About this restaurant

  • Healthy
  • Neighborhood gem
Sonora NYC is best described as a "Taste of Mexico in the Heart of Bedford Stuyvesant". We wanted to introduce to the community upscale Mexican cuisine that isn't your typical tacos and burritos.

Some of our signature dishes include the Tlacoyos & Salmon, Mar &Tierra, and Ceviche Mixto.

We offer a Boozy Bottomless Brunch on Saturdays & Sundays and a weekday happy hour until 7pm!

Looking forward to serving you!

    Our 1st day in Brooklyn and we wanted to chow down for the evening. Sonora sounded good and was close-ish to our apartment so we booked for 8.30 no problem. But when we arrived there was no table and a very busy restaurant. To the bar for 30 mins. After 9 and still no sign of a table I suggested to the manager (?) that they find us one or we take away. Thankfully an outside table was secured and our food order taken. Our mains arrived but after we finished the restaurant completely forgot about us. After waiting about 20 mins I decided to get up and ask for the bill/check. No-one cleared our plates. No-one bothered to ask us if we wanted coffee or dessert. We were just left to our own devices after the mains. We could see plenty of waiting staff chattering away to other staff and customers and hanging around but no-one approached us so we cleared off. What should have been an enjoyable evening out for 3 very jet-lagged people became unnecessarily angst-y and a master class in poor customer service. I sincerely hope Sonora treat non-locals better than my party of 3 on Saturday night. Based on our experience last weekend the jury is well and truly out.

    Great restaurant. The music was a little loud, but I liked the ambience. The food was good, and the portion size was perfect. However, my meal was in dire need of some salt. I'd definitely give this place another try, though.
