If you have a craving for carne asada and you are in the downtown area, give Sonora Grill a call, make sure they are open. Delicious food! Similar to Ta'carbon on the west side. The reasons I didn't give it 5 stars is there isn't much parking, its located next door to an adult bookstore, the salsas are tasty but mild, nothing with a kick and the portions are on the small side. read more

See all

The tacos were tiny, but so good! The al pastor and asada were my fave. Excellent salsa bar as well.

Tiny hole in the wall taco place with very little seating or parking. Had multiple street tacos, very tasty. The toppings were very fresh and flavorful. My main complaint about this place is their limited menu. You guys needs to add fish or squash, something. My wife is a pescatarian, so she wasn't happy with all the meat options and nothing for her but a bean burrito. read more

Insanely yummy al pastor. Like maybe the best in my whole life. Salsas too. I would eat this every day if I could.

This is a favorite stop on our way to a game downtown for a quick, inexpensive, DELICIOUS meal. Nothing fancy cuz it's all about the food!!

Small taco shop with a very simple menu. Taco, tostadas, and burritos. Flower or corn tortillas and can get a side of borracho beans. Food is good and fast with a excellent salsa bar to load up your tacos that are served just meat and tortilla. Ordered 3 beef and 3 chicken and only got 3 meat 1 chicken. So ok any human can make a mistake, but that's not why the 3 stars. The borracho beans are not borracho. They are refried and slightly watered down. When I asked for a spoon the response was "we don't have any" . Im being sarcastic when I say "sure I like to eat bean soup with a fork". Sounds like they don't keep stock or supply person forgot to order. Lastly every taco I got had bone, or meat gristle and not small pieces it big ones! Big ad So that means they are not very caring of the meat. They just cook it and cut it up instead of fully preparing it. Would I come again maybe but plenty of competing shops to pick from. This place will have to step up their game. read more

Tacos are amazing! Fresh, Fresh, Fresh. Small restaurant and very small menu - but everything on it is great. All tacos are carne asada. They also serve Mexican coke and sprite. Parking lot is rather small, but doesn't seem to pose any issues. Tacos are worth it though! Will definitely be coming back soon! The owner was very friendly and welcoming. read more

I live in south Phoenix. I'm always passing the Sonora taco shop on my way to work and have always been curious as I'm always looking for new tasty taco shop experiences:) Finally went today...SUPER IMPRESSED! I had two carne asada tacos and one carne asada vampiros (tostada with cheese, beans and meat). They have a nice selection of extremely tasty salsas and accoutrements. Everything was fresh and delicious!!! Prices were very reasonable and the staff was very kind. read more

Yes. Just yes. No regrets. So many salsas, amazing carne asada. Simple but great menu.

Great little taco shop, don't let the location keep you away. If you have your windows down you can smell the aroma of grilling meat as you drive by, follow your nose. Prices are reasonable, the menu is simple but has everything you need, including a nice salsa bar. The staff are great and they are putting out a quality product using good cuts of meat. Be sure and try the pork, it is so flavorful. The place is super small but I haven't had a problem finding a spot to sit. read more

There wasn't anything special about this place. I've had better and cheaper tacos elsewhere. Based on the reviews I was really excited, but I guess my expectations were to high. read more

I cant even begin with this place. I moved downtown almost 3 years ago and came across this place and I have never had better tacos in my life. This is hands down my go to for tacos. So worth going to, or driving to if it's not as close to you 10/10. Always consistent and always amazing. read more

The carne asada tacos have THE best flavor. They were so good, we went back for more!! Anytime we're in Phoenix, I will be eating tacos here!!! read more

This little itty bitty hole in the wall taco joint is this sh*t! Couldn't get enough of their tacos. Super addictive! There's plenty of toppings to add if you need them. There's not really much else I can say that hasn't already been said. This place is a winner. Don't let the location or tininess of the restaurant fool ya. I'm so happy we came across this place!!!!! My mouth still waters thinking about it! Must make it back soon...keep up the fantastic work guys. read more

Amazing food, very simple yet tasty! Authentic, consistent, and excellent avocado salsa.

Great food and very cheap. Menu consists of tacos, burritos, tostadas, and cheese quesadillas.

No matter what you get you don't be disappointed. Prices are worth it. The only negative, if any, is the wait time, however, just one cook. The food was worth the wait. So good, I had to make another stop shortly after. read more

Amazing food! Vampiros is tasty goodness. Anytime I'm downtown, this is the spot! Fast, delicious & friendly!

The food here was excellent. However, the lady who took our orders screwed everything up. Plus, their food is slightly overpriced. I'll stick with some other taco shops in town. read more

Can't take a phone order for shit. Don't try ordering take-out or pick-up. You'll either be placed on hold for 30 mins, or you'll get a "busy" tone. read more

I was downtown at children's museum with my white, suburban, Disneyland looking family and wanted to eat real mex food. So I Yelped and went here. We looked pretty funny sitting outside in this rough neighborhood with our tourist sunburns. It was great!!!! read more

It's good. It's fine. In another city it'd be one of the best places for Mexican street food. But in Phoenix, it's strictly middle of the pack. Just a few blocks from the vastly superior Kiss Pollo. I'd suggest going to Kiss, as long as you're content with fantastic chicken and no beef or pork. Or head up to La Santisima or Barrio. Not bad, but not as good as other places that are just as affordable. read more

I've driven past this place many times and finally decided to drop in for some street tacos. So glad I did. These are the best tacos I've ever had. The carne asada is ridiculously delicious. I will be coming back and recommending to my friends and family for sure!!! read more

I didn't think the tacos were that great like everyone raves about. If you think this is the best taco place....you must not go out often. I would have given them a 3 for average but customer service was excellent and the prices are decent. I will not come back. read more

I'm here almost every other day! The food actually taste like real Mexican food and they are always super nice. I always have a caramelo which is a small flour tortilla quesadilla that is packed with delicious tender carne asada! It's seriously worth the trouble of finding a parking spot! read more

Flavorful meats and great salsas. Inexpensive. Everything a taco shop should be.

Came here on a weekday just after lunch rush. My plan was to try everything on the menu. As there are only 3 items on the menu, this was not a stretch. They have carne asada tacos, Vampiros and quesadillas. But, I was surprised to learn that they ran out of vampiros and quesadillas so the only thing I could order was the carne asada taco. Not a huge issue but I was a little surprised by that so I dock them 1 star. I ordered 3 tacos. They were very, very good. I really enjoyed these tacos. Not sure if they raised the bar on carne asada in Phoenix but these were really tasty. Not at all greasy in any way and they had a very beefy flavor. I didn't get full on the 3 tacos I ordered, but at only $1.50 each, I will order more next time. Salsa were good, not great. The salsa bar consists of thinly sliced cabbage, cucumbers, radishes, salsa de aguacate (the thin guacamole used on carne asada tacos), salsa roja and a salsa very similiar to salsa de molcajete. A decent selection. Most selections were near empty when I arrived but since I arrived at the end of the lunch rush, they probably didn't yet have an opportunity to restock. Lastly, the girl working the cash register was very beautiful and very friendly, greeting each customer with a smile. Very enjoyable experience here. I recommend this place highly. read more

This place was awesome!! Quick cook time, awesome pricing, and delicious authentic food!!

Tender, well-seasoned beef + amazing flour tortillas + tasty salsa with a kick = awesome tacos. Simple menu with simple concept but done so well. Cheese crisp was an added bonus. read more

I loved it! The tacos were very good. We went very late and didn't check the time. We came in 5 min before closing and they were very nice and I didn't even notice how late it was. Very good food and awesome service. read more

Being a self proclaimed street taco virtuoso and making it a personal mission to try tacos at a different restaurant every Tuesday for "Taco Tuesday", I must say that this place has been the best that Phoenix has to offer so far. The menu is limited, but I honestly wouldn't change it because everything on it is delicious. The service was also fantastic, the owner himself did all the cooking and serving and was very personable. The location could be improved, but the sense of danger adds to the "Taco Tuesday" experience. Only thing I would say is that the dining area needed to be cleaned a little and you guys definitely need a website so more people can find your place and eat delicious tacos. read more

Sonora Taco Shop is fantastic! The tacos are simple and delicious! They have some of the best tacos in the valley. I would highly recommend this place! read more
