" I line up every Taco Tuesday for their amazing deals! The buy two, get one is fantastic. The tacos are big, fresh, and bursting with flavor. I usually try to sample as many different types as I can, and each one has its unique flair. The hot sauce is spicy but adds such a great kick. The staff here always greets me with a smile, which truly enhances my dining experience. It's such a treat to have this local gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" A pleasant surprise! I wasn't expecting this little place to be so fantastic. The high-quality ingredients really shine through in each plate, leaving me impressed each time I dine here. The authenticity resonates with the food, just like I've had in Mexico. My only suggestion is that they could spruce up the décor a bit—it’s charming but could use a little flair. Nonetheless, the flavors more than make up for it! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stress enough how much I love this place! The food is packed with flavor and feels so authentic. I've tried their tacos al pastor and it's hands down the best in town. On a recent visit, the owner took the time to chat with us, letting us know about their family recipes. It's the little details and personal touches that make the dining experience charming and inviting. A true gem of a restaurant, and I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have always been on the hunt for a genuine Mexican place since moving to Phoenix, and Sonora Cocina Express truly fits the bill! The taco options are endless, and each has its unique twist. I left feeling full and satisfied after my meal. The only thing that could make it better is if they had a larger beverage selection, but that doesn't deter from the overall experience. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience here. The food was generally good—definitely authentic—but I encountered a long wait for my order despite it not being busy. When the food arrived, it was delicious, but the service left something to be desired. I am willing to give it another shot because the flavors truly resonate with traditional Mexican cuisine. I believe that with some adjustments to the service, this could be a perfect experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" The quesabirria tacos here are a must-try! I loved the combination of cheese and meat with a side of consomé. It made for a delicious meal! The atmosphere is small but welcoming. My only complaint is that the service could be more attentive; it felt a bit rushed at times. Despite that, I really enjoyed my meal and I'm definitely planning a return visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I first visited Sonora Cocina Express about a month ago and I can’t stop going back! The tacos de asada taste just like they do back home. And the homemade sauces are a standout—the red is my favorite! Just make sure to arrive early or prepare for a bit of a wait during lunch rushes. But I promise, it’s worth every minute! It truly fulfills my craving for real Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
