Sonoratown
A beloved downtown LA taco spot serving exceptional Sonoran-style tacos and burritos with housemade tortillas.

Tucked away a few blocks from the main downtown LA bustle, Sonoratown has quietly become one of the city’s most beloved taco destinations. This unassuming order-at-the-counter spot doesn’t look like much from the outside, but step inside and you’ll find yourself in taco heaven. The small space buzzes with energy as regulars and newcomers alike line up for some of the most authentic Sonoran-style fare in Los Angeles.
What sets Sonoratown apart is their commitment to tradition and quality. Every flour tortilla is made fresh in-house, resulting in that perfect flaky, slightly chewy texture that mass-produced tortillas simply can’t replicate. The carne asada is where they truly shine—tender, flavorful, and cooked with the kind of care that turns a simple taco into something memorable. Each bite delivers that perfect balance of smoky char and juicy meat.
For those looking for something more filling, the Burrito 2.0 is the move. This hefty creation comes stuffed with creamy guacamole, fiery salsa chiltepin, hearty pinto beans, and that signature steak, all wrapped in their signature flour tortilla. It’s the kind of burrito that’ll have you rearranging your schedule to come back for another round.
Sonoratown is ideal for a solo lunch escape or a quick, satisfying meal that won’t break the bank. The casual vibe and fast service make it perfect for anyone who appreciates great tacos without the fuss. Once you’ve made the trek to this downtown gem, you’ll understand why locals keep it in their regular rotation.
