Sonoratown Mid-City

Sonoratown has earned its place among LA’s most celebrated taco destinations, and this Mid-City location brings their magic to a more accessible corner of the city. Tucked into a quiet strip mall on San Vicente Boulevard, this second outpost trades the chaotic energy of Downtown for a more relaxed setting where parking is plentiful and lines move faster.

The heart of Sonoratown’s appeal lies in their flour tortillas—pillowy, slightly charred, and made fresh throughout the day. These aren’t your standard grocery store wraps; they’re the kind of tortillas that make you rethink everything you thought you knew about tacos. The caramelo is the move here: a generous portion of smoky, perfectly grilled carne asada tucked into one of those legendary tortillas, crowned with bright salsa roja, creamy avocado, and crisp shredded cabbage. It’s about twice the size of a regular taco, which means it’s exactly the right size.

This spot is ideal for anyone who craves serious Sonoran-style Mexican food without the Downtown hassle. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch during a busy workday or making a dedicated trip from the Westside, Sonoratown Mid-City delivers the same quality that made the original a destination—just with the added bonus of stress-free parking.

For taco purists and casual diners alike, this is essential eating. Come hungry, order the caramelo, and discover why Sonoratown has become one of LA’s taco institutions.
