TrueWhiteBoy Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 ...preferably a lot of them since I've never cooked it before I was able to get some great feedback on some polish food a while back so I thought I would see what you guys can come up with again I'm looking to cook up some carne asada (and possibly chicken) for some tacos/burritos and would like some suggestions for a good one. I have at my disposal a little weber style grill, oven, electric stove, and a time limit of 2.5 days I don't really need anything authentic, just tasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0ebert Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I like buying carne asade from grocery stores where they only speak spanish. There is a new place in RSM by the post office that does a good job with polla asada and carne asada. Other than that, my buddies always get the meat in Santa Ana, not sure of the name though. Just make sure the carne is really rare and you'll be good! Even the Traders Joes stuff is pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Nice, I'll have to check that out I also remember hearing that Northgate market had some I was really looking for more of a recipe, but since it's a day before I might just have to buy pre-marinaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoDork Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Somewhat local to you: El Toro Carniceria-Meat Shop http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-toro-carniceria-meat-shop-santa-ana 1340 W 1st St Santa Ana, CA 92703 (714) 836-1393 You'd be surprised also with your local grocery store...in HB i usually get my carne asada from the albertson's meat counter...its more the people working in the back then where you get it. When i went to CalPoly Pomona, nothing beat the carniceria's in Pomona!! *yum* ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0ebert Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Oh damn! That's exactly the place my friends always go to. Their polla asada is amazing... It's really not worth the effort in making it yourself when it's so cheap to buy the stuff pre-marinated...Real steaks are a different story.

Knight705 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 this makes me hungry for some.... i think i will get some this saturday for dinner... hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hahaha, alright alright, due to convenience and suggestions I decided to try Stater Brother's and they were able to supply me with the marinade. It's been marinading since 6 yesterday So I'm hoping this turns out well, I'm definitely going to have to try out the places you guys suggested though, they all sound good. I actually used to live on 1st and Main in Santa Ana, hahahaha so I think I know of the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoDork Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 If i had to wing it i'd do - OJ, Beer, squeezed limes, Salt & Pepper, one sliced onions, chopped cilantro, and any random spices i had in house. ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Mmmmm, may have to do some experimenting soon Ah I hope it doesn't rain, I've got a little firepit in the backyard that I was planning on using. What're some good sides to serve? I've got chips, avocados, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, cheddar cheese, spicy jack cheese, tortillas, and debating a type of bean to pick up Any other good last minute suggestions?

SnoDork Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Get a couple green peppers & red peppers & onions, slice them up & grill em up!! OH maybe some of those large green onions. Also if you have a rice cooker, get some white/brown rice, cook it in chicken/veggie broth instead of just plain water, a tab of butter and some salsa...and BAM spanish rice!! ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
