It takes a lot to get me to write a review, but these carne asada fries were worth every word.
Aurora Avenue isn’t exactly known for being a culinary hotspot—it’s a little sketchy, to be honest. But sometimes, the best food comes from the most unexpected places. This spot is one of those hidden gems.
I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical. After picking up my order, it took me about 30 minutes before I could finally dig in. Anyone who’s had carne asada fries knows they’re best when fresh, and I thought for sure they’d be a letdown by the time I got to them. But to my surprise, when I took that first bite, the fries were still perfectly soft and warm, the carne asada was tender and juicy, and the flavor—wow. It was unlike anything I’ve had in Washington.
I have friends in California who always rave about how much better their carne asada fries are compared to anything we have up here. They could never quite explain what made them so special, but now I get it. The seasoning, the tenderness of the meat, the balance of flavors—this place has truly nailed it.
If you’re in the area, don’t pass this spot up. It may not be fancy, but the food is absolutely worth it. You won’t regret it.
P.S. The picture doesn’t do justice to just how incredible the food really is.
