13 Best Mexican Restaurants in Sonora

“Fantastic food, and very friendly service. I highly recommend the breakfast burrito and any of the meats. horizo is my favorite though.“

“A no nonsense taco shop that feels exactly as you want it. From the laminent booths to the hand written specials to the board of items lit up thats a bit too old.

Price was excellent, food was great, the salsa bar was STOCKED.

I had the carne Asada plate and an al pastor taco. The carne Asad plate was large fresh and cheap. The beans and rice were as expected and the Pico de gallo was top notch.

The al pastor left something to be desired. It wasnt bad, but it tasted more like I would expect chorizo to taste. Not bad, just not the best pastor I've encountered.

Even during the lunch rush the staff was friendly and prompt.

Highly recommend for a traditional taco shop experience.“

“Foothills Café in Sonora is one of those places that instantly makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. From the cozy atmosphere to the friendly staff, it’s the kind of café that feels like a local favorite for a reason. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or just a cup of coffee, Foothills Café delivers comfort, quality, and great service every time.

The food is absolutely delicious and clearly made with care. Their breakfast options are especially standout—fresh, filling, and full of flavor. Everything tastes homemade, from the perfectly cooked eggs to the crispy potatoes and fluffy pancakes. You can tell they focus on quality ingredients and generous portions, so you always leave satisfied. Lunch is just as good, with comforting classics and daily specials that keep things interesting and make you want to come back to try more.

The coffee deserves its own praise. It’s smooth, rich, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood café. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup to-go or sitting down to relax, it’s the perfect companion to your meal. Pair it with one of their baked goods and you’re set.

What really sets Foothills Café apart, though, is the service. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. They genuinely make you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit. There’s a warm, community vibe here that makes the experience feel personal rather than rushed.

Overall, Foothills Café is a gem in Sonora. It’s the perfect spot for a casual meal, a friendly meet-up, or a quiet moment with good food and coffee. If you’re looking for a place with great flavors, fair prices, and a welcoming atmosphere, this café is a must-visit. Highly recommend!“

“Taqueria la Esmeralda is delicious. You have the option of fast food for take out or a nice casual sit down meal. They have seating both indoor and patio. The staff is always friendly and smiling. I have never been in when it wasnt busy. Today we went in for the taco Tuesday special, we ordered quite a few tacos to go and the turn around time for that amount of food was great. They have a self service salsa bar and chips.
We got carne asada tacos, carnitas and pollo asado tacos. We have tried other foods previously- nachos, burritos & quesadillas. All equally delicious.“

“Very nice venue and service was excellent!“

“Excellent authentic Mexican food. Great value, generous portions. Absolutamente delicioso ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Los anchos están muy buenos“

“We used the kiosk to order our food and chose to pay at the counter. The transaction finished with the DONE and no further instructions. We waited and waited and waited. We checked in to see the status of our order and was informed that we needed to pay before they would put our order together...otherwise, it was a fun day out getting a snack.“
