Sonora Cafe and Kitchen in Brent

If you don’t eat here you are NOT LIVING everything is amazing from the tacos to the wings and even the best churros I have ever had !

Fabulous food at really low prices. A real find and a great atmosphere. Friendly and courteous staff.

We visited here over the weekend as we were hungry after watching a movie in the Cineworld near by. What a mistake that was! I haven't been to a Las Iguanas in years but I do remember when they first arrived on the scene, they were pretty good and authentic. What we had on Saturday was far from that. The Good: Service and staff The drinks (was 2 for 1) The bad: The food, the only thing that was tasty was the cauliflower bites. Everything else was completely bland and clearly made with cheap ingredients. Crispy calamari tasted of nothing (couldn't finish it) Brazilian curry with scotch bonnet tasted like a Tesco microwave meal, we were so shocked at the quality (the only authentic thing on the plate was the plantain) The chicken skewers were of the same quality The chicken burger was just ok. For 5 of us it came up to £225, it wasn't even worth £50 in our opinion. Will never go here again, what a shame that they've gone downhill from what they use to be. I can only image that the chain was bought out at some point throughout the years.

Update: Good to see location appears to have been shut down by Public Health. A Big mistake ordering from here. In October 2023, I ordered food as takeaway from here and fell violently ill within 1 hour of eating the food. Ended up being the worst food poisoning of my life for 2 weeks. I had to undergo treatment by antibiotics to kill off the bacteria. Public Health England investigators were in contact with me after my gp test results came back with such virulent strains found in my body, which caused the sickness. I still have the letter from the health department and the takeaway order details on just eats from 19/10/2023. Reconsider ordering from here - sadly they clearly are not concerned about health standards in their kitchen. They would likely have had multiple customers fall ill on the same day as me in October last year, and been contacted/ inspected by Public Health also. I still have ongoing health impacts 11 months later from this incident.

Very good service and happy to take the double expresso coffee ☕.
