A terrific modestly priced Mexican restaurant. Sonora is in a safe Longfellow neighborhood of S. Minneapolis. The large menu takes full advantage of Mexican cuisine's ability to create endless combinations from a few flat breads, a handful of vegetables and a few meats.
Somehow I have never had elote before. This is a grilled cob of corn with garlic, cilantro, chile powder, mayo, cheese, garlic, and I think some lime. Fantastic. A tequila old fashioned also disappeared....

We have driven by for several years, and came down to Lake Street to support local restaurants. The food was AMAZING. Everything was so flavorful, we shared orders and each one was soooo good. We had planned to take part of the meal home, but that didn't happen. The owner is friendly and we appreciated the details of presentation. Definitely coming back and highly recommend.

A true hidden gem on E. Lake Street. Amazing options for all voluntary dietary restrictions. The eggplant fries were tempura fried in a flavorful batter and served alongside the most delicious cilantro aoli known to man. A true standout! Their main dishes are all beautifully presented and made with fresh ingredients.

El Fantasma was the perfect drink - made with mezcal, its smoky flavor pairs well with everything on the menu.
