Sometimes the craving for what I believe hands down is the best "fast food" carne asada burrito in the valley is more than I can stand.
I try to resist because I know that I will load it up with cheese, sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo. Aside from the pico and avocado I know that everything in large quantities is going to put a hurting on me.
When I do get around to indulging myself, I go to Fausto's.
Doesn't matter what location be it Horizon & College or Horizon Ridge & Eastern they both taste great! The only difference is that the Horizon location can be an absolute madhouse while the Horizon Ridge location is always quite when I go.
The carne asada is always tender. And while my gag reflex has been tested by pieces of grizzle at Robertos, I can based upon experience, confidently chow on a Fausto's burrito as I have yet to find anything nasty in it.
Another comfort is that it is not laden with greasy residue it's cooked in and will not blow out the bottom of the burrito as you approach the end of it. Nor will it leak through the wrapper all over your shirt.
When I am in the carne asada feeding frenzy state of mind I can't seem to branch out to the other awesome looking combination plates they sell.
I digress. I have had the carne asada fries which simply cannot be matched by other impostors.
Don't be fooled by the pepsi products. They have Coke in a bottle behind the counter.
Great food and great price.
