As many of you may know - I graduated from UCSD (without honors): home of the Padres, Pacific Beach, beautiful women, but more importantly
Carne Asada Fries. Don't laugh - I'm serious. I often say I'm going to San Diego to visit my college friends, but really 55% of the reason lies within that succulent mix of french fries, cheese, carne asada, sour cream and guacamole. To top it all off, the red indistinguishable salsa is out of this world!
Every night .... err, I mean... some of the nights when I wasn't successful with the women, I really didn't care, because the thought of Carne Asada Fries would put a grin on my face from ear to ear.
"What?!?! You don't want to engage in a naked pillow fight with me tonight? Whatever."
And off I'd go skipping to the nearest Roberto's, Ramone's, El Cotixan's, you name it. They were my best friends. I'd call them Bertos, Coti and I'd order and eat and know that no other women could truly satisfy me in the same way. I'd poke it, play with it, talk to it before each bite, 'you're naughty, yes you are', before shoveling it into my mouth.
Ladies and Gentleman of the Bay Area of Northern California, I have great news: My friend,
the Reverend, has convinced a San Jose burrito shop by the name of
Mondo Burrito to start making Carne Asada Fries and California Burritos (carne asada, french fries). I have already tested it and have given my approval. Aesthetically, they haven't mastered the art yet as you can tell by comparing the pic below with the one from above, but the taste will fulfill your needs.
The one drawback? Mondo's is going to charge somewhere in the $8 range for the fries, which is absolutely unheard of in San Diego. Most San Diegans would never pay more than $6, but, BUT, Mondo's is using fresh Guac - so I guess there's your $2 worth. Plus, everyone in the Bay Area who created
this thread on Yelp, I'm sure, would happily pay the extra $2 and save the $200 on a plane ticket to San Diego. That is, until another Mexican restaurant starts offering it.
Thank you Mondo! Because of you, I will now lose touch with all my friends in San Diego. Goodbye guys and gals, I already don't remember your names. I've posted some of your pictures below in remembrance. I'll probably miss that one girl on the left. And that guy on the right with the blonde hair.....
Sincerely,
Kevin L.

P.S. Goodbye Whale's Vagina - I'll miss you too.
Have I written about Carne Asada Fries yet? Oh yeah, twice this year. I sound like Tucker in There's Something About Mary, "Have you ever been to say, Santiago, Chile?!?" "Twice this year!" Anyway, I spoke to 'Steve', the owner of Mondo Burrito in San Jose, and he's only introducing the Carne Asada Fries and California Burritos as a Saturday special. Curses! He says they need to sell about 60 for him to introduce it as a permanent menu item. So for the love of God, please go in droves on Saturday!!!!
