    Great service and views from the second floor. Try to sit near the windows if you can. Burgers were a hit so we returned 4 days later. Cheese starter did not disappoint. Nice way to start off a meal.

    This place was delicious! Was recommended by a friend while visiting Mexico City! Service was amazing and the drinks and food were perfect. Best agua Chile I've ever had.

    This restaurant is one of the most upscale restaurants that I've been to in several years. Everything from the food, service, and overall atmosphere was top notch. I ordered a Cesar salad and it was huge and loaded with tons of vegetables. Everyone else ordered the prime rib steak or some other variation of steak. From what I was told, they do steak right here. We actually had a team of servers helping us at our table. Everything was great. The restaurant was close to where we are staying, and it is a real high quality restaurant.

    $200 stake? Beware on this scam. My husband is Japanese and doesn't speak Spanish, he was targeted.

    We got scammed badly! Husband and I went for dinner, look at the menu, husband ordered the ribeye stake for about $1500 pesos which is like $90 USD, then a cook stop by with a board with all the stake cuts, he shows husband the difference between stakes and sides, husband happy order the stake he pointed from the menu, we also order an appetizer, a side dish, and a couple of glass of wine, then we had dessert. When we got the check the stake was for like $3600 pesos or a bit over $200 USD, which is not even in the menu, the total was $300 USD. We were in shock. Paying the check happened so fast I didn't even get copy of receipt. The total with tip was $350 USD. We were staying in the hotel, we were told at front desk hotel guests gets 15% off in the hotel's restaurant, then server told us "Sonora is not part of the hotel". Food was good, ambience was good, but the scam was very bad. Fortunately we can afford paying expensive meals, but the experience of getting scam during vacation was unpleasant. That night we went back to the room and laughed, we travel all over the world and we know how to prevent scams, Sonora Grill is very sneaky, they really outsmarted us. We tried to not let the bad experience ruined the moment so we let it go. I'm back home in Hawaii, and recalling the experience makes stop by in yelp and give a heads up to tourists. Make sure this doesn't happen to you.

    Tenderloin tacos
    Victoria G.

    The ambiance and service are top tier. The cocktails had beautiful presentation. For an appetizer we had the burnt cheese. It came with tortillas. It was super tasty! For the main course hubby ordered the Beef Wellington burger and I got Tenderloin Tacos. My husband loved his burger it even came with a live presentation. My tacos were good but super rich and a bit too oily for me. All of our food was super rich. At the end we were given complimentary limon ice cream. It was great to have after such a heavy dinner.

    Rib eye wrapped asparagus!

    Amazing service. Everything I ate was delicious. Awesome dazzling drinks and a cool atmosphere in a nice downtown area in CDMX.

    The burgers are so good I could eat this every week and the salsa and bean dip the Best I can't stop thinking about how great the food was.

    This was the best steak and grilled asparagus the cream spinach was very good. On my first night I was shown a NY strip steak perfect marbling grilled to a perfect medium rare. The Hotel was perfect as well thank you for the great dinning experience Allen.

    This place was next to where I was staying. Granted, it's a part of the hotel so they're getting a lot of tourist who are paying top dollar for .. well, 3rd party hotel restaurant. That said. I was seated quickly upstairs on a Friday evening (good place for large parties). Lighting upstairs is dim and the seating in the front has cute string lights, but the mosquitos this time of year is killer for a girl like me. The music is bumping quite loudly, so a bit less intimate romancey, but the service is ON POINT. They have plenty of staff and tend to you quickly and efficiently. I must say the staff is their redeeming quality... they come over to check on me many times and even cracked a few jokes with me as I was eating alone. I was started with a refried bean dip, chips, and 4 salsas on the house. Also got the caesar salad & NY strip (classic and hard to fuck up).. well, I was quite disappointed. The steak was wayyyy under seasoned (but they brought me 4 different kinds of salt after a S&P request to season my own steak and cook it on the sizzling plate it came out on). In contrast, the Caesar was overloaded with toppings and extremely salty from the amount of cheese on it. While I needed something just quick and nearby, I wouldn't recommend coming here out of all the places in CDMX unless you're in dire need like me. It's nothing special, below par really, and it is definitely overpriced. I imagine it's where a HS prom date would go to feel fancy but in reality, it's an upscale Cheesecake Factory.

    Have you ever been on vacation, feeling both your wallet and your waistline getting uncomfortably heavy? Well, look no further than Sonora Grill--it's practically a crash-course in weight loss! I made a New Year's resolution to drop a few pounds, and on day one, this fine establishment served me their signature Mango Ceviche and Wagyu. Talk about results: I started hurling right when I left the building. I'd managed to throw up eight times in half an hour, which left me parched and begging for water. Sonora Grill kindly offered me their top-shelf tap water at no charge--apparently, that's the extra kick you need to lose that stubborn holiday weight. I declined, however; I have my limits, and fainting on a sidewalk in Mexico City seemed like a much more thrilling story. Next thing I knew, I was checking into one of the most exclusive overnight accommodations in town--a local hospital. IV drips, top-notch nursing staff, an uninterrupted stay... Talk about VIP treatment! Sure, I missed out on touring the pyramids of Teotihuacan and visiting the Anthropology Museum, but just think of the money I saved by not paying for those tours. After all was said and done, Sonora Grill achieved what years of street food in India and Egypt never could: my very first hospital stay in over a decade. If you're looking for a quick, albeit extreme, way to shed a 15 pounds and pinch some pennies on sightseeing, this place has you covered. Bon appétit! P.S. They will promise you a refund and not honor it. When you do a charge back on your credit card, they will fight it! Still cheaper than Ozempic...

    Carribean Colada
    Paul J.

    We came to Sonora Grill with an Anniversary Party, and they laid on the fun! First, I have to recommend the mixology menu - I got the Carribean Colada, with rum, pineapple, lemon and coconut juices, and it came in a half coconut shell with dry ice fog floating out of the shell. We tried nearly everything on the menu from huge steaks to tacos and octopus. Even the chips and queso were elevated. And of course, they brought out a series of desserts, one with a sparkling firework shooting out as the staff sang happy anniversary to our table. Sonora Grill is a fun place, especially for important events. Definitely a recommendation for anyone looking for fancy dining in CDMX!

    Mocka Cake
    Chris F.

    Was seated very quickly (around 9:30pm). It's a very loud environment, there was a DJ (just played whole songs though not like an actual party DJ), there's a lot of staff in black (with ear pieces, etc.) walking around but none of them helped or stopped (or made eye contact when I was trying to order/get my check). The chairs were pretty uncomfortable, the bench seats against the wall were better but still uncomfortable. The table had a big triangle structure on the base so there was no where to put your feet comfortably. The Monkey Fruit cocktail was delicious. The cappuccino was ok. I was going to order the ceviche but they didn't have it. They also didn't have any of the fish options available. There wasn't anything else on the menu that was very vegetarian friendly. I would think since it's an electronic menu they would remove the items they don't have available. I ordered the Mocka Cake. It's very interesting. A lot of different textures going on. I only ended up eating about 1-2 bites though. Pretty expensive place for the experience I had with the lack of options/availability of options listed. (680 pesos)

    Shrimp pasta

    The food was excellent, the service was incredible. And the vibe was 10/10. Would recommend anyone to come here!

    So Mexico City is a city that is truly a foodie's paradise-One can't throw a rock without hitting…read morea Michelin rated restaurant. Another thing this city has is very inexpensive spots you can eat,like pop ups or stands that serve such high quality food at very cheap prices. The third thing I found about this city is where this restaurant fits in-They have restaurants that are historic,that opened over 100 years ago-Cafe de Tacuba fits in that category,having opened in 1912. This restaurant is located in Centro Historico-just a few blocks from Zocalo.Its location is a very busy touristy part of Mexico City. When we arrived there was a 30 minute wait,but once we walked in it was obvious why as it was truly a work of art in there. The walls were adorned with amazing paintings and murals and interior designs elements that transported you back to Mexico in the 1950s and earlier. It was gorgeous. I don't want to call it a fancy place with all the stigma that sometimes represents but it was a fancy place without all the stuffiness of a fancy place. It was a very warm and welcoming place to dine at. There was a lady walking around with a platter full of conchas and churros that one could indulge in while waiting their main meal. I had to get a churro-it was so delicious. We also got chicken tortilla soup-it was so rich and tasty with the perfect blend of Mexican seasonings. I had a pretty good cafe con leche as well-you could really taste the high quality coffee beans they use in their coffees compared to what I'd been getting all trip in the streets. Now when you visit this restaurant and you could only try one dish-that dish begins and ends with Enchiladas Tacuba(355 pesos/$20.35) That's what I got and it was awesome.Its basically a chicken enchilada dish with a creamy spinach based sauce topped with cheese-flavor bomb to the fullest. 9.5/10 Item I wouldn't clarify this as an inexpensive meal compared to other places we visited in Mexico City,but I would call this place an incredible dining experience where one can just feel the importance of the building one is having this meal. Heck Diego Rivera had his wedding reception here in 1922. I for sure would recommend anyone who has the pleasure of visiting Mexico City,must add Cafe de Tacuba to their itinerary-it's such a rich experience.

    The tamales and chilaquiles verdes con huevos y bistec were okay. The tamales were a little dry,…read morewhile the chilaquiles verdes con huevos y bistec were bland and could have used more seasoning. Customer service could be improved, as it was hard to get a hold of our waiter at times. All in all, worth visiting for the ambiance, but the food did not match the experience.

Vivo en Nueva York y llevaba mucho tiempo soñando con disfrutar unos auténticos chiles rellenos en un restaurante tan reconocido. El lugar es realmente hermoso. Su patio colonial tiene un ambiente mágico y la atención fue excelente desde que llegamos. También quiero destacar que las bebidas estuvieron deliciosas y muy bien preparadas. Lamentablemente, los chiles rellenos no cumplieron con nuestras expectativas. Tanto mi mamá como yo pedimos ese platillo y coincidimos en que llegaron bastante fríos y no sabían frescos. Muy amablemente nos ofrecieron cambiarlos, lo cual agradecimos, pero preferí no hacerlo y esperar para comer un poco del platillo de mi hija, ya que sabía que no lo terminaría. Afortunadamente, el resto de mi familia tuvo una experiencia muy diferente. Mi papá, mi esposo y mi hija disfrutaron muchísimo sus alimentos y quedaron muy satisfechos con sus platillos. Para cerrar la noche, todos compartimos postres acompañados de café y chocolate caliente, y esa parte de la experiencia fue deliciosa. En general, creo que Azul Histórico ofrece un ambiente espectacular y un servicio de primera. Aunque mi platillo no fue lo que esperaba, el resto de la comida y la experiencia familiar hicieron que la visita valiera la pena. Espero tener la oportunidad de regresar y probar otras especialidades del menú. During a family trip to Mexico City, one of the places I was most excited to visit was Azul Histórico. I live in New York, and I had been looking forward to enjoying authentic Mexican chile rellenos at such a renowned restaurant. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. The colonial courtyard creates a magical atmosphere, and the service was excellent from the moment we arrived. I also have to mention that the drinks were delicious and beautifully prepared. Unfortunately, the chile rellenos didn't meet our expectations. My mom and I both ordered them, and we agreed that they were served quite cold and didn't taste fresh. The staff kindly offered to replace our meals, which we truly appreciated, but I decided not to. Instead, I ended up eating some of my daughter's meal since I knew she wouldn't finish it. Thankfully, the rest of my family had a wonderful dining experience. My dad, my husband, and my daughter all loved their meals and were very happy with what they ordered. We finished the evening with desserts, coffee, and hot chocolate, and everything was absolutely delicious. Overall, Azul Histórico offers a stunning setting and outstanding service. While my entrée wasn't what I had hoped for, the rest of the meal and the time spent with my family made it a memorable experience. I'd gladly return to try other dishes from the menu.
