Fajitas and 'Ritas - A Little Bit About a Lot of Things A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

April 16, 2014 Fajitas and ‘Ritas

Fajitas and ‘Ritas was established in 1989. It sits on West Street, just around the corner from the Opera House.

We stopped in for lunch on Saturday afternoon. It has a different vibe in the afternoon – there are more families that come in, as opposed to a Friday or Saturday night when the place really comes alive.

The restaurant is casual, with white paper covering the tables and a roll of paper towels at every table.

I love the decor here, different artists have come in and painted murals on the walls in bright colors. Fajitas and ‘Ritas has an outdoor, backyard, neighborhood-y, casual place to meet your friends out kind of feel.

There are plenty of seats at the bar if you just want to stop in for a drink, but you would be missing out on the good food!

Fajitas and ‘Ritas serves up Texas cuisine – they serve fajitas, smoked bbq, quesadillas, nachos, and tequila wings (there’s tequila in the marinade and the sauce!).

The portions are generous! For $7.71, I got a chicken and cheese quesadilla. The chicken had a little bit of a kick to it, really nicely seasoned.

How do you go to a place called Fajitas and ‘Ritas and not get a margarita right? They have over 25 types of tequila, a house margarita, 8 specialty margaritas and you can even make your own margarita. The bartender makes a stiff drink! Above is the frozen raspberry margarita – yum!

And how could you not try the fajitas? Here is the steak fajitas – for $9.35 you get a sizzling plate of perfection. I wish that you could smell these! They come with flour tortillas and a trio of condiments (guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream all made fresh in house). The service was good – our waitress was chatty and personable. Our food came out quickly and our water glass was always full.
