Stopped on the way to the airport food was great. Definitely worth the time and we will go there again.
It was a lovely small taco shop next to the chase field. We went there right when they opened in the morning. I ordered the breakfast burrito with chorizo, which was pretty flavorful. Their salsa at the sauce bar went so well with the burrito too!
Man.. wanted some authentic tacos.. got off Airplane and looked on yelp decided to give this place a go.. as I like to stay away from chain restaurants if possible.. so when pulled in knew it was gonna be good.. cooked over a hot bed of coals and man was it good!!! Hands down best tacos ever.. and the toppings bar was great with pico, pickled onion and such.. go see this dude I promise you won't be disappointed!!
when I say this is the best burrito I've had in years I swear best place to get a fat burrito for $15 plus the worker is so nice and joyful and a very nice home environment I feel like I can chill eat and chat I love this play r will recommend
Great little stop for lunch. Had two delicious asada tacos on corn tortillas. Partner had a caramelo that she enjoyed as well. Along with a Mexican Coke. There is a free salsa bar that had a variety of salsas, an avocado salsa, cabbage, red onions, limes, and peppers. My partner liked the red salsa best, but I was partial to the roasted pepper one that's more brownish and chunky. We both loved the avocado salsa; despite her allergies, my partner gave it a try. There is very limited indoor seating which is part of why I gave only four stars -- the other part being that the menu is limited and there was no cilantro. HOWEVER, what they do have and what we had was delicious. I'd give 4.5 stars if possible. The taste was unmatched. I've lived in AZ my whole life and had tacos across the state; these take the cake. Will be back. The man behind the register was very kind and gave personal opinions on salsa when asked. The ambiance is nice and gives an authentic taco shop experience with the smoky scent of meats cooking and music in Spanish. The space was decently clean and the salsa bar seemed fresh and at the correct temperatures. This is located along 7th street in the Warehouse District. We walked comfortably from a nearby parking lot, midday Saturday. The place did not have other patrons except for us while we were there, but they have plaques of awards won, and the food spoke for itself. Give it a try next time you're looking for some great tacos!
The tacos were great! We tried one of each kind chicken, carne, and el pastor. There are five amazing sauces to mix and match with the tacos that really made the meal. Excellent!
OMG!!!!!! 100% amazing!!! Best place I have been and cheapest meal during our Arizona vacation! We found them from the Moon Baseball Road trip book and it did not disappoint!! We order at least one item from the whole menu. Everything was amazing!!!! We enjoyed the pastor meat the most but also got the steak for several dishes. The ladies behind the counter was super sweet. They helped us order, let me change my meat last minute, and even made our little ones meal even better by adding cheese!!!
I drive by this place everyday on my way to school and have been dying to try it! We finally stopped in after class one day. They're a cute family owned business kind of on the industrial street of 7th. There's not much else around but they have indoor and outdoor seating. The inside was smaller than I expected. They have a very small menu with street tacos (flour or corn tortillas), burritos, breakfast burritos, and one other thing on the hard shell (do not remember the name) tortas I believe. My friend and I got a burrito and two tacos and then shared. I had both the chicken and beef tacos (the only other meat option is pork). The chicken tacos were better in my opinion. They also only come with the large tortilla and the meat. They have a little bar on the side that has pico, lettuce, multiple salsas and jalapeños. I love that you can put everything on yourself! The burrito we got chicken in and it also has, cheese, beans, and rice. It was super good, a nice size not too big. I will say I got like two bites of sketchy chicken (the cartilage) that I did not enjoy hence the 4 stars. The salsa options are amazing. Definitely will come back!
Park in the little lot next door. Order from the short menu on the wall: it's tacos and burritos, friends, no chips and salsa or guac. They do have Jarritos and a couple of fountain drinks though. There's a single, dark, all-gender but not handicapped-accessible restroom (no grab bars, for instance). Top your tacos from the small salad bar. (Tacos, plural, because who eats only one?) A few tables inside and a few outside. The burrito is normal sized, but I was kind of hungry and wish I had ordered the Sonoran with beans. Al pastore was really good.
I was working downtown and a coworker told me about this place and said it was good. I ordered 3 vampiros which is a tostada with beans, cheese melted with carne asada on top. I liked the flavor of the whole but the carne asada was a little bland. But if you spend $10-$15 and your are still hungry afterwards that's a problem. And I was hungry still. The kitchen seems fairly clean. I will comeback and try it again!!!
On our way to the Phoenix airport we stopped to have a quick bite at a local taco shop. It's very intimate, minimal indoor seating but outside seating available. A handful of options, bottled drinks and a few traditional options. Parking is minimal...2 parking lots..one on each side of the shop. After you receive your order there is a toppings bar stocked with fresh toppings and an array of sauces/salsas. It definitely hit the spot.
Today I stopped in here on the way to a community building event in south Phoenix. I love this place. When I am in this area I eat here. The vampires are TDF and the meat is good and grilled over coal. The tacos come just meat and tortilla. It's up to you to decorate them at the salsa bar. I will continue to eat here when I'm in the area. It's small. Hip. Local. Quality. Happy. Gracias a Los dueños!
Ok! Tons of taco places in Phoenix to pick from but i wanted to try something new that i don't visit probably twice a week(don't judge). Open kitchen with carbon flowing and music slamming. You walk into a small seating area that reminded me of a small taco stand in Sonora for all the wrong reasons. Salsa bar was running low but i totally understand they put what they are gonna use to not waste the goods! Salsa and guac both fresh and great! As you can see the tacos were great and loaded with meat. Price was a little high but... Merica' i think it goes without saying everything is a little high at the moment, so treat yourself and enjoy some of what Sonora has to offer. read more
I used yelp to guide me here because there were very good reviews and the food in the pictures looked great, my experience was quite different however. My burrito wasn't small, but not as big as I had expected given the size of the tortilla it was wrapped in. The filling was OK, but not overly flavorful and for the price point definitely lacking. I had the pastor. My partner got two vampiros (tostada) one with chicken and one with carne asada. The size vs the price was disappointing, the meat was very dry and not overly flavorful. Very disappointing given the great reviews this place had. read more
Tasty Taqueria! Stopped by here after grabbing a coffee at Builder Coffee after seeing they had breakfast burritos. Walked in right as they were opening at 10 and I got to see the grill master at work setting things up with the charcoal fire. Honestly was a one man wrecking crew as he prepared the meats, sliced veggies, and put out the salsas while making our two burritos. My carne asada steak breakfast burrito was packed with eggs, meat, beans and cheese and I wolfed it down with a side of tasty Chipotle salsa. Wife's chorizo burrito was just as good and it was great to have the fresh pico and sliced onion to balance it out. Mi gusta! read more

Delicious tacos reminiscent of Sonora. Enjoyed the chicken, pastor, tacos and a asada caramello. Simple salsa bar that lets the delicious flavors of each meat be the real highlight. Some things in life shouldn't be deconstructed or overthought. Simple sometimes is best and this place takes care of it. read more

Yeah...this place is AMAZING. I was visiting from out of town and a local friend recommended this place as his favorite taco spot in all of Phoenix. This little hole in the wall is pumping out amazing food! Menu is on a chalkboard: tacos, vampiros, carmelos, and burros. With each, you pick your meat: asada, chicken, or pastor. The asada is delicious flank steak, chicken had crazy good flavor and juiciness, and the pastor is pork with a kick! I recommend trying out at least one of each: the price is right. The vampiros is a tostada so is like an open faced hard shell taco. The Carmelos is like a quesadilla. I had to get a second Carmelo -- it was that good! They have a buffet table where you dress your own with toppings--salsas, radishes, lime, and so much more. A MIST TRY! read more
Small menu. Small restaurant. Small parking lot. Small employees. Small prices. BIG FLAVOR. The Sonora Taco Shop is not for the faint of heart. Being that I lived in San Diego for a time I'm no stranger to hole-in-the-wall taco shops. The shadier the better in my point of view. I also like the type of street taco that is meat, tortillas and salsa on top with maybe some onion or cilantro which is exactly what Sonora Taco Shop sells. If you are expecting TexMex you will be disappointed as this seemed like an authentic Taqueria. Having said that, my boyfriend and I were in complete disagreement over our opinions of this place. Although I enjoyed it, he did not at all. Perhaps I felt a bit "at home" with that type of place whereas he felt completely out of place. I ordered a Carne asada taco and el pastor vampiro and he ordered three carne asada tacos. The el pastor was so amazing here and the vampiro was so great with the beans, cheese and meat, so this was my favorite. In summary, come here if you don't mind the part of town and want to just pickup tacos to-go. This is not a place to eat in or really hang out. Also, if someone has never been to a hole-in-the-wall taco place this is not the place to bring someone to get their feet wet! read more

Heard this was the best taco shop in town so I had to check it out! We came on a Tuesday, and unfortunately no taco Tuesday deals. I ordered carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos ($2 each). Sonora taco shop has awards for "best carne asada" so thought this would be the winner... but I surprisingly enjoyed the al pastor way more! Al pastor was very flavorful and juicy and I definitely recommend trying it! The tacos were quite small and 4 tacos did not really fill me up. I would say $2 per taco is expensive for the amount that you get. The tacos come out with just tortilla and meat, but you can fill them with lettuce, cucumber, and salsa from the salsa bar. Side tip: if you come with a big group, you'll have to sit at the long tables outside! Inside seating only has single tables with 2 seats each. read more

My friends and I visited this taco shop on taco Tuesday (even though there are no specials) because we had heard such great things about this place!! I ordered 3 tacos (one of each: chicken, carne asada, and pastor). The chicken and carne asada tacos were pretty standard. My favorite meat option was the pastor. It was a million times more flavorful than the other choices. While there wasn't much sweetness from pineapple, there was some charred flavor, smokiness, and it just made me want more of that meat! I was also able to try the vampiro with pastor (tostada with beans, cheese, and meat) and the burrito with carne asada. The food is great, but one of my favorite things was their salsa bar. They have so many different choices ranging from mild to spicy and everything in between so you can mix and match based on your preferences! If you try this place, the tacos aren't enormous, so you might have to order more than a few if you're hungry like I was! And while this restaurant has won awards for their carne asada, I would definitely give the pastor a try!! read more

Omg great tacos!!! Place doesn't look like much but hands down some of the best tacos I've had. read more
This is a little hole in the wall type of spot that you'd totally miss should you not be looking specifically for it. It's right next to an adult shop too, so even more obscure I'd say, unless of course you were wanting to get your naughty purchases before or after! Sonoran tacos just recently closed to make it a tad bigger- there is a bit more seating on the inside and the menu changed although not a whole bunch but they now added beans and a burrito to their menu. Before they only offered tacos, caramelos (quesadilla with meat in it), and vampiros (hard shell flat crispy tortilla with beans cheese meat)! All of which have been delicious. The sizes are fairly small but they definitely fill you up. They have a serve yourself salsa bar there as well and usually have radishes and cucumbers - which I love to lemon up and salt to enjoy before or with my tacos. The pastor is delicious but nothing beats their carne asada. Perfectly seasoned and tender and tasty! My friends and I have deemed it "porn tacos" and usually try to come at least once a month because it's just worth it! read more

I decided to give them a shot since my favorite local spot was closed and I wasn't disappointed at all. The food and drinks were amazing and very flavorful. I have been twice this week! I got the agua de pina and Sonora carne asada burrito. read more
