    I've heard so many good things about this place and finally got to try recently. My recent obsession has been with cabeza tacos and so that was the only thing I ordered here. The place that I usually go to finely minces/chops up the cabeza meat but here at Sonoratown, it comes in bigger chunks that you have to chew on. The flavor was definitely great, but I would say I preferred the texture and mouthfeel of a more finely minced cabeza taco versus the larger chunks. I do love green onions, so I like that Sonoratown will include a grilled green onion with your order. Also got the coconut horchata here which was yummy. Service is fairly fast - they just yell out your name and then will go around their whole seating area to hunt you down if you don't respond fast enough haha. There is a small parking lot for the plaza, but it is often crowded/you have to wait and get lucky. There is decent street parking nearby.

    Chicken taco & Chivichanga

    Friendly service & clean restaurant. Chicken taco was forgettable. Chicken Chivichanga was good. Salsas that are free aren't good. No flavor. Would I return? Probably not.

    So we went to Sonora Town today for lunch & this place got busy soon after it opened! I ordered the Tacos de Cabeza along with the Carne asada burrito the tacos were good but I felt like the salsa wasn't hitting I tried both the red & the green. I loved my asada burrito the meat had as nice smokey good flavor & was loaded pretty well took me back to Mexicali & my trips to Taqueria Acatlán. The tacos were good I think they would've been better with a nice salsa with a little more spice. The tortillas were good I always love my tortillas de harina!. Overall I enjoyed the food with rabanos & grilled cebollitas. We had the Jamaica to drink which was good & not super sweet. The ambience was cool I loved the colorful decor & all the stickers. I'd come back when in the area.

    Asada and tripa tacos
    Beatrice V.

    I feel like I must be missing something? I've seen Sonoratown on so many lists and guides for best Mexican so we finally decided to check it out. We ordered just a couple tacos - one asada and one tripa, based on reading numerous recommendations that those are what to get here. $3.50 a taco which is not bad for a restaurant taco. It's a cool casual vibe here. Seating inside as well as the patio. They have tasty looking horchata and other agua frescas. Colorful walls. They bring your food out to you by calling your name. The tacos were loaded with a pretty decent amount of meat and toppings. But sadly we were far from impressed by the flavor. The asada was okay and better than the tripa, but it paled in comparison to our go-to taco trucks in the area which only costs $1. And the tripa was strange to eat in taco form. The tripa is crunchy small pieces so it just feels odd to eat in a taco. Maybe if it was just served as an appetizer to eat by itself, but even then, it kinda just feels like you're eating pellets. Don't see the hype unfortunately.

    Asada Quesadilla and taco
    Rich E.

    TL;DR: Asada Burrito was good. Quesadilla was small and was like a messy taco in a different form. Food is good. We've been to the downtown location before and the menu was a little different from what I remember. Hard to find parking sometimes. Only counter seating inside with about six tables outside. Wanted to snack on chips while we waited and there are only two sizes: small which is a bag you would put a sandwich and chips in like when you were a kid taking lunch to school, and a large which was a big bag that you would buy like a part size Doritos with the labels and all. Note to the non-spicy fam: the green salsa is mild with a little heat but the red is definitely spicy so watch out. They don't have pico de gallo. We had an asada burrito which was surprisingly packed and even had guacamole in it. Appropriately sized for lunch so not some monstrosity but it's good and flavorful. We also got an asada quesadilla. It's ok but the cheese is just melted and everything was kind of "wet" still and hard to eat because it just falls apart. Also had an asada taco. Yeah it's good but can't really describe if it was much better than a taco truck. No fountain drinks but got a Jamaica agua Fresca and really felt it was too sweet. Probably just go with a Mexican coke or canned soda next time. Sonoratown is good and worth a trip back as well. They won't compete against taco trucks but sometimes it's nice to just sit down and relax with good food.

    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.

    Carne asada taco, cabeza taco, and chicken chivichanga
    Jonathan H.

    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!

    The bean and cheese burritos and the chivichangas are a MUST. So good and such a good deal! Big fan of the salsas as well. Cool ambiance.

    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!

    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.

The menu is quite simple, but beware that no prices are listed on the main menu, but they are on the paper menus. They accept Apple Pay/credit cards. I ordered the asada burrito and the pollo caramelo and added the grilled poblano (as recommended on Yelp!). The tortillas were the true stars -- soft, nice chew, with a buttery mouth feel (probably lard). The fillings were just ok. The inside reminded me of a Taco Bell 7 layer burrito -- a lot going on but all the flavors kinda blend together. I (incorrectly) thought the beans were refried, but they are not. Whatever is going on inside, I didn't find much structure. The burrito was the best. The caramelo was a lazily folded burrito. I read that it was like a quesadilla, but I couldn't disagree more. I would skip this next time. I spent $25 and it was a lot of food, but I wasn't impressed, especially given the hype and the fact that LA should really be the pinnacle of Mexican food. Not sure if I'll make a second trip here.

One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

And I live in Portland, which has really good vegetarian options. First of all, I could eat like 75% or more of the menu as a pescatarian. I was thrilled and so overwhelmed because I normally don't have that many choices! First of all, the water was infused and was delicious. I browsed the menu and had a really hard time deciding, but ended up on the cauliflower rajas taco, the crispy shrimp taco & the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The waiter recommended the crispy shrimp taco, but I actually enjoyed the vegetarian tacos more. I love cauliflower and poblano so that taco was a great starter. So much flavor and a variety of textures. The tortillas were super flavorful too. The potato taquitos came next and I am actually obsessed. The outside was perfectly crispy, the interior was soft, flavorful & cheesy. The sauce complimented it perfectly. I can not recommend them enough. The crispy shrimp taco was really good, but I also tried a crispy fish taco and would honestly get that over the shrimp. I think there was mango or something in the coleslaw of the fish taco because it had a really nice fresh flavor to it. Last, I had the vegan Korean BBQ taco. The mushroom shreds & the flavor were just perfect. Again, as a pescatarian I have really never had Korean BBQ because it's so heavily meat focused. I truly loved this taco. If I hadn't discovered it on my last night in LA, I might've come back on my short trip. The whole place is just a vibe and the food was beyond excellent.

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several. I tried the Hollenbeck and the Okie burritos on two separate occasions via pick up, as aforementioned, the service was quick, convenient and the pick up window is seamless, parking is located next to the structure and I haven't had problems getting there. Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. 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. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.

There is a private lot but fills up, and there's also adjacent street parking. I love sitting at the bar and seeing the plate being prepared. Also love the open freezers so you can see the fresh seafood hanging. Another standout was the homemade hot sauces! Each had a distinct flavor from sweet, smokey, and hot so it was really fun to try. The ceviches and the raw cold dishes were my favorite, especially the scallop aguachile! SO GOOD. Would order that 100 times.

Order the Kanpachi taco: a shatter-crisp blue corn tortilla, molten fried cheese, silky buttery kanpachi, and a slick of smoky chili oil drizzled over top. The kind of taco you'll think about long after you've experienced it. You can't go wrong with the ceviches, cocteles, or aguachiles. The ceviche is bright with lime and the cocteles are lush and briny with a tomatoey kick, and the aguachiles hit with sharp citrus, fresh herbs, and it's a really decent amount of fish. If you're looking for a more traditional hot entree get the Filete al Cabrón: grilled sea bass with cilantro-lime rice, beans, and warm flour tortillas. Simple and so comforting. Fresh seafood can be hard to find in L.A., but Holbox does it like no other. Takes me back to Mexico City every time!
