was perfectly flavored - a little smaller than I thought, but it ended up being the perfect amount. The carnitas was cooked perfectly. Also got the pica de gallo on the taco. Great meal. You can sit down or order to go. And the wait staff was so nice! I'll definitely be back. read more

Always good fresh food. Small indoor seating area but service is quick and good. Definitely the best restaurant in Gila Bend. The carne asada was amazing. read more

First Impression: It looks like its closed, even their 'Open' sign was off and they have dark windows. They stop serving breakfast at 11am, no exceptions. It's a relatively small place with some booths and a couple of tables. They have high chairs (although I only saw 1). The restrooms are outside in a patio area (you can eat outside but there's no service there) and they are clean with a baby's changing station. We had the California Burrito which was ok... the tortilla was good but the meat was a little dry and was lacking spices, as well as the potatoes, added the salsa and it helped. Regular burrito size. We also got the Carnitas order... these were better than the burrito, not too dry, good flavor. The rice & beans were meh, I'd even say more on the not good side, just lacking flavor. The pico was fresh though. Service was pretty basic. Overall it is alright if you really want to stop at a restaurant instead of just the gas station but wouldn't be excited to come back. read more
