Sonora Taquería San Rafael Reviews
Best mission-style carne asada super burrito I have found in Marin. On par with the best of mission district. Their red spicy salsa is fantastic as well, heavy with roasted pepper flavor. I'm so grateful to have Sonora in the neighborhood.
Tried for the first time after seeing it on my way into Scotty’s market several times. Really good! Great fresh ingredients and no shredded iceberg lettuce !🙌🏼💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌮🌮🌮 will be my new go to Taqueria for sure!
I am now forever in love with this taqueria. The food was completely delicious and very fresh tasting. The service though was off the hook. Me and my kids went to check the menu between pool sessions across the street. They took down our order as I was quizzing the kids on what they wanted and then asked what time we'd be done with swimming. I told them and they said---'we'll have the food ready for you then.' They declined my offer to pre-pay and only charged me when we came back two hours later. From now on any trip to the Terra Linda pool will include a meal there. Customer(s) for life.
Legit Mexican food; the Best in Terra Linda. We love the Salsa and Enchilada sauce, they’re the best in San Rafael, which makes for delicious Mexican food. The dining area is simple, clean, family friendly.
Hands down the best real Mexican food in the area. Always friendly, fast & oh so so good! I also love supporting a local mom & pop place!
Yep. It's as good as its rating. Absolutely perfect taqueria with pre pandemic pricing. Would give 5+ for its great homemade salsas. Lots of great flavors.
Great Mexican food and the BEST salsa in Marin. The restaurant is clean and the service is good. It’s a family owned restaurant and the food always comes out hot.
Good food at reasonable price. I like Mexican food that is simple and this place is that. They don't mess it up by trying to make it fancy or "fuze" it. Kids like it to. I would recommend this place.
Great Mexican food at a fair price. I've been going here for over 13 years and I love it.
I love this restaurant because it's family ran and always exceeds my expectations . great food always and great family. Ten out of ten . I also love there hospitality . Thanks Sonora for always making the best Mex food in terra Linda
Great food and people. My friend said it was the best burrito he has ever had
Great flavors, fresh and amazing salsa. My husband loves the big portions and the self serve drinks!
feels silly only writing this now since I’ve been coming here for so long but I love their burritos :))
Really fresh Mexican food in a fun festive environment. In a town full of decent south of the border cuisine, this place stands out. A+
I absolutely love this place! The owners are very friendly, and extremely accommodating. And the food is excellent!
Personal favorite. Foods good and reasonably priced. Best overall in central Marin.
Its true when they say that they serve the best Salsa in Marin County, or even in the Bay Area. Must try their burritos and tacos, to die for!
Stopped by this place while traveling from Colorado. Delicious!! My husband really loved the place, and he lived in Mexico for a while.
Very fresh, great flavors, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Love this place!
Small restaurant on the main drag. Super steak burrito was divine! Recommend
Mas macho burrito...delicious and super fast service.
Loved the burrito I got here. Generous, delicious horchata. Great service too.

Great little neighborhood Mexican food. My family has been enjoying this families food since its inception many many years ago. Consistently good food.
Wonderful burrito place, our favorite here is the carnitas super burrito which always has a great balance of flavors. Their red and green sauces that they bundle on the side are delicious as well - red can be a bit on the spicy side, green is much more mellow. Highly recommended! Pro-tip: If you are planning on ordering take out, phone ahead. It only takes about 10 minutes for them to make up your order so you can save time waiting around.
Awesome food great service.
I go here often as it is near my work. Very good taqueria, love the food. Super laid back/casual spot. Nothing fancy. I like the al pastor and their red salsa is very unique and delicious. Very affordable, honestly they should probably raise their prices because I think the area would support higher prices and the quality of food would also warrant it.
Great burritos for a reasonable price. The people there are very friendly. Nothing fancy, just the way I like it.
Take out order of tacos was great. Good size, nice taste and salsas also good.
Looks like a hole in the wall but the food was amazing and horchata very delicious
My go-to Mexican food in the area. The pollo asado macho burrito is delicious and an amazing value. The chips are great and the hot sauces are probably my favorite in the entire Bay Area.
Super carne asada burrito is $10 and very delicious. My burrito came with some tortilla chips and red and green salsa. The red was very spicy but the green was perfect for me. The dining room is really big with high ceilings, very spacious. Very friendly staff and my burrito was ready super fast. Excellent excellent excellent! I think I just found my new favorite burrito spot
Sonora Taqueria is consistently excellent. The food is always delicious, portions are generous, and the prices are hard to beat. It’s one of those places where you know exactly what you’re getting, and it never disappoints. They’re efficient, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, even when things are busy. Orders come out quickly without feeling rushed, which makes it an easy go-to whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or takeout. This is hands down my go-to spot in San Rafael whenever I’m craving Mexican food. Reliable, tasty, and great value every single time.
The best Mexican in Terra Linda. The location is small, but the food is amazing. The staff is always friendly and eager to help. Portions are great! Highly recommend.

Nice, family owned, local spot for a good burrito and tacos.
Great place to get tacos when time is of concern. These guys get delicious tacos done fast, and there is a wide variety of options to choose from. Could improve indoor dining though.
great local stop for decent Mexican food - family owned and run. they are consistently good and fast. Nothing fancy but comfortable and tasty.
Food was so good it make me cry 😢 😭 this is the best Mexican I have in a long while only thing the size of the plate was a little small that a personal opinion in I wanted more 😆
Delicious food. Good service. I'll be back!
Ok burrito, surprised I got charged for extra beans when I asked for “no rice extra beans.” Decent but not my favorite.
We order takeout regularly, even though it is a bit of a drive. The enchiladas are so good. Side note: the red salsa they give for chips is spicy and awesome!

Their burritos are very flavourful and a family favourite. The dine-in atmosphere is 2-star but it could be improved relatively easily.
The food was pretty bland overall but it's as good as or better than most Mexican restaurants in Marin. That's not really a compliment, I just literally can't find good Mexican cuisine in Marin.
Food is yummy, service is consistantly terrible. When they ran my credit card and there was no option for tips, I almost didn't leave one...and that is coming from a former server...
Ice is hard Appears good and soft its mot.tayse eam though and crunciolouis

Tried Sonora Taqueria in San Rafael and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype given the high reviews. I had the burrito, which was overly salty and lacked real flavor. The service was underwhelming—slow and not very attentive. My friend felt very unwell afterwards. Overall, not a place I’d return to.

EAT THERE. Do not go home to just find out your order is incorrect. Food is awesome but the oldest son doesn’t seem to listen when I order… often. It’s 8/10 times incorrect. Very disappointing when you’re looking forward to something specific. Other employees are professional and attentive.

First time ordering from this establishment and after found out that half the order was incorrect. We called to advise he said half our order was incorrect and the employee on the phone blamed us for not checking and did nothing to try to resolve the problem & wanted us to pay again for the correct food. Guess this place is doing so well it can lose business over a $20 error and blame the customer. Lastly when we placed the order we asked if they wanted a name and they said no need to. Great way to end the week. NEVER GOING TO SONORA TAQUERIA AGAIN!!
Great food, & didn't cost an arm & leg. LAST TIME I ATE HERE I GOT SICK, I WILL NOT GO BACK !!!!
I used to like this place. The Mexican food is mediocre at best. On par with Taco Bell. But it's close to my house and the prices are OK. Well I won't go back. Tonight when I went for dinner I ordered what I always order. I usually get stuffed. Nice portions. Not tonight. Super small portion on a smaller plate. I had to ask for the complimentary chips and salsa after my food arrived. I like to munch while I wait for my meal. I was never asked if I wanted anything to drink. I was going to have a couple of beers. I didn't order beer. Nothing. Restaurants make most of their profits on beverages. Duh! I'll be trying other restaurants in the area from now on. Small portions, mediocre food and lousy service.
