Nothing compares to King Taco carne asada, it’s citrusy and moist every single time. I was craving KT but couldn’t leave the house due to COVID19 so I decided to try this recipe. My first try I did it exactly as shown, even though the video does not specify how to cook it for maximum authenticity-it primarily focuses on the marinade. It was too salty, and I love salty food, but it had potential. So I decided to try it a second time WITHOUT the 1TSPS salt that this recipe calls for and it turns out the Mojo Criollo has enough sodium. I also threw the entire flap meat on the Barbie and then chopped it once cooked. It was really good, not exactly KT because it charred a little on the grill so it got that extra flavor that KT meat doesn’t have. Will I try this again? In a heartbeat.

[@thecaffeinefiend]

Wow. Thanks for the update!

[@jlruiz7634]

Would you grill it again, or just follow this recipe without the salt?

[@kngpin48]

king taco is bland! use soy sauce instead of salt

@@DANIELSTv how was it

[@PrettyCoolFriend]

I cried the first time I ate King Taco. The best!

[@tiffanydegoya]

So glad there is a KING TACO 10 minutes away from me whenever I want a fix 😏, but I definitely want to try this, I think I’m gonna try it without the salt like the lady in the comments did ( Daisy P) and see how that goes 👍🏾

[@dizzle639]

Lucky. I miss king taco. Not the same in Sd

[@DANIELSTv]

Update??

[@brandonvogel1127]

Much easier if you put the meat in the freeze for about 20-25 minutes to firm it up, then super easy to slice.

[@johnnyg4886]

I made this recipe yesterday and it was 🔥

[@rosiesaints9138]

I knew who worked there and I can honestly tell you that the secret that no one know is Sunny D or Tampico along with the spices and lemons and also limes. Marinade for at least 2 days. A spoiler for others my touch is either some 🍺 or two shot glasses of tequila into the marinade meat will be so juicy and tender.

[@topdawg2492]

Is it really sunny d?

[@RunsettsBricks]

I’m curious how the horchata is made. Always wanted to make some that tasted somewhat like it but less sweet

[@Tank_Tha_Rottee]

It's funny because I don't remember where I heard it but yeah there is some sort of orange in the recipe too.

[@JR-kv6ez]

@@Tank_Tha_Rottee Oranges are very common in asada recipes.

[@TeamBramchman]

It’s pink Tampico. Wild I know.

Since i moved to Arizona I miss my LA food joints 😩 look even looking for KT carne recipe 😂 now i need El tepeyac machaca recipe 😢

[@johnnycash2860]

What part of LA were you from? I'm from Huntington Park and I moved here to Tucson Arizona back in 2021 ( REGRET IT ) Where in AZ did you move to?

[@TheMDM1956]

I LOVE King Taco!

[@josephmendoza333]

I tried this without the extra salt and it was very similar to the KT recipe . Thanks for sharing 💪🌮

[@AliseSunflower]

I just....love KZbin 🥲 thank you so much for sharing! Appreciate you.

[@nutatu1848]

If someone wondering if it tasted like it yes it dose I just did it and it tasted soo good but I I would probably put less then a cup of mojo criollo if it 1lb but maybe if it 3 or more then 2 cup is good

[@lemonishearty8832]

I'm gonna go get all the ingredients right now

[@310pyro9]

Update please

[@olgasantiago-agirlfriendsguide]

I tried it and it did taste like KT. One suggestion, next time I'm going to follow instruction to chop the meat into cubed pieces and marinate the meat longer. Today I'm making the salsa for tomorrow's tacos.

[@thecaffeinefiend]

Olga, thanks for the heads up! Have you done this recipe again since you first tried it? Did you change anything else? Thanks!

[@EchoSigma6]

That’s it? I imagined they braised beef for a long time with some kind of acid like lime or vinegar. I’ll try this recipe hack. Thanks for the video post.

[@jjoomusic]

How was it

[@pamelaclark3446]

King taco quesadilla love them there's one 10 minute from me always crowded

[@macaholik9789]

No doubt KT flavor, next time I’ll add double the lime.

[@thecaffeinefiend]

Did you actually try this recipe? Does it taste similar to the OG King Taco carne asada?

[@macaholik9789]

I did everything exactly how the video says, but it’s not exactly the KT. It’s 90 percent I say 90 because I also did the red and green salsas. First you have to lock in the salsa flavor the red one being the hardest to balance out

[@christopherlopez3301]

The Caffeine Fiend is is a a good way for us too too I’ll let you know when I’m you know guys I love hope you guys took a a littleness I’ll

[@sintesiz]

If you cook flap meat like in the video it will release liquid and stew the meat, thus making it tough.

[@ivanmcclure8328]

Soooo any suggestions????

[@brendamonrreal7887]

@@ivanmcclure8328 the only way I get it soft is by smashing it with a meat Hamer, then I bearly fry it until it turns a litle gray n remove it from heat asap. The more you cook it the harder it be.

[@davidjd123]

thats why I dont limit my carne asada to just Flap or skirt, u can pretty much use any cut of beef. I like to use round.

[@michaelcastanon7887]

Really close.🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@peterzotti6430]

For a more authentic KT flavor... Try chef merito seasoning and goya vino Blanco cooking wine... But this is pretty close too...

[@krystlin6935]

wait when would you use the seasoning and cooking wine ? please elaborate 😂😅

[@peterzotti6430]

@@krystlin6935 okay so cut your beef up... Season it with chef merito carne asada seasoning and put it in a big gallon zip lock bag... Pour in some Goya vino Blanco cooking wine...

[@kristofernunez1590]

That’s fire !

[@sintesiz]

Just a theory...I think the meat is marinated like in the video, but then it's open flame-grilled (smoked) in steak form. Then put in a bowl and cut up the meat with scissors, this is to keep the released juice in the bowl (this will be a second cooked marinate). Then store it and freeze for 24hrs. Then refry it on the griddle. This is my guess.

[@brendamonrreal7887]

Nope. Is fry with oil. I was just there yesterday. I saw abhnch if oil dripping in the ending of my burrito

[@DANIELSTv]

@@brendamonrreal7887 yes but I also think it’s steamed cooked

[@RickCreating]

Maybe it’s just me but that meat at the end did not look like the same meat from the beginning. The pieces were chopped into way smaller pieces at the end. They weren’t the same cube big pieces. I know for a fact the meat shrinks when cooked but it sure doesn’t break into way smaller pieces.

[@mozangeles81]

Shit tastes nothing like king taco. Just made it after being all excited to taste some king taco lmao not bad but not close to KT sorry homeboy

Nice carne GUISADA. Asada is done over an open flame on the grill...not a griddle.

made it. taste good man. had to marinade it for at least 2 days though for maximum flavage

Did it taste like KT anyone?...I tried using that mojo criollo about 10-15 years ago and to me it did not taste like no KT. I had a garlic and vinegar flavor that I didn't enjoy. King Taco are the best tacos in the world.

the meat is already cooked in the bag at king taco 🤔

[@DyKoreArtAppreciation]

I’m sorry but… I’m pretty sure you want to keep as much air out of a marinated bag as possible??

[@_Refurbished_]

This was pretty good but tasted absolutely nothing like king taco. My theory is marinating their asada with their verde salsa and a little bit of lime. Im trying it tonight to see how it comes out, since there’s zero recipes online to replicate the flavor. Last time I was there, I noticed the asada tasted a lot like the salsa….so it’s worth a shot.

[@user-fx5ol9st3g]

Not a bad recipe, but not similar to KT

[@levicabello]

What ever!!!!! You cant make King Taco Asada by using Chef Merito Marinated suase!! I'm sure that's what King Taco uses for their tacos. By this time Chef Merito must be a very rich man. Get real...!

[@310pyro9]

We need to figure out the secret!

[@bobosorio3473]

Chef Merito is a very good product. However I don't think it's what they used. Chef Merito started their company in 1985 and King Taco has been around a lot longer. When the original owner was a live KT flavor was consistent, the same exact flavor. Meaning that I don't think that he would have changed anything. Since he died, the sons took over and they changed it. Like the tortilla they used now aren't as good as they used to be. They are still bomb though. I really do like the Chef Merito when grilling with charcoal for some asada tacos with cold coronas DELICIOUS!

[@310pyro9]

My uncle personally worked with the owner for a couple of years when he was younger, and he would go to the back and marinate the meat himself. My uncle always wanted to help him out but he wouldn't let anyone see what he actually did. I'm sure he had his procedure in writing and it was discovered after his passing. RIP

[@sergmartinez9905]

Bs. doesnt taste like it :/
