Could probably only get down 1/4 of that.

Where they sell those, how many people is that plate supposed to feed?

I'm afraid that, this would make the fries soggy as fuck.

There are fries in there somewhere?

nice

>>3883819
If it was at a bar? Yes.
If not intoxicated, no.

fuck yes. The place that makes it awesome nearby (Tacos Las Estrellas) uses nacho cheese instead of shredded cheese and combined with shredded carne asada...it's definitely a colon clogger of joyous things.

Where do you get those dude?

Man, they kinda look like the kebab meals you get in Europe where they throw meat, fries, salad and cover it all with sauce and it's god-tier food especially when you're traveling or drunk. I can't get that here in Canada :( There's no Mexican/tex-mex food here either :/

>>3883850
never had them before until I went to LA with some coworkers to drink (we all dena). Go there after and order 3 boxes. best drunk food ever

A lot of hole in the wall taco joints will usually have them. Best bet I can recommend is use a restaurant search site like yelp.com and search for Carne Asada Fries, and you should see a list near where you live that serves em.

Carne asada nachos are better.

I'm all about the papas nachos al pastor.

>>3883877
I just looked for them and basically you can't get them here. You can get poutine fries at best. I need to go to LA this year :P

>>3883908
Taco bell in canada does this, or if you can find a decent mexican restaurant they can probably just make you this.

Damn that sucks amigo. :(

If you're desperate to replicate the taste, it's fairly doable. Just start with some frozen french fries and prep em how you like, then lay em on a plate, just like nachos. Then layer nacho cheese, minced onions, chopped tomato and cilantro (or just pre-made salsa if you're pressed for time) mixed with marinated flank steak grilled and chopped. Then just pour all of that over the fries and dig in. It'll be some work, but that's essentially what Carne Asada fries are.

That seriously looks incredible. That sauce doesn't look like ordinary salsa. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

>>3883944
Yeah but Taco Bell kills it with that shitty "cheese", making it terrible and not worth eating.

>>3885772
Samefagging. Can any Californians identify the sauce?

>>3886500
pico de gallo, or some just call it salsa fresca
it's basically tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro

fuck. carne asada fries are so damn good.

>>3883948

Ooo another important thing I forgot to mention. This may vary for your tastes, but I strongly recommend making the fries as crispy as possible if you're going to be making it yourself. With all of the extra stuff (especially the salsa/pico de gallo), the fries are going to get soggy very quick. Best way to keep them crispy for longer is to cook them crispier than you would a normal fry. Then again, I kinda like mine all mashed together with glorious cheesy meaty salsy goodnes.....

Excuse me, I believe Viva Tacos Las Estrellas is getting some more of my money.

If in socal hit up Albertos for these, also their flying saucer. It essentially a tostada but with a fried puffy flour tortilla and there very big.

>>3883819
what, guac and no sour cream? do you even carne asada fries?

if its the same thing as a Taco Chip I can get here in some places in Ireland, and it looks like it is, they fucking yes!!!

>>3886586
No dude, It's all about Tommy's In OB. They have the best mexican ever. They used to be call "Tommy's Tex-Mex", and if you google them that is what they come up us, but the sign in front says different. They are so cheap and so goddamn amazing.

San Diego style "mexican food" > All other imitators.

>>3886586

>>3886935
The best Mexican food in the greater San Diego area is either El Indio or Jaliscos down in IB. And the best pizza in all of southern California, bar fucking none, is Bronx Pizza.

>implying bacon chile cheese jalapeno fries with ranch isn't the best food to give you the worst shits

>>3886586
god damn, i havent been to albertos in a long ass time.
maybe i should go there tomorrow.

>>3886586
>>3886935
>best mexican in socal
>not king taco
>i seriously hope

>>3886976
ive also heard good things about lucha libre. never tried it myself though

>>3883819
Oh SURE I would! Potatoes would go great with steak and salsa.

They WOULD get a bit on the moist side, but it'd all work out.

>>3887100
Lucha Libre is good, if a bit kitschy and tourist-y as of late, but Jalisco's is still the best Mexican food I've ever had in SoCal.

>>3886937
Tex-Mex > All

>not carne GUISADA

fuck you all

>>3888072
I want carne guisada now.
