Sonora Grill

I wanted to try a place I haven't been for lunch with a good friend. I picked Sonora Grill because it sounded good and was about halfway between our two homes. I checked out the menu and it looks intriguing. Got to the restaurant around 11:30, not much of a crowd but it was a Tuesday and still a little early. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. I had two tacos, one with shrimp and one with fish. The shrimp taco with a light red tempura coating, cilantro aioli and cabbage. Yum! The second taco was fish with beer battered mahi mahi, pico de gallo, chipolte aioli, cilantro and a jalapeno. Also, Yum!The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, it got significantly busier around noon, and it was still easy to talk across the table. I wasn't overly hungry so I just stuck with the two tacos', I will be back to try several of the other items on the menu. Can't wait to bring friends here soon.

Food was great. The Esquites appetizer was phenomenal. Service was friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back.

The tacos are amazing! I really enjoyed the shrimp one. The beef tacos were good it was dry and the chicken wasnt dry. The dessert was decent. The meat pie is good. Would recommend it again. I went during happy hours and it was a good price. But the food is amazing! Would recommend it. The service was good and the ambiance was nice.

Spoiler - these are my favorite tacos in the twin cities!I told this to the guests I had in town and it lived up to the hype! These aren't your standard tacos. The meat, tortillas and toppings are so good!! If you're kind of picky, I challenge you to eat the tacos "as is" because Sonora really knows what they're doing!I had a carnitas taco with pickled onions and a steak taco with cabbage. Flavorful is the main adjective I'd use! They surprised us with seemingly bottomless chips and salsa when we ordered it, and the cocktails are great! AND THE RICE, get the rice, you're welcome ha. The atmosphere is very cool! I prefer when it's not too busy, which it wasn't on a Saturday at 1! Service is a little slower but they're very friendly. The prices are... Not ideal haha. BUT, they essentially do half off everything during happy hours (weekdays 2-5), so I highly recommend going then!

Sonora Grill is a great spot for Mexican dishes from tacos, empanadas, to seafood and sandwich's. Located off Lake street in the Longfellow area with a a parking lot for convenience. Ambiance 4/5Its a warm inviting place with note worthy Mexican-inspired décor. Great seating, cute patio with just enough shade for the summer and dimly lit spot at night. Beware of the bees that might come. lolService 4/5 Always fun servers who answer your questions with good recommendations based off your taste. Food/ Drinks 5/5 Word on the curb is that their homemade empanadas is a must have! I haven't ordered it yet however I will. Updates to follow. Huge fan of their Elotes with cilantro aioli, cheese & Chipotle salsa over coconut milk rice! Elotes $13 | Quesadilla $16 | Brisket Burrito $19 The Sonora $11 Overall 4/5 One of my favorite spots for sure, I need to go more often. I hear the Happy hour is great too!

I love the taco Tuesday here! The tacos are all good, I get the steak one on Tuesdays.This is a very agreeable place, good food, hip scene, outdoor seating, bar and an interesting décor. Check it out.

One of my favorite Latin America restaurants in the cities! Everything here is always delicious and unique and you can't go wrong. There's a huge patio outside for the summer but inside space is a little limited in the winter. So you can expect a small wait sometimes but usually not too bad. Service is pretty average, nothing great but not terrible. Will continue coming back for more!

The service was fast and friendly. A good price and the food was the best! Cute little patio that is dog friendly. The classic margarita was tangy.

The Best fresh and delicious Mexican food in town!From the Esquita corn, nachos, salads to tacos!! Margaritas are so refreshing and delicious! The staff is super attentive and nice

Great tacos!! They had great flavor and a great spice level! The tacos are have a double corn tortilla to help with the structural integrity. The jalapeños and lettuce were very very fresh. Both tacos had pickled red onions and it add an amazing depth to the tacos. Meat was juicy and tender and paired nice with the toppings. The ambiance of the restaurant is great. The interior is so cute and I loved the plants. Walked out on the patio to see if there was seating but there was none but from how it looked the patio area was so so cute. Want to go back and sit outside. Staff was friendly and welcoming.Highly recommend this place!!
