LOS ANGELES â The menu was always small at Sonoratown on the outskirts of the Fashion District, and the coronavirus didn t change that.
The critically acclaimed Mexican restaurant still sells tacos and burritos filled with mesquite-grilled beef and chicken, flaky handmade flour tortillas and an awesome coconut horchata that s like an island vacation in a cup.
But the small spot looked like a mini-mart when I visited last week for the first time in more than a year.
Cases of beer and Mexican Coke rested on bars where eaters used to lean. Boxes of tortilla chips covered up art on the brightly colored walls. A counter with random knickknacks blocked anyone from entering what used to be the dining room and patio.
