Taqueria Sonora

Ordered the El Pastor Taco and it had a good hefty serving of meat. You can actually make a second taco 🌮 with second tortilla. Chicken enchilada a la carte was big and also came with lots of meat. Atmosphere was chill. Hospitable customer service.

I love taco Tuesday I love to ball on a budget. Carne Asada, Carnitas, and El Pastor are all quite good and there is a great salsa bar. Also the horchata and pineapple drink are good, if not a bit watery. The staff who works the front counter are very nice!

Really great food, and very reasonable price. There is a salsa bar, to your hearts content.

Decent Mexican food served super fast by friendly and accommodating staff. The entire family seems to help out. A lot of fixings available to add zest, tang or saltiness to your meal. The place is unassuming, and most people get takeout - nothing wrong with that.

Picked up some easy burritos. Fed the family for a cheap meal and really enjoyed the vegetarian burritos. They have a fantastic salsa bar and fresh tortilla chips!

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.

Delicious tacos. I recommend the carne asada, chili Colorado and al pastor pork. My wife loved her tongue and tripe tacos. Fair warning: The super tacos are 2x as full as a normal taco. I thought 3 wouldn't be enough but I was stuffed.

Food was great. Pick up was easy. I want to steer people away from their online ordering. I'm pretty sure my cc info and email got stolen from placing an online order. Not the Taqueria's fault at all but pease go in to order folks.

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.

Best Mexican food in the county. I could eat it every day. Their carne asada and salsa are great

My brother and I had dinner here this evening, the food was excellent this is my new favorite place for Mexican food.

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

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

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 !

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Friendly service and excellent food in generous proportions. Even my 2 picky kids were pleased! We will return here whenever we visit this area again. A great find!

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.

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.

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

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

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!

Drewsday Special burrito (steak and shrimp with all the fixings plus nacho cheese!) was so good. Great salsa bar with many choices too. Very cool and friendly staff. This place is my new spot every time I'm in town

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)

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

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.

Prices were great food was fresh and tasty you order at the counter, the service was good Food came really fast nice and clean little Taqueria.

Top stop for delicious chile verde and carnitas! Chile verde burrito is outstanding and the carnitas on a torta is my favorite. Also "taco Tuesdays" are a favorite. Great selection of salsas from the salsa bar. Fast friendly service .

The food is great and the service was excellent. Small local Mexican food that's amazing. We will be back!

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.

Slow service bad food etc-- Couldn't liquor license the .99 store because of this exact place, Lee.

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.

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!

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!

We had a delightful dinner eating in...one chicken quesadilla and one super shrimp burrito. Both were very delicious and enormous portions. The free chips and salsa bar were a big hit...great and tasty salsa options. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We were impressed by how many locals knew the staff and were stopping for carry out. (We were passing through on our way to Yosemite.) Highly recommend this place.

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.

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.

Great place if you are hosting a party at home. Food is delicious and affordable. Employees were very polite.

Randomly stopped here while in downtown Sonora. I had their 3 plate combo - Crispy Taco, Sope, & enchilada. Great taste all around. I especially liked their green sauce. You get free chips and salsa - a major plus. They have a large collection of what seems like every possible hot sauce on the market.

I used to think this place was the best taqueria east of the Mission District in SF. Sad to say, I ordered 3 chicken tacos tonight and the quality of the chicken and tortillas were lacking. The grilled chicken was very dry and the tortillas were extremely thin, fell apart on the pick up, and they seemed to have microwaved the tortillas instead of thrown on the grill. :-( FYI - have an adult oversee the kids cooking, marinate the chicken in milk to ensure moisture, and get a different vendor for tortillas.

Authentic flavors, friendly staff in the middle of downtown Sonora. My favorite is the green salsa at the bar.

After living in San Diego for 10 years, I have had a variety of burritos. There in lies the challenge. It's like Taqueria Sonora said "Challenge Accepted"!!! I tried the Carnitas SUPER Burrito with everything on it! It was everything! First off you could feed a few folks off of this burrito. The size is SUPER sized. My first bite was saucy, SUPER juicy and very flavorful. Mmmm mmmm yes please. This burrito is no joke and SUPER delicious and I would highly recommend checking this place out. I've already had it for lunch and dinner yesterday, and eating it cold for lunch today! Get both the red and green sauces!

One of the best burritos I've ever had. Great portions, fresh, perfect. I will need to come back and try more things.

The absolute best taqueria style Mexican food in Tuolumne county. As good if not better than taquerias in the Bay Area. Burritos are huge!!

I requested a food delivery for an event. We got a taco bar (mushrooms and refried beans as the main protein), burritos (chicken and steak), churros, and jarritos. The food was incredibly delicious. The mushrooms for the tacos were so volumptuous and tasty. Refried beans weren't too salty. All taco bar toppings were great and in good amounts. It can be a lot of work to unpack all the items for a taco bar but it was worth it! Chicken and steak burritos were nicely seasoned and filling. They had rice, lettuce, and a good amount of sauce (I love lots of sauce). Churros were soft and a little greasy but still delicious. They had a good amount of cinnamon and sugar for my liking. I would totally order from them again. The food was a little late and I couldn't find their contact info online but it was worth the wait!

Best Mexican in Tuolumne County! Taco Tuesdays and huge salsa bar. Chips are complimentary as is the salsa. Best Carnitas ever. Not much ambiance but good prices and fast. Home-made style Menudo and cuisine. Friendly staff. None better in Sonora!

Sergio Perez catered my daughter's rehearsal dinner. The taco truck arrived on time and fully staffed. The food was delicious and plentiful. The salsa bar with the toppings was quite extensive and exceptional. Sergio and his crew were incredibly accommodating and professional. They were an important part of a very successful wedding weekend.

Always great food, lots of options, great salsa bar inside, and just perfect flavor. Food is always ready quickly whether ordering for pick up or dine in

This place is really clean. The food is, as authentic as it gets!! I should know since I'm Mexican and love Mexican food :) Super friendly service.

We stopped by to pick up tacos after hiking the nearby Dragoon Gulch trail. The tacos were tasty, and the staff was friendly. While the staff themselves were wearing masks, they were not enforcing their wear-masks-inside policy, which was disappointing. We had the following: 1. Chicken tacos - good 2. Al pastor tacos - excellent 3. Shrimp tacos - fresh and flavorful (our favorite!) 4. Fish tacos - good The tacos came with chips and salsa, which was nice. We enjoyed the assortment of salsas. The staff was polite and friendly. I tried calling in my order, but no one picked up the phone, so I ended up ordering in person, which was not my preference. I appreciated that the staff was wearing masks, and that they had signs posted stating that masks had to be worn for Covid safety. However, it was concerning that they didn't ask the customer who came in after me to wear a mask, especially since we all had to stand around inside waiting for our orders. Overall, the food and service here were great. I just wish they were stricter about enforcing Covid safety measures.

Best Mexican food in Sonora! Great service, good prices, and the salsa bar is the best!
