Nachos al pastor is a particularly generous portion (I had already eaten half of it in the photo) and perfect to share. Chips are made fresh in house. Sit and enjoy your meal at the counter, then get back to your day. It's worth the trip.“

“el mejor ambiente familiar las meseras son un amor y la comida fantástica“

“Great prices. Got the al pastor street tacos. Think there are better items on menu. Meat was like little nuggets and had little spices within meat. Adding the salsa helped them to taste good. The corn tortillas are fresh and good. Another person in party got the al pastor plate and really like it, as did person who got pork tacos. I would get Alambre next time.“

“El chivo crazy will serve you the best chivo (goat barbacoa), (goat broth) El consome will bring you back to life after a good night of drinking. But don't get discouraged if goat barbacoa It's not your thing. They also serve other popular dishes like Picaritas,Quesadillas, tacos etc. Enjoy with popular aguas frescas.
With easy access, the mall also has an elevator for wheelchair. parking on the side
Fair prices 👌 👏 👍 😌“

“Petty big menu. I wanted to try a burrito but I ended up trying a burger (Del Gordo, $13) and birria ramen ($9).

The meat in the ramen was good. The broth is a little spicy. The flavor was pretty strong. Overall, I thought it was okay.

The burgers are unique. As a burger it was okay. The cubana burger my friend had looked good. I probably would have liked it more than mine. Decent size.“

“Vinimos esta noche por primera vez a probar la comida, el lugar estaba muy ocupado ya que había mucha gente sin embargo el muchacho que nos atendió nos dio muy buen servicio ya que con nuestra orden se nos atrasó por la gente que había enfrente el se disculpo y nos ofreció incluso una bebida por parte de la casa!. Estoy seguro que les ira muy bien y totalmente lo recomiendo!.“

“The Service was very attentive and on time, The food was very delicious and quickly prepared, I like the pot coffee a little more robust, The space in the restaurant is limited but it is worth the wait, The review of the food is based on the chilaquiles with cured meat and egg, and the minced meats with cured meat that we ordered, the style of the beans and rice varies from restaurant to restaurant
It is located inside a plaza/mall, it has enough parking on one side and public bathrooms.
We are going to visit them again!

“Delicious Quesabirria tacos with consommé. Friend taco shells with succulent stewed beef, cheese, onions, cilantro, which you can dip in the beef stew broth. $15 with tax, but filling - split it with my kid.Located in the food court of Mercado Centrale - a bustling Hispanic market in the heart of Lake street“

“The food and drinks were great. Highly recommend this place. Tequila selection is amazing.“

“we always stop here when we travel to the cities. Amazing food!!!“

“Delicious tacos and friendly service.“

“Everything at this restaurant was delicious the guacamole was the best I’ve ever had there were four of us and each enjoyed our meal. The service was excellent look forward to coming back“

“There's a reason this place has outlasted so many other restaurants in the area. Why pay $10+ for one fast food meal when you can get an authentic meal cooked from scratch for $14? Literally just a few bucks more. The patio is nice, too. Lots of greenery and kind of hidden from passersby.“

“I either get the Tazón (choice of rice and beans or lettuce base) with lots of toppings including a scoop of guacamole (extra but yum) or a couple of Mexican style tacos. Lots of meat or vegi choices. I love the chipotle chicken. Yum!“

“when I'm too busy to cook, I swing by and order up my favorite veggie burrito. Fast, fresh and delish.. every...time!“

“Siiiiii!!!!! Everytime it's right no matter what time u go!!!“

“Excellent food and service! We ordered torta de pollo (chicken sandwich) and veggie burrito, both were delicious. Javier, the boss (el patron), took the time to chat with us. He told us they have a variety of original house salsas with different degrees of heat to choose from, we tried 2 and they were both very tasty. Everything had a true Mexican flavor! Very clean, it was full of Mexican and Latinamerican customers on a Sunday afternoon. It is a small restaurant inside a supermaket with a great team and genuine Mexican food. They have special discounts every weekday. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Came here with our kickball team after a game and we all were happy with the last minute pick. Efficient and extremely tasty food, good happy hour deal, nice patio, and very kind staff! Will absolutely be back here! Highly recommend the Birria tostada wrap, elote, churros, and chicken verde salsa tacos!“

“Thank you for the burrito bowl at the backpack event at cedar field! So good!!! ♥“

“I love their street tacos and friendly service!!“

“When I say they load the meat on those tacos I mean they LOAD IT ON. Like I could hardly hold it all in the tortilla. The meat was delicious too, very fresh. Amazing price too! Come in on Taco Tuesdays for some incredible tacos for cheap. I couldn’t recommend them more. Absolutely worth waiting like 20 minutes, they cook everything fresh. Their grocery store has awesome meat prices too!“

“Wonderful little place for delicious Mexican food. My go to is the dinkytown burrito with birria and they DO NOT SKIMP on the food! (Unlike chipotle) I’m a big boy and can eat a lot but this had me full halfway through. Service was good too and the worker was very quick with my order!“

“Family was attending a get together at Minneapolis Axe Throwing and afterwards decided to grab a bite. Decided to stop by Sonora Mexican Kitchen just happenstance. WOW. I live for Mexican food and honestly this food was really top of the list. Everyone at the table indicated that the food was the best tasting they have had for a Mexican fare. Not just saying this. I had to think when I’ve had better, and couldn’t really come up with an answer. It was a long drive for us, but I’m going to have to make this trip again. Well done Sonora Mexican Kitchen and Bar! Well done!“

“I truly think this is the best Mexican food in Anoka County! Both locations! Ham Lake location is inside of the BP gas station right off of Constance and 65, you can eat inside or get takeout. They have their own app which makes online ordering a breeze! I feel like this is the best hidden food gem around, I’m assuming people either don’t realize it’s there or are turned off because it’s located inside of a BP. But it’s actually an adorable set up inside the BP and not weird at all :) I give this place 5/5 stars! 🌯🌮💕“

“Nacho del gordo was amazing and the margarita“

“#1 Mexican restaurant, 550% delicious, prices are always a deal, with an owner with a beautiful soul! Thank you for feeding me for over 25 years.“

“Not easy to find a combination of good food, pleasant service and reasonable price eating out these days, but Esmeralda checked all the boxes. Server offered a suggestion that was perfect, and checked back to make sure all was good. I will definitely be back. Thank you Kennia!“

“they were super sweet and the food came super fast! The food was pretty good but a bit expensive! Family friendly and good drink options as well!“

“Definitely try this place out. Our server David was great! All his recommendations were great. I got the margarita flight and the chicken tinga street tacos. delicious! the outside seating is pleasant! will be back!“
