Mexican Restaurant Chain Opening First PA Location In Ross

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — Fajita Pete's, a Houston-based fast casual Mexican restaurant chain, will open its first Pennsylvania location in The Block Northway this fall.

The chain announced Wednesday that it has closed on a four-unit restaurant agreement with Chris and Brittny Mabry of Pittsburgh. The second location will be somewhere in the South Hills; locations for the other two units have not been determined.

Specializing in handmade Tex-Mex favorites, Fajita Pete’s offerings feature made-to-order flame-grilled beef, chicken, shrimp, and veggies in a tangy, citrusy mixture, fresh tortillas and fresh flautas, and made from scratch sides including rice, beans, salsa, guacamole, and queso.

In addition to takeout, delivery, and catering, the 1,900-square-foot restaurant will offer seating for 30 guests inside, as well as margaritas, beer and select tequilas. Hours will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Friday and noon to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The first Pittsburgh location will bring Fajita Pete’s nationwide restaurant count to 31 across four states. Additional Fajita Pete’s restaurants are slated to open in 2023 in Austin, Chicago, and Dallas- Ft. Worth.
