Nostalgic vibes are in full effect here for me personally. I grew up eating tacos with flour tortillas believe it or not and it was just that simple thing that made this foodie experience a delicious one. We ordered the Asada and Chorizo tacos that came with a side of guacamole sauce and sliced radishes. Let me tell you, that sauce was banging and topped with radish? It gave it a nice crunchy texture that made this taco a banger. Oh snap, ok I forgot to mention the cabbage too! Combine all those components and you get a banging taco. Since it was my first time I got everything on the side and I hooked it up the way we wanted it. Now I know the next time I order these hand held morsels I'll just get them with everything. The place is small and has limited seating but it moves quickly as people eat and run. The service was good and the vibe is festive. And that's my take on it, Peace
Many visits to this location under my belt and I've never been disappointed. I've also brought loved ones here from out of town and they always enjoy the food, appreciate the service, simplicity of the menu, and the fast casual experience. Staff try to keep the place clean and are always efficient and fast. I'm glad Long Beach has a location now!
Quality Tacos with Delicious Flavors! They make their own tortillas in house which gives them high credibility and they use quality ingredients. Food -Carne asada tacos are DELICIOUS. 5/5 carne asada is tender and cut to the perfect size. Tortillas are handmade. You can't ask for more, it's exactly what a tacos should be. Ambiance -proper Mexican food establishment vibes. It's well decorated inside and they play Mexican music for the vibes Service - no issues Overall if you like tacos or are craving them this, is a great place to check out! It's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
After hearing there was a Sonoratown in Long Beach, I had to visit! It's casual dining with quality taste! We ordered with the cashier. I got the burrito de asada and added the poblano. Best choice! I highly recommend! The tortilla was soft and buttery! The Manteca was worth it. Cheese was perfectly melted and everything came together perfectly. Food came out pretty quickly. They also have different sized bags of chips to choose from. We had some with the chiltepín salsa, it was firey hot and yummy! A must try for unassuming Mexican food.
First time here. My coworkers wanted to eat here for lunch and they are always talking about it. The food was great! I had 2 tripa tacos , 1 asada, and 1 cabeza. To drink an horchata. Service was quick , the servers are all friendly. Small spot but has plenty of seating. I really enjoyed my food. Definitely coming back. One of my coworkers orders the Caramelo, which is a giant taco with all the fixings! It looked really good!! Going to get that next time.
Sonoratown continues to be one of my favorite places for tacos. We are so lucky to have it in Long Beach. They're known for their handmade flour tortillas that have an amazing bite to them. They were just awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand award this week for their excellent, affordable food. One thing that I appreciate about their tacos is that their meats have varied textures. The costilla (rib meat) is a crowd pleaser as you get the taste of the grill/charcoal. They have tripe that is crispy with corn nut texture. Cabeza (face meat) has a stewed texture. Unlike most places in LB, there is two hours free parking conveniently located across the street at the Harvey Milk Community Lot. This is easily one of the best options for tacos in Long Beach and, if you haven't had it yet, then you really should! This is the type of place that we need to support!
Sonoratown offers some very flavorful and fresh tacos and other dishes with a good selection of meats and toppings. I ordered the steak, chicken, and beef head, all of which were flavorful and tender. The sauces added a nice kick, especially the red one. Their horchata was delicious and very cinnamony. Prices were on the higher end for the portion you get. Overall it's a nice place to visit in the heart of Long Beach.
It was decent nothing that wowed me. Margaritas were decent, not crazy flavorful though. Staff were nice and service was decently quick after placing our order. Tried two different flavors of Margarita A burrito 2.0 with asada And a chicken chivichanga which was kinda small and I probably could've eaten two lol. Not a bad spot and I live close so it wasn't out of the way. Limited parking in the area, there is a lot with free two hour parking close by but during events that is a paid lot so be warned. Decent size interior, worth a try if in this side of Long Beach.
My friends have always raved about Sonoratown's tortillas. They definitely lived up to the hype. I got a chicken chimichanga, an asada Carmello, hibiscus agua Fresca and a brown sugar pie. Everything was delicious. The servers are patient with newcomers. The casual spot has simple tables and fun colorful decor. I can't wait to go back to try more.
The tortillas tho.... Have been hearing a ton about this place, so came to give it a try. Interior is super cute with tons of seating. We ordered caramelos with the poblanos inside, as well as their horchata. Tortillas are some of the best I've had. Super soft and flavorful from the grill. The fillings and salsa were good too, but it was really wet, and the bean ratio especially compared to the meat, was a little off. Always am going to want more meat. Horchata was unique since it was coconut based. Overall solid spot with patient staff. Tacos La Rueda is still better, but will be back when in Long Beach.
When you get inside it's a place where you order and then find a seat. We got here on a Saturday before noon and it was already packed but no wait to place our order. First of all one of their workers with the mastche and tattoos is so cute which is always a plus for the ambiance. It didn't take long to get our food. About 5 minutes and they brought it out to where we sat since we dined in. First of all! You need to get an aguas fresca. We got the medium for the orange mango and the Jamaica. They are so natural. I'm a huge fan of artificial flavor so this was a huge shock, but it pairs so well with their food. My only regret isn't getting the large. For the food we got the burrito 2.0 asada and the chivichanga chicken. The burrito was great but very heavy on the beans. Make sure you get extra green salsa. It's their best and a perfect balance of salty with a hint of sweet. The red salsa gets spicy. If you can't handle hot Cheetos don't eat it. Now the chivichanga thing was perfect. It's so tiny but the fact it's about $5 was perfect. I have never had something so well priced and portioned before. The way I can describe it if you ever wanted to taste high class Taco Bell that will make you want four more then you need to try it. And I mean this in the best way possible. It's so cheesy and savory and yummy!!! Truly just from these two dishes we will be coming back to try the rest of the menu. Our next dishes is to try the tacos!
The interior of the shop was very colorful, had a good amount of seating, and had loud festive music playing. We stopped in for a carne asada burrito and bean and cheese burrito on a week night and it was not busy. It's nice that they have smaller burrito options that are around $5! They were served with a grilled green onion and radishes The flavor of the carne asada was good, and the tortillas were nice and chewy and freshly made. The different salsas were tasty and the green was our favorite of the three. I'd say they were solid burritos, would consider dropping by for a quick bite if I was in the area again
Amazing homemade flour tortillas, perfectly grilled meats, fresh ingredients, and fast, friendly service. Easily one of the best taco spots in LA. The official taco destination of IVA High School and, despite his ongoing campaign of misinformation, Mr. Pinzon's personal favorite.

I came here based on the other reviews. Here's an honest review. The chicken taco, was a bit peculiar for me. IMO the chicken tasted more like rotisserie chicken than grilled chicken. The quesadilla with asada was super good. It was generous portion and had a lot of cheese. The tortillas are flour and not of maiz like regular taco spots. I will admit I prefer maiz tortillas over flour. (I wish they had the option of maiz.) The watermelon water was also super good. I think it's fresh and was not too sweet and tasted like actual watermelon. The guacamole was reasonably priced and had a bunch of chips with it that were fresh. The spot is aesthetically cute and it seems to be locally owned. The service was pretty quick. You order and then they bring you your food later. read more
Sonora town is a vibe. The food tastes fresh and delicious. The service is excellent and they aren't stingy with their salsa love that! I ordered the Caramelo de Pollo. It was fully and affordable. I love the story behind this restaurant and appreciate seeing the history on its walls. Honoring your story is POWERFULL. read more

One of my go to spots! I first tried them at their downtown LA location and loved their food so when they opened up a location in Long Beach, I was over the moon. I lived in Long Beach up until this summer so it was close by and our go to spot when meeting up with friends or a quick date night. Their food is always delicious and their team is always on it, even when it's super busy. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but my favorite is the caramelo with a chivi or a caramelo with a cheese quesadilla and taco with a coconut horchata. Their guacamole salsa is my favorite but I ask for extra of the green and red to add more as needed. This is now our go to spot when we are visiting Southern California and the consistency in quality is always there. It always makes us happy when we do because for a split second it feels like we haven't left and we are just down the street getting a bite to eat at one of our favorite restaurants. read more
$3.50 Tacos are just as good. Quality matches it's price. Fresh, and great quality. Their popular item is the $5.50 chivichangas, takes credit card. You can't customize the chivichangas, it's premade. Friends felt like it was just like a microwavable burrito. -Taco meats: Cabeza is good (our fav out of everything). Tripa is very fried crunchy big for anyone who loves very fried; pieces were too big. Grilled steak taco with red spicy salsa, and really good too. - Tortilla is really nice. Better than Azetca! Red sauce can vary per day made. Today was super spicy, the higher medium side. Green was very very mild. read more
I recently heard that this place had some killer burritos and even someone separately told me it was amazing. Came with a friend while in Long Beach to vet it for ourselves. Thought the place inside was very inviting, clean, with nice decor and colors. The staff was was super friendly and they even brought the food to our table even though we ordered at the front. We also ordered this super strong and small frozen margaritas. We liked them a lot. The burritos to me were good for sure, but I've had much better at local taquerias or food trucks. I will say though that if you're looking for a "healthier" burrito with minimal grease, this place would scratch that itch! The salsas were pretty decent as well. read more

Sonoratown is such a standout for their tacos and burritos! The flour tortillas are incredibly light, soft, and flavorful without overpowering anything--they complement the meat so well and make every bite feel perfectly balanced. The meat is juicy, well-seasoned, and clearly the star, while the tortillas bring everything together beautifully. Simple, authentic, and seriously delicious. read more
This is a fairly small establishment with not a lot of seating or a big menu. There are only 5 types of meat and a few options for what to order. We got 2 burritos, one with chicken one steak. The salsa that originally comes on the burrito is spicy, if you don't like spicy get it on the side. I ordered the burrito with the green salsa which was the mild one and it was delicious. The tortillas are soo good and the burrito was delicious. They also have a dairy free Horchata because they use coconut milk. read more
Sonoratown always hits. If there were only one place I could recommend to SoCal visitors, it would be Sonoratown. It is consistently delightful, and I find myself still pleasantly surprised by how good it is, even though I've eaten there dozens of times at this point. It is probably my favorite food in all of LA/SoCal. My go to order is a chicken quesadilla, steak taco, and beef chivi. The chicken and steak have such so much great smoky grilled flavor. The thin flour tortillas are the perfect vehicle for the meats and salsa. The salsas have awesome flavor with a nice kick to them. The beef chivis sort of remind me of a fancy microwaved frozen burrito, but I mean that in the best way possible. I also like that they have grilled scallions on the side that I usually add to the food. This location is really nice, and much more spacious than the original DTLA or midtown locations. There's nice seating inside and out. Service here is always quick and efficient. read more

Great food. The asada tacos are full of flavor and a good size, and the chicken tacos are also great. The caramlo is pretty big, with beans, meat, cabbage, salsa, and guacamole, full of delicious flavor. Music is great. There is plenty of seating inside and outside, with friendly service. Overall, wonderful experience. read more
My partner and I love Sonoratown so much that once a week we ask each other what we would like to go for dinner, we go "tacos? Sonoratown?".. which is why we here once a week. Located in downtown Long Beach, there is free short term street parking but also free 2 hours in the structure across the way. The interior is super cute with vibrant colors and checkered flooring. You order at the counter and food is brought out to you. I love every item here but my to-go order has recently been: tripa tacos and costilla lorenza, the perfect amount of food for me. I love the crispy beef intestines. Sometimes when I feel like something super savory and fatty, I'll get the cabeza instead. We always get an agua fresca here, my favorite being the pepino con limon that was around earlier in the year, but the current melon is the best.. they're all good though! Really depends on your preference. We also came for Long Beach Food Scene Week and the TORTA is AMAZING - please, we beg, bring this and put it on the permanent meu. If not, it needs to come back around again! The bread is so soft and the perfect amount of sweet with the sauce, avocado, lettuce, and meat. We came back twice for this within a week because it was just that good. The party trays here are also perfect for get togethers, we've been bringing the chivichanga trays to potlucks and BBQs and they're a hit! We were told that Sonoratown is open 365 days a year so this is the perfect place to pick up any last minute holiday get together items. Beware: the red sauce is SO SPICY! Delicious, but spicy. I usually ask for it on the side because my spice tolerance is low unfortunately and my partner and some friends will take mine and slather it on their food. All items come with a few slices of radish and grilled onion (my favorite part). I highly recommend and honestly, will probably be back again this week. read more
A big shout out to the decor team! From the vibrant colors to the pictures on the wall to the menus they really make you feel like you've entered a different town as soon as you walk in. The food does not miss either! I ordered one bean and cheese burrito (appetizer size) and a steak burrito (entree size). Street parking can be tough due to it being in downtown so I suggest either calling ahead or parking in the structure that allows 2 free hours about a block away. read more

So happy to have you! Thanks for the support!
Great ambiance. I loved the colors, lights and the volume of the music (not too loud to quiet). Bathrooms were clean and stocked (actually smelled kinda nice). Service was great someone came around occasionally to check up on us and the food came out quickly and warm. My steak burrito was excellent, tortillas and guac was fresh. Salsa was a great addition also. Had everything it needed. read more

And this is why it took me this long to give this place a try.. asada meat was chewy... so that right there just killed it on top of being by so bland and boring... the cashier was spaced out I asked her if she could add green sauce and she said no because it would mess up the recipe (like what) also my food was ready in 2 secs also burrito was small... will I be back HELL TO THE NAH.. this place is so gentrified... Michelin restaurant where... must admit the tortilla was fire... I'm pretty sure there bean and cheese burrito would be fire though... anyways what a waste read more

Hey Jessica,…
You here all kinds of hype from influencers for tacos especially in LA and very few of them live up to the name. They're always lacking in something according to "experts." Location: In the heart of downtown Long Beach on 3rd Street which is one way, so be on the lookout for the restaurant on the left side. Food: I got 2 cabeza tacos and 1 steak caramelo. Both were excellent and very flavorful. Not a dry meat in the bunch although, the steak was a bit on the salty side. Cabeza (head) was fatty and soft. Both came with a tortilla that were made with lard so don't expect the typical fluffy corn or flour tortillas because these are made in house. They also didn't fall apart on me which is a plus, but still messy for the caramelo. I also got the jicama agua fresca for a beverage which was tart and refreshing in the warm day I had. Summary: Ok, I get the hype now. These are good and they have 2 other locations in LA. A lot more seating here as opposed to the other locations (or so I was told), Portions for the burrito are on the small side from what I've seen although I didn't get one. Is it worth it? Well, I think this is one of those places where quality trumphs quantity. But not everyone agrees on this depending on who you ask. Did I see other Latinos there? Yes. Would I come back? Yes, because if they didn't make the second location a success, there's no way a 3rd location would have happened. So, they got something here. As for parkiing, there's a free 2 hour parking garage across the street about 400 feet away on the opposite side of the street. Happy eating!!! read more

Thank you Kathy! Appreciate you coming by- we’re so glad to hear you…
Love this place! Everything I've tried, albeit I've stuck to the same 3-4 items, have always been so yummy. I love the chivichanga with machaca, the bean and cheese burrito (so simple but amazing) and the carne asada taco. Their red salsa is HOT, but flavorful. Get the coconut horchata too! They're known for their fresh handmade flour tortillas which you can also buy to take home. The tortillas are also flame grilled so it takes it to the next level. read more

Thank you Issa! We appreciate you very much!
Came back to try more of the menu, and everything is still so good!! I got the chicken chivichanga. If you've ever had those frozen chimichangas in your childhood, these are a 10x better version of those, and for such a good price. My favorite was the horchata, which is actually made with coconut milk, which was so delicious and interesting. This is truly my favorite spot for tacos in the city! read more

Love that this location doesn't have a wait! Park in the structure across the street for two free hour parking Order at the counter and they bring the food to you quite quickly. There are a good amount of tables inside and a few outside. The flour tortillas are soooo yummy!!! The chivichanga is yummers as well as the caramelo. The costilla is a little better at the LA locations probably because of higher turnover there but this one is also quite good. read more

Stopped by last night around 8ish, to meet up with some friends and initially ordered two tacos asada. They were so good, I ended up ordering two more! This restaurant is very busy, well staffed, & clean. The tortilla is not your traditional corn tortilla, it's a soft flour tortilla, and though it's thin; it holds everything together very well. Sonoratown is located in downtown Long Beach amongst a Main Street of bars and restaurants so there's a lively crowd. While seated with my friends an inebriated man opened the door and starts yelling at everyone... "Be happy..." he dropped a few dimes about enjoying life or what not. At first I thought there was some sort of random emergency. I did however notice he was wearing a Dave Chapelle shirt of the notorious Tyronne Bigums. And of course I took the opportunity to yell back.. "I like your shirt!" He then Shouted back, "Be quiet.." something about me being loud. Other than that, tacos are excellent, the Jamaica "Agua Fresca," is fresh definitely not artificial. I would definitely come back! read more

Thank you for coming to check us out, Rosalina!
For the size of the burrito and tacos, it's a tad on the pricier end but not a deal breaker. The burrito with tripa was good! The tripa had a very strong presence in the burrito which I liked. You could smell the smokiness and feel the crunch with each bite. The burrito did not have an overwhelming amount of sauce, beans, rice, etc so I'd say this was my kind of burrito. We also got large nachos with salsa so heads up... they just hand you a large bag of nachos. It's not on a plate, it's literally a large unopened back of nachos like you'd get at the store. I bring this up because some people order them with the expectation they are made fresh in house. Otherwise, it's a good place for a nice time. read more
Got the burrito 2.0. parking is a bit of a pain here so got it to go and ate in the car (+) Solid burrito, skin is yummy, good flavoring Can be better: - The green sauce is bland. Ive had tastier green salsa - Menu has no pricing (?) . Kinda cringe to ask what each item cost. Solid 4+ read more

Thanks for the review Eddie!…
I've been to their LA location and recently this location and both times I thought it was okay! They won the taco competition in Long Beach and are considered the "best tacos in Long Beach" according to some Long Beach influencers. Their tacos and burritos are simple and their green avocado sauce is amazing. The burrito is a bit on the smaller side, and their tacos are very flavorful. I tried their carne asada, chicken and El Pastor. They all were mildly spicy or had a kick to them which took me by surprise because I don't handle spice well. Their chips and guac were great and was a good addition to the meal. I loved their horchata, it was sweet and had coconut mixed with it. For parking, there's parking at City Place Lot C for a free 2 hours. read more

Thank you Nichole! Happy you found us over here in LBC!
I tried Sonoratown for the first time after my friend recommended it to me. I went for an early dinner and went with the chicken tacos, beans and watermelon agua fresca. My food and drink were good and I like the vibes of the restaurant. I love that they also sell cute merch items, and I decided to also get a sticker to take home. I'll definitely try other items on the menu whenever I go back. read more
I've been on the hunt for the best bean and cheese burritos in Long Beach, and Sonoratown delivered above and beyond my expectations. Their bean and cheese burrito is probably my favorite so far. They are smaller than my normal orders of the burritos, which I didn't know going on. However, the flavor was exactly what I was looking for. The beans were so good, as were the salsas! I got mine to go. Comes with a grilled spring onion, and a few pieces of radish on the side. Friendly service! read more
We ordered a variety of dishes...chorizo quesadilla, steak burritos, Lorenza (tostada) with chorizo topping, and every single item was delicious...with grill marks on the burritos that gave it all a nice look. The flour tortillas were thin and light making them the perfect bread to wrap all the goodness. We're coming back again for sure. read more

Honestly so delicious and very tender meat! Food: I ordered the Tripa Tacos, Cabeza Tacos, Steak Caramelo, and Coconut Horchata. First off 100/10 for the homemade flour tortillas. Perfectly chewy but thin almost like a gyoza wrapper. Not sure how they made it so thin but still held the meat up! Tripa: crispy fried perfection, tastes like a chicharron. Voted #1 taco in Long Beach for a reason! Cabeza: so tender I didn't have to chew. It melts in your mouth. I would 100% go back for more. By far my favorite meat here. Steak Caramelo: like a stuffed Quesadilla. Shredded cabbage, spicy salsa, well seasoned soft beans, melted cheese, with chopped grilled steak. Delicious and filling. Next time I'll try with a roasted chili. (Extra $1) Coconut Horchata: SO refreshing and cools down the spicy salsas! I love love this and it's a MUST if you come here. No joke. Salsas: spicy and great for cutting the grease (salsa verde and salsa rojo offered with taco) Overall: service was fantastic! They were so nice and accommodating. The price for the tacos were reasonable for how high quality the food is. Also the food came out fast (10 mins wait max on a non busy day) FYI: parking is street parking and may get busy in the weekend. When I looked around, tons of parking were available read more
