Fajitas are pretty standard fare in Lubbock, Texas, but who truly does them best?
I remember when fajitas first arrived in the Hub City. The first business in Lubbock that I recall serving and promoting this then-exotic dish was the 50th Street Caboose. Decades later, the Caboose is still going strong and still serving up delicious fajitas.
My own first taste came at a friend’s backyard barbecue. Since then, I’ve leaned toward smoked and sizzling fajita meat, grilled peppers, and a little fresh pico de gallo on a warm flour tortilla. That’s the kind of meal that sticks with you. Now that I’ve whetted your appetite, let’s talk about how we’re judging the contenders.
