For a lot of San Diegans, carne asada is the taco that decides whether a taqueria earns a second visit. Ours keeps the formula classic so the steak can lead.
What's in it
The steak is marinated, grilled and piled onto a handmade corn tortilla made in-house. Street-style toppings finish it: onions and cilantro for crunch and freshness, guacamole for richness, and salsa verde for a tangy kick. A Carne Asada Taco is $7.99.
$1.99 every Tuesday
All day on Tuesdays, carne asada joins pollo asado, carnitas and al pastor as one of four tacos priced at $1.99. It's the best night to order a round of each and compare them side by side. Get the details on our Taco Tuesday page.
