Fri Mar 10 16:17:44 -0800 2006 0 jaydee 1 439131 Where have you had these before, what city and maybe a description?

Wed Mar 15 21:33:27 -0800 2006 439167 0 OhSweetJane 2 439235 well it ain't quite the same, but any peruvian place has lomo saltado, which is pretty darn similar looking. Fri Mar 10 21:19:58 -0800 2006 439131 0 smoghat 3 439311 If you took out lomo saltado's soy sauce flavor and then added guacamole, orange cheese, sour cream and red salsa. :-D Elmomonster's suggestion of Alertos in Fountain Valley is right on. There's an Alberto's in Wilmington (1304 W. Pacific Coast Highway), and they call them "Superfries". Not as fresh or tasty as Alertos. Sat Mar 11 12:50:41 -0800 2006 439235 0 petradish 1 439236 They might not be officially on the menu, but I'm sure you could get some great ones at Carnitas Michaocan, up above Chinatown on North Broadway and 19th. They do a great carne asada (though I prefer the al pastor roasting on their spit -- now that would make a great dish as well) and also serve the occasional burger and fries, which are good fresh from the fryer. But what is exceptional about this place is their dark reddish-brown salsa roja (salsa negra?) -- deeply spicy, hot, complex, and utterly delicious. See Bandini's recent review on his blog, "The Great Taco Hunt." Fri Mar 10 21:24:21 -0800 2006 439113 0 nosh
