This was absolutely the worst!! We waited about 40 minutes for our table, which was completely as expected and completely understood. The problem was that after we got to our table we waited for o we 20 minutes for someone to come take our drink order and about 10 minutes after we got our table, another family sat right next to us and they had already gotten their order before us. So finally someone came to our table and took our order but got us the wrong family platter and only brought us 3 of the 4 rice and charro beans that were supposed to come with our order. We were expecting much room and cheese, but we instead received what looked like el capitan order instead of el ganadora which btw is cheaper than what we ordered, and yet we were billed for the most expensive one. So unacceptable!! Never coming nor recommending this place ever! read more

Fajita Jack's tried to kill me! I'm allergic to avocados, I'm fully aware that I went to a Mexican restaurant that serves this. However, I look over the menu very carefully not to get dishes that contain anything avocados, I also tell the wait staff I'm allergic to them. I make my food oder, everything is going well, our food comes out. I start mixing the cheese and ingredients around and get a few bites in my lips start itching and my throat starts to tickle. My mother get a concerned look and I realize what's happening. I went looking more into the dish there they were chunks of avocado. Thankfully I got some Benadryl and I'm crazy swollen, I'll be okay in a few days, but if your allergies are more severe than mine, you might want to avoid this mexican place. The management showed no real concern. I guess they might have had I left in an ambulance, anyway just wanted to warn other's with allergies. read more

UPDATE: I want to give KUDOS to Fajita Jacks for them going above and beyond to accommodate my husband's celebration of life yesterday. From Javier to the waiter who assisted us, I extend our heartfelt appreciation and thanks. We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon on the patio and our food was outstanding. Anyone who knows me, appreciates that we are very harsh critics of restaurants in this area being rated 4 and 5 star meals "for the area" which is a supremely low bar to meet. This meal was truly worthy of high ratings by any measure and not just "for the area." We typically travel outside the area to dine; I'm happy that today, we didn't. We ordered the guacamole, which was perfectly seasoned and presently beautifully in a molcajete. We all eat with our "eyes" first so this was the perfect start our meals. We also ordered the pork fajitas which were accompanied by beautifully charred grilled Pineapple and some seriously delicious and very rustic corn tortillas. I ordered a combo of both the chicken and the brisket empanadas as a meal, which were also delicious. They were quite large and I shared one with my bro-in-law (who loved it), ate one myself and brought the 3rd one home for a yummy lunch. Others in our party ordered the street tacos and an enchilada plate. Everyone enjoyed their meals...not to mention their delish margaritas. Fajita Jacks is a great venue on the water for any occasion. We believe they have reasonable prices for the amount of food and their wait staff has always been top notch. Again, many thanks to each and every person at FJ who contributed to making our celebration not only possible but thoroughly enjoyable! PREVIOUS REVIEW: We had the absolute pleasure to enjoy brunch at Fajita Jacks this morning. The ceviche was a DELICIOUS and refreshing mixture of flakey fish, shrimp, mango & other fresh ingredients. It is quite a large portion and can be shared by 4 people at a very reasonable price! Their chips were fresh and their salsas were very tasty. We all ordered from the brunch menu and all of our meals were great! I had the French toast which they really should amend on the menu IMO as it is fabulous! It is two large rolls of French bread that had a pillowy texture unlike any French toast I have ever had. . . anywhere. . . Not just in the area. They were very light and covered with a cinnamon/brown sugar dusting and served with whipped cream on the side and a strawberry cut to look like a flower. My sister, who doesn't even like French toast, thought it was superb! Do yourself a favor and order extra whip cream and another strawberry and you will have the perfect amount for the two pieces. It is a great plate for sharing; or even better for one to take home! The rest of our party all ordered Chilaquiles and everyone thought they were outstanding, as well. Surprisingly, the dish didn't feel heavy at all. The entire group believed that they would benefit from some extra tomatilla sauce over the top but still loved the dish. They each used salsa and/or green sauce to top it off and wiped out their plates! In my opinion, this dish is easily shared by two. On a final note, I have to also compliment Fajita Jacks on the napkins they provided with our brunch which were very high quality and large. It is small touches such as this that make a dining experience even better! We have never dined here off of their regular menu but look forward to returning soon to try it out. We will most definitely be sharing our opinion with friends and family about the Brunch! While it is a small menu consisting of 6 items, the ones we tried were executed perfectly! read more

We waited an hour and a half for a table while others went ahead of us. Hostesses ignored us and we finally left hungry and so disappointed. Place is loud with many confused and angry customers. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Just stay away. read more

I really love this place. Amazing location on lake Conroe and they also have parking for boats. The chips and salsa are always fresh and warm. Great selection of beers and a well stocked bar. The Boss margarita is my favorite and is $6 during happy hour. I got the ultimate fajita plate for 1 which was a mix of chicken steak and jumbo shrimp. A great place to come hangout with the family and spend the afternoon. Will keep coming back. read more

This is the response I received. 8/30/2018 Thank you for letting us know about your experience here. We'd like to apologize if you felt like the service wasn't the best -- it sounds like we missed the mark getting your drinks, chips, and menu to you quickly. Also, we want to assure you that we treat all our guests equally here and that we always want you to have a great time with us. Hopefully, you enjoyed the food and will consider trying us out again one day so we can show you our top-notch service. Seriously? Missed the mark??? Your bartender is a homophobic jerk and you think he missed the mark?? The problem may be more with you allowing someone like that to treat customers so unprofessionally. No need to respond because I would never step foot in your establishment again!!! read more

This is a good place for Conroe. We spent the day on the lake and wanted some good food. It wasn't super spectacular but the food was overall tolerable. If you aren't starving, might be worth to wait he extra 30 minutes down the road to the next place. read more

We had a great evening, with great food and drinks! Freddie was our server and made our experience so fun! Thank you, Freddie, from your Marine friends! Oorah! read more

Had a great experience going there today! The food and service was great! Our waitress Stormy was wonderful!

We just went to Fajita Jacks. We were told the wait would be 15 minutes. 30 minutes after being there, I went to the host stand and was told we were next. After about 4 families were seated, I went up to get the status of our table for the second time. When I said I thought we were next the hostess said that the manager was basically seating whoever she wanted it didn't matter how long you had been waiting. Unbelievable!!! We won't be going back to Fajita Jacks for a LONG time. A good establishment doesn't operate like this! read more

The food is delicious. They gave free tacos & has free self serving ice cream. From their superb service to the location is terrific. The crew are accommodating. I like their pinto beans. They have kids menu too. They have are varied & wide choices on their menu. I loved it. read more

went in several days ago with my boss. He ordered fajitas, I ordered the brisket empanadas, when they arrived, I sliced into one, and it was filled with vegetables, beans, and two or three tiny cubes of chicken. Not at all what I ordered or what the very polite server wrote down. read more

I've been going to Fajita Jacks since it was located where 7 Leguas is and have always enjoyed it. There was a brief period for maybe 1 1/2 years when the the quality of food and taste of their margaritas declined but that has long been corrected. I'm glad their staffing woes are slowly being corrected but we still need to be patient with all restaurants during this time. On Father's Day, we went to Fajita Jacks and was fortunate to have the best server I believe I've ever had there. Her name is Makayla and she was so professional and thorough, I thought she'd probably been there for some time. It turned out that not only was she relatively new to FJ (1 month), but it was her first job as a server! We were so impressed, I told the manager on my way out that if I owned a restaurant, I'd steal her away. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot but you might want to request her the next time you go in. I know I will. By the way, the food and margaritas were excellent too. read more

Here on a Friday at 7pm, so obviously a wait - no biggie. We were quoted 20-30 minute wait and were sat within 25 minutes on the patio. We were greeted by Isabella as our server and things have been amazing since. We could see from afar that she was swamped and overwhelmed, but when talking to us you could never tell. She has had a smile on her face the entire time we have been here and has not skipped a beat in taking care of us. Food and drinks have arrived less than on time and perfectly. Isabella is the epitome of a great waitress and deserves the highest of praises. read more

You literally can't go wrong with this restaurant. But you HAVE to get the fajitas! And when it's nice weather, you can sit out on the patio, and watch people on Lake Conroe. It's a great spot and great service. read more

False hope can be the cruelest thing and this is that. The only Tex-mex on the lake :-/ The salsa green/red is the best they have to offer. No offense but the food is trash. Seems like it comes out of a microwaveable bag. Also, could be coo if you could fix the lights on the sign on the lakeside. read more

We love this place, views of the water, great margs, and get the Florida Burrito!! Sarah was our server and did an amazing job, she was spectacular and the margs & food came fast! read more

This place is OK. That's fabulous and not lousy. It depends who you get as a server. The menu works for me.

Absolutely love this place!! Great atmosphere friendly service and the food was amazing! We got the shrimp cocktail and firecrackers for appetizers and they were the best!!! Highly recommend both of those! My main entree was the ultimate fajita! It was out of this world! I don't think you could order anything bad here! read more

I always get the half order of the beef fajita nachos and they are awesome! They also give you an extra side of chips with 2 kinds of salsa which are really good too, the green salsa is my favorite. I'm giving it 3 starts because last time I went I waited at the bar for 10 minutes until someone asked me if I had been helped and I said no. He then went and got the person that took my order and check if it was ready. I counted 5 servers walk by and not say a word to me. The only person that acknowledged me was the person who was just done cleaning the bathrooms. read more

I've lived about 15 minutes away from this place for over a year and had no idea it existed. Man was I missing out! It's a very nice Tex Mex restaurant right on the Mariana and it's great! They have a lovely "green sauce" that they bring out at the beginning with chips and salsa. I had the fajita nachos and man it was delicious!! My husband had the Santa Fe Salad and he told me it was the best salad he's ever had at a Mexican restaurant. Our server was extremely attentive and very sweet! Definitely coming back! read more

We love Fajita Jack's! We've been going there since the current owners purchased it and they were across the street. My husband's favorite is the mushroom Jack fajitas, but I have to decide between the Chicken Diablo and the Marco Pollo. Both are AMAZING! They have good chips, great queso, and a beautiful view of Lake Conroe. The family is awesome, and they're Aggies! read more

We had a great experience being out on the deck. The food was decent, although i expected a little more from the Fajitas abased on the name. Good not great, but the view makes up for it. The drinks were not strong, wish they made those better especially being on the water. read more

Wife and I went for dinner and sat on the patio. Ordered a mixed drink and draft beer. Drink was ok and beer was cold but not as cold as it could have been so not sure how long it sat before it was brought to us. Ordered the fajita nachos and when they arrived we asked for a side of pick de gallo (sp?) since none was on the plate. 20 minutes later, still no pico or offer for new drinks etc. There was very little fajita meat, cheese or beans on the nachos either. Then several minutes after asking for our ticket we still had to go inside to find our waitress to get it and pay. Not likely going back again as this was the second time receiving similar service. read more

Worst Mother's Day Ever!! I think I just ate a CONDOM....but upon further inspection and reassurance from the manager it was ONLY A FINGER OF A GLOVE but rest assured the finger was not in it. The manager also stated that the gloves have "antibacterial film" inside and I should not be worried about contacting HIV or Hepatitis because they "DRUG test" their employees and know from the drug test whether or not they have infectious diseases. ((("Sounds ligit"))) While in the bathroom nauseous from removing the condom I mean finger of a glove from my mouth my husband paid for the table of 15 minus my meal. The restaurant managers only compensation for ruining not only my Mothers Day but Mother's Day for my friend sharing my meal and another mom at our table was one meal comp and a $25 gift card that we will never use at their establishment. read more

It's your average chain Mexican restaurant. It is nice that it is on the lake. Nothing special here.

Anytime i go to a new mexican restaurant i like to try the sampler to get an idea whats happening in the kitchen. This sampler is one of the better ones ive had. Everything was hot and fresh, well seasoned and tender, i was most pleased. My s/o reported the steak and chicken fajitas were most satisfactory. The chicken was moist and tasty, the steak tender and flavorful, the tortillas are light and buttery. The overall experience was very nice and we look forward to returning. read more

Great service from Jacob. Very accomodating management and wait staff. Good fajitas and margarita's. Highly recommend!

Everything was superb! Lorenzo was top notch. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because after our first dynamite margarita, the bar ran out of Patron!! Hello, it was a Saturday, run to a liquor store & buy more. Will definitely be back! read more

Solid place for a drink and some good fajitas on the water of lake Conroe. We live about 5 minutes from this place and they do have a great drink menu with water access. My wife and I shared the fajitas for two, plenty of food for two, with homemade tortillas which I love. Easy parking at night and fun atmosphere. Chips a salsa with multiple salsa options also great. read more

Went in with the family for a table. Place was half empty. We asked to sit by the window with a view on the lake, which they said was totally fine, a table just needed to be cleaned. We waited at the table for 15 minutes for them to clean it and they didn't. Awful service, we inquired to the waiters and hostess but they didn't care. And just for the record, we were the only people waiting. So, after a long wait (and since we were all hungry) we left. Won't be coming back again. I guess they are not paid enough to care and I doubt management gives a fuck. read more

Beef fajitas for two were great! Queso blanco also delicious. Looking forward to coming here again. Ordered carryout and didn't have any issues with the service. read more

Very disappointing. Heard this was a great place on the lake. Drove all the way from Houston for a getaway. Asked for a window table & was told 25 minute wait. That sounded more than reasonable. Took us to our table after 20 minutes, and it was no where near a window or a view of the lake. We were told it would be another 45 minutes. We were starving,, so we took the no view table. Only 15 minutes later 2 tables by the windows were seated with new people! On top of that, I ordered shrimp tacos that supposedly had crab, too, but there was absolutely NO crab. read more

Didn't enjoy the food at all. The fajitas were awful. The rest of the food we had was mediocre at best!! Probably won't go back. Just the way it is. read more

I have been coming here for years and have always received excellent service that I really thought couldn't get any better until Josh Splawn started there. He always goes above and beyond for his guests. read more

Birthday celebration on a Sunday afternoon. Busy time at the restaurant. They were swamped. Both the kitchen and bar were extraordinarily slow. All told, party of 8 took more than 2 hours to order and get food. We gave up on desert. I will give them kudos for serving hot, tasty food and cold drinks when they finally got them to us. 3 out of 8 orders were wrong and one of the shrimp dishes tasted rank, however, so it was sent back and not reordered. read more

My wife and I, along with 2 of our friends went for dinner this evening. Food was pretty good, though a little pricey. It was standard price for nicer restaurants along the lake, but you can get much cheaper food a few miles down the road. The service however left a lot to be desired. The waitress completely skipped over one of our friends when taking the order, and our friend had to raise her voice to get the waitress's attention to come back and get her order. Drinks were brought once, no refills were ever offered. Waitress only returned to drop off the food and the checks. The restaurant was not busy, and we weren't a large party. Very disappointed! read more

Excellent Mexican food at a good price. Their quality hasn't gone down since moving to the Marina district. Parking might a little harder, though! Great Fajitas, enchiladas and tortilla soup! Great new location! read more

The best Mexican food near the lake. Sample is good as is beef quesadillas. Good salsa.

I can see why they're famous. WOW! The food portions and the food flavors are incredible! Even their verde salsa is amazing. Is there guac in it? Whatever it is, it's friggin' delicious. I had the shrimp fajita, my husband had the chili rellenos, chicken tamale, and cowboy jack burrito. We enjoyed every bite of all of our food. Yes, my husband almost finished all 3 meals except for some rice. The waitress was very attentive and the wait staff was great at cleaning our table as we were finishing off our plates. Don't forget to try their mules! DELICIOUS!!! read more
