Cheap Mexican food is easy to find, but cheap sit-down Mexican is not so forthcoming. Luckily, Fajitas & 'Ritas in Downtown Crossing offers south-of-the-border eats with less cafeteria-style ambiance. Whether you're looking for appetizers and pitchers of margaritas or a full meal, there's plenty on the menu that will satisfy.The nachos are a great place to start, a huge platter of chips and cheese, starting at just $2.86. Choose your own toppings, like the tomato, olive, and guacamole nachos pictured above. Or go for a plate of sizzling fajitas or a gooey quesadilla for a filling meal. And yes, the drinks are cheap and strong and make a great accompaniment to the food (or is it the other way around?). Frozen margaritas start at just over $4 each or $11.60 for a pitcher.
Fajitas and 'Ritas is located at 25 West Street, just off Tremont Street. They open daily at 11:30am and close Sunday at 8pm, Monday and Tuesday at 9pm, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 10pm, and Friday at 11pm.

ReplyDeleteGoodness, that place has the worst Mexican food ever.
ReplyDeleteLast time I went to that place, I was distracted by the mouse running by the bar.....so not a fan.
ReplyDeleteThen I won't have to see either of you there, which is fine by me!
ReplyDeleteYeah, hate to dogpile you, but that place is the WORST Mexican restaurant I ever went to. Bland food, rude waiters, warm beer, and kinda grungy. I wouldn't even bring it up but my meal was so bad I actually wrote a letter to the owner.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Timmy, for being man enough to use a name while dissing me.
ReplyDeleteBased on my experience, the food was decent (not amazing, which I never said) - an acceptable cheap eats. It wasn't dinner at Excelsior, but it was clean and our service was fine. But then, I'm not expecting haute cuisine when I want some cheese melted on a pile of chips...
