One of our favorite places in Ogden to eat. Truly great food and the waiter/waitresses are so nice and informative on what to eat and what is top of the menu.The food is always flavorful, great service and never overly busy to where you are waiting too long to get a seat. Highly recommend and they also have a kids menu which is nice.Parking: Roughly 10 spots right in front of Sonora Grill but there is parking all along the streets that you can usually find parking quickly.Kid-friendliness: Nice atmosphere and outside area for the kids to run around on. Also kid friendly menu.
A modern take on Mexican food. Nice atmosphere with good food and service.Parking: Limited free street parking or a parking garage located 1 block west.

Pretty good! We came here to say goodbye to a work colleague. The food was good and service was fast. A little different spin on Mexican cuisine than I would expect but I liked it.

Sonora Grill is always a good place to eat. It's like the fancy version of Mexican food. It's pricey, but it's tasty. I especially enjoy their chile verde.I am sad that the chips and salsa are no longer free, though.

My family and I went for my birthday dinner last night and our experience was amazing to say the least. To start our server was so kind and went above and beyond even down to picking up our papers from our straws in order not to leave a mess on the table. The food was absolutely delicious so much so that my husband asked them to give him compliments to the chef, he said the agua chiles reminded him of his grandmothers, which is saying a lot. They brought me sopapillas for my birthday dessert and the chef wanted my husband to try the flan, which I couldn’t help myself not trying and I must say as someone who doesn’t usually like flan it was absolutely delicious! If I could give 10 stars I would. I’ve been going here for years and I love bringing people to share this amazing place with them. Definitely check this place out you won’t be disappointed, and if there’s a wait time just be patient it’s worth it I promise!
Amazing food! Best relleno anywhere! So glad the carnitas are back!

First place we ate on our vacation and it was good. Pretty standard food, the menu appeared pretty fancy but in reality it was nothing special. There is no free chips and salsa, we did order some and the salsa were more like a smoky tomato reduction. (Not necessarily a bad thing - it just wasn’t traditional salsa) and we also ordered the carne asada plate (big enough to share!) and it was good, but just not super ~anything~.They do have a very clearly marked gf and vegan/vegetarian menu!Vegetarian options: Very clearly marked :)Dietary restrictions: Menu is clearly marked and staff was well informed about ingredientsParking: Free street parking if you can find it!Kid-friendliness: I don’t see any reason why this place wouldn’t be kid friendly, it’s nice and spacious and has good seating and a good kids menuWheelchair accessibility: It is flat and has a good open wide hallway and tables easy to park at

I’m hoping that I just ate my last meal from this place. My wife and I both ordered the fajitas. I would recommend them if you LOVE onions. It felt like we each had two full onions, 1/2 a bell pepper and just enough protein to call it a steak or shrimp fajita. There were only 6 pieces of shrimp on the plate and it was hard to see the steak through the giant pile of onions. Not at all worth the price. The server was fantastic tho.
I only liked the guacamole. The service was lovely.

I'm genuinely so sad this isnt in Utah County. Very agreeable prices for a delicious meal. I've never had a Carne Asada so good. We live in Lehi and are looking for reasons to go to Ogden just to eat

I was up in Ogden about a month ago for work and we decided on this restaurant for lunch. We were able to get in very quickly which was great! As you enter the establishment, the interior is warm and welcoming, but seems a little confused. It feels like they're trying to achieve a modern Mexican influenced upscale restaurant, but there are some industrial elements that seem a bit out of place (especially considering that the ceiling is comprised of completely exposed ductwork).The service was okay! Because of the time of day it was when we went, it was relatively busy so we didn't get the most genuinely interested or engaged interactions with our server, but she was fairly speedy!Regarding the food, I wouldn't suggest what I got if you're looking for authenticity. I ordered the Shrimp Chile Relleno and while a Chile relleno is consistently a favorite dish I enjoy ordering at Mexican restaurants, this was like the distant cousin of a Chile relleno. When I looked up other photos from reviews that had a chile relleno, I very quickly learned that the shrimp chile relleno does not appear to be battered in the same way. The batter around the chile had a flakier texture and crumbled off very easily. Also, the cheese inside was very surprising - it lacked any cheese pull abilities! In fact, it quite possibly seemed to be a cream cheese consistency within which was somewhat off-putting texturally. Overall, the flavor was okay; I would definitely consider it a miss as far as giving you the same flavors as a normal Chile relleno would, and I don't think this was due to any of the flavor influence from the shrimp.Considering the whole experience, it sufficed for a quick work lunch, but pivoted from delivering authenticity with the meal.

I went here with a large group of people so there was a delay in seating but it was well worth the wait! I had to try the Virgin Pina Colada and it was delicious but nothing compares to the main dish I had. Carnitas Nortenas without the salsa, cilantro, or onions. When I tell you this was the best Mexican I have ever had, I am NOT exaggerating! The flavors in the black beans and the meat are out of this world! I have not tasted anything this good in a long time. The only downside is they give you two small flour tortillas and they don't hold much. The upside, leftovers! And they taste just as good the next day. Even my husband, who HATES Mexican, loves this place! I will 110% be back and you should 110% try it too!
Great food and really amazing staff. Service was quick and the menu was fantastic.
