Loved it. Great food. Way better than typical bar food. Each tapas plate was gourmet. Excellent service. You didn’t feel like you were waiting for anything. Live music too. Small place so can be a little crowded but once you are seated it’s cozy and perfect. Fun for a date or with friends.

About the restaurant

Since Rafael Palomino—Sonora’s Executive Chef and Proprietor—opened the doors to this, his flagship Latin-fusion restaurant, he has received accolades from a broad customer base, including an “Excellent” from the New York Times.

Sonora, like Palomino’s other restaurants, boasts excellent service and mouth-watering dishes, paired with an extensive wine list and cocktail offerings.

We were attending a show at the Paramount so we stopped here to get dinner first. Unfortunately they had a minimal menu that night because of an issue in the kitchen. However, we were able to get a Margherita pizza which was good. Our waitress was great and very apologetic for the inconvenience. It was also nice to be able to get a discount because we were going to the Paramount.
