There’s something magical about the moment fajitas come out of a restaurant kitchen, paraded through the dining room with that tantalizing sizzle that has everyone who ordered something else second-guessing themselves. Fajitas are one of those dishes that will turn heads. But here’s the thing — they’re easy to get wrong. Bad fajitas are usually really, really bad, but which chain restaurants are going above and beyond to put out the best?
Some have built up a reputation for serving up stellar fajitas, and let’s start with a walk down memory lane. One of the chains serving up the best fajitas discontinued them after a 1990s heyday, and shockingly, that was McDonald’s. That’s right: Chicken fajitas are the Tex-Mex item that McDonald’s customers still miss. The good news is that there are plenty of great options still on the table.
