Tucked away at 137 Brevard Court, this restaurant offers more than just food – it’s like a mini getaway with every bite. One of the standout dishes I experienced was the shrimp birria with its perfectly melted cheese pull that’s both indulgent and full of flavor. Pairing it with their pineapple habanero sauce added a delightful kick that balanced sweetness and heat beautifully. Drinks at Sonrisa are another highlight, especially the spicy margarita and frozen Paloma that refreshingly complement the spicy and savory menu items. The vibe on their outdoor patio in the French Quarter area makes for a lively yet relaxed atmosphere, perfect for casual dinners or catching up with friends. Another must-try item is the guava empanadas, which offer a sweet contrast to the more savory dishes, and the taco platter which comes with rice and beans, making it a hearty meal. The menu showcases true Latin American flavors that are both familiar and excitingly new, making it clear why this spot is quickly gaining a loyal following.
