The Taco That Made My Mum Cry – A Mother’s Day Story from Sonora
They say food is love. But when my mum took the first bite of that taco — the one I created just for her — she didn’t say a word. She just smiled, wiped her eyes, and whispered, “You’ve been paying attention.”
Growing up, I wasn’t the easiest kid to cook for. I’d poke at my beans, rearrange my rice, and outright reject anything green. But every Sunday, without fail, my mum would make tacos — not because I loved them (yet), but because they were her way of keeping a little bit of Mexico on our table.
She made them with love, patience, and that special something only mums seem to have. And over time, I came around. I started to understand what she was doing — not just feeding us, but anchoring us. Holding us together.
Sweet Memories
When I opened Sonora Potts Point, I didn’t just want to serve food. I wanted to tell stories — hers, mine, yours.
This Mother’s Day, we’re doing something special at Sonora. Not flashy. Not overdone. Just deeply personal. A Mother’s Day menu inspired by mums: their strength, their softness, and the flavors they bring into our lives.
