5 stars for the delicious carne asada fries, which is a huge portion! 3 stars for the staff who seem disinterested in moving any faster then a snail's pace. I was there on a not very crowded day and waited about 10 minutes after I placed more order to get the food. If you're in the mood for some fries, go here for sure but be prepared to wait.

It was pretty good. The carnitas with the chile verde was better than the carne asada fries.

This place sells fries, loaded fries! Normal times of year, they have Carne Asada fries which are awesome! Great job, scoop of sour cream and scoop of guacamole with shredded cheese all over. Served hot and fresh and not a bad price! About $9 for a box. Great place to get a great treat! The price has gone up since I posted last. They're now $12.99 for the fries. Still taste great!
