Sonora Fusion — Restaurant in El Centro

I had date night here with my wife for the first time and it was definitely a good idea to try this place out. The restaurant was small but beautiful inside and out and not only was the food delicious but the atmosphere and lighting really made date night feel extra special. Everything has that freshly made on an open flame grill taste which is always by far the best flavor. The lobster is not on the menu and you have to ask for it but it's definitely worth asking for. The shrimp was by far the most delicious I've EVER had. It was grilled with an amazing garlic sauce that had a little heat to it. I could order an entire platter of just that shrimp alone! Drink wise all the mixed drinks were beautiful and delicious, the only drink I didn't care for was the chavella. I can taste that it was made with bloody Mary mix and not an authentic house made mix which turned me off towards that drink but everything else was delicious with the right amount of alcohol. The customer service was amazing, very polite, quick to get you anything you ask for, and very knowledgeable of the meals in English and in Spanish. There were only 2 dessert options that did not seem pleasant so my wife and I ended up going to cold stone afterwards. Although the prices were high I still give them a 5 star because it's like they say, you pay for what you get and it was worth it. Definitely and place for special occasions. I'll most likely come back for my anniversary. All in all we were very pleased with this restaurant and recommended it to anyone trying to find an amazing getaway from the valley but don't want to...

I did not like this.

I ordered a filet mignon, medium rare. What I got was a slab of meat so rare it was practically mooing, with all the visual appeal of something pulled from the freezer and half-heartedly thawed. Zero sear, no crust—just a sad brown shade halfway into the steak, like someone left it near a heat lamp and called it a day. I’m absolutely certain anyone with access to YouTube could cook a steak better after a single 1-minute tutorial and a “can-do” attitude.

The bacon wrap? Firstly, who bacon wraps a piece of filet? Secondly, if you’re going to perform culinary malpractice, at least execute it well! Instead, two limp, barely cooked pieces of bacon flopped around the steak.

Asparagus: I think I actually heard it crunch. It was more like the garnish you’d get with your meal if they let you graze in the...

The place is small but beautifully decorated with a relaxing atmosphere. When you enter there is a collection of aging meats that look pretty great. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. The food… the food was Mid. I started with guacamole and chips. The chips had cheese and beans on them which is fine but you could tell the plate had been microwaved by the way the cheese and beans looked. My main entree were the Tripa tacos for $18. 3 tacos for $18. Do the math. The tortillas were cold and the tripas were dry and chilled. My wife had the shrimp tacos and she really liked them. The margaritas samplers were overwhelming sweet. I had a Chavela that had too much Ice and got watery. Oh the chairs are rock hard as well. I will go back and give it another try and update my review...
