Food was very good. Server was polite and attentive to our needs. We are from out of area but I would eat there again. Salsa could be a little spicier...

Stopped in here for dinner last night based on the reviews. As you can see based on my rating, it's unlikely I'll be back.With a name like Las Fajitas, it's pretty much a no brainer to try the fajitas, right? That's what I thought. So I order the regular fajitas with beef. Prior to bringing my meal to the table, they brought me some stale chips. Not a great start, but give the guys a chance. The carrots from the salsa bar were good. My meal came out quickly but that's where the exceeding of expectations ended. The beef was a thin piece of carne asada cut into strips and served alongside some grilled veggies on a plate. I've eaten fajitas for many years and have never seen it presented like this. I don't need the sizzling cast iron, but the beef, chicken, or shrimp are always mixed in with the veggies. Aren't they? The beef was tough because it was overcooked. Easy to do with such a thin cut. But it also lacked seasoning. No flavor. So I went back to the salsa bar and their most popular salsa bowl was empty. At least the grilled onions and peppers were good. So... Not a stellar showing for Las Fajitas.

I used to visit this place when it was in Newport Beach. Now they are closer to muy office and they’re food is amazing. A nice twist on mexican foot with a touch of modern, healthy and fresh.

I absolutely loved eating here. Amazing fresh home made sauces and warm fresh chips.Green Chilaquiles were so good, the green sauce was fresh made and made my mouth water.

I had the pastor tacos. They were on point. Will be coming back soon. I believe I found my new taco spot, since Chelas. Moved to San

This place is a hidden gem! The staff is so sweet and attentive! Especially Sandra and Jorge! They always take great care of us when we are here. You need to get the tacos de Asada! & also the shrimp cocktail. Delicious! I've gone back 3 times since I found this place.

Fajita fiesta- ask for black beans and corn tortillas. It's my go-to and never fails! Chicken, steak & shrimp with delicious grilled veggies.

Was actually looking for a restaurant I thought was in the same parking lot but wasn't, and saw Las Fajitas so we decided to try them after checking out Yelp. Had the cheese enchiladas and chips and guacamole. Both were absolutely delicious and it was a lot of food for the price. They have such a big menu I have the feeling we will be back to try something else. The customer service was great as well.

Would have been nice to get chicken in the chicken soup I ordered, instead of just vegetables… Their famous guacamole has a ton of food coloring to keep it green. Just a heads up for people thinking it’s always fresh.

I have been coming here for a couple of years it seems, right around the time that I started working at a new job. I usually order the ground beef tacos and the steak tacos. I like the tacos and the chips and the salsa bar. I have also tried the burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, tortas, soups, and salads but I end up going with the tacos most of the time. It seems to be a family running the business and they have always been friendly and kind each time I've been there. My favorite cut of beef is ranchera. Thanks.

One person working. No orders ahead and no other customers besides me. It took the server 5 minutes to acknowledge me. After placing the order almost 15 minutes go by and the food is not ready still (I only ordered 2 tacos). I then ask the server where the food is, she said "oh its been sitting ready to go, I will have the cook bag it for you". Not even a sorry. Now for the food.. horrible!! Even El Pollo Loco tastes better. The chicken was dried out, the tortillas were soggy, the beans and chips had no salt at all. Everything tasted so bland. For the price you pay, you'd expect better service and food. This is the second time I have been here, and it has failed to deliver both times.

Careful, the plate is hot. How many times have you heard that? Well this time it was the real deal. It was so hot it would send an Ove Glove up in flames. I came here for an early dinner on a Saturday evening. It's located in an old strip mall with a couple other small restaurants and a Salvation Army store. Take a seat at any open table and order from a menu or go to the front counter and order off the gigantic menu on the wall. I think either way is okay. I ordered a combination plate with a cheese enchilada and carnitas taco (combos come with the standard rice & beans). I munched on some chips while waiting for my meal to arrive. There is a salsa bar to choose whichever one you want to accompany your chips and to spice up your food. I also enjoyed a horchata which was excellent even though it wasn't homemade. The cheese enchilada was thin and super cheesy while the taco was so stuffed with shredded pork and other fillings and the tortilla so soft that it was impossible to pick up without it completely falling apart. The pork was lightly seasoned and some salsa was definitely needed to give it some oompf. Thanks to that hot plate all my food was plenty warm right down to the last bite. I also had some churros which were made to order so they were fresh and hot. The chocolate drizzle and the cup of caramel provided for dipping made this a sweet dessert that I thoroughly enjoyed. Service by the lone young woman who was taking care of tables and phone orders was spectacular; kudos to her for doing an efficient job with a smile, sparkle, and charm. Although you'd probably not know about it unless you did a yelp search, it's a pretty decent option for Mexican fare.
