A word to the wise: El Asadero steers away from Tex-Mex fajitas, offering more traditional Mexican cuisine. Its salsa has an enthusiastic kick with the inclusion of Serrano peppers, and the pico includes both jalapeños and their seeds. For entrees, a delectable treat will be the steak and shrimp fajitas which are both lavishly rubbed with spices and then grilled. The portions are more than filling and the sides are ample with guacamole and pico. All fajitas include flame-broiled meat and if dining with friends, go with the fajita plate that feeds up to three. It is a great deal.

Throw caution to the wind at Fresco's and instead of ordering the standard fajitas, go ahead and indulge in the fajita enchiladas. A piping hot plate with three cheese and onion enchiladas comes topped by Ranchero sauce and a choice of tender steak or chicken fajitas meat. Looking for something with a little more crunch? Go with the caesar fajita tacos, which include chicken or steak fajitas meat and caesar greens, roasted corn and parmesan cheese. Both menu options are served with rice and pico to complete each meal.
