« on: Today at 02:13:01 PM »
Its not news, and its not cooking.  Figured it should be broken out.  Any Houstonians have thoughts about Fajita Petes?  Apparently they are coming to Pittsburgh, and with 3 kids, this looks like exactly the amount of "Mexican" thry can handle.  We have Mad Mex, which makes good margaritas but when their best dish os a "Los Wingos wrap" which is juat a buffalo chicken wrap, that about sums it up.  I would honestly kill for a juat a Chi ChiS

I'm not a Houstonian and I've never heard of this place, but it turns out they have several locations in Austin, a couple of which are pretty close to me.  So now, I have a mission to go check it out and report back to you.

The pictures online look the part, and a quick check of a Houston subreddit shows quite a few folks who say it's good.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Not really true of my kids--we make them eat everything. And although it was hard at first, it worked out...

My favorite with the oldest when he was about 8...


  • Do you like tomatoes? "No."
  • Do you like onion? "No."
  • Do you like garlic? "No."
  • Do you like cilantro? "No."
  • Do you like salsa? "YES!"

Question for @OrangeAfroMan and anyone else familiar with the Phoenix/Glendale area. My wife and I are taking my son to the Luke Combs concert there in a few weeks. Need to figure out where to eat dinner before the show, which is at State Farm Stadium. 

They have a whole entertainment complex across the street, which I'm sure will be easy, but not very interesting. We're staying on the North side of Phoenix (I-17 & Peoria Rd), so anywhere between there and Glendale works.

It kinda sucked when my kids figured out that crab and lobster are awesome. Going out to eat got a lot more expensive.

Not a lot of great places around that area by the stadium. Fleming's is probably your best choice out there.

Do you like German food? There's a really good one on Glendale Road near HWY 60. I went there because DDD went there.

Our oldest is eligible but off the kid menu.  He always goes for the ribs, no matter where we are.  I think he's sent his compliments to the chef at Chilis.  We went out to a new place last week when my parents came in.  Brewery with the typical handhelds, they did have their own brick oven for pizza.  He ordered a full rack of ribs, and ate about 3/4 of it.  My meal was great, my wife loved hers, I tried his ribs, awful.  I will never get why certain places feel the need to throw quickly cooked ribs onto their menu.  It literally has to be for 11 year olds

I remember when my parents made the mistake of letting my then 13 year old brother get the surf and turf at my high school graduation dinner.

Not thinking a steakhouse. It's expensive and not all that "special" for that bougie kid.

Might try Pappadeaux, which I just saw has a location near the hotel.

I'll check out that German place though... If nothing else it's unique and local. Thanks!

I'd say restaurant ribs are bad--or at the very least mediocre--about 95% of the time. My kids know if they want ribs they need to ask me to make them :72:
