Best Fajitas in Fort Worth.

The best fajitas in Fort Worth are at Pappasito's. Hands down.

The fajita meat at Pappa's is marinated for two days. I know, I helped open the store 12 years ago and watched how they did it. The extra marination makes the fajita meat very tender.

The best time to enjoy their fajitas is on Wednesday night. Why? The fajitas-for-two-dinner, normally $32, is $16. That's fajitas for 2 with all the extras: fresh, hot, flour tortillas, chips, beans, rice, salsa --- and -- half price drinks during happy hour.

I have been to Pappasito's several times this last month on Wednesday night and the place is packed. I have always believed Pappas made the best fajitas in town, getting them half-price makes them taste even better.

Conclusion: they taste delicious, the portions are huge, and the price is the best in town. What else is there?

Trust me -- try it.

Wednesday night. Fajitas for 2, half-price.

Fort Worth Opera, 2009 and 2010 Season.

In the August 2009 issue of Opera News, Fort Worth Opera was favorably reviewed for their 2009 season: The opening paragraph of a long review:
Add a new destination to the American opera-festival circuit. In only its third run as a spring-to-summer festival, Fort Worth Opera, this year, offered casting as good as you'd get in Sante Fe, and more consistent than in recent years at Glimmerglass or St. Louis. In the pit, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra played with more finesses than even the St Louis Symphony.
Classical music and Opera are finding audiences thought impossible just a few years ago. Texas is the a major contributor to that trend, as well as to traditional folk, country, jazz, and independent label music of many genres. Austin's SXSW (South by SouthWest) is the most popular but just one of Texas' many music festivals.

Congratulations to the Fort Worth Opera for the complimentary reviews.

The 2010 season looks promising to me. Give it a try.
