Sonoratown in L.A. - Behind the Scenes of How They Make the World's Best Tacos!

- Our favorite tacos in Los Angeles can be found at Sonoratown in Downtown L.A. This taqueria opened in 2016 in the Fashion District, and within months was already drawing long lines. The secret to their success? Their Sonoran-style flour tortillas made with pork lard and their delicious meat grilled over mesquite wood. You may already have seen them featured on the Netflix show Taco Chronicles, but now you get to come with us behind the scenes to see how these legendary flour tortillas are made. You’ll also get to watch us try their signature dishes, including the tacos, chivichangas, and caramelos. We interviewed founder Jennifer Feltham, who opened the taco shop together with her boyfriend Teo Diaz, who grew up in Sonora, Mexico. Soon, Sonoratown will be expanding and opening a second Los Angeles location later this year.

Ooooh, those agua frescas look really good.
They put such passion into their products- and the result is incredible. We love every visit we make to Sonoratown!
Totally agree!
My wife is from Sonora and hands down best flour tortillas ever, I like the burrito with whole beans and no rice SF mission style.
So good!
As an LA native, I can 100% confirm that Sonoratown is legit! They don't have a multiple-page menu, so what sets them apart is the quality of their ingredients, preparation, and execution. The tortillas taste a bit better than the ones from chipotle or a taco truck, the meat is more smoky and tender and less grisly, and even the salsas have a depth of flavor that you can't get from most places.
Not gonna lie, I thought your channel would be some bougie channel that wouldn't appreciate food like this, so I'm pleasantly surprised you featured them!!!
We love ALL kinds of food, from the dirtiest street food to the finest fine dining. Admittedly, this CZcams channel features more fine dining, but follow us on Instagram for more varied content - @andershusa and @carnivorr.
I totally agree with you, SonoraTown is the best. Those tortillas are the main reason why, I've never had a flour tortilla that good. Straight fire! The meat is so tasty, everything is just simply so good on its own . I am in South Florida but every time i think of food in LA ,i think of this place. Great video loved the behind scenes of the tortilla production and the interview with the owner.
Glad you liked it! And yeah, once you've had Sonoratown, you know why we rave this much about it.
LOVED the behind the scenes look and seeing the passion and personality behind the magic.
Glad to hear that!
This just made me so hungry!!! I loveeeee Sonoratown!!
So envious that you have it nearby!
This is right across the street from me and I am legit addicted to their carne asada burrito. It has become a problem😩😂
It's SO good!
OMG! (Not a commonly used expression by me, but those Carmelo’s!!!!!!)
Sonoratown definitely has the secret sauce, starting with the best tortillas and building with the most amazing flavors. I’m love with this place!
Right?!
Caramelos
Nothing like campas been going there since i was 2
Hard to believe we never heard about it when we lived in So CA!
You simply MUST go!
I am going to put it on our food bucket list! Mr. T always wants to go to Manuel's.
Amazing 😍 like always guys 😍 so sensational 🤤😋💖
Love you forever 💕
Thank you 😋
3:10 Love the nails, lol
Thanks!
I cannot wait to try this place next month my god.
It's so insanely good!
Who is this/where is this video from?
Did you watch the video and/or read the caption? All your questions are answered.
Better than in mexico?
We certainly didn't find any better when we went there ourselves!
@@andersandkaitlin where in México did you go?
@@Bigjuan-lf8qm All over Mexico City, Oaxaca, and Yucatan.
@@andersandkaitlin i'm mexican and you are right, these kind of tacos are the best, although it is hard for many mexicans to accept, there are more than tacos al pastor and corn tortillas
@@abelr7755 food is subjective, that's for sure!
It is believed that flour tortillas indeed first began in the state of Sonora. That being said, Mexico does have better tacos than any place in America just because the ingredients are native to Mexico, with that level of freshness is impossible to compete with, some taquerias even nixtamalize their own corn for tortillas right there in the store.
L.A. is very close to Mexico and has a huge Mexican population. It's overall an amazing city for Mexican food. Based on our experience eating a lot in both Mexico and Southern California, we think Sonoratown rivals the very best places in Mexico.
Pretty sure i could find better tacos in mexico lol
We tried intensly when we went there ourselves. Have you tried Sonoratown then?
@@andersandkaitlin nah i haven't . But my brother has and he liked them . But im pretty sure u could find better tacos in sonora especially in obregon
@@andersandkaitlin i have a friend that sells sonoran style tacos in perris ,ca named tacos del c.o. estilo sonora .. should give them a try
@@elemir17 We can't wait to explore the North of Mexico more ourselves. It's hard to imagine anything being better than Sonoratown, but hopefully there's something at the same level! :)
@@elemir17 My family is from Obregon. From my experience, the tacos there are not any better than Sonoratown. The biggest difference is price. For one taco at Sonoratown ($3.50), you can probably get like 7 in Obregon for the same amount of money (10 pesos/$0.50 each).
Even in Mexico?? Have you been to Mexico? Lol
Yes.
Did she say a touch of baby powder ? Okkk...
Best tacos in the world lol…That’s a stretch….😂😂😂
The only stretch here is the insane stretch of the tortillas. I dare you to find better tacos than this. We've looked all over Mexico, but please let us know! (And please say you've tried this one before you commented. 😜)
you have to make the tortillas a mano whats that machine crap
As a Mexican it was One of the worst restaurants I've been to the food was bland and tasteless .
Maybe you had covid. There’s nothing bland about this food, that is impossible.
