Mesquite-grilled carne asada tacos & burritos on handmade tortillas
"Angelenos get really worked up about tacos. But we’ve never met anyone who doesn’t have a soft spot for Sonoratown, a Northern Mexican-style taqueria with two locations in LA. What sets this counter-service operation apart is their housemade flour tortillas—they’re chewy, tender, and quite literally melt in your mouth. We usually order the carmelo taco, loaded with smoky mesquite-grilled asada, pinto beans, and chiltepin salsa. But we also love their perfectly sized chivichangas—mini burritos filled with braised meat, roasted chile peppers, and lots of molten cheese—rolled up in those stunning flour tortillas and browned on a grill until glorious char marks show." - brant cox, nikko duren, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
"“During the pandemic, Sonoratown was our go-to order-in spot. It’s just completely satisfying and super delicious every time. I get the chivichanga tray. And those flour tortillas are the best ever. You could put my shoe in one of those tortillas, and I’d be happy. What more could you want?”" - sylvio martins
"Sonoratown’s Mid-City location always had one major brag over the original: a much better parking situation. Now it's added a dedicated michelada and nacho bar in the same space, too. Pair your asada-topped nachos with a cold miche with Tajín and housemade chamoy on the rim, or go with the selection of hard seltzers or white sangria if you want something lighter after downing a full chivichanga." - sylvio martins
"Jennifer Feltham and Teodoro Diaz-Rodriguez Jr. have just opened a michelada bar and tortillería at Sonoratown’s Mid-Wilshire location: the tortillería, hidden behind the cantina, is already cranking out plush flour tortillas for stores in Downtown and Mid-Wilshire (and soon Long Beach), while the bar serves sangrias, micheladas, and snacks like nachos and elotes." - Cathy Chaplin
"Nothing says “party” like by-the-pound ordering. This mid-city favorite known for its handmade flour tortillas sells multiple party packages on its takeaway menu — including one-pound and two-pound family meals filled with meats, flour tortillas, and toppings for a make-your-own northern Mexico-style taco bar. The vegana package is also great for parties, substituting meat for roasted poblano and adding guacamole and pinto beans to the mix. One of each, and you’ve got a fun menu that will make everyone happy." - Robert Spuhler
