Downtown Los Angeles is also home to L.A.'s Arts District, Financial District, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, the Theater District, and everything in between. The neighborhood, still dodgy in places, has experienced a culinary renaissance that has rippled through the area, making it a popular dining destination where people come in search of edgy and creative menus that celebrate its eclectic nature. Here you'll find plenty of cozy wine bars, quaint bistros, historical landmarks, ethnic eats, and upscale restaurants that lack pretension.
Paying homage to the Mexican border town where owner Teo Diaz-Rodriguez Jr. grew up, Sonoratown is a Downtown L.A. joint that serves some of the best tacos in the entire city. Handmade tortillas, mesquite wood-fired carne asada, and supercheap prices have made this spot a neighborhood favorite and a must-have on any trip Downtown.
