Houston-based Fajita Pete's, a Tex-Mex restaurant chain, is opening its third Austin location in the Westlake community at 3736 Bee Cave Road. The addition accompanies MoPac and Cedar Park locations and brings Fajita Pete's nationwide unit count to 30 across Texas, Colorado and Kansas, with Illinois, Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico on deck in the next six months.

"Austinites understand good, quality Tex-Mex so it is very exciting for us to bring the Fajita Pete's menu to more of the Austin community," Austin franchisee Michael Blalock said in a company press release. "We look forward to welcoming even more guests to enjoy our delicious offerings."

Each store has a footprint ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 square feet, and over 97% of orders are related to pick-up, delivery or catering.

"Since 2020, restaurants have been trying to find ways to become more streamlined while still providing great food and service," Pedro Pete Mora, founder of Fajita Pete's said in the release. "Luckily for us, we've been perfecting that balance for 15 years."
