    After church, I was craving tacos, and my friend recommended Sonoratown, conveniently located in a plaza. Parking was a breeze, and we were greeted by friendly staff as soon as we arrived. I ordered tacos while my friend opted for a burrito, and we were both impressed by the in-house made tortillas,they were delicious! The burrito was just the right size, satisfying without being overwhelming. My tacos were flavorful, the salsa added a nice kick. However, my daughter's quesadilla with asada left much to be desired. It was lacking in cheese and the meat was falling out, making it feel overpriced compared to similar options I've tried elsewhere. On a positive note, the agua frescas were refreshing and delicious. Overall, Sonoratown has some highlights, but there's room for improvement, especially with the quesadilla.

    Steak quesadilla

    I came to Sonoratown on a Sunday evening. It's located in a small plaza on San Vicente. Upon entering there wasn't too many people and had to think of what to get. They have a small-medium sized menu. Staff is very nice and welcoming and even helped me with what drink to order. For food, I ended up ordering the steak quesadilla. And for the drink, I got the mango agua Fresca. They have a good amount of seating in the back area of the restaurant and seating outside. I sat outside with my friend and an employee brought out our food. First off, the quesadilla was delicious, a perfect amount of steak, the tortilla was soft and you could tell it was quality. The spicy salsa was hot and guacamole was plentiful! Along with my agua fresca, it was a great meal. My friend ended up getting the burrito and it was delicious too! A good option for a bigger portion item on the menu. The prices for items are very reasonable! I paid under $10 for a quesadilla and agua fresca. I was so tempted to try the bean and cheese burrito but it gives me an excuse to come back and try more! By the time we left, the line was LONG! You can tell it's a popular place and for good reason. Good food, good prices, nice staff, fast service. I will be back very soon!!!

    Food 5/5: it's possibly the best tacos in LA. I love their asada, and intestine ones. Wow, also especially their tortilla was mmmmmmmmmm so good. Except there was a smallllllll tiny ah hair in my taco. But it was so good i just took it out lol Service 5/5 Ambiance 3/5: i would say it isn't the cleanest place. But hey, it's better than any street tacos I would say. Recommend for the food for sure.

    Not your average LA street tacos. Sonoratown serves burritos and tacos wrapped in flour tortillas. As a flour tortilla fiend, I was in heaven my first visit and even grabbed an extra cabeza taco to-go and a pack of their fresh flour tortillas. Everything from the salsas to the agua frescas are so fresh and made with great ingredients. The staff here is great and so welcoming. I have tried much of the menu and my favorites are the cabeza and pollo tacos. They are so tender and packed with flavor. The bean & cheese burritos are simple but delicious, which says a lot about the menu. I love stopping by for lunch, a quick midday snack, or late-night bite. There's also a bar in the back and a shaded outdoor patio that's perfect for soaking up the sun with amazing food. Parking is available in the small lot out front. If full, the lot turns over quickly, or you can easily find street parking in the neighborhood on the next street over. If you're passing through this side of town, make the stop. You won't regret it!

    AUTHENTIC MEXICAN! The food here is delish. The tortillas are handmade and the meat is tender and flavorful. The salsas and guacamole are great. We ordered carne asada burrito (more filling than it looks), asada tacos, cabeza tacos and a tripa taco. We had the horchata and jaimaca agua fresca. Everything tasted great. The carne asada was amazing as expected but I was surprised how much we enjoyed the cabeza. My son gave me a bite of the tripa taco and it was fried tripa so it was crunchy and tasty. I am happy to learn that there are other locations that are closer to me!

    Taco and Chivichanga
    Audrey L.

    Great spot for tacos and burritos! The prices are very reasonable too. I got a taco with steak and a chivichanga with chicken. Both items kept me full for lunch! I reallyyy like the taco - the flavors were great and tortilla was fresh. The red salsa is pretty spicy too. Would recommend Sonoratown for tacos and burritos!

    The cabeza burrito 2.0 will be living in my dreams for quite some time. Just perfection! This place is amazing! I've been wanting to check it out for a while so I went in with some co workers - the place is casual and festive and colorful with friendly service and also definitely a popular spot when we went for lunch it was packed. There are some tables outside and some counter seats. As mentioned I got the cabeza (braised beef) burrito - think the most tender short rib but so so flavorful, can feel the love that went into making the meat, every bite was so good - and it had beans and cheese in a fresh tortilla that was grilled to perfection. The salsas are also on point. Green is amazing and red packs some spice! Highly recommend! Since this is in DTLA in the fashion district parking can get a bit tough but for this place... worth it!

    Asada and Pollo Tacos with cheese
    Jessica G.

    Taking my visiting friend as she wanna try tacos in LA and I knew Sonoratown was one of those I loved in town that had nice seat down space. Not expecting it to be that busy on a Saturday night but parking was tad tough and there's quite a line for ordering. The service was pretty speedy despite the hectic crowd, which we really appreciated! Getting their tacos with cheese, one with chorizo and another with cabeza. Loved how tasty they were as always with rich seasoning and sauces. The cabeza prolly wasn't my top preference though but this was personal bias as I wasn't really fancying the chewy fatty parts on meat.

    Burrito 2.0
    Justin A.

    If there's one taco spot in LA I'll happily go out of my way for, it's Sonoratown. This was my first time trying the mid city location(I'm usually a DTLA loyalist), and I'm happy to report it hits just as hard. Same warm vibes and friendly service, and that familiar smell of fresh tortillas. We ordered a couple burrito 2.0's with asada and a caramela taco with chicken, plus a horchata made with coconut milk to wash everything down. The burrito was loaded with perfectly cooked meat and packed with that Sonoran style flavor. The caramela taco is still one of my favorite bites in the city. The horchata was cold, creamy, and perfect palate cleanser between bites. Will definitely be back soon ordering the same thing without hesitation.

    Delicious!!!! Came in with my family since we were in the area. My sister said they had really good tacos, so. We came in around lunchtime which was pretty busy! The line did take a while, but once we ordered food was ready sooo fast. I got the Lorenza and made it vegetarian and my fiancé got tacos. My family got tacos, and tried the caramelo. Food is 10/10 so delicious! Everyone agreed it was very delicious! I wish they had photos of how everything looked because the Lorenza was just a tiny tortilla, so you'll probably need more than one lol. There's really only paid parking near by so I'd recommend coming if you're already in the area. I would definitely come again if I'm in the area, but now I know to order more lol

    Steak burrito
    Isabella S.

    Ordered takeout and this place was yummyyy. Great prices (which I feel like is really hard to come around in LA) and steak burrito was delish. It's kind of a smaller portion for a burrito but it was honestly the perfect size for me I was still full after. We also got some chips and salsa which were good - the salsa was really spicy but in a good way it paired perfectly with the salty chips and burrito. I am typically a huge sauce girl but this burrito didn't even need it I ended up eating most of it plain which is telling of how delicious the flavors are. The steak was seriously so yummy I recommend!

    5/10. After having villas tacos and papis it's incredibly hard for any other taco spots to measure up. The meat was a little chewyer than I prefer and the tortillas were cold. The picture looks better than it tasted... I definitely would come back and try again though! The third star is for the price point it was 20 bucks for three tacos and a bean and cheese burrito and chips and salsa!

    My friends wanted to dine here over the weekend so we made the drive all the way to Downtown LA to come eat here. This place is in a plaza with limited parking so we had to park on the street and walk here. The place was busy but most people were taking to go so we were able to get a table in their outdoor seating area. My friends mostly got tacos and Carmelo for their food. I got the carne asada burrito and customize it. The place has the soda in a glass bottle so I just got a cola. They brought out the food to us and it didn't take long. My friends like their tacos and I thought the burrito was very tasty. I got the red sauce which wasn't spicy and the green sauce is more mild. The food was alright but I don't believe it was worth the long drive to come here.

    Do all of your tortillas have lard in them? My husband and I dined there last year and were disappointed that the fresh tortillas had lard in them.

    Sonoran style Mexican food generally uses lard. Makes the food taste better. This is very common in Tucson.

    Is there cilantro in your guacamole?

    Yes

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening.

This time, we decided to give it another shot since it has so many good reviews, and I'm glad we did. The ambiance was much better, with nice Tulum-style vibes and music that really set the mood. From the moment we walked in, service was great. We were greeted and seated right away thanks to our reservation. Our waitress, Brenda, was friendly, attentive, and super helpful in explaining the menu and recommending drinks. She checked in often and made sure everything came out quickly. The food was good overall, though the menu is a bit limited if you don't eat meat or seafood. I was especially looking forward to the fish tacos, but it seems like they've been removed from the menu. One thing I really appreciated was the mocktail options. Perfect if you're not drinking but still want something fun. The Wes Colada is a great pick if you like piña colada type drinks, though it is on the sweeter side. The michelada was also really well done, with a nice balance of savory and sour. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for a date night or a girls' night out.

My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen.
