Awesome little restaurant in Sonora. The food is fab. I loved the different salsas. While I was in Sonora I ate there 3 times. I had Chile Rellanos, Nachos, and tacos. They were all outstanding. I can't wait to come back to eat here again.

The food here is authentic Mexican Cuisine. The wonderful Mexican family who own it have opened another one in the east end of Sonora. They make homemade tamales that are so good. I usually order the Burrito Supremeo for lunch with pork and red sauce. YUMMY!!!! That is my absolute favorite and I can never eat the entire thing, it is so big. They also have a great Veggie Burrito. I have tried many things over the many years they have been in the county and have never been disappointed. The one in East Sonora has a huge room for parties. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
5. Cazadora Restaurante
Reviewed By RonO-in-CA
More like 3.5 stars...3 for the food and 4 for the service. The complimentary corn and flour tortilla chips with salsa and bean dip was a nice touch. We enjoyed the Cazadora Quesadilla with chicken, but the Taco Salad was loaded with something a little too sour/tart for my taste (but the grilled shrimp we ordered as a topper was fresh and tasty). Nice clean environment. Small parking lot, but plenty of street parking. Overall a decent option for Mexican in the downtown Sonora area, although just off the sometimes busy main strip.

I've been here several times. Love the food. Had several things. The burrito's are great. Can't go wrong with any of their items. The have a wide variety of items on the menu, from breakfast burritos, to taco truck taco's. The layout could be better, because it gets a little crowded in the front when it gets busy, but other than that, it's great. I highly recommend it.

This place is going down hill, food is good but not great and nothing special. Kinda pricy. My husband ordered pico degallo we got our food to go but charged a $1.00 for a super small container which is absurd. Just want to show you what we paid for pico degalo in Merced. This restaurant is not worth the price but... if you go to the same restaurant in Columbia or Twain Harte itâs a totally different story those restaurants are excellent!! Great food there & service. Avoid the one in Downtown Sonora & go to Columbia or Twain Harte which are excellent. Look at the price on this photo of the huge amount we purchased from a store in Merced then compare that to the size they gave us for a $1.00. I guarantee we wonât be recommending this one to anyone. Disappointing

We've eaten at the El Jardin in San Jaun Bautista, and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We decided to eat at this restaurant in Columbia primarily because we were staying in a B&B nearby, and it was conveniently located. We ate on the patio, which was pleasant and attractively decorated. The server was prompt and friendly. I ordered a fajita taco salad, and requested that they not put any beans in the salad because I don't care for beans. My husband had the chicken mole.The salad was good, but there were some beans underneath the taco shell to hold it in place on the plate. I was full by the time I discovered this, and didn't have room to eat the taco shell anyway. Still, it was a disappointing discovery.My husband said that his chicken was a little dry, with a skimpy amount of mole sauce added to the dish.Bottom-line, the food was average, but the place was conveniently-located so we might eat here again if we find ourselves in Columbia.
