We had the migas plate and of course chicharon taquitos.... best tasting food we have had in a long time!
We know Sonnys has some of the best barbacoa in the STX, but today, they got it really right, just perfect!! Amazing, best barbacoa and chicharonnes I have EVER had. It was on point, and had out of town guest and newbie tenants too, so I was a very happy host today. Thanks to everyone at Sonnys Barbacoa!!! Keep it up guys.
We also ordered menudo and tortillas and their awesome sauce lol, no pun intended. Everything was excellent. 5 stars!!
Wow!!
This place we visited pre pandemic. It was bustling with what we believed valued, satisfied patrons. The food was really good.
My wife and I revisited last week and were a bit saddened that the dining area was tapered down a bit, with only a few tables.
That was before we had our breakfast plates served. Man!!
I had the breakfast omelet and a the attached image shows, I completely forgot about taking pictures. It was just like the way I make them at home! Not bragging, just saying....
A Corpus staple for traditional Mexican Breakfast items grandma would make. Tacos are hot, fresh, and well portioned. Try the number 1 special and don’t be disappointed. Beware the Fireball; muy pícoso!
The homemade corn tortillas are a must!!! They offer the option of regular corn or homemade. Regular corn tortillas will never taste the same. The barbacoa was delicious. While it is not west Philly barbacoa as in made with goat or lamb leg it is pretty good. The chicharones were great as well as the homemade flour tortilla picadillo taco. The menudo had great flavor. It was more on the softer end for the texture but it was almost closing time. I’m sure the meat for the menudo is better when it’s earlier. The service was top notch as it was friendly, helpful, and quick.
I very rarely give 5 stars to any restaurant. In my humble opinion, they have to hit everything just right, which, let's be honest, very few ever do. But Sonny's, MAN, this place hit it all just right. Upon entering this place, I was greeted by both the man taking orders outside for drive thru, and then as well as the lady inside. Very nice people. Next, I ordered 2 tacos to go, one barbacoa, and one bean and cheese. Guess what, paid UNDER $4 for both tacos. WHAT...?!? Mind blown. In this economy, (bear in mind I bought two bean and cheese tacos from some taqueria yesterday's and paid almost $7), those prices are crazy!! Awesome pricing. The tacos came out within 2 mins. Super fast. Flour tortillas were so delicious. Barbacoa was just right. Perfect. Not dry, not super greasy. I come work in CC once a month. I will DEFINITELY be coming to Sonny's Everytime. If you haven't tried his place out, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it. Sonny's, GREAT JOB!
This was an interesting experience. Very tender, bland beef that really needed sauce. Not going back again for that. But. Perhaps the best sausage and refried beans I have ever eaten, added to some very good rice. Apparently those were the only main dishes available, at least on the Wednesday when I stopped in. The portions were, for me at least, too big for one meal, but too small for two so the next day I made leftoverroni. See the photo. The leftover refried beans worked well as a gravy substitute. As others noted, the drive through is less than optimal and because of it, there is a significant wait time. They also appeared to have separate cash and card prices.
So being from corpus all my life, i had never tried this please. Then the "pandemic" happened ,so they weren't allowing people to eat inside. With all that said, today i finally got my chance to try it out, and wow way better then i was told from the service to the food. They also let me try samples to make sure i was going to like before i ordered. This place is a must try and definitely on my A+ list.
Best Barbacoa in town! Fast, fresh, live the employees! They have good carnitas and chicharrones too. They are our go to Sunday breakfast
These guys are amazing.... My very favorite is their chicharrones with corn tortilla and advacado.. my second choice, everything else...
This place was amazing. It does not look like much, but the food was wonderful, the staff was super friendly, and it was clean. I had barbarcoa tacos. They were some of the best I’ve ever had. The tortillas were perfect. I’m not sure what they do with the beans, but wow!
Stop by for lunch sometime.
Food is always delicious, service is as fast as they can. Usually busy, but food quality is always great. Parking sucks but worth the wait
