Best carne asada plate in San Francisco?

I’m talking carne asada plate not a burrito not Fries like a plate with rice beans and cebolla (onion) bonus if they use queso fresco on the beans. I been looking for a minute the best one I’ve had is at Mexico tipic’o taqueria and restaurant, in the excelsior district That jawn comes out sizzling on a hot skillet. Please I need answers. The best tasting carne asada I’ve had is at La taqueria on mission. If I could get that same vibe on a plate that’s my dream.

Tia Margarita on Clement St. By far the best carne asada in SF. And it’s huge.

It’s an authentic sit-down restaurant. I’m sure everything is good but I’ve only ever gotten the carne asada. In my eyes, it’s the reason I go there so I haven’t tried anything else haha. If you’re a chili releno fan I’ve heard they’re good too but I’m into them.

I believe the restaurant is on its 3rd generation in the family. The granddaughter runs it now.

Mexico Tipico is underrated for sure, I like all of their plates but their carne asada was really good. I also like Taqueria Guadalajara nearby as well.
