At Sonoratown, the tortilla is the tasting menu.
Teodoro Diaz-Rodriguez and Jen Feltham cook the flour tortillas of San Luis Río Colorado on East 8th Street, and the guide gives the whole meal a single $.
This chapter starts in the guide’s lowest price band, a single $, with a line of people on the sidewalk to prove the point.
On 8th Street in the bustling Fashion District, Sonoratown's colorful storefront and open kitchen draw lines of diners following the intoxicating perfume of mesquite wood smoke.
Teodoro Diaz-Rodriguez and Jen Feltham celebrate San Luis Río Colorado: paper-thin flour tortillas made with heritage Sonora wheat and rendered lard, charred mesquite-grilled costilla beef, and spicy chiltepín salsa.
Casual, energetic, and joyous; the comal sizzles constantly as fresh tortillas puff up and chivichangas are wrapped with rapid speed for eager diners.
Holding a Michelin Bib Gourmand, Sonoratown is an undisputed Los Angeles culinary treasure, proving that true flour tortilla mastery is an elite culinary art.
