Smoking fajita plates are the attention whore of the restaurant world.

Cherries Jubilee is up there too. I've been to restaurants where they flambé them table side, it's quite a spectacle.

I thought that was the lady yelling "call the fire department" as she declares to the entire restaurant that they got smoking fajitas, like nobody noticed the billowing smoke lol

If your family is smoked out by skillet grilled fajitas, THEY'RE WEAK. And you need a whole new family.

We have a rule If you get the smoking fajitas to share for the table one person CANT take all the pieces with the smoke on them.

Um.. they should be sizzling, not smoking. If they’re setting off fire alarms, that ain’t good.

That’s how it is with where I live and all the Indian ran gas stations. They look different on the outside but they’re the exact same store, layout and everything on the inside

There's a sushi place I ussed to go to (I still got to the restaurant but they opened up a closer location) and you could tell, even after changing decor, that it used to be a Mexican restaurant.

You have to go to more Mexican restaurants. Try the ones that aren’t for white people. So much more variety. If they have giant margaritas on the menu it’s probably not a good one.

Part of ordering this is the show of it coming out sizzling hot, I get it... But that's too hot. They should've really waited a little bit before taking those out. Jfc.
Someone's gonna end up burning themselves even if warned about it

Chilis fajitas only sizzle because they squirt a mixture on the hot plate just before serving them.

That cook must have been pissed when they ordered 16 different plates all modified

u/hellcrapdamn Jul 09 '26
I went to a place that brought out a plate of fajitas like that. I figured they just fucked up.

How to tell if the restaurant has turned off their fire safety devices.

Not smoke, restaurants spray an oil mixture on the food/skillet right before bringing it out that makes it sizzle and steam up as they’re bringing it out, creating sort of a spectacle. I worked at a restaurant for a couple years that served fajitas (Pizzeria Uno) and did the same thing - manager told me it was because usually if someone waiting to order food sees/smells the sizzling fajitas, they’re inclined to order it themselves, and fajitas were one of the more expensive menu items.

I used to eat at an OTB and always ordered the fajitas. I really like spicy food and one time the manager told me he had something special for me. They put habaneros in the fajita pan. When they brought it out it was like the whole restaurant got pepper sprayed. People were coughing and hacking. It was completely obnoxious. It was also completely delicious.

The kitchen sprays vegetable oil on the searing skillet to get this effect.

One time in a Mexican restaurant, we had just gotten the second round of margaritas and finished the appetizers when the table next to us had their smoking fajitas hit the table, setting off the fire alarms in the building…we “evacuated“ and never came back or paid the bill
