The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Year in Los Angeles, 2025 | Eater LA

"Sonoratown is one of Los Angeles’s greatest regional taquerias, and while its specialties are tacos and burritos wrapped in its namesake Sonoran-style flour tortillas, I have fallen madly for the Lorenza, a crispy corn tostada that serves as an olive branch to gluten-sensitive Angelenos, myself included, who want to experience the restaurant. The Lorenza’s blistered corn tortilla provides a sturdy foundation for fillings like fire-kissed poblano peppers with Monterey Jack–laced beans or deftly grilled chicken, all cloaked by a small pile of cabbage, salsa roja, avocado salsa, and sliced radishes. The salsa roja begs to be doubled-down on (always order more), even as your eyes begin to water from its accumulating heat. This is my and one of my colleague’s favorite after-airport meals in Los Angeles, especially when coming back from the East Coast, where tacos of this caliber are still few and far between. — Nicole Fellah, Eater editorial manager" - Matthew Kang
