Sonoratown

Had my first Chivi.... It was amazing. Of course the tacos were off the charts. And I could not go home without some flour tortillas, simply divine and delicious!

Soronatown - A Must-Try for Sonora-Style Tortillas in Long Beach!If you love authentic Sonora-style tortillas, this is the place to be! These flour tortillas are everything they should be--large, thin, stretchy, and with a slightly sweet flavor that makes them stand out.All tacos come topped with fresh cabbage, spicy chile de árbol salsa, avocado salsa, and are garnished with sliced radish and lime. I ordered the tripa taco, which was perfectly crispy and not greasy at all, and the steak taco, which was incredibly flavorful--a solid 10/10!I also tried the Chivichanga, a small burrito wrapped in a homemade flour tortilla and filled with shredded beef (or chicken), simmered with tomatoes, Anaheim chile, jack, and cheddar cheese. It was packed with flavor and the tortilla was just amazing.To drink, I had the coconut horchata--absolutely refreshing and another 10/10. All of their salsas and condiments were bursting with flavor. I even bought a pack of their specialty tortillas and a bottle of their signature hot sauce to take home!The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the prices were reasonable. Parking is convenient, with a nearby structure and street parking available.I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Mexican food!

Ambiant and solid spot but just not vegetarian friendly. There are 2 veggie options and we got the corn tostada (since their flour tortillas have lard). The tostada was good - tasted very authentic but the serving size is tiny. I think this place has options for non vegetarians but was a miss for us. The hostess was friendly and was kind enough to let us know about the tortillas which I appreciate.

Amazing food. The consistency is there. Whether it's in their burritos, tacos, sauces, guacamole, and service. A small quaint place but bigger than the downtown Los Angeles location.

Long Beach is soooo happy to have Sonoratown join the neighborhood! We can't get enough of the soft flour tortillas. A couple unique and outstanding items they offer are the Caramelo and Lorenza.The Caramelo includes their large flour tortillas to cradle beans, cheese, avocado, cabbage, salsa, your choice of meat and a grilled poblano chile for an extra $1.25, which is worth it! It's like a loaded quesadilla, very hearty and filling. The Lorenza consists of a crispy corn tortilla topped with baked cheese, choice of meat, avocado, salsa and cabbage. It's like a tostada, but the crispy cheese and tortilla with fresh ingredients make this small-ish handheld so scrumptious. As for the meat, I imagine everything is delicious, but I usually get the costilla (grilled steak) or the cabeza (head) and they have been so tender, smoky and juicy.I'm in love with their hottest salsa, the chiltepín. I don't care that it's .50 cents. Worth every penny! I also enjoyed the horchata they make in-house. I believe they use coconut milk. It's creamy and not too sweet! Plenty of tables inside and there are a few tables in their front patio. Super casual, pay at the register setting. Friendly and fast service!

I've heard around town that this is the best Mexican food in Long Beach -- y'all they weren't lying! I left feeling hella hella satisfied. I can't wait to go back. This is my new go-to spot! I've finally found a place that is giving San Francisco Mission Burrito quality vibes!Food -- handmade flour tortillas y'all! the Caramelo left me wanting another one. The meat (costilla) was tender and had a really good taste from the mesquite woodfire. All the flavors went really well together and it was juicy, crunchy, soft all at the same time. The Lorenza with chorizo wasn't greasy at all -- savory, crunch, spicy. Very similar to a volcán at a taco stand.The vibes were vibing! Good music, cultural decor, bright colors everywhere, taco books to peruse, history about the space to read while in line. Quality service, super fast but also really nice and answered all my questions and offered good options for my first time. They even bring you your food to your table! Parking -- it's DTLB so not a ton of street parking but plenty of nearby parking structures that are free the first 2 hours. One is across the street!

There is no shortage of amazing taco spots in Long Beach and Sonoratown is one of them. The item that I will be coming back for that I can't get anywhere else in the Cabeza Lorenza. The serving size is generous, the meat is perfectly cooked, and the hot sauces are delicious. Service is quick and friendly. Stop by here to kick off or end your DTLB bar crawl.

We wanted to try a little different flavor yet couldn't be outside in the cold and rain waiting for our order. Luckily these folks were open until 10p so it gave us ample opportunity to try a couple of quesadillas and tacos. Quesadillas are two small tortillas stuffed with meat so for some of us it may be different than what we are used to. Have no fear the flavor is powerful and impossible to miss. The spicy sauce is spicy but in a great way. The staff there are helpful and friendly which is always nice when you're trying something for the first time. You'll love the bright environment they've built

What is the big deal about this place....Well, I'll tell you :)The food is top notch delish! I ordered the Costilla Burrito 2.0 and two tacos, one with CHORIZO and the other with TRIPA along with a Victoria Beer. The food was very flavorful and totally made fresh... and of course the beer was refreshing lol I ordered extra of the non spicy green sauce which I think was a cilantro guacamole sauce, and loved it. To be honest I didn't end up using the sauces because my food was so good without any already. The service was just great. Immediately greeted and helped. Since it was my first visit I did have a few questions and the young man working the register was so helpful, he didn't mind answering my questions along with giving me his best recommendations. I wish I would have remembered his name because it's great employees like him that will keep that customers coming back. I'm such a supporter of this restaurant, I'll definitely be a returning customer and will be brining my family and friends to try. Ohhhh and I'll also be rocking my Sonoratown TeeShirt around LB, yes I bought a Tee to support them and you should too! If you're in the LB area I recommend this spot, pickMe up and I'll join you ;) Street meter parking is available and I also know the parking lot up the street also offer 2 hours free parking #YoureWelcome Enjoy SYOY!

So, so, so fire! I've been a fan of their LA location and I feel so fortunate to now have one closer to me. The tortillas are what make it. They're so fresh and chewy and you can even purchase them to take home. The menu is streamlined but has just enough offerings. I always order the Burrito 2.0 with costilla although you can also choose from pollo, chorizo, cabeza, tripa and poblano chile with pinto beans. While it's a bit of a bummer that you have to pay for a side of their avocado salsa, it's worth it. I also wish the burritos were a little bit bigger. If you're not that hungry you'll be fine but otherwise you may want to add one more item. The bean and cheese burrito is an extra tasty option and only costs $4. They also offer to-go packs for gatherings at a fair price.
