The flavor was OK. It could have used a little more flavor for me. Next time, I would add some spice.

Amazing marinade considering how simple it is. Guaranteed that you always have the ingredients you need. Ace!

Very flavorful although a bit strong on the lemon (which may have been my fault since I couldn't find a reference for how many pounds of meat to use with the marinade). I like my meat a little spicier so I think I'll follow the advice of other reviewers and add some chili powder, paprika, and cumin to the marinade. I will also try substituting orange juice for some of the lemon and adding a little orange zest per another reviewer. The meat came out super tender though and is so easy to prepare. I will definitely be making it again.

Sorry, but this is NOT carne asada marinade! In my opinion, Americanized forms of mexican cooking are not very good.

This was really good. I took the advice of others and added a few spices. I had my hubby bbq and we made yummy burritos. Thanks for sharing. I had no idea delicious marinades were that easy. I won't buy any at the store ever again!

This recipe is authentic. I had a friend of mine who is from Mexico tell me that was one of the best I've tasted. Loved it.

I made this on the grill last night, it came out tender and had great flavor! I very rarely put anything on my steak because I want to taste the steak! This marinade only added to the flavor of the steak without overpowering it!

Super easy, fast, and pretty good. I used one whole lemon for the juice. Also, be careful when grilling, the olive oil is flammable!

I made this tonight and it was great! I added cayenne pepper, and cajun seasoning. I did not have fresh garlic so I used a little garlic oil, lemon juice instead of lime, and I didn't have cumin either-and it still turned out awesome.

Good recipe, simple and flavorful. For those with adventuresome tastebuds don't neglect the Dos Equis Negron, or Tequila, both add more depth to the taste and help tenderize lower quality cuts of beef during marination.

Love Carne Asada and with the addition of some fresh orange juice and grated orange rind (both suggestions from friends in Mexico) tastes just like the taco stands!

i will try this again on a better cut of meat. (was given thin cut ny strips). they weren't able to absorb much flavor. but i still have high hopes for this for great fajitas. i used lime instead of lemon and that was good. i also think i will add some red pepper flake next time for some heat.

Marinade was ok, I didn't care too much for it-I used it on a new york strip steak and I didn't eat any of it. But my husband loved it, he ate both his and mine.

This was an alright recipe. I marinated mine overnight, and it almost made the meat have an overbearing olive oil taste.

Love this one. Grill the meat on a high temp on the gas grill. Just a few minutes each side. Excellent Carne Asada.
