Sonora is our go-to spot for birthday parties, and for good reason. Their catering is always a huge hit with everyone. The shredded beef is incredibly flavorful and perfectly tender, the beans are consistently delicious, and the chili verde is always the first dish to disappear. One of my favorite things is their massive homemade tortillas--they're fresh, authentic, and absolutely perfect. Even when we're not hosting a party, Sonora is one of our favorite places for family dinner. Their family meal specials are an incredible value, making it easy to enjoy amazing food without the hassle of cooking. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with generous portions, excellent catering, and consistently great quality, Sonora is hard to beat. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious, have been coming here forever. The rice, the tortillas. All womderfully crafted.

Just moving here to Chino a month ago from LA, I happened to see Sonora Mexican Restaurant first since its closet to my house. I have been to a lot of family owned Mexican restaurants in different parts of So Cal, and this one rates up there with the quality and taste of the food. Reminds me of my mom's cooking. I have tried their chili rellenos and their burritos both excellent and nice size. I recommend this place to all to try and enjoy! Victor read more

This place is the best. I come for asada nachos . So fresh all the time. Quality ingredients. They r always so welcoming. I feel like family coming here. Always really clean in here. I love family owned restaurants. I will always go here and keep bringing friends with me. read more

Amazing food and Great CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance feels like home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really love the fact that you can order over the phone to pick up sidenote the beans and tortillas are a meal by itself. They are amazing truly a jewel of the inland empire. read more

I love the food here. The tortilla are sooo amazing. They are very kind and even learned my order when I go in lol highly recommend

This restaurant has the worse service ever, the lady that takes your orders is rude has no respect for anyone she always has an attitude seems like she's very unhappy there try working at Mc Donald's they will straighten your attitude out . I wish I would have gotten her name. The restaurant is in code violation for several issues they have no prices on the wall where the pictures of combos are also when you get your receipt they have no prices so I'm sure they are over charging people. This place is dirty and smells a lot of homeless people eat there I will be contacting OSHA along with other facilities Never will I return to this place again read more

Dammm love this place but sometimes with change things get forgotten. I've always ordered a two meat and bean and cheese chimichanga and for the first time in over 8 years the girl taking the order just said no and handed me a burrito, with a Pepsi . I told her sorry this is not my order and asked why did they change my chimichanga to a burrito. They said it will fall apart with out rice. Lol seem like the old cooks actually knew how to deep fly. She also got my drink wrong and got a attitude when told it was a orchata with easy ice. I also asked for some tortillas and was told they where sold out. Don't take it wrong the food is still great but someone need customer service skills. The older lady, always seem very nice and friendly, bring her back. Yes they allow inside dining, after they check your temp. read more

I just found this little gem mom and pop kind of business. Anyways the food is delicious. I've had the caldo duress soup so far and I came back and now I'm having the chili Verde burrito and they make homemade fresh tortillas so I bought a dozen so I can make my breakfast burritos in the morning, I really recommend this place friendly atmosphere read more

The tacos had no flavor and the tortillas were wet, fell apart before I put in my mouth. Service was good.

I've been going to this place for years. Their flower tortillas are homemade and one of the best tortillas I've ever tasted in my life!

I have to say I have lived in chino for 4 years, and my mom and I decided to try this restaurant last night, so glad we did, they make homemade tortillas which are amazing! I had the caldo de rez so delicious, my mom had the taco dorado plate and the tacos were so good and crunchy and the salsa is amazing on the tacos, will definitely be back soon can wait to try other food items, read more

Sonora Restaurant - a plate of tortilla and a plate of quesadillas - Mexican Near Me - Chino, California

First time at this place the food and service was great Huge burrito at a very fair price Not a fancy place but the food was Outstanding and authentic Been all over inland empire trying Mexican food and this place is right up there near the top of my list will be back soon read more

Been wanting To stop by, like forever, but there's always been a line and it's a one-way street, hence, no parking. However, due to the current situation/COVID-19, you're permitted to pull up and wait for your order, which they diligently bring out. I did not order on line, but told my mother earlier that we will stop by and see if there was a line, if not, I would get tacos. We pulled up, minimal line. I went in and ordered. $36 worth of tacos (7) and two burritos (8.50, $4.50). They're a bit stingy with the salsa. The chicken, per my mother in the Burrito was delicious. The chicken on the taco, was not. My steak/carne asada, was TOO SALTY! I am very sensitive to salt, being I do not use it, so when is placed on a food item, it distinctively hits the palette fast. The burrito was good, but I should've told him no guacamole, but I didn't and I had to endure. I dislike guacamole with a passion. I love the tortillas. They weren't soft or hard, they were just Good! The carne asada was salty, but that smoked flavor, AWE Sista', it was delicious! All I needed was more cheese; MORE CHEESE PLEASE. If not 4 the salt & lack of cheese, I'd give this place a 4.5. Lord's Will, I'll b going through downtown on my way home (Inland Empire) & I plan to go back Tuesday, 7/21. I wonder if they have Taco Tuesday specials? read more

Sonora Restaurant - My mothers chx tacos. I waited until I got home. - Mexican Near Me - Chino, California

I have tried calling this place multiple times and they never answer. Even though it says they are open. 2 of us tried calling on separate phones and still no answer. Used to be my favorite place to get food, definitely don't recommend this place anymore. read more

This place will be my next regular visit! I ordered the juevos rancheros, bean and cheese burrito, and elote tamale. The waitress was very attentive and nice. The food came out very quickly and was so good. read more

The street taco is really good. The enchiladas plate was ok. Chicken needs more seasoning. It needs flavor. The beans and rice, have good taste. Soup was not bad. The vegetables are good. Specially the corn. The tamal i just curious to taste. It was not as i thought. Kind of dried. The mass wss ok. Overall food is ok. I might tried one more time in the future Will see. read more

I finally tried this place and I have to say maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Taquitos here are okay but they don't serve guacamole so prepare yourself for that. The green chilaquiles were drenched in the salsa,cheese was very skimpy and overall the plate was just okay. The beans & rice are the real winners here. Bill was $17 bucks but the quality and portions of the food felt like it should of been $12-$13 bucks max. read more

Flour tortillas made by hand... and the menudo is really good. Highly recommend. Great customer service always greeted with a smile

The service was great! They were able to take my order quickly, nice to have some home cooked food locally

This is a must try! A hidden gem tucked away in a little corner, if you are looking for authentic Mexican food don't hesitate to drop in, reminds me of grandmas homemade chorizo con papa burrito! Tamales were good too! read more

We started frequenting Sonoras back in 1996 when my husband was introduced to them while working for the local car dealership, who would order food for their employees, on occasion. Since then we have returned as often as we can. Especially, after we moved up north back in 2004. Every visit back home to the Inland Empire, we stop at Sonora's. My husband spent over $200 to order the food for our family. He made sure to tell the employee Martha, that we can not have this spill in the car it happened once to our son's car from another establishment and this is a brand new Lexus. My husband asked her to please remove any and all liquid if possible to it would not spill. She gave boxes and ensured the food was not full of liquid. My husband took side roads and avoided any type of hard stops, knowing there was food in the trunk. Unfortunately, the Shredded beef soup and bean soup leaked all over the trunk of my new car. Saturating the mats. When we called back the employee Martha lacked any compassion or sympathy and gaffed off the complaint. Additionally, the food quality and presentation was gross. We were asked if the meat was Tuna by one of our guests. Another asked why it smelled like dog food. As my son tried to make a burrito, he literall stood there draining all the liquid out of his tortilla. It looked Ike a waterfall of meat juice being poured out. We removed over a gallon of liquid from the meat tray and it still has a lot left in it. The bean soup is being tossed out as well. After 25 years of being devoted and loyal customers we will never go back again. A waste of $200 for food and a destroyed trunk of a brand new $70k car. read more

Handmade Flour Tortillas and Beef Flautas! I concur with Albert E., don't ever judge a restaurant by its building aesthetics. Located in one of the most uninviting strip mall/plazas in Chino, Sonora has been my go-to spot for their fresh handmade tortillas for years. Recently, I discovered their flautas. I LOVE flautas! The flautas here are huge, not your your average sized flauta. About the size of a chimichanga. The beef flautas are my favorite! One is quite filling, especially if you get the lunch special that comes with beans and rice. My beans and rice were just OK though. Very authentic Mexican food and the customer service is always so kind and friendly. Bring cash if you want to avoid debit/credit card service fees. read more

Saturday, November 17, 2018 3:00 PM Good food. Authentic mex. Never been here before until today first time. Went to a birthday party recently and they had party trays of food brought in that came from this place. I thought the food was great so I wanted to come and try the actual restaurant. So here we are today :) The sope's were great as was the chili colorado burrito. The chicken in the sopes had an excellent marinade to it. Very tasty. They do sell bottles of beer so we had a couple of Coors light with our meal. Kind of a cold, stark, bright kitchen light atmosphere hole in the wall type place, but don't judge a book by it's cover. It's a good thing I didn't. The food was great and I would eat here again. My only disappointment was they didn't accept the American Express card. See my photos below read more
