arrachera / arr-ah-CHAIR-ah / skirt steak
A popular choice for tacos al carbon stalls or on top of chilaquiles, arrachera is what we call skirt steak (inside skirt), usually marinated or tenderized via machine. It’s also usually the main cut in carne asada, although that’s a little more north Mexico and not so much Mexico City. You might also see this referred to as falda, which literally translates as “skirt.”
