"In January 2024, Carolina Valenzuela started selling caguamanta (stingray soup) and tacos de caguamanta. The taco de caguamanta is a meal unto itself, heaped with plump shrimp and tender stingray soaked in bichi (soup stock). It’s finished with chopped celery, carrots, cabbage, and thin red onion slices, then sauced with mayonnaise, spicy salsa roja, and even ketchup (a popular topping back home). The recipe comes from her mother, Erica Valenzuela, who has run a successful cart in Ciudad Obregón in southern Sonora for 15 years. In April, Valenzuela moved to a sidewalk stand to the East Rancho Dominguez, an unincorporated area east of Compton (and also called East Compton). Open Thursday to Monday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday." - Bill Esparza
