This is a week of firsts for Miguel’s Jr.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“We just wanted to have fun,” Vasquez said of the new menu item.<\/p>\n
The new carne asada is made with a wet marinade instead of a dry marinade, he said.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Vasquez said fries and churros are not frozen, so the chain can keep its commitment to having no freezers in its restaurants.<\/p>\n
The fries and churro are available for a limited time, but the carne asada will be a permanent menu item, according to Vasquez.<\/p>\n
