If you’re in Surry Hills or anywhere near Oxford Street, you’re only minutes away from one of Sydney’s best modern Mexican restaurants
—Sonora in Potts Point. Whether you’re kicking off a night out, hunting for proper tacos, or chasing the best margaritas in the city—this is where the real flavour starts.
Why You’d Cross the Border (From Surry Hills)
🍹 Next-Level Margaritas
Let’s just say it straight: we take margaritas seriously. None of that bottled mix. No fake sour. Just good tequila (or mezcal), real lime, clean agave, and a few house twists. Chilli, coconut, mango, smoky mezcal—we shake it fresh, every time.
🌮 Tacos Done Right
We hand-press our tortillas. We slow-braise our fillings. We ferment our hot sauce. This is the kind of food made by chefs who give a damn. Nothing is phoned in, nothing comes from a sachet, and you’ll taste the difference in every bite.
🌱 Garden-to-Table, Mexican with an Aussie Soul
Sonora isn’t “traditional” Mexican—it’s creative, seasonal, and sustainable. We grow what we can right here in Potts Point, we use native Aussie produce, and we don’t follow rules that don’t make sense. It’s flavour-forward food, built to share, and hard to forget.
🍳 Bottomless That Actually Means Something
Our Bottomless Brunch and Bottomless Nights are a full food-and-drinks experience. You get a full set menu, premium drinks, and none of that sugary, watered-down nonsense. It’s the ultimate pre-party—whether you’re headed to Oxford Street, or just want to kick off the weekend right.
🎉 The Vibe? Always On
Sonora’s warm, loud (in a good way), and packed with people who love good food and better drinks. Whether it’s a group hang, a date, or a pre-dancefloor meetup, the room always brings energy.
