“Carne asada here is always nice and juicy, just full of flavor.”

Has been coming here since skating in front of Hamel's as a kid. The carne asada fries get loaded up generously -- Roger usually grabs a box along with a rum popey (an egg nog drink) and walks to a bench by the beach to relax and eat.
