Carne Asada Fries: Make Room for the Crunch
Some days, the craving starts with a taco. Other days, it starts with fries. A forkful of potatoes and savory toppings brings a different kind of comfort to the table, and our menu gives you several ways to follow that craving.
At Tacos Monterrey, the fries section includes Cowboy Fries, Carne Asada Fries, and Carne Asada Hot Cheetos. Start with the name that catches your attention, then ask the team about the toppings and options available that day.
WHY LOADED FRIES ARE SO SATISFYING
The appeal is in the contrast: crisp edges, soft potato centers, and a savory topping in the same bite. A good forkful gives you more than one texture, so the meal stays interesting from the first bite to the last.
Food creator Hajar Larbah of Moribyan explores that idea in her loaded-fries recipes and, more recently, an April 2026 animal-style baked potato. The combinations are different from our menu, but the inspiration is useful: potatoes make a delicious starting point for a meal with plenty going on.
CHOOSE YOUR NEXT FRIES ORDER
If the words carne asada are already your favorite part of the menu, start with Carne Asada Fries. If you are curious about the Hot Cheetos option, ask how it is served and whether its heat level suits you. Cowboy Fries are another choice worth asking about when you want to try something different.
Our published menu names these dishes without listing every topping. The team at the truck can walk you through the details, especially if there is an ingredient you want to add, avoid, or check.
FRIES OR BURRITO? YOU HAVE OPTIONS
The special burrito menu also lists a Carne Asada Fries Burrito and a Carne Asada Hot Cheetos Loco Burrito. If you want a wrapped meal, take a look at those. If you prefer to eat with a fork and choose each bite, stay with the fries section.
Eating with a friend? Consider ordering different dishes so you can compare what you like. Check portion sizes with the team before deciding what to share; everyone arrives with a different appetite.
ENJOY THE FIRST HOT BITE
Fries are best enjoyed promptly, when their texture has the most contrast. Settle in, take a quick picture if you like, and dig in while your order is fresh.
Whether you are following a familiar carne asada craving or trying a new combination, there is plenty to explore. Your next favorite order might start with a fork.
