Went on a Sunday night Nice crowd! The server i think they said their name was Maria. Was very pleased with the shrimp fajita. It had plenty of shrimp and lots of onions and peppers. The rice and refried beans had a good flavor. My family member was pleased with their tacos. Only wish they had horchata. Would definitely go again! read more

Food was amazing, service was great and fast and very attentive. Deff recommend for good vibes!

Great customer service !!! The frozen margs are delicious & the nachos are to die for. Shoutouts to our waiter Alex, he was excellent!!

Stopped by here for taco Tuesday at 4pm. It was empty when we arrived but it got busy as the evening went by; both dining in and takeouts. It's not a huge spot but it has good amount of seating and it's not cramped. They also have 2 TVs, which is great because they were showing the soccer game I wanted to watch. Service was good and efficient. We were greeted soon as we walked in and told to sit where we liked. Someone came over shortly with menus and water. Our drinks and food orders came out pretty quickly and we were checked on often. We had the passion fruit margarita OTR and frozen. OTR is definitely better because the flavor was not blended/mixed evenly in the frozen, the flavor was separated on the bottom. We also had the guava and mezcal margaritas OTR. These were better. The mezcal is better in terms of "strong", the others tasted good but you didn't really taste any alcohol. We had the chips and guac to start. A pretty generous serving and the guac was good. We also had the pastor, carnitas, shredded chicken, and steak tacos. The pastor was by far the best. It was soo flavorful and yummy. The chicken and carnitas were ok, they could use a bit more seasoning. I don't eat steak but my friend said it was good. read more

Sonora - waiting for our lunch - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Everything was perfect just a lil pricey but worth it drinks were the most expensive thing

Listen, Id you know me you know tacos are my love languages and I am really picky about where I partake. Recently started working in Bedstuy and was strolling the neighborhood and happened upon this spot. It was too late for me to order as my break was almost over but I was curious enough to read the reviews and was intrigued. It's a nice location with both an indoor and outdoor vibe. The block has good energy and the outdoor seating kinds of call you in. My first visit, I play it real safe and just order two crispy chicken tacos to go. It took about 10 mins and the staff was courteous. Bay-bee let me tell you, I ate them things like I was about to surrender myself to jail. They were finger licking good. A week later when a friend suggested we meet for happy hour, I suggested we meet here. It was Friday and we arrived around 5:30 to a packed bar, several large groups inside but plenty of outdoor seating. Since it was in the 70's late October we were happy to choose that option. I got the frozen sangria Margarita and 2 crispy chicken and she had guac and chips with the same drink. Once again, scarfed the tacos down. Drink was hitting and I left happy. Needles to say, I'll be back. I'll expand and try new things but it's clear that there are hands down in my top 4 and at that price point, that makes this place a real gem. Go, you won't regret it. read more

Sonora - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I stopped in here on a Wednesday afternoon while waiting for a friend nearby. I sat at the bar. It was pretty empty inside, but there were a couple of people also sitting at the bar. I ordered the sangria margarita. It was just okay to me, but had a watered down taste. The bartender did need to be reminded to add the sangria so I'm not sure if it was made accurately. I would come back and try other drinks and food items on the menu. read more

Was put looking for something to eat and I was thinking Mexican. Passed one spot and had to go down some other blocks and came upon this gem. They had people outside and people inside. I ordered my food to go. I had the Bowl with shrimp and my boo had the grilled chicken taco and the beef one that stats with Barboa beef ( not the correct spelling). So one of the hostess told me that the BBQ beef was a hit so I got it and boo liked it. I am definitely going back and I would recommend this place. Oh and the happy hour is from 12-7 read more

Sooo happy I found this spot!! Walked in and the mariachi music was blasting. Finally, a Mexican restaurant in nyc that understands the assignment. I had been craving a good Mexican spot and this place does not disappoint. I'm only docking a star because they do not have happy hour. I HIGHLY recommend getting that in order. Also had to doc a star because the margarita drank is pure sugar; I had to order a tequila shot on the side just to balance it out. Here's what I liked: the chips and guacamole was fresh. The service was attentive and helpful. The tacos were average, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. I'm harsh sorry I'm from LA. I would come here again for the vibes and guacamole and chips.

Delicious veggie burrito with just the right amount of each of the ingredients. Yummy guacamole, highly recommend!

Was in the mood for tacos & this place was near by so I tried it. Wasn't impressed, the birria taco was a flour tortilla dipped in birria sauce it was gross. The spicy chicken taco was soggy. The best taco was the ground beef. Went in the summer & the ac wasn't on so it was very warm inside. Nothing to write home about I wouldn't try this place again. read more

Great food and fast and friendly thoughtful service. Our party of five had tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, burritos, guacamole and chips and tres leches cake. All were delicious and fresh. Server was friendly, helpful and on point. Even brought us a round of watermelon tequila shots for our sons birthday. Great spot for the neighborhood. read more

We stopped by Sonora in Brooklyn mostly out of convenience--it was within walking distance, and we needed a quick bite before a concert. But wow, it did not disappoint! The frozen margaritas were incredible--super refreshing and strong in the best way--and they even offer them to go. My boyfriend ordered the burger, and it was insanely juicy. I went for the shrimp tacos, and honestly, they were the best I've ever had. We ended up taking some extra food to go and ate it after the concert--and somehow, it tasted even better the second time around. Customer service was super great. It was a cute place that also offered bar seating as well. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out! read more

Absolutely perfect. Food was super tasty, drinks strong and well made, service was impeccable. So good. Cannot recommend more.

My three kids and I ate at Sonora this week. It has a really nice atmosphere and it's clean and friendly. To start, we ordered nachos with steak as an appetizer. Then we ordered a burrito bowl with pastor, and tacos with carnitas, shrimp and pastor. The nachos arrived after the entrees, and there wasn't much steak or cheese. They were expensive for what we got. The steak was bland and I was really in the mood for steak. The sour cream was a sauce. There was no salsa. And unfortunately, that was kind of par for the course with the rest of the dishes. One of the shrimp tacos had two small shrimp in it. The burrito bowl was largely devoid of pastor, maybe there were four small spoonfuls. There was a lot of finely shredded lettuce or cabbage, though, for all the dishes, including the nachos. The favor of the pastor was underwhelming. Which I didn't know was possible. Pastor is always so tasty. The lemonade and guava drinks the kids ordered tasted like they were made with a syrup and with the wrong ratio of syrup to water. When the check arrived there was an 18% service charge already added (we were four ppl). And then when we got the credit card receipt to sign there were options for 18% to 30% more in tip. So be careful to look at the bill before you add a tip. I think the place is busy because the decor is very inviting and there aren't other upscale restaurants around. Also, it could be a good place to have a beer with friends. Because what could go wrong with a beer. The bill was about $100. Of the five dishes, none of them was worth it. I left feeling ripped off. read more

they auto tip themselves 20% on the check pre tax dollars and they and say nothing about it. The worst staff ever, all are fireable. All staff who do not notify customers verbally should be let go. i will never go back! read more

Chorizo and Pastor tacos were super yummy. Shrimp quesadilla was good too! Vibe sitting outside was chill and relaxing.

Been looking for a decent Mexican eatery in Brooklyn and just may have found one here. Portions are large-sized. Tacos are good. Variety of dishes and drinks offered. Service is quick. Indoor and outdoor seating. Music is slightly loud but not a nuisance. Indoor is kept cool during the hot day I went. read more

Sometimes when you have good company certain things dont really bother you that much. I really would like to give this place a 3.5 stars. When we arrived there was only 3 other people there. I was in a rush so that was perfect for me. Fast service... or so I thought. Kinda spacious and pretty clean set up. The bricks on the walls gave it a slightly rustic homely feeling. Right away we ordered titos with lemonade which was horrendous. It was so sour I had no choice but to return it back and our waitress was kind enough to switch it to titos with passion fruit. It was quite tasty. I had the steak quesadilla - a tad bit salty and very well done. I requested some kind of spicy salsa to dip it with. It came with a little bit of rice that was small but filling. My friend had the burger- requested medium and it came out very well which made it slightly dry. The fries were cool. The service was iffy. We had to wave her done a few times. Would I return? Sure why not. Football was on (Go Chelsea) read more

Are you looking for a place where you can pay more in "included service fee" after you already tip on the bill? Well, this is the place for you! You're only given the bill AFTER you decide to leave a tip, then realizing that they ALREADY include a 18% service fee before you decide to tip on the bill. Super sketchy, definitely won't be tipping on future meals there. read more

It's alllll about the sangria margaritas for me! I think this place is more popular for their margaritas than anything else and it's the only place I door dash alcohol from! Sonora has an authentic Mexican menu and the food is pretty good overall. I'm not a fan of the ground beef burrito, it was very plain and basic, but also tasty enough that I finished the whole thing! My recommendation is to try the fish tacos, either crispy or soft shell, they're absolutely incredible!! But more than anything you absolutely positively MUST try the sangria margarita.. Trust me on this. read more

Their prices are reasonable and there's street parking available during the week. The staff was great and friendly. I definitely recommend it. read more

I ordered a passion fruit margarita and it was nasty. It tasted like cough syrup. The tacos were decent. I had better. Their wings are okay. The fries are pretty good. I happen to meet the owner who was working. He turns out to be an a--hole. My friend asked him who's the owner. He said, "that's my name on the wall. See!" and he pointed to the wall our eyes didn't follow. We just looked at him like something was wrong. He rubbed us off the wrong way. Save your time and money y'all. It ain't worth it. This was my first and it'll be my last here. read more

They have brunch now! This neighborhood doesn't have a lot of brunch options so I'm thrilled. I got the tres leches French toast, and I admit I'm biased because I'll eat anything tres leches, but it was very good. (Also pretty--see picture.) My wife loved her chilaquiles. And my bloody Maria was nicely spicy. read more

Sad to say Sonora has officially become touch and go. Today I ordered salmon only to find that it was cooked like a brick-- chewy and overdone to the point of being inedible. The margaritas we ordered were also saccharine sweet. More or less a diabetic coma in a cup. When I asked them to prepare me a new piece management refused and told me I would be charged full price. Suffice it so say, my enthusiasm for this new arrival to the neighborhood has all but disappeared. F minus for customer service. this is one establishment where the customer is NOT always right. Couldn't be more disappointed. read more

Food is good and service is great and the margarita drinks I could take them to go you can sit in and outside

This was the most disappointing update I have ever had to leave. The service was atrocious. I arrive to the restaurant at about 11:00 a.m. and was the 1st person there. The to female servers that will on staff looked at me as if I was there to stand in the doorway as opposed to have a seat I told them how many they told me pick a seat. I waited for my friends to arrive and in the meantime ordered fries and water. In what world does fry's take 30 minutes? I glanced at these 2 servers numerous times over this time period wondering about the fries with no feedback visually over. When I finally called one over to inquire about the fries still took another 10 to 15 minutes. The explanation was the kitchen wasn't fully open. Ok. When the fries came out all the dishes for the other customers who arrived 15, 20 and 30 minutes after me also came out looking fantastic! The plates piled high hot and fresh. When my friends arrived in ordered steak and eggs and the other on omelette. Mind you my other friends have ordered these exact items before when I visited this place. When the food came out it looks as if we were at a restaurant that was plating in the master chef competition in the first weeks, where the majority of the plate with showing food overcooked and unappetizing. The runner was the only one with a smile. When mine arrived, which was later than the others, the chicken was actually still raw and bleeding. As for the fries, it's obvious that they haven't changed the oil with the flavor of old food settled in. My friends said the food tasted okay but the portion was half the size of other patrons. The waffle was rubbery, lukewarm and drenched with surup. No thanks. The only thing that still tastes decent was the mimosas which have now gone up two dollars, now $4 each for the same small flute. For $57 and note (and $2 tip when i usually 20-30%) we left hungry and said but at least I didn't get salmonella. read more

Delicious hang out spot in an up and coming section of Bed-Stuy. Outdoor seating and strong drinks. Cousin to Tepache but with alcohol. The meat eaters loved their burgers but I had an amazing vegan meal. This place is going to be a scene this summer but so what. They have a live DJ yall. June 27 Service can be really slow sometimes. This was one of those times. Thank god the drink strength made up for it. read more
