Carne Asada is so California Mexican. Its strange to me coming from a place where Mexican food is smothered and homey. Mexican food in California is fast and convenient, MexiCali Really much more like street food, taco trucks with tacos and burritos you can eat with your hands. Its different here but its still Mexican so that means its good. Carne Asada is a very thinly cut skirt steak. You can ask them to cut it in the market for you. Make sure you marinate the meat for a long time before you grill.

1/2 teaspoon cumin
3 tbsp brown sugar
