I'm 'picky' when it comes to Mexican or Mexican-like food so I may be a bit different. Hardly any restaurant knows how to make good red rice, so generally I skip it. I don't eat cheese or sour cream so I always order fajitas without. Also since I don't eat meat, my order at a tex-mex type place is generally veggie fajitas with beans, no cheese, no sour cream. If I get rice, then I generally take it home to the dogs or maybe my husband if he wants it.

If I go to a more traditional restaurant where fajitas aren't offered, I have to navigate around lard and chicken stock but generally I can find something that is half decent.
