Fajita Pete's is a franchise with a new location on Gosling. It is takeout and delivery only. We decided to give them a try other night for a family dinner. We got the fajita trio, which is more than enough for three people. It's a complete dinner--beef, chicken and shrimp fajitas, with guacamole, pico, cheese and salsa. The sides are included--we got refried beans, rice, chips and queso, and churros for dessert. For $29.95 it's a good deal and very easy to order.
We got everything we ordered, and it was ready in about 15 minutes. Most of the food is what I would call competent--very edible and up to standard for Tex-Mex, which is highly available in this area. The refried beans were a bit of a disappointment--very runny, more like a somewhat thick bean soup. Tortillas were a little chewy, but plenty of them. The condiments were fine (no sour cream, which was missed). The chicken fajitas were done but not overdone. The shrimp were good and had a decent snap. Chips were OK, and you got a lot of them--equivalent of 3 bowls. Queso was fine, white cheese with big chunks of pepper. The churros traveled well--crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle, with a nice honey dipping sauce.The real standout was the beef fajitas. Tender and juicy with great flavor. I don't usually like beef fajitas because most places serve them tough. Not here! I would be back for more of those.
Overall a very generous meal for a good price, with very good service. Glad we tried it.
