"José Morales and his son, also named José Morales, opened a taco cart (hence the namesake, La Carreta) in a Compton tire shop seven years ago. The Morales family upgraded to a truck in 2023 and a permanent Whittier home in 2024, where they turn out some of Southern California’s best Mazatlán-style tacos. If heading to the truck, it can typically be found parked on the northernmost border of Long Beach, where it serves chorreadas, vampiros, and tacos de carne asada. Check its Instagram for location updates." - Mona Holmes
