Good "Tex Mex" is hard to find in the region, and Chris & his team are offering just that; reliable, consistent, quality and most of all, tasty TexMex at Fajita Pete's Service is great, quick and attentive. Atmosphere is family friendly, while serving all ages with their eat-in bar. My partner & I enjoyed the quesadillas, fajitas & flautas with sides of beans, rice, sour cream, salsa and queso, all satisfying to taste. Highly suggested for in person dining, ordering or catering! read more

Fajita Pete's - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Although Fajita Pete's is a chain, it doesn't feel like one. The service was very friendly and personable. It was our first time visiting and the cashier was happy to explain the menu. We ordered the chicken pico and the combo fajitas with shrimp and chicken. Both orders came with rice, beans, and chips and salsa. The chips weren't overly salty which I was happy about! The food was very tasty. Both the chicken and shrimp were flavorful. The chicken was juicy and tender. We weren't able to finish our plates it was so filling! The staff were super friendly and checked on us several times. It's a casual chain restaurant similar to Chipotle or Qdoba, with the exception of a little bar serving beers and flavored margaritas. Highly recommend if you're shopping at The Block and want a bite to eat beforehand! read more

Fresh ingredients, large portions, inexpensive Tex Mex Cuisine. Yes, it's a chain, but the food is impressive. We had a great time here. When you buy the Fajitas, you get everything you need to assemble delicious Fajitas. I noticed they do a lot of take-out, catering, too. Our food came out quickly. There is lots of free parking. read more

The salsa was too tomatoey base. Not the chunks but it had a paste flavor to it. Not a fan. The chips were good. The Margarita was not bad, did get a brain freeze; I think their house is only frozen. Had a steak and chicken taco. Not bad! Did not care for the beans and liked the rice, not over flavored or dry! I will try it again. A small place, clean and simple inside. I would say that having two different radios playing at the same time is a bit much. Pick on and leave the other one off. The gal that took my order was super nice! I'll give it another chance. A bit $$ read more

Fajita Pete's - Frozen Margarita. Two straw share. - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

3.5 stars overall. Fajita Pete's is a chain restaurant that has franchise locations in some U.S. states. This particular location in the North Hills of Pittsburgh recently opened. This evening, my husband and I visited this restaurant to order takeout. The restaurant had several tables in a small space. As I stood in line at the cash register, I repeatedly had to move out of the way so that employees could walk past and bring food to the other customers at the tables. Our cashier was smiley and spoke nicely to us. The menu listed foods such as fajitas (e.g., chicken, carnitas/pork, beef, shrimp, veggie, and mixed), burritos, flautas, tacos, quesadillas, salads, tortilla chips with queso and quacamole, and churros. This restaurant also serves alcoholic beverages such as beers and margaritas. My husband and I ordered our food. The cashier could not get her credit-card machine to work, but she got a different machine to accept our payment. She told us that our wait would be about 15 minutes. I did not time our wait, but it was much longer. My husband and I ate our foods at home. Here are our reviews for the foods: Chicken fajitas - 3.5 stars - My husband ate this entree. He said that he was glad that he tried it and that it was filling, but he would not order it again soon. He said that because the business has "fajita" in its name, then it should make higher-quality fajitas. He liked the side of beans, and he described the rice as OK. Chicken quesadilla - 3.5 stars - My quesadilla was cut into four pieces. One of the pieces contained almost no chicken. A good amount of cheese was included in all of the pieces. The ingredients were fresh. I liked this quesadilla, but I expected it to taste better. My beans did not look appetizing, but they tasted good. The rice tasted OK, and I took a few bites of it. Queso - 4 stars - This queso dip was gooey and tasted very good. The accompanying bag of chips was sufficient. Guacamole - 3 stars - This guacamole had an average quality and flavor. read more

Very small restaurant seats less than 20 customers. I was surprised by the price point ($18 for shrimp fajitas). I had a 1 person serving - shrimp fajitas, 4 wraps, double rice, and delicious toppings that included really good guacamole. It made 3 large fajitas. I have never tasted a wrap like this one. Doughy, but light served warmed. Did I mention to go margaritas? I ordered chips and queso. Chose the medium queso came with a tiny bag of chips. There is a rewards program. Did I mention to go margarita sold from a glass to a gallon size!? I definitely think I will be back. read more

The salsa tastes like tomato sauce and is served hot. Tastes awful. I asked if they have chilled salsa and they said no. The refried beans seem like they are puréed. Only have one kind of hot sauce. The meals are served on pre used plastic plates with knife marks sliced in them. I asked the cashier if the fajitas are the only selection they serve with shrimp and she said she has no idea. Very odd experience here. I won't be going back. read more

Stopped by to try a fajita. Was told by a friend that they opened last week but turns out today is opening day. Ordered a mixed fajita where you can pick 2 of the proteins, ordered the shrimp and carnitas. You get lot to eating everything came out piping hot. Probably enough for 2 people. Ordered the house made corn tortillas. The fajitas come with chips and salsa, pico, refried beans, some lettuce, cheese, and guac, and some rice. Built my fajitas and enjoyed the shrimp and carnitas. The chips were good and the salsa came out warm and had cilantro in it. A really filling meal. Nice to have in the neighborhood. read more

Great service and food came out quick and tasty. Nice dining area and a tv and bar. The portions are huge and the meat is amazing read more

Tacos al carbon, and chicken fajitas for a high protein post workout meal! I dip the chips in the beans, salsa for the tacos. Sorry about the pic, but it usually doesn't make it home. read more

Fajita Pete's - Tacos al carbon, (was) - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

It was just ok. Had the carnitas burrito with chips and salsa. To me, the burrito was very, very bland. The salsa had a sour taste. It was served warm and it was plentiful. I know this next point is common in today's dining experience, but asking me for a tip before I get my food is going to get you zero. read more

Large portions. Very tasty. Employees very knowledgeable of their menu. Chill environment

We got the fajitas combo for two and we're overcharged for ordering beef that's not even on the menu that it tells you they charge you more for it. It is like $40 for fajitas for two really? read more

Ordered a La Familia bundle and I must say it was one of the best pack-ups ever! Everything was excellent! Perfect steak and chicken, and the BOMB queso!! The staff was friendly, asked if I needed utensils and assured me everything was included in the bag when it was brought out. This was a takeout order today, but I'd like to come back to dine in the restaurant. The dining room is simple and clean and the bar was a nice place to sit waiting for my order. Also looking forward to a couple to-go margaritas on the next visit. This was our first visit and will definitely be back!! read more

Holy Moly!! I got takeout, took this home, and decided tomorrow I'll be sitting at the bar. This team is serving up fresh, hot food that is worth its weight in gold, literally. I got into some chicken and beef fajitas, flautas, and a to go frozen marg. The size of Texas and the quality of a southern belle. That meal knocked my socks off. I don't know what they marinate that beef with but it reveals it's flavor in such a pristine way. The chicken is perfectly cooked served hot and ready. And that margarita was to die for. Not too sweet but the perfect flavor for a classic frozen. This service and ambiance was exceptional from what I saw. Chris and Brittany, dual owners from what I understand. Brittany has the social awareness of a grade A politician and the patience of a Pre-K teacher. Chris dishes margaritas and wows a crowd like Tom Cruise in Cocktail. These guys steer this ship like Captain Jack Sparrow. Talk to me nicely. Will be back again, many times, rock with me. Catch you at the bar. #Legendary read more

This place is awesome!! So happy to see Texas brought to Pittsburgh! The food is tremendous - Tex Mex with chicken, steak and shrimp fajitas, flautas, queso, guacamole, chips and salsa all made fresh in house. The homemade tortillas are the bomb!! Loved the bustling vibe and met the owners Brittany and Chris - so nice!! The place was packed and the service was still great. Hard to believe it just opened. The best part - the premium in the rocks margarita! And incredible frozen margaritas that you can even get to go!! Get here fast - so happy it's close to my house. I'll be a frequent customer! read more

Fajita Pete's - Chicken and steak fajitas, delicious rice and beans, awesome queso and Margs!! - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Disappointed, was really looking forward to the opening of this place. Fajitas for Two - Beef - $38, enough for 1 person, maybe with a little extra, no where near enough for two. Cheaper at every other restaurant nearby and you get way more at those places. Definitely not worth the cost. Onions undercooked and there are two slivers of peppers in these. They don't list peppers on the menu so can't be too upset by that but everywhere else gives you peppers and onions, not just onions. Our flour tortillas were also completely raw, smelled like raw dough, chewy, and felt too unsafe to eat. Thankfully we had some extra tortillas left over from another place so we were still able to eat our food but that was extremely disappointing. Queso and salsa are decent, not the best out there. Queso is not worth $9 for a medium cup with chips. Overall, would probably not eat here again. read more

Y'all! We just moved here from Houston TX over a month ago and have tried and tried to find legit Tex-mex and NO ONE has it. It's all gross stewed chicken. By some miracle we stumbled upon Fajita Pete's and stopped in with low expectations. To our disbelief the chicken was actually grilled and so good! Delicious homemade tortillas and guacamole. Awesome sides. My kids even said they wanted to cry that we finally found a spot. It is seriously that good. Price is totally average for good Tex-Mex. I'd even pay more but don't tell them that. This place is a gem! read more

Fajita Pete's - Actually grilled chicken breast for the fajitas! Can't wait to try the beef next time. - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

As always the food was excellent and the service was excellent as well. The portions are very generous and the prices are reasonable too.

So happy to see Tex Mex brought to Pittsburgh! The food is tremendous - chicken, steak and shrimp fajitas fresh and piping hot at your table with grilled onions and a jalapeño. The flautas (we call taquitos in Pittsburgh) are delicious and come with rice and beans. The queso, guacamole, chips and salsa are all made fresh in house. The homemade tortillas are outstanding! They set apart a good Tex Mex restaurant vs Mexican restaurants serving premade tortillas that don't hold up to fajitas. Loved the bustling vibe but it's designed for counter service and communal dining. If you don't like that atmosphere get it to go. The place was packed and the service was still great. Hard to believe it just opened. The best part - a cool little bar and premium margaritas on the rocks. Also frozen margaritas to go - need I say more!! So happy it's close to my house. I'll be a frequent customer! read more

There's just nothing like fresh flour tortillas. When I learned we could get some at Fajita Pete's, I added it to our list of places to try. My husband and I were doing some shopping on a Saturday afternoon at The Block and decided to grab lunch. It's definitely a tiny spot - I believe their business model prioritizes to-go and catering, so that's not surprising. We were able to get seats at the bar & received great service. This isn't Chipotle or Moe's; if you're looking for fast casual, this probably won't meet your expectations. It's cooked to order, INCLUDING (most importantly!) the tortillas. It took probably 20 minutes to get our food. In the meantime, we snacked on chips and fresh salsa, both warm, and the owner gave us samples of their frozen margaritas, which are also available to go. We shared the chicken and beef fajitas for two and an order of churros. We didn't leave with leftovers, but we also didn't leave hungry. We will definitely be back. Yes, it's a franchise chain, but it's better than any other Tex Mex I've had here. It's nice to have a taste of home in the Burgh! read more

Fast, hot, very good takeout to make quick satisfied meal for myself, husband and 2 kids. Ordered the medium family meal, and it was more then enough for us. read more

If you are looking for authentic TexMex, Fajita Pete's is the best spot in Pittsburgh for it. Everything is made from scratch, including their tortillas. We lived in Austin, TX and this was our first TexMex experience that reminded us of the food down there. Highly recommend! read more

Chris was beyond amazing!!! He made sure to take the time to ensure we fully understood not only the menu, but how each dish is quality served. These fajitas are THE BEST in Pittsburgh. QUALITY TexMex is hard to find in Pittsburgh. Coming from the Midwest I've been on the hunt for years. It's safe to say I've finally found my go-to place!!! read more

Picked up take-out this evening because we were in the area. We loved it!! Such real and flavorful food. Highly recommend. We will be back. read more

Not very good food, but my daughter wanted some, so I rushed over only to find that they had closed by 8:13 even though their posted hours said 8:30. I called and got an attitude while I stood outside asking why they were closed. I called the store owner the next day and she was not very accommodating. read more

Good food and very nice people here. This is my 2nd time in this location and I love it

Food was good fresh and hot. Steak fajitas with side of sour cream and a domestic beer was over $28. Bowl of pico, cheese lettuce and guac included. Staff friendly, but not sure it was worth the price. Odd combination or fast food feel with 'assemble your own' presentation. read more

Wow! Delicious Tex Mex. Chicken Flautas were amazing. Came with chips and salsa as well as refried beans and rice. Super affordable too. If you're looking for authentic Tex Mex definitely check this place out. read more

Great food better service. Amazing margaritas. The queso was emasculate. They had on the US open in the inside. I wanted to stay all day!

WOW! This place is wonderful! The food and service are great! Love the rice, beans, tortillas, and the churros were nice surprise!

The people who work here are very nice. But the food was pretty bland, there just wasn't a lot of flavor in anything we got. We got the chicken and shrimp fajitas for 2, with a side of queso. The salsa was actually bad, it tasted like tomato sauce. Like straight up spaghetti sauce. I thought it was a little pricey. Kind of a bummer, I was excited for this place to open but we won't be hurrying back anytime soon. read more

My husband and I were very excited to finally be able to try this new place. Great fast casual Mexican food with great service and delicious food! The owner spent time getting to know us and we definitely will go back again and again. I highly recommend you stop in and try it. I just wish the place was bigger! read more

The food was excellent, especially those hand made tortillas! The owners were so kind and made a point of checking on everyone after they'd gotten their food. And wow was it fast- the food was out within 5 minutes of ordering. My seven year old picky eaters both loved the kid's fajita, rating it a 100 out of 10. We will definitely be back! read more
