BTW, if you want to lose the love handles, lose the guac and sour cream. =Bob It is the combination of the ingredients that makes the flavor fantastic. Your suggestion is like going out for a fine steak dinner but telling the restaurant that you want your beautifully grilled steak washed off with soap and water so it is not sizzling and dripping with juices just before they bring it to you. In other words, you do not mind a little dish soap flavor and a few bubbles on your steak Flavor is of the essence for Mexicans like me! It is the Carne Asada combined with perfect refried beans with a little quac and crema and salsa that combined makes for the perfect flavor combination. No beans please.  I've tried a few different places in the last few months and they all are now putting beans in their Carne Asada and Carnitas burritos. WTF, if I wanted a bean burrito I'd order one. |

I'm with Triple A on this one - if I wanted beans, which I never would since I hate beans, I'd get a bean burrito. =Bob |

For me it it does not have a dollop of week old refried beans down the middle, you do not get the fantastic combination flavor that the food ingredients provide. You will fart less without the beans, but it won't taste as good. I hope that everybody knows that "Burrito" is an aside reference to a little donkey dick. |

Guess I'll just stick to eating taco's! ;D The women always tell me, "Remember you always nibble very gently on the end to get it started." Now, I am wondering how you start on a taco.....? I'll have to ask my lady friends on that one. They'll probably say you just bite hard. Little taco's don't matter. It is the burrito that is king. |

I note there was an article in today's fishwrap business section about local products and one mentioned was Ring Of Fire hot sauce. Pretty decent stuff. =Bob |

Last week I had a "carne asada bake" at the Costco (La Mesa).
I was wondering if someone who is an aficionado of Carne Asada could offer a critique, because I am more familiar with fish burritos.

Of course, if one wants real carne asada, one must go to Imperial Valley, although I did have some from some place in CV that came very close. =Bob Otay Farms on the southwest corner of Main and Broadway in Chula Vista has the best carne asada in San Diego. (best chorizo too). As an added bonus, ................ the store is owned by an Aztec family! SORRY but santa fe meats on main st cv is the best in town. has been for longer than otay farms and the chicken is also the bomb. i've lived in CV for 40 years and you can't beat it. now if you were talking fresh flour tortillas i go to otay farms... |

I won't argue with you about CV carne asada because I haven't had enough of it to engage in an argument. But I have to say that IV carne is is the best I've ever tasted. But I will offer this - post the address on here and I'll drive on down and pick some up. =Bob |

Flour tortillas? Who-in-the-heck eats flour tortillas? Their fresh made corn tortillas are the best. Santa Fe Meats is a good place too. ;D |

Santa Fe meats will be on your left a couple hundred yards past the bridge. Just a little farther up the road is Broadway. (the next traffic light). Turn right at the corner of Main and Broadway and Otay Farms is the little green store on your right. Both have great Carne Asada. May or may not be as good as the stuff from the I.V., but then, you don't have to drive as far. |

May or may not be as good as the stuff from the I.V., but then, you don't have to drive as far. Actually I don't. I just pick up some made by The Country Store in HOltville. They sell it at Vons. It's not quite as good as what you can get by driving out there, but it is a long trip just for carne. =Bob |
