4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: December 13 | Eater LA
"A north Long Beach truck that has spawned a brick-and-mortar in Whittier and another truck in Santa Ana, noted for carne asada that the reviewer calls “the best I’ve tasted outside of Mexico” (chef José Morales’ establishments). The chopped steak is grilled gently over a wood and gas fire and is served with minced cabbage, salsa, and avocado in various forms: tacos, larded chorreadas, quesadillas, and toritos — essentially folded tacos stuffed with a roast chile. The reviewer also notes sensory detail: “I love how you get a whiff of that carbón, a necessary element, with every bite,” and praises the steak’s tenderness and “profound beefiness” that sets it apart from many pretenders; for grilled beef on the street this is the reviewer’s favorite. — Matthew Kang, lead editor" - Eater Staff
