Kristen Byass Names Sonora’s Tacos “The Best in Sydney” — Here’s Why That Matters
When Kristen Byass, one of Sydney’s most respected food writers and tastemakers, dines out, people take notice. Her sharp palate, thoughtful commentary, and honest reviews carry weight — especially in a city like Sydney, where food trends move fast and expectations run high.
So when Kristen recently visited Sonora Potts Point and described our tacos as “the best in Sydney,” we were humbled — and thrilled.
What Makes a Taco “The Best”?
At Sonora Mexican Restaurant & Bar, we’ve always believed that a taco can be more than just a quick bite — it can be a story, a celebration, even an experience. Kristen picked up on that. In her own words, she highlighted the integrity behind what we do: tacos that celebrate ingredients, not just follow a formula.
Here’s what sets our tacos apart:
🌽 House-Made Heirloom Corn Tortillas
We make every tortilla in-house, starting with heirloom Mexican corn. It’s nixtamalized, ground fresh, and pressed daily — a labor of love that brings depth, flavour, and authenticity to every bite. This is the foundation for every dish at Sonora.
🍤 Local Ingredients, Global Inspiration
We don’t replicate street tacos from Mexico City — we reinterpret them. Our fillings are drawn from the best local produce, sustainably sourced seafood, and Australian-native herbs and flowers. Every dish reflects a deep respect for both Mexican culinary traditions and the diverse landscapes of Australia.
🔥 Mexican Techniques with an Australian Lens
From fire-roasted octopus with native saltbush to wild mushroom tacos finished with preserved lemon crema, our approach is bold, creative, and seasonal. This is modern Mexican food reimagined for Sydney — and it’s changing how people think about tacos.
The Kristen Byass Effect
Kristen’s visit was part of her ongoing mission to uncover the best hidden gems and standout plates across Sydney. Her quote — “the best in Sydney” — is a big call, and we’re beyond proud to have earned it. Her writing helps shape public opinion, and for a small, independent restaurant like ours, this kind of recognition means the world.
If you’re new to Sonora or haven’t visited in a while, now’s the perfect time to experience what Kristen is talking about. Book your table here — and let the tacos do the talking.
