Sonoritas Prime Tacos, nestled in the vibrant Sawtelle district, offers a stylish twist on Northern Mexican cuisine with standout carne asada tacos and their showstopper surf and turf burrito, all wrapped in freshly made tortillas and complemented by colorful decor.
"Sonoritas is a casual Northern Mexican spot in Sawtelle with chewy, mega-sized flour tortillas, but the real draw is what they roll into them. Their excellent burritos are stuffed with fancy fresh-off-the-grill fillings like spicy shrimp, charred salmon, even filet mignon. The rice and stewed beans packed in between the chopped proteins are warm and flavorful, and we like ours with a big glob of creamy guac inside. And if you don’t want to commit to a giant burrito, you can taste the same delicious tortillas as smaller Sonoran-style tacos filled with smoky beef rib and premium beef cuts like lengua." - sylvio martins, jess basser sanders, brant cox, arden shore
"Sonoritas is a casual Northern Mexican spot that serves some of the best flour tortillas in town, but the real draw is what they do with them. Not every taco on the menu is created equal, but the Sonoran-style asada is the best, whether it’s their smoky beef rib or premium beef cuts like lengua. And if you show up during the lunch rush, you’ll see people eating mega-sized versions of those chewy tortillas wrapped as burritos, with protein options your local Chipotle could never pull off: spicy shrimp, grilled salmon, and even filet mignon.

"Sawtelle is not the first place one thinks of for great tacos. Mostly the block has incredible Asian food, from Filipino and Japanese to Korean and Chinese. But Sonoritas prepares some of the best carne asada using actual steak cuts, something one would see in Mexicali and other places in Sonora. So yes, when someone is looking for great carne asada, this is the first place to look. Try the surf-and-turf burrito for one of the best burritos in town. Sonoritas also has a location across from Crypto.com Arena for an ideal pre-game meal." - Eater Staff
"The surf and turf burrito here is a thing of near-perfect beauty, a mix of spicy shrimp and steak that is more than the sum of its parts. Add in hefty portions of guacamole, cheese, chipotle mayo, and rice and beans, and this is a beast that may well be the best overall burrito in the city." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
"Sonoritas prepares some of the city’s best carne asada tacos using prime steak cuts and served on handmade corn or imported flour tortillas. Additionally, the surf and turf burrito — a mix of spicy shrimp and steak with guacamole, cheese, chipotle mayo, and rice and beans — may well be the city’s best." - Matthew Kang, Mona Holmes
