From burger joints to a French brasserie, a taqueria and a ramen restaurant (!), these restaurants have some of the best fries around.
Crinkle-cut. Shoestring. Belgian. Steak. Wedges, waffle and freakin’ carnival tornado potato. No matter how you slice them, French fries have universal appeal.
Mona’s also offers a more sophisticated, though affordable wine list than you’d find in most burger joints. A well-curated classic rock playlist provides background music. And there’s an expansive outdoor patio.The real attraction, of course, is the food.
It might not look like much from inside or out, but Bob’s is a sensational place for hamburgers , BLTs , corn dogs , Fruity Pebbles milkshakes and, of course, fries.Bob’s offers regular fries to accompany those burgers, but order the incredible Philly Fries and you won’t need anything else. Piping hot fries are topped with a mix of chopped up burger and thinly sliced Philly-style steak, with melted Swiss to take the dish straight over the top. It’s a meal all on its own.
What’s the appeal when it comes to fries? “Duck fat has a higher rendering temperature than other fats, so it crisps the fries beautifully,” chef Morimoto says. “The duck fat incorporates a rich, meaty flavor that you just can’t get from vegetable oil.”Grab a couple of friends and, while you are pondering the menu, order a bowl of the umami-packed Duck Fat Fries, which are lightly dusted with truffle salt.
The sandwich portion of the menu ranges from a burger with whipped blue cheese and fig jam to duck banh mi , and a fried-chicken sando with pickle-brined meat and Calabrian aioli. Everything is executed with confidence, highlighting local produce and farm-raised meats – and everything is served in big portions, so be sure to wear your stretchy pants.These fries are served hot and crispy, with the mineraly potato skin left on, similar to the winning formula at Five Guys.
There’s no shortage of great taquerias in East San Jose, but if you’re thinking about carne asada fries — which we do quite frequently — make a beeline for a Santa Fe Taqueria.
