If you’re craving fresh, sizzling fajitas but hesitate to leave the house, don’t worry — Fajita Pete’s brings flavorful fajitas right to your doorstep.
Opening in October last year, Fajita Pete’s is a Tex-Mex restaurant that delivers locally sourced Mexican food to you, no matter where you’re at. Before co-owner John Gonzalez managed his own restaurant in Southlake, he was a private banker for Fajita Pete’s CEO Pete Mora. When he heard about the concept, he knew he had to open his own franchise.
“The concept is to have a smaller dining area and have the majority of the space dedicated to the kitchen, so they can prepare larger orders, make deliveries and cater to parties,” John’s wife and co-owner Patricia says. “John just fell in love with it and wanted to bring it to Southlake.”
Fajita Pete’s has no shortage of sensational Tex- Mex cuisine to offer, including its beef, chicken or shrimp fajitas, hand-rolled tortillas and fresh flautas, salsa, guacamole and queso made to order. The mango, strawberry and classic margaritas provide a chilly complement to your meal in half or full gallons, and whether you indulge in its tres leches, churros or sopapillas, you won’t be dissatisfied with the end of your meal.
Patricia says it was scary and challenging to open their own restaurant, especially in the middle of a pandemic. Thankfully its delivery-based model gave Fajita Pete’s the flexibility to succeed in an unpredictable time.
“I hope it becomes a staple in the community — a place that people will remember and think of whenever they want fresh food delivered straight to their home, office or a Dragon football game,” Patricia says. “We want to see Fajita Pete’s not only survive, but thrive in Southlake.”
