This one has been on the list of places to go for a while, and all it took was winning a bet against my boyfriend for him to take me there, which is a shame because this place is gold, and now that I know how good it is, it is dangerously close to where I live!
They do daily deals in the menu, and on a Thursday when we were there it is 2 for 1 drinks, as long as they are the exact same drink. This is a fantastic deal, especially when the drinks are already decently priced to begin with. I would definitely love to go back with some of my gal pals and make use of that deal and the cocktails, but sadly my boyfriend could not be convinced about the cocktails so a local beer on tap it was for us.
It’s not a huge menu but there is everything you need on it. Dips, starters and decently priced mains, that’s all I need in my life. We got the Queso Fundido to share, which was the first time my boyfriend had queso. He wasn’t a fan of the Jalapenos (he doesn’t handle spice very well) but loved the chorizo addition. The corn chips were fresh, and I can only assume homemade, and even without the dip were delicious and perfectly salty
We followed up with a Chimichanga each, which is not the most common mexican meal in Australia. We normally have our burritos plain, not deep fried. What I really appreciated is that the Vegetarian option was Jackfruit, and not just a vegetable medley. Jackfruit isn’t the easiest ingredient to whip up, but it is delicious, and gives you a much more meaty texture. I (obviously) got the Jackfruit whilst my boyfriend got the beef brisket. We both devoured ours in minutes, but the star of the dish was the toppings, the charred tomato salsa balanced out by sour cream and cheese was the best part, and the part I had to leave until the end so it was my very last mouthful. When you hear deep-fried burrito, you hear oil and batter and something that makes you feel disgusting after you were finished eating, but this was so well done it wasn’t the case at all. All the flavours stood on their own and didn’t need to be doused in oil and fat.
Sadly, we didn’t get to try out anything on the dessert menu, as my boyfriend’t nut allergy normally interferes with that, but I know that I am going to be going back soon so I wasn’t too worried about that.
I give Flying Fajita Sistas 5 out of 5, I will be back there digging in again soon!
