Michael and I have been talking a lot about how we probably come off as bitter old fogies on this blog – or worse, spastically angry people with completely irrational moods.
Well, we’re all those things, but we still like some stuff. A lot of stuff. There wouldn’t be much point to living if you didn’t like something.
If you’re not local, you won’t care about Fajita Grande, located in Frederick, Maryland, off route 40. If you’re local, and you’ve never heard of it, it is tasty.
It’s popular for good booze specials and they make some good and interesing margaritas. The chips are free and plentiful. The queso tastes like real cheese. And the food is good, and cheap. Cheaper than a tex-mex chain. There are vegetarian options, and they’re not bad (the spinach enchilada is a good choice), but the chicken enchiladas and the chicken tamales are simply fantastic. They serve them with some fantastic tomatillo sauce and rice and beans. I don’t care much for their beans or rice, but damn, anywhere that has a tamale of the day on the menu is a place I want to be. Usually they have a chicken tamale and then either shredded beef or pork. Michael is so impressed with the enchiladas that he orders them every time, and he is not the kind of person who orders the same thing. They’re just darn good, darn cheap and pretty darn nice. There can be a wait on Friday nights, but I rarely have a hard time getting seated or finding a parking space.
There you are – we like Fajita Grande.

That sounds awesome! Do you know anything about the fajitas?
Have we ever had the fajitas at Fajita Grande, Kara? I don’t think we have.
The sushi we had at that French place the other night sure was tasty, though.
My mother’s favorite food is fajitas; that’s why I ask. We’ll be going there in the next week. Thanks for the recommendation!
I suppose I should mention we are the only grown-up people I’ve seen there NOT getting fajitas. That makes me think they must be good, but I have a tendency to avoid them, mostly because of price (I think they still run a couple bucks more than the enchiladas and stuff, but they’re about the same price as the big entrees they have, which we’ve never gotten).
