One thing I miss most about living in Southern California is the carne asada fries. Every visit to family in Los Angeles includes at least one stop to indulge in this bi-cultural mashup of fries, cheese, guacamole and finely chopped carne asada.
Some varieties include pico de gallo, beans or sour cream. No matter the toppings, carne asada fries are on my list of go-to comfort foods.
The dish has its origins in San Diego. A restaurant in the California city claims to be the first to have introduced the finger-food dish in the late 1990s. And for that I am grateful.
When I moved to the Rio Grande Valley 14 years ago, carne asada fries were difficult to come by. I just figured the food item was not a Texas thing.
After moving to San Antonio earlier this year, I stopped by Los Balitos on the far West Side and was stunned to see carne asada fries on the menu. I literally said, "Wait. Hold up. They have carne asada fries here?"

That led me to Google, “carne asada fries in San Antonio.” The search results were glorious. The Southern California staple had made its way east – at least to San Antonio. Now, I don't need a three-hour flight to fulfill my craving because there are enough San Antonians who share my love for carne asada fries that they pop up on some menus here.
Some establishments call them sucia fries, which is a little different but still sound amazing. At Big Poppas Tacos, for example, its sucia fries come with your choice of meat, cilantro, onion and sour cream.
I've tried the carne asada fries in San Antonio from a couple of places now, and I have to say that they are pretty good. I know this mashup originated in California, but carne asada fries is very much a puro San Antonio snack.
It’s not the healthiest of meals but you’re not thinking about that while munching on them. In all honesty, these are great after a night of drinking.
But feel free to indulge whenever you like.
Click through the slideshow above to find some of the places that serve carne asada fries — or sucia fries — in San Antonio.
