I realize there is a health kick going on in America. Heck, I've been on the (band)wagon myself, and I know it's not that easy to find variety, but people, this is why chicken was created. Procure poultry, por favor!
The other thing that bothers me about Shrimp Fajitas is quantity. Full price for fewer pieces? This is a bigger conspiracy than UFO's, Kennedy, and why Dick Clark doesn't age.
Enough with the casual observation of Oceanic Produce. We are on a mission. The atmosphere is quaint, casual, and not overly Tejano. You know the places... adobe and stucco meets piñata royale? Seems the interior decorator was looking for a more modern feel. Light and airy. Unfortunately, so was the fajita plate. Light and airy... not enough fajita meat to really get into the groove. Fajitatease is the phrase I will use to describe this mentality.
The one thing that really stood out is that the chicken and shrimp fajitas had a tinge of orange to them. Seems they were powdered with a cajunesque cayanne pepper rouge. I can hear the conversation in the kitchen now... "At least they weren't glowing. I hate when that happens." Thing is, it pulls away from the flavor, distracting the true questor from the true meat of the quest...the meat itself! Again, we have a good intention with a poor execution. Other than that, the meat was moist, the condiments were available by request... the usual fare. Not spectacular, but sufficient.
