Came back and tried more items on their menu. Once again, the service was great as always. This time I tried their tacos, and wow! The meat tasted fresh, juicy and perfectly cooked. Love the cabbage and green salsa topping. This has become our must stop place whenever we're in LA. Love! read more

Kept seeing Sonoratown on top 20 lists of best food in Los Angeles and decided to finally DoorDash food. I have been missing out they have the best burritos I've ever had in LA. There's an incredible smoky flavor you get in each bite. Sonoratown will now be my go to for Mexican food in LA. Glad to have some delicious food nearby as I normally had to go to South Bay for great Mexican food. read more

I've been hearing and seeing Sonoratown on tv and kept telling myself I need to go I need to go! I actually stumbled upon this location by accident while driving around and running errands. When I passed it, I was like wait a minute, it can't be. As I was driving home I passed by it again and realized it was what I thought it was. This is their second location, hence Sonoratown 2. It's not the OG one which is located in DTLA. Nonetheless, I had to try it out. I got carne asada burritos for my family. The restaurant is small, so not a whole lot of seating options available, we decided to take it to go. The young lady at the counter was super nice and friendly. We did wait awhile for our food, as did the other people that were there. Since the restaurant is small, it was getting a bit cramped with people waiting for their food. They definitely need to create a better system because I'm sure when more people find out about this location, it's going to get busy busy. My burrito was good. But I honestly expected a more "boom" in my mouth. Maybe since I ate it at home? Maybe if I ate it right away? I'm not sure, but my family loved it! Not sure if I would return to this location, but I'm definitely down to try the OG location. read more

The tortilla, smoky meat, it's all good. Probably my favorite taco spot in LA. I've also gotten the family pac and brought it home. But it's best to eat it there fresh on the sidewalk tables. read more

Loveee Sonoratown! Their steak and chicken are insanely flavored, and their tortillas are utter perfection. Highly recommend!!! Even love catering out from them for a taco night at home! read more

Sonoratown 2 is a great Mexican dive with exceptional prices, quick service and tasty food. The Menu is very small, but allows them to excel at what they offer in an efficient manner without too much fan-fare. We ordered the Bean and Cheese Burrito and the Grilled Steak Burrito. I love how they grill the burritos to make it nice and crispy. Each burrito was plentifully stuffed with ingredients and accompanied by red and green sauce as well as a grilled spring onion. It's located in a small strip mall with easy parking. read more

Flour tortillas. Decent location. Outdoor seating. I don't remember the tacos + burritos being that small at the DTLA location but tasty nonethless. read more

Their red hot salsa and green guacamole salsa is fire. I got the 1# family pack and added a side of beans. The chicken was a standout. Juice and flavorful. The carne asada was a 3.5 out of 5. It was too salty for me. The tortillas 5 out of 5 and the variety of condiments were fresh. Bonus for grilled green onions. The whole pinto beans are boring. 2.5 out of 5. Bonus points for the super friendly staff!!! Solid 4 read more

We order from here once a month at least. Their 2.0 burrito is the way a burrito should be made - no rice (cheap filler), and homemade tortilla. Get the steak burrito. The chivichangas are also amazing. Steak taco is good too. Love their guac. The best part - it's consistent. read more

Being a fan of the original in DTLA, I am happy to have a second location closer to the Westside that delivers just as well as #1. Usually there's a time and a place for flour tortillas and in LA the norm is corn for tacos. But Sonoratown IS the place and IT IS time that you tried their wonderful housemade flour tortillas. When combined with the wonderfuly, mesquite grilled meats, crispy tripa, or savory chorizo it is a lovely thing. IMO opinion the corn tortilla dish is just okay, I mean common it's a flour spot, don't bother. And between the burrito 2.0 and chivichanga... 2.0 oh oh oh all the way. read more

This place is a Los Angeles treasure! Their burrito lives up to the hype and the chivis are spectacular. This is solid comfort food for my family and they always deliver a solid product. If the lime/cucumber aqua fresco is available, GET IT! read more

Made a quick stop here for lunch, having never heard of it before. Though the location kind of came out of nowhere, when I walked in there it was pretty lively. I ordered the beef steak, chicken, and chorizo tacos with everything on them and they were delicious! When the food was brought out, very quickly I might add, I was encouraged to "tear it up" and y'all can consider it ... tore up! I will definitely be coming back again. read more

I love this place and highly recommend it, and I imagine the other locations are great too. The staff is really friendly, the service is quick, even though they are so busy, and most importantly, the food is great, the mesquite flavor is so good, and I generally find the food so perfectly spiced that I do not need to use the salsa. I really love the caramellos and add a roasted chile, but anything on the menu is good. I live nearby and I love the smell when they start cooking, and somedays when the wind is just right, I can smell it from my place. This place has an A rating from the County, and I can see why as I see the staff come in at 5 am when I am walking my dog, and they are busy cleaning everything, so the place is spotless from what I can tell. With that kind of attention to food safety and their great food, they will be here for a long time. read more

Can normally count on sonoratown for a good meal but our food delivery from this location tonight is a salt bomb and the meat is disgusting. My first bite was this huge, long piece of fat. So gross. read more

What's not to like about Sonoratown?? They have excellent tacos, but my favorite is the chivichangas!

Service is always great and the prices are on point so seriously- what else can you ask for? read more

Same old, same old. The flavors are so damn good, it's hard to give it up, but they have to deliver a better end product when it comes to the steak. I'm scared to bite into the burrito because you never know which bite might just be a gristly, inedible, off putting one. It's so hard to get beyond. I sincerely ask, once again, for the meat prep to be held to a much higher standard as it's such a shame to squander the otherwise great taste of this food. I'm out though. Can't keep ordering the same food and expect different results. Time to find an alternative. read more

Every time I would go to work, I would see Sonoratown. So one day after work, I decided to place my order over the phone. I was sent a link to pay, awesome. I get to the restaurant I waited about 10 minutes more. Got home and started eating my nachos. My sister had their asada burrito. Not sure what the hype is. But definitely wasn't my favorite. I rate this place 6/10. Cheese on my nachos was not good. read more

I'm mixed about this one. The staff was nice, place was clean, outdoor seating. Found this place online and decided to try it. Reviews are good. These tacos are different then your normal taco. Remember it is estilo Sonora. Flour tortillas! Ordered 2 de asada. Meat on the grill looked good. Meat on the taco looked boiled? The green salsa was good. When you take a bite with everything it's good but then you start chewing. And I found it chewy and that's because of the tortilla. I am not use to a flour tortilla taco. Getting past that detail I can see why this taco is good. High ratings. I liked the cabbage touch. No onions or cilantro on top. Cabbage is the Sonora style. Would I come back. I definitely would like to try a burrito next time I am in la... not my fave tacos. I'm sorry read more

Really, really disappointed. We got their carne and pollo burritos along with a chorizo taco and it was such a let down considering all the glowing reviews. Extremely bland everything except the salsas which were super hot. The burritos do have that char taste but that is all it has going for it. It tasted like nothing besides that. Would not recommend. read more

Tasty tacos! I got steak and chorizo, both very delicious. The salsa is on the hot side, but overall tolerable. Tacos are made with flour tortillas, not your typical corn tortillas. My favorite part, as a lactose intolerant person, is the horchata made with coconut milk. Service is very fast and there's plenty of space to sit and enjoy your tacos. read more

i love this place! first time I ordered, I ordered from ubereats and was very impressed by the quality even from takeout. we got a steak burrito, chicken burrito with no beans, and a chivichanga. it was so good! the meat tasted really smokey and fresh. i actually really liked the addition of the charred scallion. the chivichanga was like a chicken burrito with tomato sauce. it was ssuper good and unique! the second time, we went in person and got the same burritos. it was still amazing and tasted even better fresh. i would definitely recommend coming here for really great burritos! read more

Chile releno in a burrito. The perfect balance of veggies, cheese, beans. Flavor, not just heat. And the two salsas were the added chefs kiss. Casual place with colorful stool/counter setups. But don't let that make you think the place is just another burrito joint. Go in on an empty stomach. The burriitos are generous and so damn tasty. read more

My favorite burrito in LA! Pleasant outdoor seating (a little chaotic inside, but fine). read more

This place was better than I expected. The tacos were fresh and generously filled, especially the carne asada , which was really flavorful. The salsas tasted homemade, with some nice spicy options . Service was quick, though during busy hours it could be a bit friendlier. Prices are reasonable for the area. I'd definitely come back for a casual meal. read more

Legit. When your Latino best friend tells you these tortillas are like grandmas, you listen. He was not wrong. The tortillas are insane. I tried the steak and bean and cheese. Both were delicious. I'll need to go back to do a full assessment. Possibly repeatedly. Especially since it's such a great value. Service was attentive and friendly. Cute place also. I will return. read more

I walked in and had no idea what I wanted but I heard about Sonoratown so I was eager to try any and every damn thing! The woman who took my order was so kind and patient with me. She recommended the chicken chivicanga. So I ordered the chicken chivicanga along with grilled steak and chicken tacos. Listen. After one bite of the grilled steak taco I was blown away! It was the flavor for me! I'm not sure if it's the tortilla or the flavor of the meat but Sonoratown got something special going on and I really like it! Both tacos and the chivicanga were absolutely delicious! I had one round dining in and I took another round to-go lol Sonoratown ain't just hype - it's the real deal! I'll be back soon! read more

Sonoratown, famed for their award-winning tortillas, opened their second location in Mid-City - a wish come true for those of us living in LA's Westside, who are too lazy to make the trek to Downtown. I came for their costilla (grilled steak) tacos, with a spicy salsa roja, cabbage and avocado sauce, on top of their impossibly thin housemade flour tortillas. Somehow the tortillas managed to strike a balance between being delicate yet strong enough to contain all the fillings. This was a solid steak taco. Even better was the chorizo taco, using meat from Chori-Man. The spiciness of the pork sausage really made the taco come alive (and had me gulping down water). My hands down favorite was the chivichanga. Shredded breast meat chicken in a stew of Monterey jack and cheddar cheese, blistered tomatoes and Anaheim chiles made for an irresistible hand-held treat. It's on the tiny side, so order a couple of tacos or their bean & cheese burrito (which is perfect for a small child, though they may want it without salsa if they're sensitive to heat) to accompany it. For those with larger appetites, there's the Burrito 2.0 - choice of meat (steak, chicken, tripe or chorizo), guacamole, Monterey Jack cheese, pinto beans and chiltepin salsa. It's chock full of meat and a generous amount of guacamole, with no rice filler. Since online takeout orders were through third-party sites, I placed my order over the phone. They are located in a tiny corner mini mall, with a very small parking lot out front and some street parking. The Mid-City Sonoratown is currently only open from Tuesday-Saturday from 11am to 4pm, so plan accordingly. With all the negative things happening out there, Sonoratown opening their second location is a bit of good news that is much needed. read more

Tried the Chivicanga (I believe that was the name) with beef. Wasn't bad just burrito was kinda small. Was hungry enough that I could've probably eaten a 2nd one. Small portion small parking lot but good food. Not worth a crazy detour for but if local to the area it's a decent spot to try read more

Mid-City LA is lucky to have Sonoratown 2 in the neighborhood! I've been wanting to go to the original location but parking in DTLA is not easy. This location has a small parking lot but there is also ample parking on the street. Sonoratown 2 serves Sonora-style tacos, burritos and other regional dishes. The main difference other than how the meat is marinated and cooked over mesquite, is the tortillas. Sonora inspired tacos uses flour tortillas instead of corn. The tortillas are made with lard and are super thin but have a little bit of a chewiness texture. Seating is very limited as they have a few tables outside and countertop space for standing or sitting as they have a few stools available. I came in during soft opening so the hours of business is limited to 11am-4pm. They use Postmates and Uber Eats for delivery. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Now for the food. First of all, THEY GET THEIR CHORIZO FROM CHORIMAN! Choriman in San Pedro has the best chorizo and I am so happy that I don't have to take a drive all the way to South Bay to eat it. Secondly, The prices are super reasonable. You pay for delicious food and it is easy on the pockets. - Horchata de coco: Horchata made with coconut milk is a game changer for me. (This may be the first time I had it with a coconut base.) So much flavor, not so sweet and it taste refreshing. - Chorizo burrito: Perfect grill marks and the tortilla is soft and velvety. They are generous with the chorizo. SO much flavor that I actually ate it without the salsa, simply because it was so good that I quickly ate it. - Bean and cheese burrito: Sometimes I want a simple bean and cheese burrito. This burrito is made with whole beans and not refried beans. Currently, it is less than $4 and the size is PERFECT for days when I am hungry but don't have a huge appetite. - Costilla (steak) taco: You can definitely taste the mesquite which makes them stand apart from any other carne asada tacos around our area. Absolutely delicious. I am definitely coming back. All the accolades that told me about Sonoratown are validated! This review is for my first visit at Sonoratown 2 and I plan to update this review as I return to try more items on the menu. read more

All right, so we sat down for a longer brunch and we ordered basically everything on the menu so you don't have to - And tl;dr everything - every single item on the menu that we tried- at this location is better. First off, the horchata con coco is not too sweet and has subtle coco undertones so that's a recommend from us The burrito 2.0 - solid, chorizo also is well seasoned not as salty The tacos- best one is asada, unless you like tripa like my partner in which case it's tripa. The asada is tender and again well-seasoned, not too salty. The quesadilla- as always one of my go-tos- done well here. Could do with more cheese though, but it's because they were very generous with the meat in the quesadilla which was very nice The lorenzo- it's a tostada open-faced and with the same insides as the tacos The caramela- my partner's definite new favorite. Only at this Sonoratown location. It has cheese, beans, veggies, meat and is folded over... like a giant taco -burrito cross but with cheese and beans The chimichanga- good! We liked it a lot but it was probably last place for us since everything else here tastes good Place was packed as usual since soft opening on May 31st and there are limited outdoor tables with 2 walls of indoor counter seating. Service was quick and friendly, and order was ready and brought to our table within 15 minutes. read more

YIKES!!!! Sonora town is screwing around. We used to be frequent customers at the MidCity location, until we found a screw in our food! Yup. A screw nail bolt whatever you want to call it. As I bit into my caramelo, I felt something hard hit my tooth & spit out a screw nail. Disgusting right! Luckily it didn't break or chip my tooth. I called to let the manager know right away, took the plate as it was & walked back to the location for a new plate. To my surprise the so called manager (Kenny) insinuated I put it there, mind you food was on it, said he wasn't able to see the screw on the camera (huh?) and that they don't give out "free food." Excuse me? Free food? I paid for the meal. I requested a refund & the least they could do is offer a complimentary meal. Nope. All this guy did was give me a refund & to go on the website to email the owner. The owner or whoever was on the other end wasn't much help either. Like another review said - the food is mediocre. To add objects in our meals now, deny it & have a bad attitude towards your neighborhood customers is a zero stars for me. Careful & check your food guys! read more

I've been waiting so long to come back to LA to eat at Sonoratown. Years ago, I went to the location downtown. Now that I was back in town, decided to try this specific location. We were able to avoid rush hour, so the restaurant was not packed. I ordered the carne asada tacos, which were a bit pricier than I'm used to, but still delicious. We then tried the chorizo burrito and the vegetarian burrito; both of which were outstanding. The ambience felt like I was at a restaurant back home in the border. Highly recommend coming here. read more

Great flavorful burritos with fresh delicious tortillas that come out quickly to your table. It does not get much better than that.
