    Shrimp appetizer
    Jeff C.

    Mouthwatering Mexican food served to you from scratch, no heat lamps or pre-prepared meals in a cooler. The menu is derived of imported Mexican or local ingredients whenever possible and it shows. A particular shout out to the shrimp fajitas with just-cooked tortillas! Fantastic bar too. The service was beyond impressive. The food gods honored us with Colin, who provided solutions for all of our pickiness and questions, and whipped up a mean chorizo- and beer-based queso tableside. His suggestions for drink roulette with our libations helped us get two original drinks that had us discussing them on our way back to Salt Lake after the meal. This place is an escalation of Mexican food and as a result, you'll get an enhanced experience as well as food quality. It's a great place to take a date or out-of-town visitor and not have to worry about loss of social capital through inconsistency, poor flavor or meh ambiance.

    Enchiladas
    Larry B.

    I keep telling myself that I am never going back. Well tonight was the final straw. We will never go back. I ordered the beef enchiladas and my wife ordered the shrimp fajitas both dishes were terrible. My beef was chicken snd her fajitas were served on a cold plate. See photos. We told our server and she said oh well. Can you believe it. If you are considering this establishment. All I can say is DON'T. Poor service and terrible food. I am sure with their don't care attitude, they never read their reviews. Never been to a Mexican restaurant that charges $4.50 for chips and salsa

    Basic burrito w shredded beef
    Jay M.

    WOW. This place is so cozy and hit the Mexican vibes spot on! The service was nice, nothing over the top but the food!!! Excellent. Legitimate Mexican flavors! The rice was perfect in flavor and texture. I got flautas, they come only in shredded chicken, they were absolutely delicious. My husband got the burrito and it had two diff salsas on each side, red on one half and green on the other. Amazing. We also got esquites for out appetizer, great taste. When we arrived it was a 25 minute wait on a Friday 330pm. I suggest making reservations ahead of time. It wasn't too bad, we took a stroll around all the shops while we waited. It's no wonder it's busy, the food is soooo good!

    Came for a work lunch, it's been 50 minutes and I've gotten water and chips. We were required to pre-order so they've had our orders weeks in advance. Food here is meh at best anyway.

    The Sonora grill is very inviting with wood beams and exposed ceiling. I went for lunch and it was pretty quiet. I got the carne asada plate. I get the flank / skirt steak is a chewier cut of meat but man was it tough to chew. There were quite a few pieces I had to unfortunately spit out. The guacamole was brown on top and the steak was cold and lacked flavor. The rice had good flavor. The waiter was attentive and friendly. Good atmosphere. Nice waitstaff but the food was not that good. It definitely looked better than it tasted. A bit disappointing. And you have to pay for chips and salsa which IMO is a crime lol

    This was a nice surprise. We were looking for a place to eat in Ogden because we had an appointment up here, so we just looked for restaurants in the area. This one was one of the first to come up. And they have a pretty big selection of vegan items, which was awesome for my friend. The staff were very friendly! The food was delicious! And it is located in a really nice neighborhood! A lot of restaurants and stores close by. Even a movies theater. We are planning on a return visit next time we are in town.

    Fresca Margarita
    Allison D.

    Margarita was the best one I've had in a long time. I tried the Fresca and it really was so fresh. Also got the tortilla salad which was OK - got soggy fast. My boyfriend loved the chimichanga and said it was the best he's had. The shell was so crispy. Overall very good and a pleasant surprise!

    Do they offer the regular menu during brunch hours?

    Is there a private dining room for event dinners?

    I believe there is but you would need to contact the restaurant well in advance.

While the food menu is concise,…read moreevery single option is phenomenal, delicious, and well-crafted--you really can't go wrong with anything you order. ​The real showstopper here is the drink menu: it's mind-blowing. The selection of tequilas and cocktails is so massive you could visit for days and still not try everything. On top of the incredible food and drinks, the seating is fun, and the waitstaff is exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. ​Highly recommended--we're already planning our next trip back to try more!

For a second I wondered if they were closed, but someone eventually came out and seated me. That initial vibe had me a bit concerned, but I stuck it out. I started with the chips, corn, and guacamole, which was decent, nothing mind-blowing but fresh enough and got the job done. The Cadillac Margarita ($20) was a disappointment though. It was basically a glass of ice with way too much lime juice dominating everything; I could barely taste the tequila. The Michelada was better, solid and refreshing, and the service was about the same: friendly and attentive enough once they got going, but nothing standout. But holy smokes, that asada stuffed burrito saved the whole meal. The asada was ridiculously tender, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. Juicy, smoky, melt-in-your-mouth beef wrapped in a solid burrito. That one item alone made me glad I came. Overall, the place has some hits and misses. If the asada is what you're after, it's worth it. Just maybe skip the Cadillac marg and don't expect a lively atmosphere on a slow night. I'd go back for the burrito.

I said "no tip" she then repeats herself holding the tablet so I can't reach. Considering the bar is where you make the money, Id assume the bartenders wouldn't be interested in creating that kind of environment. To avoid any huge scene I said 15%, it's sad she felt the need to push so hard for 5 bucks but hey, to each their own! I'll be back for the DJ but the bar will be a hard pass.

    This place was... kind of odd. I'm from out of town and came to check out the local nightlife, but…read moreit definitely wasn't the vibe I expected. First off, the front door security was unnecessarily rude--why would I travel with a fake out-of-state ID? Once inside, things didn't improve much. The first floor had a small space to dance, but the DJ was spinning tracks from 10+ years ago, and it was nearly impossible to get to the bar with the crowding. Don't even bother trying to get a drink downstairs. I moved up to the next level--super packed, no dance floor, just a chill hangout space. Honestly, it felt overcrowded to the point of a potential fire code issue. Tried again to get a drink with no luck. No space to sit or stand comfortably. Finally made it to the rooftop, which I assume is more for smokers. Might be decent on a warm summer night, but in colder months it's just not it. Overall, the theme feels dated, and the crowd size makes it more stressful than fun. Do people not dance at clubs anymore?

My girlfriend got a buffalo chicken sandwich that really had no flavor and was mostly breading and super messy. I got a shepherds pie but as well the potatoes had little to no flavor.. I think this place has a lot of potential. Maybe it was just a bad night. But I think better service and curating a better palate for the menu can be done. Especially for being one of the few better bar and food places in Ogden.
