Fajita Pete's - MoPac

I ordered fajitas for two and the portions were so small it would have been barely enough for one. The fajitas were gross. Watery salsa, tortita was like card board, the meat was low quality and over spiced. I threw them in the trash. For what they charge I expected a lot more.

I found a young man working alone this Friday evening and he was polite, efficient & helpful. He also made some really good fajitas to go with icy, slushy margaritas, and the atmosphere? It's takeaway, so pick your spot. I chose a secret little hideaway on the Greenbelt I found while chasing a rabbit in a waistcoat, but wildlife might not be your thing. Comparatively inexpensive when picked up, and you don't have to wear pants while eating. Clothing required for pickup, I'm sure.

Initially was not the best experience but I went in anyway. I had to call for them to open the door the guy was apologetic then offered for me to wait in the car because they were busy. I was the only one there and I walked over. Anywho I know he had good intentions and he apologized for the delayed opening then offered me a seat. I ordered my little meal for lunch. I wanted to get there early so that there’s no room for error when I think of fajitas I kind of think of peppers and onions. They gave me all the onions lol. Unfortunately I didn’t have many peppers. I think I have a piece of a pepper. The beans were super soupy, not a big fan of that. The rice was rice. However the chicken was well flavored & the salsa had a fire roasted taste to it which was a big Yeaaaahhhssss. I’ll take more of that any day. The chips were thin and crispy big plus there. The tortilla brought it all together but I felt like I was missing something. I didn’t finish it all but it was $15 for lunch not too bad & if you go early there’s no wait

Yum! I got the Carnitas Burrito and it was fantastic. Filling, tasty and well made. Pick up was quick and easy. I definitely will be back.

It was my first time ordering but definitely not my last. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and it came with fresh fixings (lettuce, cheese, guacamole and pico de gallo). The rice was perfect, the beans were a tad under seasoned but still delicious. It also came with half an jalapeño, which could have been cooked a tad longer and deseeded. I would definitely order again.

The fajitas and the fixings were very tasty and we really enjoyed them. The flour tortillas were cardboard-like (they need a new way to cook flour tortillas) and the salsa was too watery, but both were very tasty. The price was high due to bidenflation. The quantities were sufficient for dinner for 2. We ordered Pork and Shrimp fajitas for 2 curbside.

I had a wonderful experience the first time ordering delivery from here, and was ready for the same when ordering tonight. Unfortunately, they called me 30 minutes after ordering (conveniently 15 minutes before they close) that their delivery drivers vehicle broke down and could I come get it because it’s already ready…uhm okay sure. I go to pick it up, she hands it to me and says “here it is” I was like..no “sorry about that”. No, “thank you for not cancelling” no showing me that everything’s in there… no? Okay whatever: I get it home (0.8 miles from the restaurant) and the tortillas were garbage - they literally were trash quality and I don’t know why they were provided to any customer (See photos) and the beef fajitas were cold. There is no roasted jalapeño (arguably my favorite part). The “pico de gallo” Was 4 small cubes of tomato and you don’t get salsa with your fajitas, you get “chips and salsa” that’s a half full portion cup of watery salsa with it but you don’t get salsa with the fajitas - she told me that. Not offering to add some for an extra fee or otherwise. Just being combative after I’ve had to stop painting to come pick up cold food..I asked her to reduce the tip from 20-% to 10% since there was no delivery and I had to come pick it up, she didn’t give me a receipt just said “okay!” Very unprofessional, very unimpressed. I just moved here in April and the two experiences are most definitely reflective of the people working tonight vs my first experience of hot high quality food and friendly service. This poor experience was Saturday 7/16/2022 order placed at 7:15pm.

I can’t recommend this place enough! I had Fajita Pete’s at my sisters house in Houston and was so excited to see they opened a location in Austin. It is just as good as I remember and I’d go as far as to say this is one of my favorite places to get fajitas in Austin. Their staff was incredibly nice (shoutout Sergio!) and I can’t wait to see where else they expand around Austin. They offer curbside pickup and delivery within 3 miles. I don’t believe you can dine in. Great concept and even better food! Thank you!! *Photo was taken AFTER we had already dug in! Good portion sizes.

This has quickly become our go-to when no one knows what they want. It is seriously SO good. I used to eat at burrito places frequently, but honestly Fajita Pete's is better bang for your buck. It is delicious, easy, and fast. The only thing I wish I could change is that they put guacamole with every order and you can't remove it if you order online. I'm allergic to avocados and it gets all over the lettuce and cheese. Otherwise, it's perfection.

I really wanted this takeout place to work out. Apparently, they have done well in the Houston region. That said, it's pretty risky for a TexMex takeout business to come into Central Texas and try to pull off a takeout TexMex concept. There are some exceptional TexMex eateries to get takeout from in Austin. You have to be just as good as everyone else. The "Fajitas for 2" takeout order we had: Cons: - Very little onions and peppers included, - Mixed beans were the worst I have ever had, - Not enough tortillas, - watered down tasteless salsa Pros: - the meat was seasoned well and tasty - the rice was good - they deliver... includes Margaritas! In short, Fajita Petes is just not up to par with most local Tex-Mex restaurants. There, I said it.... I wish them luck in other cities, but they will have a difficult time making it in Central Texas.

Anyone who know me, knows that I'm a snob when it comes to Mexican food. I grew up in Mexico after all! So I had Fajita Pete's today for the first time. Went with the beef fajitas, boracho beans, flour tortillas and of course, margaritas. A+ on all of it! The fajitas were tender, moist and tasty. The tortillas were homemade. The boracho beans were good -- wish I had more of them. And the margaritas were excellent. This is a place I will be coming back to for sure! Thank you Fajita Pete's!!!

This was the perfect food and service for a catered UT event. WOW! The food was incredible and the service was amazing. Everything arrived on time and was ready to go. Perfect.

Been waiting for 30 minutes for them to open up just for the door to be locked at 11:06?? They're clearly inside I even tried knocking but nothing. Sucks.

It doesn't taste bad but for the price the quality is maybe a little notch above Taco Cabana. Save a few bucks and just go there

So glad I found this place, Fajita Pete's! I was stuck in the car, waiting for my wife at a doctor's appointment and it had gone on more than two hours. I was famished and I wanted to get a bite to eat. My choices were so limited. I'm trying to eat healthy and all I could find were greasy fast food burgers, or pizza, or other things that would not fit what I was looking for. But I found this place Fajita Pete's on Yelp and went in there. Sure enough I was able to get a healthy chicken fajita salad. nice protein, and very few carbs :) The fajitas were outstanding, and the staff was really, really nice and really helpful. They even gave me a sample of the chicken and the beef before I placed my order so I knew which way I wanted to go. Great place and I'll be back

I was really excited for Fajita Pete's to open on Balcones, because it is on my way home from work, and I was looking forward to many easy pick-up meals in the future. So with great anticipation, I ordered the 4-person fajita pack for dinner tonight. The good - online ordering was easy, and my food was ready right on time. The bad - when I got home and opened the bag, I was totally taken aback by the tiny amount of food. A small flat container of protein, a 16 oz plastic container of rice, a 10 oz plastic container of beans, and an even smaller (maybe 10 oz container) of salsa, a pack of tortillas, and a huge bag of (cheap filler) chips. This was for FOUR people? With tax and tip, my total price came to $74. I'm generally not a complainer, but this was ridiculous. I called the store to ask whether or not they had given me the wrong order. They confirmed it was all correct. I told the manager (who was very polite and nice and was clearly trying to be helpful) that this wasn't right. After some discussion, he offered to refund my money if I brought the food back. So I got in my car and drove it all back, and got my money back. And then I drove directly to Taco Cabana and got their family fajita pack (slightly less protein, more beans, more rice, more tortillas, plus some fried onions/guac/cheese/pico (none of which Fajita Pete's includes) for $35. Literally less than 1/2 the cost. Plus I don't have to order ahead - just hit the drive through. I really can't comment on Fajita Pete's food at all. I didn't touch it. TLDR: Unbelievably overpriced for what you get. With so so so many other places in town to get great fajitas at a fair price - don't waste your money at Fajita Pete's.

Vistited them for the first time, and ordered the following Fajitas for 2 and carnitas for 2, portion size was 5 oz of each of the meats super small and the tortillas were raw. For the amount of money that we spent and food we received we could have gone elsewhere. The employee that attended us was very monotone no help at all and the restaurant was empty, had to ask for plates and silverware to eat.

Mediocre, barely edible. A takeout dive. I had their beef fajita. The tortilla was not good, the meat wasn't good, the rice was average, and the beans were just meh. Not recommended.

I almost never write a review, but, because this place is a bit pricey, I thoght I should. If you are not from Texas you might thnk this is good food. However, being from Texas, I know what good Tex-Mex food actually is. Nothing that had anything to do with a tortilla was even edible. Chips were greasy and tough, so called flour tortillas, quesadillas, sopapillas, were the same. There was nothing "fluffy", soft or tender about any of them. I will say, the chicken and the queso were flavorful. I was VERY disappointed. I had been meaning to try this place for a good while but i will not go back.

Went during their pre-open when they had an invite for the neighborhood to come try it out. Got some beef, chicken, rice, beans, fajita toppings and flour tortillas. All was tasty. My only beef (heh heh) was that the beef was a tad chewy, and could have used a bit more of the toppings (lettuce/cheese etc) to stretch across all the fajitas I constructed. Other than that, I enjoyed every bite, and I'm impressed by the homemade tortillas. Want to try the corn tortillas next time. Will be going back.

Generally good quality, except: 1. The tortillas are terrible - thin, hard, stale...barely better than using wax paper. 2. The salsa is thin and basically flavorless. Otherwise the meat, queso, and fixings are consistently good.

drove across the city to get lunch here on advice of a friend. was told they were "opening late" and it would be 45 minutes. do not go here

I really wanted to like this place because it's close by to our sons soccer and I liked the concept. But the quality was disappointing. Very similar to taco cabana quality. It looked like they were training someone when i picked up the food so maybe they have new employees?

Sergieo can definitely provide miracles! Evening tough days, he comes through! The food and Margarita's were delicious too! Definitely would call on him again in the future! Thank you Sergio!

This feedback is intended more for the manager, if they are paying attention, than as a slam against them. They are new, and possibly struggling with post-Covid issues relating to hiring competent people, but they are nearby, and FAST delivery. After several orders I have found the quality to be mediocre and very inconsistent. They're fajitas are quite bland. This could be indemic to the chain's recipe, but Chipotle, as an example, has more flavorful meat. Seasoning and marination would help. The beef has been quite tough every time. Either a higher quality of meat or a better marination would help. At a minimum, consistently cutting it into smaller pieces would avoid the situation where you're taking a bite and end up pulling a 3" piece out of your fajita with your teeth. Same goes for chicken-large hunks are not appropriate for fajitas....train your people to chop better. Tortillas is another area of inconsistency. On one order, we ordered both flour and corn and, although commendable, the manager check the order when I picked it up, the corn were actually missing when I got home. Another time, although I commend them for cooking the flour flour tortillas in-house, if you don't cook them, you might as well buy pre-cooked tortillas from Sysco. Mine were mostly raw on this occasion and gross. Lots of potential, but a this point, for fajitas in Austin, a 3 out of 5 is generous. Generamkye, there seemed to be many problems with consistency and a generally very bland flavor.

Our first time and it is wonderful! Everything was fantastic...the corn tortillas are so unique...really handmade and kinda thick. We got the mixed shrimp and chicken and it was excellent. Also the refried beans with no lard are fantastic and nothing is salty....just the right amount. The other items they give to go with the fajitas were all really great. I am totally impressed and will definitely go back. So glad they are in the neighborhood. You will not be disappointed!

My neighborhood group posted this little gem so I had to check out what all the hype was about and yummo! The perfectly homemade tortillas were the best I've ever had. I got the chicken, shrimp and beef fajitas because I couldn't decide. The beef was tender and melted in my mouth. The chicken was charred to perfection with the desired taste of a delectable fajita meat and the shrimp was mmmm mmmm good! Chips, queso and salsa were a perfect addition with just the right Tex-Mex taste. Sweet little churros ended with a bang and the kiddos sure loved those. Will definitely return!

OMG, this place is totally awesome the food was great I am coming back I'm telling my friends about this place.

Veggie fajitas... greasy cooked on a flat top. Plain uninteresting tortillas, meh sides. So many other places doing so much better food. It's just not worth eating bad food anywhere, including this place.

Meats we're decent. Salsa like a bland tomato sauce. Refried beans had no texture, more like baby food. Hubby likes the queso. Overall, think food is better & cheaper at Taco Cabana. The nearby Zuzu's is better quality and better flavors.

We ordered takeout Fajita's and overall enjoyed our order. We ordered online and it was ready in about 20 minutes. We got the beef and chicken fajitas for two, and it came with all the toppings as well as rice, beans, tortillas, and salsa. I think the flavor was pretty good, especially with the beef. I agree with several other reviews though that the portions were pretty small. We only got one small container of rice and beans and the toppings (lettuce, cheese, etc) were really only enough for 2 tacos total. I think this place has good potential but should be a little more generous with their portions.

Just randomly tried this place after spotting sign (picked up to-go as there is no seating). Got beef fajita quesadillas and i think they were the best ones i've eaten! Meat was delicious and tortillas were fresh! The chips were thin, fresh and crunchy! Salsa and quac tasted fresh and just made. I definitely will go back soon and grab for a holiday party!

I stopped by the new location in Cedar Park (1431 & Parmer - HEB Parking lot). I'm so glad I did. Great Food all around. The service was very good and they were just getting started.

Over-priced for the amount of food provided. They messed up the order. After being told 20 mins after my delivery time that my food was waiting on the delivery driver, I drove to pick it up. It was cold. Hope they figure things out because the Houston Bellaire location was amazing but this franchisee hasn't figured it out yet,including pricing.

Whoaaaaaa! I was surprised and saddened to see some of these negative reviews as this has not been my experience. It is probably pretty hard to get delivery drivers etc during this employee shortage so I am sure it can be pretty hectic over there. BUT so far we have ordered their fajitas 4 times and had them delivered. I've used the app and I also called this evening when my order hadn't arrived. I realized I had screwed up and made the order for tomorrow. I just told them to keep that order and I would figure it out for tonight since it was clearly my mistake. No big deal. But they were super nice and brought the food right over. The gentleman on the phone was so nice. I really appreciated it. I own my own business and work in the service industry. I know first hand these reviews can make or break a business. I hope they stick it out and gain a following here as it is really nice to have something new and easy delivered to the house when I don't have time to get dinner together. Their fajitas are good too. I prefer the beef and shrimp and the queso is super yummy. Oh and the mushrooms. So good. Thanks for your hard work everyone!

Loved our Fajitas Pete's order! Ordered the La Familia to cover us on lunch today and dinner tomorrow. Taquitos, guac and quesoooo. The chicken/beef fajitas perfect and corn tortillas absolute must. I do wish fajitas came with shredded lettuce. Kids loved the churros too! We will be back!

I was quoted a 20 min pick up time. After placing order, they changed it to 60 min. I called store and attempted to cancel, but they told me it would be ready in 20 min. I drove to the store, and then they said it would be another 60 min. Unreliable and bad customer service. At least I got my money back.

Fajita Pete's hit it out of the park last night! They catered our meal for our son's wedding shower for 50 ppl. The process was seamless. The food arrived perfectly on time and was set up efficiently. It was SO delicious, fresh and savory. Everyone enjoyed it! We cannot recommend them enough! Scott Family

The concept is nice but still has some issues. We ordered online and everything went fine. Food was ready when noted and was hot even in the case of having to drive a bit. Overall the beef fajitas were good, similar to Lupe Tortilla. The issues is three things. For the money the amount of fajitas you receive is very small. We got the fajitas for four and it turns out to be about one fajita per person. Then on top of that even though the website states you get guacamole with your order it did not come with any. When calling to inform them that we did not receive guacamole we were asked if we ordered by phone or online. When we stated online the response was oh that is the problem we are telling everyone when they call in?!?!? There was no real interest in rectifying the order. As of today the website still states you get guacamole. Not sure if this has been fixed but for the prices charged. Lastly the tortillas were good but wrapped tightly together in tin foil. By the time we got home each of the tortillas had molded together and were fairly useless. The taste was good but for a togo fajita shop the detail of how the food travel is important and when you charge a premium it needs to be addressed.

worst exeperience for a catering order for 32 people on all fajitas - over an hour and half late and the person on the phone finally answered after multiple attempts has straight lied about communication with their delivery driver and stated on the first call- oh 15-20 minutes- over an hour ago and the second call was oh 5 minutes ...... that second call was a half hour ago. do not use them- nobody has attemtped to c all and justify the extreme lateness and nobody has attempted to make it right food still not here and i've called at least a dozen times and nobody answers. even in the process of ordering asked if caterer is unavailable for delivery what would you like to do? options were cancel or pickup- i chose pickup with the comment added give me an hour notice - not a si ngle call, text, email communicatipn or anything they suck, truly honestly suck! went through ez cater and will not choose fajita petes ever again still no food or call or answers
