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. read more

I did go in and try the food around 5:00 PM. I was not a liking the food at all. Was very excited to finally try the restaurant after so many good reviews. I have a great problem with Mexican food Different Taquiria Meats being Increadibly over cook extra well done until they become medium hard Pellet Dog food bites. I had a combo plate witn El Pastor and Beef separate Enchilada's. They both had that crap Overcooked Pellet meat in them. I almost chocked I was soooo sad to see it. I believe leftover Pellet crap from the Lunch hour. I also tried a simple soft Taco, It had tender meat in it as a surprise. It was freshly cooked Pork in a green sauce. It was pretty good. After $ 22.00 plus, I was saying I could have had a much better meal almost anywhere in town. I will have to keep looking for god to excellent Mexican food in Sonora greater area. I DO NOT Recommend eating Here. Just Bad Food and poor crap Chef. 1 star out of 5 at best read more

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. read more

Taqueria Sonora - Mexican Near Me - Sonora, California

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. read more

Still consistently great. Their California burrito is so filling and can easily be split to serve two. Their salsa bar is still the best (so many delicious spicy salsas!) and the complimentary chips are good, too. They've updated the interior recently, and it gives the place a better vibe. read more

The service was fast, food was fresh, hot and flavorful, portion sizes were good and they have allllllll the hot sauce and salsa you can imagine (even some with zero heat). The pastor was one of the best I have ever had. read more

Taqueria Sonora Taqueria Sonora was a great find. It was the small mom-and-pop type hole-in-the-wall that I live and breathe for. I went with a super lengua burrito and a tripe taco. The tripe was perfectly fried and tucked into two tortillas and smothered with a delicious salsa. The burrito was awesome, the lengua was perfectly cooked and flavored. The burrito did fall apart towards the end, but I devoured everything!! My wife went with the flautas that looked more like taquitos to me. She felt that they were good for taquitos, but did not satisfy her craving for flautas since taquitos and flautas are two very different dishes. The taquitos came with rice and beans which were really good. They also came with a side salad that had very spicy dressing that my wife was not able to eat. All in all, she enjoyed her meal. read more

Amazing meats, great prices, and friendly service! Also a unique salsa bar and taco Tuesday discounts.

Pretty good. The Chimichanga was very good and crispy. The Shrimp Taco was also very good. BUT the salad was more sour cream than lettuce and avocado. Sloppy wet with sour cream. Next time I will ask for no creamy dressing on my side salad. read more

Great Mexican food at a reasonable price! Very popular with Sonora local people. Authentic flavors...

My husband Ken and I just love Taqueria Sonora! We get take out at least twice a month. Our go to favorites are the burrito bowls any of the several kinds available, and we adore the shrimp cocktails! Thank you Taqueria Sonora you always take good care of us read more

Great service, great super burrito, great salsa bar, pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend. Pay cash to avoid Credit Card fees.

This place has good tacos, but it is very pricey per taco so if you like spending money on tacos, then I guess come here but other than that there's other places that have even better tacos that you can get for even cheaper. Thanks, Taqueria Sonora! read more

Sweet little slice of Mexicana. Order at the counter then find a table but be sure to visit the salsa bar. Staff is bilingual of course and their menu diverse. We ordered a super burrito and chicken enchiladas and they were both fantastic read more

It was good. I liked the chicken. I liked how they had lime available to squeeze on my tacos. (Reviewed by my 6 yr old)

Overall solid Mexican food. We got a couple tacos, a super carnitas burrito, and a flauta to split, and it was definitely too much food for 2 people. Everything there was quite good, but particularly the carne asada taco. Is it the best Mexican food in California? Definitely not, but a good choice if it's convenient for you! read more

Was up in Sonora this morning and decided to give this place a try. As soon as I went in I was immediately greeted by a young woman. She asked what I wanted and I ordered a Chorizo Super Burrito w/extra sour cream and a fountain soda. She suggested a small drink because there's free refills which was pretty nice of her. After I paid she offered me some chips which I accepted. The salsa I chose was freaking amazing. It was a creamy jalapeño based salsa I believe. It had a kick to it but not too spicy at all which was perfect. She brought me my burrito and let me tell ya, with no exaggeration, it was the size of watermelon (lol). It was pretty big. It was made just how I asked and it was delicious. She even offered me more chips. The staff and food are great. Plenty of seating as well. I will definitely go back. Highly recommended! read more

I moved to Sonora from Modesto and cannot find great Mexican food. We have literally one taco truck, no Mexican markets, and the restaurants are not authentic or consistently tasty. And then we discovered Taqueria Sonora. Finally!! I judge a Mexican restaurant on the salsa and refried beans, and they were both a win! Everything was delicious and authentic. The portions were generous. And the aguas!!!!! Not from a package -- these are fresh made and yummy. read more

First time there and I was surprised to find good authentic Mexican food in the area. Food quality is great and fresh. Nice staff and the environment is very welcoming. Definitely going again read more

By far the worst horchata I've had in my life. If you want water and cinnamon, this is the place to go. Also the food was very bad made, bad flavor & proportion are the too much. never ever coming back. read more

Third time we've eaten here and unimpressed every single time. Not great food compared to other Mexican spots in town and truly confused how they got good ratings because the tacos were mediocre, the super burrito was awful, and the taco salad had such little filling compared to multiple other places in town. Big no for my family. read more

It's a Tuesday afternoon and we're on the final leg of our road trip. We stopped in Sonora for antiques and lunch. Today was Taco Tuesday thus I had three street tacos and chips here. What separates this place from other taco places is their salsa bar. They offer a shredded cabbage salad and real avocado salsa besides the other usual salsas. The avocado salsa isn't meant for those who don't like heat. The staff is friendly and by the number of people standing in line says the locals come here. read more

Hi, I ordered to go sides of rice and beans along with corn chips and 2 orders of flour chips. Beans and rice, but the chips were not fresh, stale, not crisp, and the flavor was off. I did order just after opening but, no excuse for less than fresh. I tried to refresh in airfryer but, lost cause. read more
