Northwest Mexico

Mexican restaurants in Northwest Mexico

  1. Los Encarbonadas

    This excellent asadero bar serves up Sonora's specialty, carne asada, alongside a mouth-watering salsa and condiment cart that flows between tables. The 'order' serves two easy and the frijoles might just be Mexico's best. Highly recommended.

    Restaurant Verónica

    The must-try dish at this popular spot for steaks and chicken is el norteño, a cheesy, beefy mess served in a cast-iron skillet that you eat with tortillas. This joint also serves a downright feisty salsa.

    La Roca

    Upscale La Roca serves a diverse menu of Sonoran and regional Mexican dishes in a low-light romantic setting under colonial archways – a world apart from the Nogales hurly-burly.

    Café Ajijic

    Serves an extensive Mexican menu to day-tripping gringos on a colorful outdoor patio with a lovely fountain. Ignore the constant barrage of hawkers and mariachi.

    Asadero Mi Casita

    It’s popular for the house specialty, papa asada: grilled beef, loads of gooey cheese, potatoes and butter that you wrap up in tortillas. Legendary!
