Part 0.7: Alejandros

There's really so much to write about Alejandros. I think I've gone there at least once a week for the past 3 years.

This place has all the hallmarks of a top-notch eatery.

• no flashy lights
• open 24 hours
• cheap cheap food
• sketchy location
• most patrons and workers speak only spanish

But best of all they have two of the greatest culinary delights I have ever encountered, and I've encountered a lot: the "California" Burrito and Carne Asada Fries.

I don't know why its called a "California" Burrito, but I don't care. Its delicious. Its a carne asada burrito but with french fries inside. Words cannot possibly come close to describing it, but I'll try anyways. Carne Asada burritos are delicious by themselves, but the addition of crunchy fries provides a new crunchy texture. The addition of the extra starch in the fries allows the liquid-y hot sauce/salsa to be absorbed better. It doesn't have the guacamole of a carne asada burrito, but that can be amended.

The Carne Asada Fries really is genius. It takes the best of a carne asada burrito and a giant plate of fries. Its a plate of carne asada nachos, but with fries instead. Its probably one of the most unhealthiest things to eat, but we can't resist.

We're such fatties.

Ratings:
Location: 4/5 - I have to dock it cause it isn't exactly is the best part of town, but there's always parking and its open 24 hours a day.
Price: 5/5 - The Carne Asada Fries are expensive at $6.25, but the burritos are a steal at $4.
Taste: 5/5 - One of the standards that I judge all food by. Perfect.
Atmosphere: 2/5 - Well, except for the feeling that its definitely authentic hole in the wall Mexican food, its not a very good atmosphere and definitely not a good place to eat at.

Total: 16/20 - It lost points since its not a place to go to and eat at, but for the last 3 years, my favorite Mexican food place. And I know Mexican food.
