Two Mexican restaurants in one week…I’ve been eating out a lot lately. Fajita Warehouse is tucked away in a shopping center on RR620, where a Serranos used to be. An odd thing to notice first about a restaurant and I don’t know if the artwork was purchased for the restaurant or if they inherited from Serrano’s, but it is really good. The tacos were a bit of a surprise, they were huge! Fajita Warehouse uses 8 inch taco shells, instead of the usual six inchers. They even had to serve them on two plates. Something I’ve never seen before was each came with a small scoop of sweet corn bread, almost like a fritter, but not fried. Unfortunately, as I quickly learned, I should have ordered one taco at a time, but I do always order two....the meat wasn’t drained. Aside from meat juice dripping on my fingers while eating the first one, my second taco soaked up all the juice it was bathing in and turned into a pretty soggy mess by the time got around to it. Had they properly drained the meat, they would have been great tacos! My family went with the signature dish….fajitas; hot sizzling, lots of sour cream, pico, and guaq. They chose chicken and salmon. Salmon sounded odd for fajitas, but was out of this world and worth trying. The server was okay, young and not much experience, but the drink glasses stayed full. Check out the painting on the men’s room door.
