Loreto's Fried Turkey

Loreto 's is a Compton Take-out spot specializing in fried turkey and served turkey dinner. The operation is in a small, modest room with charm, owned and operated by Truthahn-Prodigy Joe Loreto since 2003. Whatever is the category of the place that is Loreto 's, that is the authentic No-B.S. version of it; I know authentic when I see it, and I know B.S. when I smell it. I looked at some turkeys, both monster birds with glittering copper skin, which brought me to skip the rest of the summer and bring Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I don't have time machine, and I'm not one who needs a whole turkey in June. Luckily, Loreto 's also offers her delightful Cajun-baked fried turkey on a plate carved as turkey dinner, cut and gathered in sandwiches, or chopped into tortillas as tacos. Mr. Loreto is a friendly and avuncular operator who wears his chef 's whites (including a Tonque Blanche) while he's in his store. He will speak transparently about his cooking processes and ingredients, not that you will ever be able to replicate it yourself: Joe knows more about Brattruthühner than I knew in my life. He fries birds as small as 12 pounds and as large as 25 pounds, and always in peanut oil. While Mr. Loreto is chicano, his wife is black, and the recipes used here are a combination of his and her, confuse the soul food of the old Compton with the Mexican appetites and develop culinary sensibilities of the new Compton. Turkey Taco here is excellent. Where other turkey tacos are made in Compton and South L.A. with ground turkey that could be just as lightly ground beef, Loreto 's uses some of the best cut turkeys you have 'll: luscious, savory, with a juicy texture and mouthfeel from a combination of white meat, dark meat and skin. This taco has a warm, grilled tortilla with salad and chopped tomatoes in it as most black tacos do in this microregion. Even better than Loreto's turkey taco is her Turkey taco with soul. The tortilla and turkey are the same as used in turkey taco, but without the salad and tomatoes and with the addition of a well seasoned poultry engraving mixed with onions, garlic and peppers with a hot sauce. This is the best turkey taco I had to date, the best of the black tacos I had to date, and one of the food highlights of my summer. Eat tacos. Eat turkey.

My family and I wanted to try roasted turkey for Christmas. So I immediately went to search for fried turkeys nearby. Loretos Fried Turkey was the first to show up. So I looked at the reviews on Google and Yelp, and everyone had nothing to say about the food. So I decided to go on and see what the Rave is about. I called a week before Christmas to make sure I put my order in because I saw that during the holidays this place is really busy. Mr. Loreto himself answered the phone and he said that two days before Christmas come to pick it up. When my daughter and I approached the turkey cluster, we could smell the aroma of fried turkey while we went through the door. I was hungry right now. He was a very nice and pleasant man and gave me instructions on how to reheat the turkey on Christmas morning. So at Christmas I followed the instructions and WOW!!! DIESES TÜRKEY was as good as well and MOIST and PERFECTION!!! My family and I couldn't stop it. Needless to say that our Christmas dinner was a HIT! I would recommend this place to anyone who loves FRIED TURKEY!

Why are people angry when they come to Loretto's late November and the food is sold out? I imagine the same might happen around X-mas and other major holidays as well? This is a small business. Joe's turkey is fantastic. Maybe you should be mad at yourself for not ordering well in advance and not understanding basic supply and demand. Keep the fantastic turkey and sides coming, go Joe.

I met the turkey gold mine. I ordered the turkey soul sandwich and it was so delicious and finger-licking. The turkey is seasoned for perfection. The combination of white and dark chopped turkey meat is pure heaven and do not forget the sauce .. the homemade Gravy. Yummy! I hope you make the pilgrimage to this restaurant... They will smile from ear to ear.
