    Chuys is pretty nice. Not the lowest you can go but I think it is a step below el tiempo/ pappasitos as far as price goes.

    What's wrong with Lupe Tortilla? This is probably my favorite

    I thought you coined a cool nickname for the place because you go there so often.

    Guadalajara Hacienda is excellent. Really good fajitas! In my opinion, much better than Pappasito's

    Just have one of the better places for lower prices.....Pappasito's has half price fajitas for 2 on Wednesday's. Some other suggestions, some of which have been mentioned:

    Chuy's
    El Patio
    Los Cucos
    Chacho's
    Rucci's
    Hugo's
    Pancho's (all you can eat!)
    Gringo's
    Los Tios
    Lupe Tortilla
    Mamacitas

    Good, but not cheap:

    Guadalajara
    Escalante's
    Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen
    Canyon Cafe

    This is another one I don't like. They do have a cantaloupe drink that is okay, but homemade cantaloupe juice is superior.

    Truly cheap and good Tex Mex is surprisingly hard to find IMO. I like El Rey, and an under the radar Tortas El Angel on Shepherd near 11th.

    Closer to downtown, Tacos Tierra Caliente - the taco truck across from Alabama Ice House - is decent.

    El Timepiece is the place Tex mex around. The best fajitas.

    I think you might like Gringos.

    I like the way you put it prior to autocorrect.

    El Timepiece it is.

    It's my favorite tex mex joint also.

    A little too Lime'y for my taste sometimes. Other times spot on. Not as good as the filet fajitas at El Timepiece though
