Description[]
Car-de-Asada is a motorized taco on wheels, with two nacho chips for a spoiler, two lime wedges on each sides of the body, and a bowl of guacamole (or salsa, depending on the color) dip for the engine bay. The driver, fuel tank, and the engine appears to be peeking out from the taco filling, while the exhaust pipes come out from the sides of the taco. The base appears to depict a paper plate.
The casting's name is a play on words, combining "car", "carne asada" and a nod to the casting's designer, Ryu Asada.
The graphics for the initial releases were done by Mario Godoy.
