Downtown LA counter-service taqueria devoted to Sonoran-style Northern Mexican cooking: tacos, quesadillas and chivis, with grilled meats and house salsas. The thin, lard-infused flour tortillas are the draw, hand-stretched and grilled over mesquite. Start with the costilla taco.

Delicious. If we had known, we probably would’ve ordered the braised beef for all of the items. My favorite was the chimichangas that’s grilled. The tacos were good and the burrito wasn’t bad but we had ordered steak. I think it would have been much more flavorful with the braised beef. The service was quick and friendly counter service. The seating was along the wall or a few tables outside. The surrounding area is clean. I would definitely come back and order the chimichanga again. I love the grilled tortillas. The char really makes a difference. The chips come out of a bag. The salsas are good. I didn’t get to taste their spicy salsa which was supposedly in the burritos but I didn’t taste much of it.

Sonoratown in downtown LA is easily one of my favorite spots for a quick and delicious meal. The service is consistently great, the staff is super friendly, and they get your food out to you remarkably fast, which is perfect for a busy lunch break. You can’t talk about this place without mentioning the flour tortillas; they are handmade, thin, and honestly perfect. They have this amazing texture that holds everything together without being too heavy. The meats are incredibly smoky and tender, and when you pair them with that perfectly melted, tasty cheese, every bite is a win. It’s a simple, no-fuss spot where the quality of the ingredients really shines through. If you’re in the area and want authentic flavors that hit the spot every single time, you definitely need to check it out.

I tried the cucumber water and the coconut horchata, both were so so good. My friend and I decided to order everything we could and split everything so we could both try everything and it did not disappoint! My favorite was their Sinaloan Chorizo burrito, but everything else was sooooo good! We also had the beef tinga, Lorenzo, carmela, and a taco de asada. 😮💨🤤😋
