In every taqueria I’ve ever been in, including Chicago, it’s Carne Asada…
Boo Haighter
But granted, in the mid-90s I was still a white trash hick in central Illinois…but by about 2001 I was ordering carne asada tacos at 2am at Arturo’s on Armitage and Western after a night out on my way home.  Previous Message
In Illinois it’s called skirt steak. In other places it’s called flapmeat.
