For families all over Houston, nothing brings people together quite like sitting around a sizzling platter of fajitas. Now, one of Houston’s most successful restaurateurs is making it easier than ever to enjoy at home.
Arnaldo Richards, chef-owner of Picos Restaurant in Upper Kirby, has launched a new website called FajitaDelivery.com. As its name implies, FajitaDelivery.com provides customers with a way to order beef or chicken fajitas — complete with fresh corn or flour tortillas, housemade corn chips, a choice of rice and beans, and toppings such as guacamole, pico de gallo, red and green salsa, sour cream, and cheddar cheese — for delivery to their homes, offices, or other gatherings.
In addition to its namesake fajitas, Richards is also serving two kinds of enchiladas, the “big as your arm” burrito, and the “big as your face” quesadilla. Those looking for something a little lighter will find three soups and a Southwest taco salad. The six dessert options include tres leches, churros, and flan.
Those looking to feed a crowd will find a la carte meats priced per pound that include two beef options — outside skirt and filet — as well as chicken breast, shrimp brochette, bacon-wrapped quail, sausage, and St. Louis-cut pork ribs. Pair them with a la carte sides available by the pint of quart.
Naturally, the website also offers drinks that start with both frozen and shaken margaritas as well as beer. Non-alcoholic options include aqua frescas, iced tea, and bottled Mexican sodas.
Prices are similar to what people typically pay in a restaurant, with a mixed fajitas meal for two to three priced at $68. Step up to filet for $74.
“Growing up in my household and my culture, food brought people together; memories were made around a table,” Richards said in a statement. “With FajitaDelivery.com, we’re making it easier than ever for Houstonians to enjoy that feeling from wherever they want. Our menu is crafted with love, tradition and the highest quality ingredients, ensuring that every bite is unforgettable.”
Picos, Richards’ restaurant in Upper Kirby, recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. It is known for serving regional Mexican cuisine that includes signature items such as Chilorio (slow roasted, pulled pork), cochinita pibil, and mole coloradito.
