"Carne asada competition is tough in LA, but Sonoratown has managed to take a tiny taqueria space in Downtown and build it into a full-on institution for Sonoran-style tacos. The legendary housemade flour tortillas here melt in your mouth, and the charred steak that gets tucked inside has the exact right degree of saltiness. You can certainly opt for Sonoratown's regular tacos, but our move is the caramelo, which measures roughly double the size and comes topped with pinto beans, jack cheese, salsa roja, avocado, and diced cabbage. There's a second location in Mid-City as well, with much easier parking. " - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, brant cox, nikko duren
