Welcome to Sonora Mexican Kitchen & Bar, a vibrant treasure located at 1414 Nicollet Ave in Minneapolis, MN. Here, the spirit of traditional Mexican cuisine shines through an exciting menu that features mouthwatering tacos, refreshing seafood, and expertly crafted cocktails. Whether you're stopping by for dinner or looking for a casual lunch spot, Sonora offers a laid-back atmosphere perfect for gatherings with friends and family.
What sets Sonora apart is its commitment to flavor and variety. On any given visit, I find myself delighting in their diverse selection of dishes. Start off with the Esquites corn, a rich combination of butter, lime, and cotija cheese that perfectly balances sweetness and zest. The Nachos, generously topped with cheese dip, pico de gallo, and optional protein, are a crowd-pleaser, especially when paired with their addictive Queso Dip for a savory, cheesy experience.
Moving on to the tacos, each one showcases a unique personality: the Pork Pastor Taco, marinated and served with refreshing pineapple salsa, is a standout. If you're a fan of seafood, don't miss the Baja Fish Taco, where beer-battered mahi mahi meets a crunch of cabbage and a bright baja aioli. The Mushroom Taco caters to plant-based diners, bursting with flavor thanks to its roasted mushrooms and black beans.
For those seeking lighter fare, the ceviche and aguachile dishes are a must-try. The Ceviche features mahi-mahi tossed with vibrant tomato salsa and cucumber, all perfectly seasoned with lime and cilantro to create a refreshing bite that sings of the ocean. The Aguachile elevates the experience with its bold shrimp, combined with jalapeños and a touch of tamarind salsa—a real testament to the chef's creativity.
