Street tacos
Mike P.

Taco Tuesday is a most for this local joint I was lucky enough to be in town on a Tuesday and got to indulge, these tacos were packed to the brim

Crispy carna asada beef tacos with rice and beans.
Michael H.

Decent but blah. Pre-formed crispy taco shells (probably Ortega) barely warm. Pico de gallon had a faintly wet-dog scent that was a turn off. Service was great. Overall it was a real disappointment.

This is some amazing food right here! The Chile Verde plate with rice and beans and salad.

This is one of those places that you pass a dozen times and never think to go in. Well this happen to me the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. My sister and I had intended to go somewhere else, but we ended up coming here instead because the other place was closed. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much because passing by it didn't look like much. But after my visit here, I will become a regular customer every time I am in town. It is located in downtown Sonora on the main drag. As you walk in, it's very clean. It's pretty spacious for a small establishment. The people are very friendly when you come in and the menu is quite extensive. I did not take any pictures, but there's plenty items to choose from the menu. They have a full salsa bar with different kinds of salsa to your liking. I chose to try their Chile Verde that comes with rice and beans. I'm a salad with creama as dressing I can tell you right off the bat this was some of the best Chile Verde I have ever had. All the spices and flavors were in order and tasted perfect. The pork was tender and flavorful. The rice and beans were equally as delicious. The rice was dry just the way I like it. I do not like moist rice and this place did not disappoint. I can honestly say I enjoyed my visit and will be coming back. Downtown Sonora is a very busy place so it's easy to just walk by and miss this place but if you see it, you really should get in there and try it because it's well worth the money.

Delicious food!

We were visiting Sonora for a few days before making our way back to so-cal. We found this place and it's awesome! The food here is very good and authentic. The staff is friendly and helped us decide what to order. If you're in Sonora and have a craving for delicious Mexican food, check it out. You won't regret.

Carne asada super burrito (1/3 of JT !!) chips and salsa from salsa bar

Visiting from out of town and popped in to pick up dinner. Super friendly staff, casual dining area and extensive menu (all your favorites!). I got the carne asada super burrito. Generous in size and oh my so flavorful. The bag of chips fresh salsa from the salsa bar made my night. Highly recommend and will def come back !

Amazing, authentic food. Good prices! Very affordable. I really loved the customer service.

This was in my chicken burrito it's a bunch of gross fat.

They always mess up my order. The food is decent but when it's always wrong you just give up on the place. I'm not wasting any more money here.

It's late Saturday morning, July 15, 2024, and I've arrive at Taqueria Sonora, at the 55th Annual Columbia Father's Day Fly-in, at Columbia,
Eric R.

Taqueria Sonora is located in downtown Sonora, CA and serves fine Mexican cuisine every day of the week. For the 55th Annual Columbia Father's Day Fly-In, located in nearby Columbia, the restaurant set up a pop-up booth and served three varieties of street tacos, quesadillas, soft drinks, along with all of your favorite condiments, and corn tortilla chips. I'm writing this review about the pop-up restaurant at the fly-in, not the brick and mortar restaurant located downtown. You order from the small menu, and when your order is ready - about a minute - you go around to the back of the restaurant to the chips and condiments bar and dress your tacos the way you like them. You can scoop a big side of chips on your plate too. I went with two "Street Tacos" and my choice of protein was carne asada. I took a trip to the chips and salsa bar, and really dressed out my tacos, in style, and added a side of corn chips and salsa. Why are these called "street tacos?" Because they are nearly identical to tacos sold on the streets of every village, town and city in Mexico. My choice of meat was carne asada and each taco contained a very generous helping of juicy, marinated, chopped and thinly sliced grilled carne asada meat, which truly got the tacos going. The carne asada was placed on top of two small, perfectly grilled corn tortillas, each the size of a DVD, which made the foundation for a couple of great tacos. The tacos were "bare of condiments," as the condiment and chip bar was behind the restaurant. I found the salsa and chip bar to be amazing well-stocked, with a wide selection of goodies, all kept fresh and cold thanks to many bags of ice. The selection of chips and condiments rivaled the selection in a sit-down restaurant! I love to heap as much in the way of condiments on my tacos as I can, and today was no exception. From the plentiful condiment bar, I added chopped cilantro, pico de gallo, avocado crema, diced white onion, along with a sliced, pickled jalapeno pepper. One bite into my first taco truly reminded me of the many "street tacos" I've enjoyed during my many travels to Mexico. The carne asada meat was perfectly grilled, tender, juicy and bursting with flavor. The condiments were fresh, delicious and enhanced the fine tacos I enjoyed for an early lunch. Each taco held together well, thanks to the two corn tortillas, which is the way "street tacos" are made on the streets of Mexico. The corn tortilla chips were fresh, warm and made for a perfect side to the amazing tacos. I added salsa rojo on the side for dipping. Muy sabroso! The tacos were simply delicious, authentic, Mexican "street tacos" which made for a delightful beginning to an enjoyable day at the 55th Annual Columbia Father's Day Fly-in, held at the Columbia, CA airport. Such delicious tacos and friendly service! When you're attending local Tuolumne County events, and you see Taqueria Sonora, grab a taco or two, and enjoy FIVE STAR dining.

It was amazing the food the service but the ambience was just the grill hdhdhdeieudhdudgfufbfjdhdhfh

We dined in this time after having catering last time. The food was outstanding, and the hot sauce selection was like I've never seen. Counter service, but really friendly. Locals eat and work here. We'll be back for sure for catering and dining.

No judgement. Ordered a crispy chicken taco and chili relleno combo. Started with garlic soup. Everything was great! The owners are just the cutest older couple. They were sweeping up and cleaning tables as I walked by... I said I felt like I was home as I passed. I was able to seat myself and since I was a party of one I chose the small table in the front window. I felt like I was at home on my porch back home. Watching cars, unwinding. I was watching the locals go by minding my own business sipping on a Modelo. I ate some dinner after a long day at work while traveling out of town. I asked for them to wait to drop my food and I was in no hurry. I was watching the tables to make sure I wasn't taking business. I enjoyed my evening as best as possible since I couldn't be home with my Boyfriend and kiddo. I had read the reviews and asked for the hot sauce and a little bit of each on a chip was delicious and perfect for this Guera. I asked for a side of the mole sauce. I smothered my chicken taco with that mole sauce and I'm telling you the flavors of all their sauces and their food was perfect. The Hispanic family I grew up across from growing up ... when I would walk in that would ask me growing up Quieres comida Guera? Loved it! That's the only thing missing! Them words. A cute funny story is one of their regulars as they were leaving. The owner approached them to say goodbye and the little one that they were carrying, he spoke to them about her meal. He spoke to the child. It was the sweetest thing to watch he said "I have a new customer" because the baby tried guacamole mama reported I'll be back
