From Reddit

I used to work there a couple years ago...

Chicken breasts are cooked on a grill with garlic butter and seasoning and over mesquite wood. The seasoning was not mixed in house and I never paid attention to the ingredients on the box. In an older thread someone said they used to be a kitchen manager and it is "lawry's seasoning salt". I can't confirm that but it looks identical to what we used. We very generously seasoned both sides of the chicken. The mesquite wood flavoring is likely going to be the hardest thing for you to replicate at home. If you want steak ones they were cooked on the same grill with the same seasoning but soy sauce not garlic butter. The cut is skirt steak. Shrimp is pan fried with garlic butter and cajun seasoning.

The vegetables are just cut up onion, green and red pepper cooked in vegetable oil on a flat top. You can get the same result in a pan at home. Rice is a basic Mexican rice recipe any one you find on google will be good and probably better (I always found the rice bland).

In previous threads people said some chains pour "sizzle sauce" or lime juice etc. before serving. We did not do that. You can buy like the exact same fajita pans on amazon if you really want the experience. Make sure you heat up the metal part real hot or it won't sizzle nicely.


Personal Notes

  • Next time:
    • try without Italian dressing
    • just a little soy sauce
  • Cook the steak at 500+ F
  • Make sure you have even coals
  • Cooking peppers and onions:

  • A hot cast iron pan might be good to keep the steak hot after pulling from the grill. Put onions and peppers on the pan first, followed by the steak cut into strips.
