I frequent places like La Hacienda and Los Ocampo and have not seen fajitas on either of their menus so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I can't remember whether I've had them at A La Salsa, but I've seen them on their menu and most of what I've had there was pretty good. Not amazing, but not embarassing, either. I haven't been to A La Salsa's big sis, but I'm guessing they would have it, too. ~TDQ Mon Nov 09 11:41:29 -0800 2009 5167512 12005 The Dairy Queen 1 5167761 not fajitas (as TDQ notes that's tex-mex)-- but if you take your friend to los ocampos i bet he'd love their alambres. ten, count, em, ten(!!! 5 double stacks of 2) soft corn tortillas covered in delicious peppers and onions, gooey cheese and meat of your choice (i highly rec you get carnitas), garnished with radishes and lime wedges. it's kind of a "screw my diet" type of meal but it sure is *awesome*. he may forget all about these things called fajitas after discovering alambres.

The only place I can think of that has them that isn't a chain is Bar Abilene.

Personally, I'd choose their fish tacos over the fajitas, but the fajitas weren't bad and it's not a chain.

I think I saw them on the menu at Poncho Villa when I was there Saturday. I got the Pozole and it was great.

The tortillas are mediocre but the fajitas taste so good you don't even care and the serving size is so big it's it's like a challenge.

The best part is the salsa - ask for the hot, or you'll automatically get the mild.

They do close at the end of the year but that is due to a lease issue, not quality of food. Still not a premier place if you ask me but solid. Masa might also have them, but I'm not sure.
