La Carreta Taqueria

Mexican restaurant · Central Almeda

"José Morales has taken his popular Long Beach taco truck and opened a permanent location in Whittier, where fans line up throughout the day for possibly the best carne asada in Los Angeles. Morales learned the craft from his father, coming up as the next generation of Sinaloan-style carne asada taqueros. The modest but well-laid strip mall spot offers a fresh salsa bar to top tacos, vampiros, quesadillas, and chorreadas — a lard-laden specialty — all topped with smoky, wood-grilled steak meat. Don’t worry Long Beach denizens: La Carreta still operates the truck in the city’s northern stretches. — Matthew Kang, lead editor" - Eater Staff
