" Sonora Cocina Express is a hidden treasure for those seeking real Mexican flavors. Their tacos are delightful, with savory fillings and handmade tortillas. I encountered a slight wait during my visit, but it was worth it for the food that came out! The only downside was that the restaurant was a bit crowded, making the atmosphere a touch noisy. However, the quality of the food made up for it. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I first walked in, I felt a wave of warmth from the decor and the friendly staff. What sold me was the menu, which offered authentic dishes not found elsewhere. I ordered the chile relleno and a burrito. Let me tell you, it was the best I've had in ages! Each bite was full of flavor, clearly made from authentic recipes. My only complaint would be that I left a bit too full; but hey, that's not necessarily a bad thing! Will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited recently and ordered the menudo and pozole; both were incredibly flavorful and felt like a warm hug on a cold day. The service was impeccable—friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself is spotless and welcoming. I truly appreciate the effort put into making every dish authentic and delicious. It's refreshing to find a place that values quality and tradition in its cooking. Definitely going back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sonora Cocina Express is a must-visit if you're looking for real Mexican food in Phoenix. Their menu offers a wide variety, and I've yet to be disappointed in anything I've tried. I especially love their burritos and the fresh guacamole that truly shines with every meal. The only downside is the wait time can get a little extended during busy hours, but in my experience, it’s always worth it. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become a regular spot for my family! We love trying out different dishes each time, and the authenticity shines through every item we’ve ordered. My kids especially adore the quesabirria tacos, as the cheese pulls are out of this world. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, making dining here a pleasure. Plus, the portions are generous—they make sure you won't leave hungry. Highly recommend to anyone nearby! " (*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*)
