What's in that marinate?! I've never seen it like that!

The carne asada around CA is arrachera (flank meat) which is marinated in agave tequila, salt, black pepper, fresh lime, pepper flakes.

The carne asada and adobada tacos are so good that even asian people like it!! I google'd Tacos el Gordo and found this funny pic!

LOLOL!!! Fair point. Fair point.
I have regularly wrestled grizzly bears, de-antlered moose, and clubbed baby seals in my yoof

Actually there is a great burger place in Quebec City - where I lived for a couple years - called Chez Victor. They were awesome 'gourmet burgers' and they had cheapish pints of Boreale to go with it! Regardless of the decent quality of places like 5 guys and In/Out they still have the meh taint of fast food to me, so I don't go all out... save room for more pints afterwards that way too

I've only ever eaten at Five Guys twice. It's way too greasy for my tastes.
In-n-Out wins on the quality of their veggies (and the free chili peppers).

But really, my preferred guilty pleasure is Mexican food from the local 24/7 taco stand.

Wait, what free chili peppers?
It's been quite a while since I've gotten Mexican, but this Mexican place near my high school was rather good.

Actually, it might just have been specific to the area I was in at the time. I stopped somewhere out in the desert, east of San Diego, on the return leg of a cross country road trip and decided to get one last burger from In-n-Out. While I was waiting for my food, I noticed that some people had little yellow chili peppers on their trays. I asked the lady behind the counter about them, and she gave me 4 of them.

No In N Out's in New York , but Five Guys is pretty Godlike.

But you know what beats both? 53rd and 6th Halal in New York City

I really want to open an In & Out on the East Coast. However, from that picture, I REALLY want to try Pollo Tropical first.
