"There aren’t many places where we’d happily test our quad strength by squatting in an alley to eat a taco—but Sonora Taquería is one of them. The Mexican taqueria in Stoke Newington has a small amount of downstairs seating, but when the food is this good, these inevitably fill up fast. The menu is short—four to six taco options—but everything is brilliant, and all are improved with a crunchy cheesy crust. Our go-to is the chorizo which is juicy, spicy, and impossible to over-order." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
