We've eaten here three times, and only one visit was truly enjoyable. The service has been very hit-or-miss; on more than one occasion we've waited over an hour after ordering, with the server checking on us only every 20-30 minutes. For the price, the food quality has also been inconsistent. read more

Great food, friendly service and awesome atmosphere. I would recommend making reservations it tends to get full and can be some med-long wait times but worth the wait. read more

Ok I'll admit I was skeptical about a place in Maple Valley that had such high prices. So when we were given a gift card we decided to use it for my birthday dinner. I'll I can say is "wow". The food as spectacular! I had the tacos del patron. Delicious! My husband had to he fish tacos, he loved them. We also had the baked potato and, again, delicious! We will definitely be back. The food is the best around :) read more

Same owner as Asadero in Kent, so same awesome menu, ambiance, and value! It's an expensive dinner for Maple Valley, but it is worth it.

Food was very good! Service was great! I would definitely recommend. Our waiter was very friendly. read more

Amazing food and service, I've been go the sister restaurant Asadero for a long time. This one is just as good. Highly recommend getting their steaks! read more

I've gone back to this restaurant a few times. Great service and the steaks were amazing! Glad I gave it another chance because I think they were still figuring out kinks in the first few weeks. The ambiance is great for a smaller Suburban area. read more

I have been here more than 4 times always the food and service it's good you will not be disappointed. The ambiance it's good the music sometimes it's too loud. read more

We have been to Sonora a couple of times now and it does NOT disappoint. Maple Valley was definitely in need of some "nicer" dinner options and this place fits the bill - good ambiance, excellent service, and delicious food! Yes, it's a bit pricier than most of the surrounding establishments, but it's worth it. Water comes infused with your choice of fresh fruit, plus a little starter of tostadas with bean dip and fresh salsa. Margaritas were tasty and strong. We have tried the queso and guacamole for appetizers; both are great but the guac really stands out - highly recommend! We have tried a few entrees (torta, tacos, steaks, etc.) and my favorite were the Tacos Del Patron. On top of the great food, we have always received excellent service from Sonora's hosts and servers. They were very attentive, checking on our tables frequently, and food and drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time. Our servers were quite knowledgeable about the menu offerings - both times we received great recommendations on what to order. Easy 5/5 stars! read more

This was our first time here. A coworker recommended us to try this rest out. Let's just say we were not disappointed at all. We definitely recommend. Pricing was definitely decent and food was amazing. The perfect spot for a date night or girls night out. read more

The food, the service!! Excellent. Every meal has been excellent. The burger, grandma quesadilla, steaks, mushrooms and more.

First impressions are everything. It would have been nice to try the restaurant but when you make a reservation specifically for a booth and they sit you at a tiny table that would barely hold two plates then it is just insulting. Instead I left and will not make a return visit and will be sure to avoid the owner's other restaurants as well as steer friends and family away from them as well. read more

Great place. Excellent food. Good prices and love the experience. Service is always good and we enjoy the vibe.

We absolutely love this place! The mushrooms are amazing!!! best place to eat in Maple Valley

Waiter was condescending and dismissive. Asked for steak at least medium well as I hate undercooked steak. I was told the cast iron plate it sets on would continue to cook the steak. When I got it middle of steak was very undercooked like blue in the center. The cast iron I had my steak on was barely warm enough to cook 4 very thin small pieces cut off the very edge of steak. On the other hand husband who likes steak less done had a very hot cast iron plate. When the waiter came back I pointed out to him how raw my steak was and how cool my plate was compared to husbands. He shrugged and kept talking about other things. Never offered to take steak back and cook longer, never brought a hotter cast iron plate. So I quit eating my steak. Unfortunately the fries I had to eat were cold and undercooked and limp. For price of $360 with tip I would NEVER RECOMMEND OR RETURN TO THIS RESTAURANT. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! Going back to Daniel's where they listen and have exceptional food. read more

Not able to accommodate seating at the very start of opening the doors. Claims over booked when hardly any tables are being served

First time dining here, and it was hands down AMAZING!! My wife and I ordered the filet mignon, and it was the BEST steak we have ever had. Our waitress Megan was also so awesome, and all of her recommendations made the dinner all the better. Coolest experience ever, especially when our meals came out on a sizzling stone! We will definitely be back! read more

Really good food. Service was fine, he was training another associate so he always seemed distracted. We were sat in the all window room. Not a lot of ambiance in there but overall the restaurant is lovely. read more

The menu is a bit misleading. Everything is separate and costs but sort of looks like meals. The menu should be displayed as an ala carte list. It would be easier for the server and customers to talk about the same experience and order. That aside, the steak was perfect and sizzling hot! The baked potato was tasty and large enough to share. The hamburger was good, but not quite on par with the steaks. I felt the steak was worth the price despite being pricey. It's definitely worth visiting for a special occasion. read more

The service is excellent! But for the prices charged I was a bit underwhelmed with the food and the ambiance. The restaurant smelled strongly of smoke, which is to be expected a bit at a steak house. The way the food is served is fun a experience and allows one to "cook" the meat to the level they prefer. But the prices seem inflated to match what is tabled. I would recommend going to the restaurant and enjoying some he experience, you will probably come home with leftover steak and a lighter wallet read more

Everything delicious the only thing that is not great is el chorizo of the carne asada, and que queso fundido doesn't have cream cheese in Mexico read more

This is exactly what MV needed! Ambiance is classy. Portions are big and the food delicious. Everything we had was great especially stuffed mashed potatoes with steak bites is extra good. Make sure having a reservation, it's quite popular since they opened. I will be going again. Note: the lady at the entrance is not the friendliest but may be it wasn't her day. read more

First time here for my husband's birthday dinner. We've been wanting to try this place since it opened. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. Margaritas are delicious! I had the watermelon and spicy, both perfect. We also ordered the broccolini, and they were good, but they gave you a lot. If you're coming with four people, you can share the side vegetables. Meat had great flavor and not overly cooked, tender. Happy with our food choice. We will be back! read more

I'm giving 5 stars because the service and food are top notch. I wanted to give 4 because it seems that now a days you can Uber food or call in an order to pick food up. Sometimes you just want to eat at home but Sonora seems not to be doing this. So before you get your hopes up on Ubering or picking up your food, don't. Because it might not happen. Anything you order here is good. Try not to focus on just the steak, start the New Year trying something you've never ordered before. I've tried almost everything and my favorite is the fish tacos and now they have quesabirria tacos. So good!! Lastly, the ambience of this place is relaxing and lively. This is also the sister restaurant of Asadero and La Rioja. I recommend all 3 places. read more

Food is perfection! Service is impeccable! Ambiance is welcoming! Go enjoy Sonora Steak!

The hamburger is delicious, have had it twice now and it doesn't disappoint. I'm not a particular fan of their salmon. The sushi grade does not translate well to hot salmon. read more

This restaurant is so good! I'm so happy there is finally a really good restaurant in the area; everything else is subpar. We had the Queso appetizer, papa josper, fish tacos and steak. Everything was amazing. Our server was so kind and attentive too. I wouldn't suggest taking kids here. We will definitely be back again! read more

This place is a must if you like steak! I had one of the best steaks I have had in awhile here. Will certainly be back. Got a reservation and was promptly seated. The service was nice and friendly. Took awhile to get the food but was worth it! Good drinks! Also started us off with 3 crispy tortillas with cheese and sauce. Go try this place out! read more

This place is amazing, fantastic food and the service was great. Loved the atmosphere and will be back. read more

Food is amazing and is a great experience getting your meat with the hot stone, servers and hosts are very friendly. The appetizer provided is one of the best, also they have the best guacamole. Desserts are also delicious, most times I have to order them to go because I am well satisfied with the food portions. read more

The most amazing service! The top tier food and how do you get better than PRIME cuts of beef? They have figured it out. read more

To start off, our waitress/server was lovely, however here's why I wouldn't go back. The atmosphere in the restaurant is incredibly smokey. If you have a sensitivity to smells or smoke, don't even bother; you will go home smelling like a bonfire. We both went home and had to shower and wash our clothes to get the smoke smell out of our clothes and hair. As for the food, we ordered the bone marrow, patrón tacos, papa loca and Vacio steak. One of the bones that came out has zero marrow in it. They did send us out another bone packed with marrow when we let our waitress know, which was great. The tacos were disappointing in the fact that the meat was very fatty/grisly, overloaded with cheese/salt and had the tiniest slivers of avocado; I didn't eat much of them due to this fact. The steak and papa loca were good. Both were large portions that could easily be shared by two people. However neither was overwhelming delicious or worthy of a return. Overall, I would say the restaurant, while packed and busy, was pretty underwhelming. read more

This choice tonight was kind of last minute but Sonora had popped up on my recommendations. So glad we did. The food was absolutely fantastic (pescado tacos and the double wagyu burger), services was great, and the ambiance was wonderful. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a nice dinner without driving to Bellevue. we will probably order take away from them this coming week as the menu had so many options. read more

Amazing food. Some of the best food I've ever had. Cocktails were on point. I will say the margarita with jalapeño is spicy so watch out. Only thing that was kind of weird was that the restaurant seemed empty but because we C didn't have a reservation we had to sit at the bar. read more

The food was amazing. I do wish that they do offer more walk ins. Reservations are definitely recommended. The atmosphere is nice it's loud in there but that's because they were so busy. We look forward to returning the food was amazing! Our server was great! read more

Upon arrival we had reservations and were greeted and seated immediately. Atmosphere was a bit loud and very dark. We had to use our flashlights on our phones to read the menu. The three corn tortillas with fresh salsa were great. The salsa was tough chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro and more. It is served in a large stone bowl. I had the Vacio Wagyu steak, not familiar with this cut we asked and our waitress didn't know either. I asked for medium rare and it came very rare. They serve it on hot steel that you can slice and continue to cook it. It was very good, well seasoned, tender and juicy. I just preferred for it to come a bit more done. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture. We also ordered the Coliflor Trufada Al Habanero. Roasted cauliflower with a habanero truffle cream. Thus was not hot and barely warm. Waitress said that is how it is served...hmmmm. Not so sure, to me it should have been hot. The sauce was good, not remotely spicy. With habaneros I expected spice. We did enjoy it anyway. My husband had tacos, sorry can't remember much about them just felt expensive for what he got. They were good, nothing special. Overall the food was good, service ok, atmosphere was ok. Price is very expensive. read more

I've never had Japanese style A5 RIBEYE steak. So thinly sliced, delicious , fatty( not too fatty) supremely tasty with the seasoning salt.

Would definitely dine again. read more
