    Fish tacos- no flavor, would not recommend
    Elizabeth T.

    This review is for their fish tacos. I ordered for pick up and staff member on phone was pleasant but the food was not! The fish tacos were the most flavorless fish tacos I have ever had. They should take them off the menu and start over. My husband got the surf and turf tacos which were salty but overall tasted decent. The food looked but the looks were deceiving. This place is always packed and lively but for some reason the food has been a miss lately.

    Carne asada nachos the works..
    Corrine O.

    The food was so good. I had the chile relleno burrito. That was so cheesy I loved it. Fair prices too. Also shared nachos. Yummy! Found this gem on Yelp while passing thru the city. I will return to eat here again. Service was fine. You order at register then they bring your food to table. Light atmosphere with a small bar of liquor, beer & seltzers.

    Tacos ahogados- so delicious
    Liz M.

    The atmosphere is always fun! Usually some sort of sporting event is being broadcasted on their TVs. The staff is always helpful and super nice. They serve specialty beers (can you tell I am not a beer connoisseur ) but all I can say is there different types of micheladas are delicious. Now the food!! I have never been disappointed! Their heartbreaker (actually all) hotdogs are so good. The bun is what sets them apart. Its like having a hot dog in Mexicali. Follow their instagram so you can find out about their specials. So far when I try something... delicious. My go to though is the chile relleno burrito. Best in town.

    Sonora Grill is well-known throughout The IE. It's worth a visit if you're heading toward Vegas, Escondido, or Palm Springs. The bread and tortillas are house-made and the service is friendly & attentive serving the community. It's located in a typical Southern California strip mall with Lumpia and Pan Dulce only a few steps away. We had the Sonoran Dog with fries and Heartbreaker, which is a footlong bacon-wrapped 100% beef dog served with beans and pico de gallo on top. The beans are very delicious and the hot dog was tasty without being too salty. They also have outdoor seating and a belt for the line, so I'm certain the breakfast, lunch, and dinner rushes are consistent. They have an extensive beer list and a few seltzers, kombuchas, and hard ciders.

    Sonoran Hot Dog and California Burrito
    Jeremy S.

    Heard good things about this spot on social media and wanted to try something different than your standard Mexican restaurant so we gave this a try on a Saturday night! Got the Sonoran hot dog and the California burrito. The hot dog was pretty good, the toppings were tasty and blended well with the hot dog. The sausage was grilled pretty well, I thought the bun itself was just okay. It could have been toasted better. Felt like it was good but was just missing something to make the dish stand out more. The burrito on the other hand was amazing. One of the best I've had from anywhere. We got carne asada in the burrito and it was top notch. Cooked really well and blended perfectly with the rest of the burrito. I was really impressed! Service was good here as well and gave us some solid recs, The restaurant is nice with plenty of TVs playing sports and was very clean. The plaza it's in is a bit underwhelming but overall not terrible. Overall, had a good dinner here and really want to try some of their other dishes!

    Brewery X Huckleberry Seltzer at 5%   Refreshing and lots of huckleberry flavor. Love this.
    Jorge M.

    Very clean place, surprising a large selection of local brewery beers and their own selection. In addition, delicious menu of Mexican food to enjoy. A bright spot in Moreno Valley.

    Seriously, who wraps a burrito in bacon. Hilarious. So good. Sauces are good too.
    Eric R.

    Good food- excellent service. Loved the experience overall. I loved the atmosphere. I got nachos, and most everyone else got burritos. The burritos are obnoxiously large. The bacon wrapped one my friend got looked so unique.

    Bacon wrapped El Chapo burrito super filling!
    Annie M.

    This place screams football season! A must visit and such a great selection of food! Loved the surf and turf nachos a must try! Huge portions the Nachos come out in a tray definitely for 2! Brunch vibes chilaquiles with a cold beer or a yummy iced cafe de la Hoya on a Sunday. Perfection on a Sunday! Lots of TVs and games are all on. 10/10 this place never misses!

    1 star : Service was really good 1 star : clean establishment 1 star : friendly environment 1 star: price The food was mediocre.. I ended up throwing 1/2 away. It lacked flavor unfortunately. I got the loaded fries. However my Mail said the chicken salad was bomb. All in all I'd probably go back

    It's really good

    The food and drinks are good I'm bringing my whole family next time The nachos were delicious

    Super Nachos

    The bacon wrapped breakfast burrito is epic, it was really delicious but I did feel a bit guilty afterwards but totally worth it.

    Ask the Community - Sonora Grill

    Do they use lard in their beans?

    EVERY self respecting Mexican restaurant uses Manteca (lard) in their beans!!

    Does Sonora Grill serve gluten free food?

    Not really. Corn tortillas are only available on Tuesday.

    Do they have happy hour?

    No they don't but I still highly recommend. Carne asada super fries are the best and HUGE. Feeds 2 easily I'm a big guy and I could not finish.

    Are there Taco Tuesday specials here?

    Yes, dollar tacos but on select meat.

    What is the average cost of a meal for two people minus alcohol?

    Usually less than $20, although the larger items on the menu (El Chapo, The Heartbreaker) can cost more.

    Ancho's is one of those places I honestly don't know if it's considered a hidden gem or not, but…read moreafter living in Riverside for the past 3-4 years, I can't believe I've never been here until now. I found out about it through my cousin, who's a UCR alum, and I'm really glad I finally got to try it. The staff were super nice and attentive, constantly coming by our table to check if we needed more water, tortillas, or anything else we might want. Even with how busy it was, they still made sure everyone was taken care of, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was packed, and it actually surprised me because I don't usually see that many people at restaurants in Riverside. The energy inside felt lively but still comfortable. One of my favorite parts was the fresh tortillas. They come out hot and fresh from the oven, and you can literally watch them being made right in front of you, which made it even better. And the best part is they're free. We ordered the carne fajitas and chile relleno. The fajitas were incredible, the meat was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, with that perfect smoky sear that comes from being cooked fresh on a hot skillet. Everything came out sizzling and stayed flavorful with every bite. The chile relleno was also really good, with a nice balance of savory and slightly creamy filling that paired well with the sauce. It was actually my first time trying fajitas, and I can confidently say I'll be ordering them again the next time I come back. I definitely plan on returning while I'm still at UCR to make up for all the years I didn't know this place existed.

    Im not fully sure about how we felt about this place. It wasn't bad but…read moreMy family decided to come to this restaurant to celebrate my grandfathers birthday. First time coming to the restaurant for all of us. The ambience was cool and I liked the fact that they made the tortillas fresh. The food was cool I guess. My grandmother got the chicken fajitas but there were no bell peppers with it, just onions. The tamale was mid. My Dad and myself ordered a basic bean and cheese burrito. I did not like the fact that it wasn't mentioned that the beans are made with bacon until AFTER we received our food! My dad doesn't eat meat and the rice is made with chicken as well. The server did bring him something else but this needs to be stated on the menu or upon ordering! We were sat right next to where they made the tortillas and can see them being made since they had glass windows around it. However, there was one gentleman that was making tortillas who was on his cell phone texting or whatever CONSTANTLY at the same time while doing this. He had a glove on one hand and no glove on the other, and was touching the tortilla dough.....We all know how dirty a cell phone is! And what made it worse is at one point he itched the inside of his nose with his finger, and didn't even wash his hands or have gloves on after that. Definitely made my stomach turn and what caused me to go and write this review. I suggest a camera be placed at the tortilla station, add the notes about bacon in the beans and chicken in the rice, and add bell peppers to the fajitas. Also, maybe give the option of meatless beans and rice for the non-meat eaters
