Awesome tacos. Sneaking bits from the pot I thouht this was a good but not great recipe, but in a corn tortilla with all the trimmings these are just like what I get from my favorite restaurant. I followed the meat to the letter, but did not make the salsa or onion topping. I will undoubtedly make again, thanks so much for sharing!

I came across this recipe for Carne Asada for our Cinco de Mayo Party. On a whim, I followed the adjustments that Cook4mycrew suggested (using the skirt steak/"flap steak" from Costco.) We let it marinate overnight and threw it on the grill as guests started to arrive. This was easily as good as the best Carne Asada I have had in restaurants, or that friends have picked up pre-marinated from the Mexican markets. Since we had fewer guests than we anticipated, we didn't cook all of it. We briefly thought about freezing it and bringing it to a potluck next weekend, but then we decided it was so good we wanted to keep the rest to ourselves!

I followed the recipe as closely as I could. I had tenderloin tips available for the meat so I used it. Before cooking, I pounded the meat down to 1/4" then cooked it to medium on a hot, oiled, griddle. After the pieces were cooked I sliced them into bite size slices. Next time I make these, and it will be soon, I plan on splitting the relish and adding diced tomato to half of it. The roasted vegetable sauce was awesome.

This was a delicious meal. I made it last night and my family loved it. Especially my husband. The roasted veggie puree was delicious and so easy to make. I wanted to use the puree like a salsa and dip chips into it but I didn't have any. Next time. This may be my new salsa recipe as well as taco sauce.

Really good. Made these for a few neighbors and the adults and kids ate them up! A keeper.

This is fantastic! We make this all the time! Very flavorful and gets rave comments from guests as well. We slice up the flank steak into 1" strips before we marinade it. The accompanying tomato/onion relish is very tasty, too. A time-saving tip is to make a larger amount of the dry ingredients and save it. We also slice a LARGE amount of flank steak at once, place into Ziploc bags a freeze. The meat marinades as it freezes and as it thaws. Great to have at the ready since this is so popular at our house. Making it for Cinco de Mayo as always!

Followed the marinade as written and it was EXACTLY what I wanted to eat! Cooked the meat on the BBQ grill and served with fresh guacamole, fresh pico and a lime cilantro rice. Loved these so much, can't wait to make them again.

Quite bland and not worth the time and effort to put into it. I tried a different recipe that was less time consuming and a lot more tasty. I thought with the extra ingredients that this recipe would be even better but instead it was a disappointment.
