Ok overall. The complimentary chips were good. As were rice and beans. Some of the salsa was good. One of them tasted like vinegar and lemons and had a weird consistency.
The steak with the fajitas tasted good but was incredibly tough and stringy. Difficult to chew and cut through with a knife. I’m going to be honest this is a restaurant that makes me think I could cook the food better at home. And that usually doesn’t come to my mind

This place deserves more business. Great food, great service, great value. Happy hour giant 24oz beers for 6.50, what more do you need? Thanks Las Fajitas! 😎

It was $17 for a burrito and a drink. It took at least 15 minutes to get the food. The flavor was good but the size was pretty small. I think it took away too long for me to get 1 item and I was the only customer there during lunch time.

We went Saturday at 5pm was quite and yet the food is top notch. I could have over eaten just to taste everything 😋. If you looking for good hole in the wall mexican food this is the place.

This place is awesome. Family run restaurant with nice clean seating, cheerful employees who serve you at your table. They have the biggest salsa bar I have ever seen for a place this size, heck for a place any size for that matter. It has a choice of 5 Salsa's from Pico De Gallo to Habanero. Cilantro and Onion, Limes, Carrots and even a corn based salsa, which I did not try
I ordered Chile Relleno, a Carnitas taco and a Fountain drink, all Al a carte and paid $7. They serve nice crispy chips with your food and they have a huge Menu and I would like to try more, so I will be back for sure.

08-21-21 came back here and one year later the are as good if not better than I remembered. I tried their Tortilla Soup and Chile Relleno a la carte, it came wirh chips and salsa bar. The soup was amazing, there are so many veggies in the soup you can taste that it's made by them. You can have it veggie or chicken and the chicken is shredded but not cheap, spongy, chewy chicken, my bowl had a full size chicken breast that was cleaned of any fat, tendons, gristle and dark meat and reduced long enough to have picked up the flavor of the ingredients including Onion, Bell Pepper, Celery, Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Potato, Carrots, Oregano, Cilantro, Tomato and of course Tortilla Strips. To note the consistency of the veggies is semi soft so the ingredients still hold their shape. This is not canned soup and the broth was tangy, not spicy and flavorful.
The soup and Chile Relleno pictures should speak for themselves.

I got a combo plate. The taco was pretty good, well stuffed. The cheese enchilada was hard to find under sauce. It was a bit thin. The chili rellano was okay but also a bit thin on filling. The beans and rice were unremarkable. All in all, not worth the $17.95 it cost. The salsa bar was pretty well stocked and somewhat tasty.

Stopped in here for dinner last night based on the reviews. As you can see based on my rating, it's unlikely I'll be back.

With a name like Las Fajitas, it's pretty much a no brainer to try the fajitas, right? That's what I thought. So I order the regular fajitas with beef. Prior to bringing my meal to the table, they brought me some stale chips. Not a great start, but give the guys a chance. The carrots from the salsa bar were good. My meal came out quickly but that's where the exceeding of expectations ended. The beef was a thin piece of carne asada cut into strips and served alongside some grilled veggies on a plate. I've eaten fajitas for many years and have never seen it presented like this. I don't need the sizzling cast iron, but the beef, chicken, or shrimp are always mixed in with the veggies. Aren't they? The beef was tough because it was overcooked. Easy to do with such a thin cut. But it also lacked seasoning. No flavor. So I went back to the salsa bar and their most popular salsa bowl was empty. At least the grilled onions and peppers were good. So... Not a stellar showing for Las Fajitas.
