Dishes to know on this menu

Fajitas: Grilled strips of meat served with tortillas and accompaniments, often arriving at U.S. restaurants on a dramatically sizzling metal platter with onions and peppers. Fajitas developed in the ranching and border culture of Texas and northern Mexico and became a Tex-Mex restaurant staple. The name comes from faja, referring to the strip or belt-like cut associated with skirt steak. Chicken, shrimp and other versions are now common. Alambre is a different Mexican dish that may scratch a similar itch: chopped grilled meat with peppers and onions, often with bacon and melted cheese. On this menu as: Fajitas (Beef or Chicken) · 50/50 Fajitas · Ribeye Fajitas.
Enchiladas: Tortillas filled, rolled or folded and served with chile sauce or another sauce. Corn tortillas are traditional, but preparation varies widely by region. Rojas use a red sauce, while verdes use a green sauce. Enmoladas replace the chile sauce with mole, and enfrijoladas use a bean sauce. Enchiladas suizas are typically topped with a creamy green sauce and melted cheese. Tex-Mex enchiladas developed their own traditions, including versions topped with cheese, chile con carne or chile gravy. On this menu as: Brisket Enchiladas · Enchilada Dinner.
Carne asada: Grilled beef, chopped or sliced for tacos, burritos and plates. Skirt, flank and other relatively thin cuts are common, with seasoning ranging from little more than salt to marinades containing citrus, garlic or other ingredients. Carne asada is particularly associated with northern Mexico and is also the name for the social tradition of gathering around a grill for a carne asada cookout. On this menu as: Carne Asada.
Baja fish tacos: The classic Ensenada-style fish taco pairs battered and fried fish with a corn tortilla, shredded cabbage, creamy sauce, salsa and lime. The style is strongly associated with Baja California and has had an enormous influence on Southern California taco culture. Menus may also offer grilled fish or similarly prepared shrimp tacos. On this menu as: Tony's Fish Tacos.
Quesadillas: A tortilla folded around a filling and cooked on a griddle or comal. Cheese is standard in many regions, but Mexico City famously complicates the definition: there, a quesadilla may need cheese specifically requested. Fillings can include squash blossom, huitlacoche, mushrooms, meat and many other ingredients. Flour-tortilla quesadillas are particularly common in northern Mexico and the United States. A mulita, associated with northern Baja and Southern California taquerías, sandwiches meat and melted cheese between tortillas. On this menu as: Beef or Chicken Fajita Quesadilla.
Nachos: Tortilla chips topped with cheese and usually chiles, with modern versions ranging from a very simple snack to a fully loaded plate covered with beans, meat, crema, guacamole and other toppings. Nachos are generally credited to Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, who created the dish in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, near the Texas border, in the 1940s. The heavily loaded version became a fixture of Tex-Mex and Mexican-American restaurants. On this menu as: Beef or Chicken Fajita Nachos.
