Louchan, King Tut, Pap the Greek Wizard, and I went and checked out the new Mexican restaurant in U-Village, Sonrisa. Created by the owners of the Ram, Sonrisa is a refreshing, "new-age" remix to your typical, traditional Mexican.
At first glance I was pretty impressed with the place. It had a nice bar, a bunch of LCDs hanging up playing nothing but sports, and great design in how everything was set up inside. We choose to sit outside on the patio as it was a nice 70 degree Spring evening in Seattle.
When the waitress brought some chips and salsa out for us, I started to have second thoughts about the place as the salsa looked and tasted more like a sweet & sour sauce. Upon opening the menu, I started to question the place even more as the prices were more expensive than what you would expect at a Mexican restaurant (at the same time not too surprising with the steady rise in food costs). I opted for the carne asada tacos, playing it safe vs. ordering one of the many exotic sounding dishes.
When our food came out, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the carne asada tacos dish was a large plate of 8 tacos stuffed with steak, cheese, grilled onions and peppers, and cilantro. The dish was accompanied by black beans & steak, Mexican rice, and fresh salsa and guacamole. Seeing all this, I thought that the price was now a bargain!
The food was not amazing, but notably good and worth going to Sonrisa again. They use good ingredients, provide a good atmosphere, and offer a lot of your Mex faves overhauled with a fresh twist.
All that said, go try Sonrisa!
