Miguel’s Jr. Serves Fries for the First Time

This is a week of firsts for Miguel’s Jr.

New Menu Items

The family-owned, Corona-based chain is serving fries and churros for the first time, and has a new recipe for carne asada, according to president and chief executive officer Javier Vasquez.

Loaded Fries

Miguel’s Jr. began serving loaded fries with carne asada for $13.99 on Wednesday, March 5. They were an immediate best-seller, Vasquez said in a phone interview.

“We just wanted to have fun,” Vasquez said of the new menu item.

New Carne Asada Recipe

The new carne asada is made with a wet marinade instead of a dry marinade, he said.

Loaded Fries Options

Although carne asada is the recommended protein, customers can also order loaded fries with chicken or beef. They also come with a scoop of guacamole, jack cheese, serrano salsa, tomatoes, cilantro, and onions.

Other Options

Fries are also offered in a $12.79 Cali Burrito, made with carne asada, or by themselves for $4.49. The churro, with warm caramel filling, costs $2.29.

No Freezers Used

Vasquez said fries and churros are not frozen, so the chain can keep its commitment to having no freezers in its restaurants.

Availability

The fries and churro are available for a limited time, but the carne asada will be a permanent menu item, according to Vasquez.
