π Chicago, πΊπΈ Probably the Best Fajita Iβve Ever Had π₯π₯
Iβve always loved Tex-Mex fajitas β maybe because deep down, they remind me of a Chinese stir-fry like pepper beef with onions. Fajitas feature quick-seared beef or chicken cooked with onions, bell peppers, cumin, chili powder, and other spices. Served with warm tortillas, Mexican red rice (cooked with tomato, onion, garlic, and cumin), and topped with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. The magic of a great fajita lies in that savory, wok-fired aroma perfectly balanced by the tangy, fresh toppings β like an Eastern dish kissed with Latin American flair. I stumbled upon this spot in the Chicago suburbs, and their fajitas truly capture that "wok hei" seared fragrance, with the sweet-and-sour notes tuned just right. The Mexican red rice is flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the side salad cuts through any richness.ππ This might just be the best fajita Iβve ever eaten.ππ The restaurant β Fresh Start Cafe β is easy to miss (the name sounds more like a coffee shop), but itβs packed with locals every weekend, a true neighborhood favorite. Beyond fajitas, they also serve classic American breakfast dishes.π π My rating for the fajita: 9.5/10 β maybe I love it so much because I have a Chinese stomach at heart. πΈ Slide 4 shows a TGI Fridays fajita for comparison β no contest. #FajitaLove #MexicanFood #TexMex #ChicagoEats #LocalFavorite #HiddenGem
