This Sofia's is the little sister to the Bay St. location, same great food and same great service, much smaller restaurant. Still gives you the Mexican vibe.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
October 2024
Loved the food it was very good. Went to the smaller location on Forest Ave for Brunch and was told they don't serve Brunch at this location because it's smaller. Was a little bummed about that but then I tried the ala cart menu and their food & drinks were very good. Would go again but will try there other locations on Staten Island instead
September 2024
Outstanding food! Great service. This place is small but excellent. We especially loved the shrimp and corn empanadas (and I’m not usually an empanada person), and the shrimp and chorizo quesadillas. The soft tacos and black bean burritos were also great. Loved the tres leches for dessert. We’ll be back!

Kid-friendliness: Casual atmosphere made this a kid-friendly place.
