Fajita Pete's - Ross Park — Restaurant in Ross Township

I know that the style of Fajita Pete's might not be what myself or others are accustomed to here, but 5 stars and I'll explain my likes/dislikes (as I feel they are more personal to where I've lived PA/AZ, and others might not have the same likes/dislikes):

Likes: Beans -can dip the chips in them, they are runny not sure why a lot of people don't like refried beans, but they taste great

Queso-tastes great

Chips-great texture and fresh made

Chicken-great texture and taste

Margaritas to go: good, but they could be stronger

Staff: The manager is a nice man and his staff is always friendly and accommodating, they always make sure your order is right and that you like the service/meal

Rice: tasty

Dislikes:

hot salsa- tastes like hot tomato sauce, but not removing stars, because it could likely be what someone likes (or regionally accustomed to), I'm going off my own palette [I do see stans of Fajita Pete's from other places, so it might just be something I'm not used to regionally]

beef- a bit chewy, but besides that great tasting

tortillas- texture was chewy, but I'm used to flour tortillas and corn tortillas from AZ

Overall: I lived mainly in AZ and PA, so my experience with Mexican foods can be quite different than others. For Fajita Pete's, I mainly love the kindness of the staff and helpfulness of the manager, he's been quite nice the couple times I've been there, he's always had interaction. Certain menu items and the order ahead app option are pluses. Things I'd like to see would be in store app scan for loyalty points (if this exists I haven't seen it on the app yet).

Will be back again. Not sure why people seem to leave 1 star reviews if they never received service here. As a former server, absolutely hate those reviews, since those reviewers are the same type to sit at a dirty table without being guided and...

If you’re looking for something that’s mid you will love it. The salsa taste like Campbell’s tomato soup. Someone is probably reading this now, going in the kitchen and tasting it and be like “oh it does” and it’s ruined forever for them too. The chicken was good was it 30 dollars for 2 people good, not really. It’s slower than chipotle and honestly it’s not as good. If you’re going to serve this kind of food you at least have to be better than them and it’s not. The guac tasted like a premade tube you would get from a grocery store which is fine but not what I want to pay for. The tortilla I’m guessing they make them in house or something but they weren’t cooked. If you throw them on your stove and let the flame cook them they are good, but they aren’t cooked from the store. If you want some very lightly cooked dough then it’s ok I guess. The refried beans were from a can and nobody added any spices or anything to them. The rice was ok. The chips had zero salt or lime on them. They make them in house and they are good but there was no salt at all. None at the bottom of the bag or anything. The best part of the whole thing was the grilled jalapeño on top of the chicken. Also there was no hot sauce in the bag. The biggest way to know that it’s not going to be good Mexican or Tex mex is there was no lime. Anyone that like Mexican food and knows some good Mexican food knows there is always a lime served with it. So if you want something that is mid, expensive, slow, not real Mexican and not great got to Pete’s. If you want real Mexican that’s fast got to California taco shop. If you want something fast go to chipotle....

First timer at a fast food fajita joint, and yes, there is such a thing. Though I guess if you call chipotle “fast casual,” then so is Pete’s. Didn’t really know what to expect going in. Have had a lot of fajitas in my day, but this beats most, if not all. I had the beef fajitas for one, my friend had the combo chicken/steak, and we dined in. Came with a big basket of chips, a bowl of hot salsa (and I mean steamy, though had a spicy bite too), a bowl with shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, pico de gallo and a scoop of delish guac. Also 4 warm tortillas each and a bowl of frijoles refritos. The fajitas came on a sizzling cast plate, the protein on a bed of fajita veggies, mostly onions, and a nice sized portion of Mexican rice with a charred half poblano. My sliced steak (and my friend’s chicken) had a char crust that was bomb (especially compared to the steamed meat normally carrying the fajita moniker). And it was STILL “like buttah.” The platter kept everything nice and hot, AND crisped up the bottom layer of rice as a bonus. My only knock, if you could call it that, was the salsa had a distinct essence of Campbells tomato soup.

They were definitely not the cheapest fajitas I’ve had, running in the $20 hood, but given the obvious quality, taste and breadth of the contents, I’d return in a...
