Came here again yesterday to bring my aunt (who is from same town as owner) and the food was good per usual. The place was emptier than I expected. The cashier was had great customer service. When we got out food I asked server if I could get a chiltepin salsa which is their spicy salsa, she responded that it would be 50 cents and I said ok that's fine and she walked away. So I was waiting to see if she ever returned and awhile after I asked her if I needed to make line and order the salsa or if she could just bring it and she said yes I needed to order since cashier was needed to pay. Wish that would've been communicated so I wouldn't have been waiting. I finally got my salsa and I asked if it came with the tacos and she said no only the burritos, so if I ordered 3 tacos that didn't have this salsa, I kinda don't get why I can't get this spicy salsa without it being xtra? Doesn't make sense to me, doesn't every other taco place give a spicy salsa when asked if it's not extra? Anyway, I can't eat my tacos without having any restaurants version of their spicy salsa. Like I said food is great but since I'm a spicy lover the whole ordeal with trying to get a serving of their chiltepin salsa didn't sit right with me. Update*** Received a msg from the owner who explained to me why the chiltepin salsa isn't included in the tacos etc and it makes sense. I appreciate the communication from them and hopefully others can get an explanation from staff. By the way if you haven't tried the chiltepin salsa you need to try it! It's amazing if you like spicy. Overall this continues to be my go-to place for Sonora style tacos (which are hard to find) without having to cross the border. Much love y arriba San Luis Rio Colorado Sonora. read more

I'm beyond happy Sonoratown is open in DTLB! I tried their chivichanga in both beef and chicken and omg it blew my mind. An explosive burst of flavor and adding the red and green salsa makes it even better! While both are excellent, I favored the chicken slightly more. Can't wait to go back to try other items on the menu! read more

I'd been hearing the buzz about this place since they opened - finally got around to trying it a few weeks ago. There was a *bit* of a line when I was there (2 PM on a Friday), but it moves pretty quickly, so there wasn't a long wait. (Might not have been a *table*, but I was taking it home anyway.) I tried their "caramelo" (basically just an extra-large taco) and a $4 bean and cheese burrito, also 50 cents for their extra-spicy chiltepin salsa. Verdict on it: I *do* understand why people say their tortillas are particularly good, and I absolutely could see coming back occasionally just to buy a bag of tortillas for home use. The caramelo was enjoyable, but not *that* large for $8.50 - the bean and cheese burrito was definitely worth $4, though, so I could see just popping in for a snack if I was walking by and they weren't busy. (Well, $4.50, after you factor in that I would definitely be dipping it in the chiltepin salsa again, too.) But if you're here from some "best of" list and you're expecting to be absolutely astounded by how good this place is compared to everywhere else you've been to... you might be a little disappointed? It's quite good, but Long Beach has a lot of great Mexican places, not to mention, these days, tacos from great street vendors every few blocks it seems, so I wouldn't necessarily go out of my *way* to come here, if I didn't happen to live nearby (other than I suppose potentially for a bag of just their tortillas, if I was going to make a lot of Mexican food at home.) It is solid, though. read more

First time coming here for a date night with my husband. We ordered the quesadilla with cabeza, tacos with tripa, chivichanga chicken and beans & cheese. Fully recommended. The pineapple drink was good, not too sweet. The staff was nice and parking can be tricky. There is a parking structure across, the first 2 hours are free. read more

Sonoratown - Chivichanga - Tacos Near Me - Long Beach, California

What a neat addition to downtown! The staff is always polite, the prices are very reasonable and the food is the bomb. I always ask for the salsas on the side since they are hoooot so I can calibrate the spice level. Been here a dozen times already !! read more

Wanted something yummy on a cold day and stumbled across this place. It's a small restaurant with a cute vibe. My husband and I had the burrito with carne asada and the chips and guacamole. All were good, especially for the price which was more than reasonable. The burritos were a little spicy, but I am a spice wuss so take that with a grain of salt. read more

I love that there is now a Sonoratown closer to me so I don't have to drive all the way to downtown LA... but I'll miss the days of taco runs! The restaurant is located on the bustling street of 3rd street where there is a lot of life and other eateries. Environment - there are tables located inside and outside for your dining pleasure. This location is almost three times bigger than their first one. The line definitely looks long once you walk in but you get to user fairly quickly. Better know what you want to eat! There are also bathrooms in the back :) Service - good! Food - my fave is always the good old tacos! The tortilla skin is out of this world and super thin and delicious. Gone are the days where you get two corn tortillas from a street taco vendor and you failed at peeling off the second tortilla because it's taking away the flavor of the taco lol my husband loves the chivichanga - basically a fresh and never frozen chimichanga. It's really good and he ate two at once... fatty haha the best meats to go inside would be the shredded ones. But when eating a taco, I always opt for the clean taste of a Costillo :) Can't wait to come back. Parking sucks a bit but there are parking structures with free parking for the first two hours. Yay! read more

Chicken chivichanga & a costilla taco + a large tomatillo salsa (for the week's eggs) That's my weekly order! I LOVE this place and it's easily my fave casual Mexican spot in LB. The food is tasty and the staff is friendly. read more

Decent tacos in downtown Long Beach, but it's not as good as their original downtown LA store. There is free parking for 90 minutes across the street at the Citi parking lot. Beware that their red salsa it's actually spicy. Service is friendly and we went during off peak time, so there was no wait. read more

So happy Long Beach has a Sonoratown now! I'd usually drive up to downtown LA for my fix. And now have one that's closer to home. It's still a gem here cause not many people know that it's here. It wasn't crowded at all. I ordered my usual beef chivichanga which is one of the best things ever. The flour tortilla here is unmatched. And the juicy shredded beef is done so right. I also got the steak quesadilla. Which was really good as well. They give you green and red salsas to go with your food. This place is definitely one of my favorite Mexican spots of all time. And now I'll get to enjoy it even more Recommendation: beef chivichanga read more

Overrated. I had a chicken and steak taco. The tacos tasted fresh but it was bland. There was no seasoning on the meat. The horchata is nasty. It actually gives a coconut taste. The customer service was cool. For $3.50 per taco I do not think I will be back. It didn't scream try again to me. read more

An easy five stars. The tacos were amazing. The quesadilla with grilled steak was fantastic. Tiny order of chips and salsa, but the overall price was reasonable given I was feeding two people. Horchata was very tasty. Service was fast and very friendly. Dining room was clean and bright. read more

Friendly and quick service with a lovely outdoor seating area, great to have some frozen margaritas in the heat. Standout flavors and solid portions very affordable. Love the whole charred green onion that was such a great addition to every bite read more

Holy c*rp this place is good!! Very Sonora style with flour tortillas and cabbage on the dishes. We had caramelos and tacos and then ordered more tacos. And then ordered more tacos. I spoke of canceling our family dinner to instead come here. Be aware that the salsa is genuinely spicy. One of the many benefits of how good these guys are. Also the frozen margs are worth trying and they have an excellent fridge of real Mexican beers. It's not often enough that a place will have negra modelos. Music was solid too. Just kind of perfect front to back. read more

Amazing food! The horchata is my favorite There's a coconut flavor to it I'm obsessed with read more

I love this place. I used to go to the one in downtown Los Angeles all the time when I found out, they opened one in downtown Long Beach. This became my new favorite one to go to because it's local sometimes me and my daughter walk here we love a side of tacos and the fresh Aqua Frisco's.. customer service is always great. Definitely recommend trying everything taste very fresh. read more

Holy deliciousness this place was amazing. Service was incredible, clearing our plates, wiping off our table, warm greeting at the door. The food was so good. The salsas were flavorable with great heat. Went back for another round of food because it was so good. Got tacos, quesadilla, elote, chips & bean/cheese burrito. Left full and happy. Only feedback is for a changing table in at least one of the restrooms...there is plenty of wall space and would have been helpful. read more

This is the best sit down Mexican food in Long Beach, bar none. The service is super friendly and the place is clean. The food is incredible and the ability to get large pickups for parties is excellent. We've done that a few times and it's always been great. It's a real treat to have Sonoratown in the neighborhood! read more

Sonoratown suggested by Pedal Movement I once reviewed. Well, I was pretty impressed with food. Size was right and it was very very good. So, at around 2p the place is busy. Line was slow but staff did work overtime. Menu simple, pictures available for clarity and transparency. I had Burrito and chips and guacamole thinking, burrito may not be enough. Ah, but it was. Asked for steak inside. Lady asked me if I want an onion on a side. I said yes. That's the Mexican onion, more elongated than a bulb. Al around, great place. read more

The burritos were better than I expected. The filling ratios were great. The asada was good and tender. Both the red and green salsas were excellent. The parking structure across the street was free for the first two hours. read more

Had the bean burrito and a cabeza taco and both were pretty great, with the burrito probably being the highlight. A superior flour tortilla and some great beans are just a classic combo for a reason. Probably should have gotten two. read more

Maybe I got the wrong thing but I got the burrito costilla, meat ratio was off I think it had 4 pieces of meat lol, plus it was real salty, also no diet beverages. Red salsa was good tho and the customer service was on point, burrito 2.0 and a bottle squirt was $18. read more

would be five stars if the quality hadn't gone down in such a short amount of time! first two times I got a cabeza burrito the meat was SUPERB. the 3-4 times since then the meat has gotten fattier and tougher to eat.

Sonoratown is a welcome addition to Downtown Long Beach. Sadly, tonight my Cabeza Burrito was basically inedible. Instead of succulent braised beef there were large hunks of fat. Not fatty meat, just straight up inedible fat pieces. The Cabeza is my go-to item that I crave, so it was disappointing. It was also my Father's Day treat so it stung a little deeper. Sonoratown generally rocks, but there is some inconsistency it seems and the burritos aren't cheap. This one hurt a bit. read more

Tacos are good. They appear small but they are filling. Service is good too. You can park free for 2 hours in a nearby structure.

So happy this is down here! Everything we tried was really delicious, including the horchata (which does taste very coconutty to me...). Our food came out very quickly and I'm happy to see they added some outdoor seating, so it is dog-friendly. It is downtown though, so with that comes limited street parking (there's a free parking structure nearby) and well, downtown smells. read more

Heard good things about this taco place and excited they opened a location in LB. Parking was easy as there was a parking structure across the street that offered 2 hours of free parking. I went on a weekday during lunch and it was busy. I ordered three tacos- chicken, steak, and chorizo. They were all good, especially enjoyed the red and green salsa they added on each taco. I do warn it's pretty spicy though. The tortilla was fresh and handmade and you can really taste the difference. Overall, a great place to get Mexican food and can't wait to come back! read more
