Delicious food, snobby waiters – The title says it all. The food is very good here and the space is beautiful. Unfortunately the host, waiters, and bussers are all a bit snobby. They don't seem like they enjoy their jobs or working with people. I witnessed several occasions where the waiters and host were rude to each other. Their interactions really affect the mood of the restaraunt.
Good Chicken Enchilladas – I had a pomegranate martini and chicken enchilladas. Both were very good. My boyfriend had the carne asada tacos and a vodka martini. The steak was a little chewy and rare for my taste. I would not reccomend the tacos. A little pricy but i think worth it. Good ambiance and had a nice laid back feel. Good date place. I didn't go into the bar area, but it seemed like a good place to meet a few friends for drinks and catching up because it's not too loud. Valet was about $5 but you could also park on ... read more
Its all about the mussels – Great way to serve mussels - everyone loves them! Baked with salt and chiles they are unusual and somehow concentrate the taste, just leave some for me. I like the game entrees that are healthful and the monday wine deals are a bonus.
Nothing Like El Cholo – Whoever wrote that "insider tip" that a better value alternative is El cholo, is el nutso! If you're deaf, blind and have no taste buds I guess they're interchangeable. It's like saying a lower price alternative to a filet mignon is a Big Mac. This is a sophisticated, beautiful restaurant where it's quiet enough to actually have a conversation. And the food bears no resemblance to the assembly line type food of El Cholo. El Cholo is good for what it is, but it's not fine cuisine like the Sonora Cafe.
Everything was wonderful! – My first visit here was fantastic. The crabcakes had big chunks of tasty crab and not overly fried. The ceviche was delicious. We had the swordfish and Cowboy steak - both were excellent! The flan was one of the best I've tasted - and I've tasted a LOT of flan. Note also that I took a friend here for his birthday. This friend doesn't usually appreciate expensive food, but said the food here was totally worth the price. I spent about $150 on dinner for two (including wine). It wasn't too busy when ... read more
Upscale hacienda serves Southwestern comfort food. – In Short Cavernous, but with enough nooks and crannies to generate a sense of intimacy, this Mexican cafe is done up in traditional Santa Fe style. The bustling bar area is crammed with light nibblers, and the spacious Southwestern dining room is filled with dressed-up couples on dates. The same family that runs El Cholo serves up Texas barbecue pork chops, ahi tuna, black-bean cakes and duck tamales.
Great Food – I love the food at the Sonora Cafe. It's a little pricey, but the food is worth it. I've always had excellent service. Also, on Monday nights they have a wine night where they feature wines for $1 over the cost price. Can't beat that! The only drawback is that the menu is a little limited, so if you go there often, there aren't a lot of choices. Great atmosphere, great food!
wonderful special occasion dining – Just great! A little loud, but its LA. Service is a bit slow and at times servers a bit rude, but its LA. The food and drink more than make up for it. The Cowboy steak, seafood salad and bass are particularly wonderful.
Mucha sabrosa – Came here with some co-workers and had a great southwestern experience. Sonora serves up traditional spanish/mexican foods with a kick. I had the fillet mignon burrito which came w/ creamy guacamole and polenta cakes... $18.95. If you don't see it on the menu, you can ask the manager to prepare it for you. We also had the crab quesadillas.... very delectable. This place is a little out of my budget, but i think i would definitely be back here for a special occasion. Service was fabulous.
