I've always been a fan of Trader Joe's but in the past, the only one in the city was on Geary. The location is a bit out of the way for us so we don't make it out there often. However, now there are two new locations that are much closer: Stonestown and Daly City's Westlake. Today I went to TJ in Stonestown and tried some out some new items (not necessarily new in TJ, but new to me). I'm going to try to document the items I've tried - as a reminder for myself.
Carne Asada-$6.99 per pound
It is marinated beef sirloin, used primarily for tacos. I used it as stir fry and it works just as well. The taste is peppery and a hint of lemon/lime. The beef is tender. The taste for me was "just OK." I was mistaken to think that that the meat was already sliced (as per the package) but they are not. They come in 3-4 chunky slices in the package. I am not fond of cutting already marinated meat because I always feel like all the marinade is gone by the time I'm done cutting. That may be just me.
Organic Strawberry Lemonade - $3.29
Okay, probably not as good as the strawberry lemonade from Cheesecake Factory but this is close. The juice is not too sweet nor too sour. I can taste the strawberry which is a plus. Contains 21% juice.
