    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

    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!

    I ordered the grilled octopus with rosemary potatoes. Everything was delicious. The potatoes were…read moreslightly dry and could have been cooked a little longer. Nevertheless, I ate everything on my plate. Also, we ordered meat empanada and corn empanada---both are delicious. Prices are a little steep $40 USD for 2. Temperature of the food could have been warmer/hotter. Nothing came out piping hot. My favorite was actually the chimichurri made with spinach, cilantro, oregano, garlic etc. The salsa was too "pica" for me. Sesame sticks (served with bread) have that awesome 'crunch' I like so much. I poured the chimichurri on the grilled octopus ---that hit the spot! Also, those who are checking in on Yelp! should beware that this restaurant will NOT honor the Yelp 15% discount. We showed the waiter and the manager the yelp offer. Both are unaware of the offer. EVEN if you show them the yelp offer, they refuse to honor any discount!!!! We tried to argue with them. The manager first told us he would honor the offer, then 5 minutes later he came back to our table to tell us that he would not honor it after we had already ordered. The restaurant isn't very accommodating. I appreciated the quietness of the ambiance. I got tired of going to other restaurants where it was so loud with a dozen kids screaming and running around along with loud music. They don't speak much English. So it helps to speak Spanish or have someone with you who is fluent. The menus are 100% Spanish as they don't offer an English version. Come if you want a quiet place, don't mind spending a bit more, and don't mind paying full price. The food quality is very good and fresh. grilled meats are their signature items.

    This is a great spot to celebrate or have a romantic dinner in Mexico City. Try the tenderloin of…read morebeef roasted on a salt block and then flambeed with mezcal.

    LOVELY PLACE, BUT WATCH OUT FOR THE UPSELL - Right on Paseo de la Reforma, on the second floor,…read moreyou'll find The Capital Grille, the same upscale chain you'll see in many major cities. They pride themselves on an elegant atmosphere, polished service, and fine dining, and to be fair, they deliver on the vibe. You feel like a bigshot the moment you walk in. The servers are friendly and professional, and the menu, while notably expensive overall, focuses heavily on high-end steaks and classic sides. We didn't order steak, as the prices were well beyond what we wanted to spend, so we opted for the dry-aged burger at around $24 USD. We also ordered grilled asparagus, and the burger came with truffle fries. The asparagus was quite good. The fries were decent. The burger, however, was dry, bland, and a bit tough, and it arrived overcooked despite ordering it medium. There was also an issue with the wine menu. When presented with options, the more economical bottles (still $60 usd) we asked about never seemed to be available, while plenty of alternatives at roughly double the price were readily available. That was odd notably because the menu was electronic... Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. It's a lovely place, and it's perfectly suited for a drink and maybe an appetizer if you're looking for atmosphere. Just be prepared to pay for the experience itself. If you are, you'll probably have a good time. If not, you may leave feeling a bit soured. Happy eating from John Seeto!

    We capped our trip to this fair country with a visit to (of course) Capital Grille. You know with…read morethe extra "e" in Grill you're not in Providence RI (yes founded 1990 if you can believe it). But the service and ambiance had all the hallmarks of top-of-brand. Firstly, don't expect to escape this establishment without a much lighter wallet, so cash in some of those stocks around the roundabout at the Mexican Stock Exchange and go for food-broke! Our waiter was a master at several things: among them the upsell. I nearly skipped the appetizer until he informed of the "half cup" of soup. A finished creamy clam chowder later, I was admiring my choice and his skilled power of suggestion. Wait! Is that truffle I see multiple times on the menu? One day I'll order 100% truffle items, but I was with a business group, so I'd better act all businessy. "Hey any of you up for 100% truffle?" (I said in my head). If only! Maybe I'll find another business group to hang with. I hear Truffle Co is hiring (I wouldn't last a week). Back to the main event. I of course got the truffle mushroom risotto, and here comes Mr Upsell back for the win: "you would certainly like prawns with that." But of course. I know I should have gotten steak, but I was finishing a long week of meat-indulging, so I needed a reprieve. I was so healthy with seared spinach instead of creamed. But as usual the sides are enormous, so soon I was passing that and receiving Mac-n-cheese and truffle fries. This meal is turning out to be healthy! Everybody's steak looked fabulous, as did the fish, and whatever else anybody got, etc. My "dessert splitting" compadre didn't disappoint, and we got the crème brûlée, which was as it should be (and big enough for three). That and a cappuccino put me into the happiness zone. Perhaps I'll return soon, not that I wouldn't go back tomorrow, it's just I probably need to wait for my stocks to come back up a little before the next visit.
