The chimichanga at Aguacates starts with a choice: Shredded beef, chicken pastor, or steak carnitas. Try the last, cubes of well-seasoned steak wrapped in a large flour tortilla with refried beans and Monterey Jack cheese, the whole shebangachanga then deep-fried to crisp splendor.

Now that's a chimichanga, and it's yours for just $6.95 at this extremely popular Doral lunch spot (same owner as Ernestos's Taco Shops).
