Other favorites that customers love at El Zarape include the original carne-asada plate, tacos, or burrito, enchiladas, and my favorite is the Aloha burrito. The Aloha burrito includes teriyaki ham, with carne asada, pine apple, and onions. It sounds like a weird combination, but it is actually very delicious. They also have carne asada French fries that are a meal within itself.
