PACIFIC BEACH – A new restaurant recently opened in Pacific Beach with a truly binational flavor, serving food from south of the border while maintaining a solid Southern California vibe.
Taconora — the name a mash-up of taco and Sonora — had its grand opening on March 7, and the fast casual eatery at 956 Garnet Ave. definitely has a distinctive atmosphere.
The taquería, located in the former space of Smash and Stack Burger, is just three blocks from the beach and based solidly within prime San Diego real estate. However, its owners and chefs have ties to the Mexican state of Sonora, located east of Baja California and due south of the Arizona border.
Like many eateries in Mexico, Taconora’s menu is centered around flame-grilled meats. The offerings include beef burritos (shredded and red chile); various tacos, including grilled steak, pork belly, chicken, and ribeye; and also taco pizzas with a choice of chicken, grilled steak, and pork belly toppings.

Sonoran-style flour tortillas are typically served, but corn tortillas are available upon request.
Although grilled meats are the restaurant’s specialty, there are a couple of options for those who don’t eat meat — bean and cheese burritos and veggie tacos.
The eatery also offers freshly made guacamole, beans that are slow-cooked with pork fat and red chiles, and a salsa bar with ten freshly made salsas.
Co-founder Renata Vázquez has previously said that although this is the first restaurant to operate under the Taconora name, there are also four other taquerías under the same ownership operating in Sonora under a different name.
Vázquez is also a co-founder of family-owned Tyche Food & Beverage Consulting, a San Diego company that helps Mexico-based food and beverage companies enter the U.S. market.
Although Taconora’s Pacific Beach restaurant only opened a little over a month ago, the owners have already said that they’re looking to expand the concept to North County and Arizona.
But for now, Pacific Beach remains the only place in the U.S. where you can get Taconora’s distinctive Sonoran-inspired tacos, burritos, and salsas.
