About Sonoratown

Sonoratown makes one of the most important arguments in LA taco culture: that flour tortillas pressed fresh can be as exceptional as corn. Founders Jennifer Feltham and Billie Faircloth import wheat flour from Sonora, Mexico, to press tortillas that are thin, slightly chewy, and taste of grain in a way that commercial flour tortillas do not. The carne asada taco on one of those tortillas with a squeeze of lime and salsa is the entire case for Sonoratown, and it wins decisively.
