The gorgeous girls I ate this meal with would realise how far behind I am on blog posts. We visited Flying Fajita Sisters on a Friday night, after some time trying to organise a booking. My first perception of the joint was warmth and friendliness. The staff were dressed in Mexican attire and the restaurant was decked with bold Mexican colours (think oranges and reds) and of course, the whimsical "Flying Fajita Sisters." We were given a bowl of marinated olives on arrival, which is always a nice touch.
I ordered the chimichanga which is best described as a crisp flour tortilla packed full of tasty pulled pork. The little additions made this dish special: the guacamole, fine-cut olives and tomato salsa. One of my friends ordered the chicken fajitas, which allows the diner to construct their own fajitas and would be great with groups. From the way the chicken was picked at, I'm guessing it was delicious. My other friend ordered the prawn and chorizo dish and although she said these two elements were packed with flavour, there was not much excitement from the rest of the meal: mainly the red cabbage and the side salad.
Overall, I really enjoyed the food I had at the restaurant. It was definitely more refined than the Mexican at Montezuma's, but perhaps not as homely. Same goes with the staff. I did like the personal touches however: the olives on arrival and the cute greeting card that encased the bill.
