I have never even heard of "Carne Asada". Like others have already pointed out, I was reminded of a "doner kebab". When I just looked up doner kebab on Wikipedia to see if it has anything to do with "carne asada" I was extremely surprised to read that doner kebab is not even widely known in the US. I really thought doner kebab was popular all around the world, like pizza.
Americans are really missing out on something, doner is such a great dish and a fantastic fast-food. It took Germany by storm, the first german kebab store opened in the middle of the 70s, and it only took some 10-15 years before you could find them just everywhere and nowadays they have twice the sales of McDonalds and Burger King combined. I think doner kebab is almost as successful as Pizza over here. If I were american, I think I would instantly open a doner kebab shop! ;)
