Hi. Anyone know where to find a traditional Texas style fajita service? The kind where it comes on a hot iron plate still sizzling, with fresh tortillas and the trimmings?

Cheers!

I am pretty sure that the fajitas at Las Margaritas on West 4th are

served this way (though not sure if they qualify as being "Texas

style")...... perhaps give them a call (604-734-7117) to be sure... but it

does ring a bell.

Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was. --Unknown

People still eat FAJITAS?

I haven't heard/thought of those in 15 years...I need to get out my Miami Vice suit, lose the socks and get me some Fajitas!

With that said, I find Mexican and more specifically, Tex-Mex poorly represented in Vancouver. I have taken to driving down to the Cantina in New Haven (Bellingham).

The absolute best spot for fajitas is Fajita Republic. It's quite a ways to go though. Puerto Vallarta in Old town to be exact. By the way Chef Fawke, I still love fajitas and no, I don't wear t-shirts with my sports coat :rolleyes: .

Yes, there is a wide world of people in the Southwestern U.S. that eat fajitas regularly. No place near Miami. :smile:

And they are quite tasty if done right (with the proper rub and properly marinated)!

Cheers!

Alot of people don't know that the once unheralded hanger steak makes for a great beef fajita!!

I think many places in Vancouver (at least the ones that serve fajitas still) don't serve them on "sizzling" cast iron skillets anymore, after a rather disturbing and nasty incident at a local eatery in the mid nineties that lead to a 60 year old woman exposing 2nd degree burns on her inner thighs at trial!!!

I sure miss the sizzle though!!

Ponchos at 1162 Denman Street has both Beef and Chicken Fajitas. As I remember they serve them sizzling and steaming as well. Quality wise I would rate the food as fair to good.

If you go there you need to try the Margaritas though, IMO they are excellent. After drinking many pitchers there I think I finally cracked the secret ingredient which I think is Lime-ade. Like Lemonade but with Limes you can buy frozen.

They have a Fajita Burrito there that I prefer over the regular Fajitas. They also have a Seafood Paella that is pretty good as well.
