"When it comes to Downtown tacos, the field is competitive. But Sonoratown has managed to take a tiny space on Los Angeles St. and turn it into an institution. Their house-made flour tortillas melt in your mouth, and their charred grilled steak is smoky, sweet, and the exact right level of salty. You can certainly order their regular tacos and be happy, but our move is to stick with the caramelo, which is about double the size and comes topped with salsa roja, avocado, and cabbage." - brant cox, sylvio martins
