I love the grilled veggie-stuffed burrito here. Always order the same thing bc it's tried and true: regular veggie burrito with whole wheat tortilla, sub whole beans for black beans, add cheese. The veggies they put in are grilled zucchini, broccoli, carrots, onions, and green bell pepper. So far out of half a dozen or so of this burrito it's been totally vegetarian safe (no unwanted carne asada pieces camouflaging themselves amongst the beans). The rice and beans are vegetarian, too-- no lard or animal stock cooked in-- which is a major come up for my lil veggie heart. read more

Gourmet Taco Shop - Regular size veggie burrito with wheat tortilla, sub black beans, add cheese - Mexican Near Me - Sonoma, California

On a recent trip here with my daughters I bought them two tacos each. That's it. Four tacos. Two bean tacos and two beef. This was over $28. These are average tacos there's nothing special about them. But I was a little shocked at how much those are and I don't think I will go back for more ever again at that price. Low value for the buck here. Shocking actually. That's all that needs to be said if you are a budget minded person. Mexican food used to be affordable. This is absolutely unaffordable. read more

Quality items and I love the "McDougall menu"! Decent prices and great service. This is a neighborhood gem for us.

Food was a bit salty, did not receive napkins or salsa with my order, this was my first time eating at this location witch fought my attention by there slogan " Gourmet Taco Shop" I was expecting better. read more

Fresh tasting ingredients, friendly staff, fair prices-I grab a bite there whenever I'm in sonoma !

I haven't been here for five, almost six years and they are excellent. The staff is kind and service is top notch. The food, oh the food. I had to use the higher notch on my belt after eating here. The ambiance is chill and the customers and ataff are friendly. read more

I was just was passing the and stopped here for breakfast and absolutely loved the food. I got the new soup they have on the menu I forgot the name but it was so so GOOD. Definitely coming back and the staff and cook were so nice and polite. read more

One of my families favorite places for dinner! We love the giant burritos, they have a great vegetarian one, which has so many vegetables in it. I also love their pulled pork giant burrito, the giant can be shared and have sour cream, guacamole, and all the good stuff! They also make epic nachos, give them a try! read more

High quality meats really good lengua which is hard to find. The carne asada and carnitas were tender seasoned well and tacos come with beans, ciliantro and onions if you say "everything". There is a salsa bar to add your desired salsa from mild to hot. read more

Gourmet Taco Shop - a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Sonoma, California

Order at the counter from a fairly sprawling menu. Has the chorizo breakfast burrito straight up here (no added potato or other things). It was pretty plain and super oil-e. It wasn't inedible but I was expecting more. At least it was a good size. Also tried the crispy carnitas tacos. Similarly did not have much flavor and were disappointing but larger on the size end. The women behind the counter was sweet and our order came quickly but given the taste, I probably wouldn't go back. read more

This place was my introduction to Mexican cuisine back when I was a teen (decades ago). Since then I've branched out a lot, and every now and again out of nostalgia, I find myself trying this place and leave disappointed every time. I think it changed ownership a while back, but their carne asada is the same. It can taste acceptable when it's first served, but anything left over always tastes off (old) or it has a lot of gristle. The last time I went I was excited that they had pastor. I ordered a pastor burrito for home and after the first bite, I was convinced that they put ketchup in my burrito. Turns out they put so much canned pineapple in the dish, the sweetness overpowered everything. I've seen pastor recipes call for some pineapple, but not in the amount that was present in my food. It was sickly sweet and inedible. The people that run it are very warm and welcoming, I hope their food improves somehow, but it seems there are a lot of people that enjoy their food, I'm just not one of them and I wish that I was. read more

This place has the best food! I go here all the time they make their own taquitos, the Burritos are awesome and so are the fish tacos. Service is great read more

Great food, generous portions, reasonable prices and comfortable atmosphere. Nice place to go to for lunch.

I remember coming here as a child and a family member of mine got a smashed fly on their burrito. When they brought it up the person behind the counter called them a bunch of profanity's. It's been 30 years and I will never come back . read more

Best grilled fish tacos ever! I'm a Sauce Queen, and it's slightly Smokey flavor sauce is delish! Quick and easy, don't miss taco Tuesdays at half price! read more

On a recent Doordash order, the quality was lacking. Enchiladas were filled with dryed out chicken meat, as was my buritto. No sauce or cheese inside the Enchildas, just the dried out meat. Super burrito was certainly not super....mostly rice and tiny bit of sour cream and guacamole. The chicken, like the enchiladas was dry and overcooked. This place used to be very good, but doubt I'll order again with so many better choices in town. read more

We were attracted by the name of this restaurant. We also wanted to try some place new . Our order was 1 fried fish taco and 1 fish burrito . The cashier was friendly and thorough , even asked if we would like free chips , of course we did . Our first clue that the food wasn't going to be as good as we expected was the 4 salsa choices & the salsa verde bar. We found all the choices didn't taste good & were bland , salt didn't help either. Then our food arrived the fish taco was bland and I was disappointed and as for the fish burrito it was gross ! More meats than fish, with runny beans, just from the appearance I couldn't even imagine eating it nor watching my son eat it . With a name like Gourmet Taco Shop we expected food far superior than what was delivered. 1 star is all I can give this restaurant & it's only because the cashier . read more

Yeah, it's not *gourmet*. Let's just get that out of the way, mm-kay? It feels like Mexican Food for people who don't know what Mexican food is. I had the carnitas and they looked like two footballs placed in front of me. Strangely, despite being a Mountain Of Meat, they were flavorless. I mean, I just had the same thing at another Mexican restaurant and it was incredible. But this just tasted... like nuthin', I guess. Very weird. When you have to douse your taco with salsa to get any flavor, you got a problem In The Kitchen. The people seem nice. But I'm not sure I'd ever come back, not when there's other places on Hwy 12 delivering spectacular competition. Sure the portions are huge but bigger isn't necessarily *better*. I mean, we all saw "Batman v Superman," right? read more

The fish tacos are amazing! Sonoma's gourmet taco shop is one of the best in our families opinion. We are often ordering to go. However their dinning room is always welcoming! I have never had a bad anything here! It's always delicious. read more

Have been going here for decades and it's consistently great. Definitely recommend splitting the surf and turf burrito with another person as it is delicious and huge. read more

I thought the food was great. I thought they had a wonderful selection of different choices. Service was great the place was clean. I look forward to returning. You can order as much or as little as you wanted. read more

Worst tacos of my life. It wasn't even a taco, I got the steak tacos and I got home and it was dry meat, pinto beans and salsa. They were so dry I couldn't even choke them down. No cheese, no sour cream, no sauce. The meat wasn't sautéed in anything, it wasn't freshly cooked either. Probably a day old, I am very disappointed. read more

Great healthy menu options that followed a McDougall diet guidelines. Other options are "normal". Love their fresh salsa!

This location was kept fairly clean with a few exceptions of a couple tables that had food on them have weren't wiped down while we were there. The burrito is good but nothing special. The salsa are also good but not memorable. You are offered "free chips" after you place your order which is nice but the serving size is small. Thankfully the burritos came out fast. Prices are fair and service is cordial. I may return if I'm in the area but I may also venture out and try something else new because nothing from my visit here left me wanting to come back for more. read more

I was a very regular customer. Every Tuesday like clockwork. Food was solid, chips tended to be a bit overcook and very crisp. After the latest price increase of 47% for regular burritos and 41% for large we will not be heading back. read more

Good value! The street tacos and tostada were tasty and reasonably priced. Salsa bar was great too!

Gourmet Taco drew my attention since 5 peace officers were eating outside their doors. later events prove this "sign" isn't an accurate indicator of good food. menu has bipolar pricing: tacos (2.75), burritos (3.90), plates (10ish) specials every day of the week. eats: 5 minitacos (5/$5) thurs/friday/saturday special -2 lengua tender and tastless -2 al pastor dried meat, spicy -1 steak chewy beef all tacos very generous with meats nice lemony spicy sauce too -comped chips semistale food quality 2 stars, value 4 stars rating 2.5 stars frijoles refritos: -was concerned about getting food poisin, just got upset stomach -decor dated -music: mariachi read more

This is the worst Mexican, and maybe the worst meal, we've ever had. Shiso was closed across the way so we ended up here because I was about to have a meltdown if I didn't eat ASAFP. I couldn't finish it. Steamed veggies wrapped in a soggy tortilla and smothered in something that resembled verde sauce in color only. That was the burrito and the enchiladas. Basically all the veggie food is the same shitty food. No flavor. I'd be embarrassed to serve this to anyone but my worst enemy. read more

The food is so so definitely not what it was years ago. A word of advice, definitely call and order before you arrive for to go orders or you will be stuck standing there for 20 minutes watching them take order after order after order after order over the phone. read more

This is truly one of the BEST taco shops around. Everything is so fresh. Cooked perfectly. Salsa bar with limes and Jalapeños. Food is delicious. They even have many healthy options and have Dr Pregors whole menu. However their main faire is so good. I know don't eat anywhere else for Mexican food. THE BEST! read more

Found this place by accident. Glad we did! We got their weekend special 5 tacos for $7 and they were delish. In addition, we got a fish taco. Not quite Baja style but pretty good for Sonoma lol. We liked the food and the salsas. We definitely keep this place in mind for future trips to Sonoma. read more

For my first time, I thought it was pretty good. Inexpensive, fast and friendly service. Perhaps the food could be a bit better. Yet for the price and the size of portions I thought it was pretty good. I had the nachos. Pretty simple. I like the way the cooks mince the tomatoes, they are very finely chopped. I will have to go back and try more items on the menu. Initially I wanted to try the fish tacos. But my friend who was with me said to skip the fish tacos and go for the nachos or a burrito. Next time I will try the burrito. read more

Gourmet Taco Shop - Gourmet Taco shop is a great little spot to get some really good Mexican food. Quick, fresh and friendly service. - Mexican Near Me - Sonoma, California

Mexican is not my favorite food but was the only food place open in this mall. The fish in the fish taco was mostly batter but the cabbage was fresh and crunchy. I prefer Rubio's fish tacos by a Huge margin. The veggie burrito had steamed zucchini, broccoli and beans and was huge. Too bad it had a regular tortilla even though I asked for the whole-wheat variety. $5.50 for the burrito and about $3 for the taco made this a very average meal for an average price. read more

I ordered a pollo tostada after seeing the large tortilla bowls behind the counter. I opened the container to eat it and was surprised to see now crunchy bowl. I saw green lettuce, some shredded white cheese and tons of sour cream. after sting and taking a few bites, I found some green tomato salsa, cold chewy pieces of chicken. Dissappointed, I used a chip to scoop and found a soggy cold corn tortilla underneath which was smeared with black refried beans? so unappetizing and dissatisfying. No care when's into this dish at all. read more

Affordable, large portions, friendly staff, spicy salsa. The local place to get a good taco without wine country prices.

Just got my lunch here & my meal was dry & flavorless. I couldn't even finish it. You shouldn't have to drown your Mexican food in salsa just for it to be edible. Sorry to say but I won't be back. The only good thing was that the place was clean & the workers very pleasant. Not much more to say without being a total asshole. Don't bother with this place. If you've ever had San Diego taco shop food then you know what is good & what isn't. God I miss SD. read more

I used to love their food when they were sonoma taco shop and now they serve cheap ass horrible steak in their burrito! The grilled fish in the tacos tasted putrid! Never coming back here again...nasty! read more

Been coming here since 2009 and have seen the ownership change hands a few times too. Our most recent visit was last Friday June 1st. Ordered a nachos platter with grilled chicken and seated ourselves outside. Not sure why but the cheese was this semi melted glob to where each chip picked up was dragging a clump of cheese along with whatever else was in that section. The grilled chicken... hmmm, "Where's the Chicken!?" What little bit of grilled chicken that was scattered under the semi-melted cheese was barely noticeable and again, the cheese wasn't given the proper amount of time cheese requires to melt into what is usually a lively, stringy delight. Moot point sending it back since the guacamole and sour cream and salsa were the topping for the final stages of nacho building 101. They didn't leave the part of it with just cheese topping it long enough under the burners to achieve this wonderful thing that makes nachos so much fun. This was never the case under the prior ownerships. read more
