At Vaqueros, the carne asada fries combine a bed of hot fries with seasoned steak pieces, cheese, guacamole, and crema. The shop is known more generally for its carne asada, so the same flavorful meat that goes into burritos finds its way onto the fries as well.[2] Portions run large with an emphasis on hearty, filling comfort food over precise presentation. Longtime patrons describe the carne asada fries as one of the dishes that keeps them coming back on late nights and nostalgic visits.[2]
