Indulge in everything Mexican at Fahita!

Sharjah is such a discovery sometimes. Well, most of the times. And remember when I said the University City area is booming with amazing food joints? Well, I wasn’t wrong. Say hello to Fahita! Been around for a year and recently turned 1, this place specializes in a compact selection of delicious Mexican sandwiches, quesadillas, burrito bowls and a very refreshing range of Mexican colas.

We tried almost everything off the menu and were totally impressed with not only their variety but also their use of fresh ingredients and made to order cooking.

Take a look at their tiny yet colorful outlet and read on for more on their food!

Jarritos Mexican Colas

Take a look at this amazingly colorful collection of Jarritos Mexican colas at Fahita. Available in 8 different flavors, these chilled drinks are perfect for the season. And with so much variety, you are sure to find the flavor you prefer. But hey, that does not mean you can have only one! Go all out and try at least 2 or 3. You will still keep coming back for more!

The flavours in this picture are as follows: Mandarin, Mango, Lime, Guava, Fruit Punch, Grapefruit, Mexican Cola and Tamarind.

We tried out their Mango and Mexican Cola. And since we were at the restaurant for lunch in this scorching UAE heat, these drinks totally wowed us with their refreshing flavors!

Sandwiches & Subs

Sandwiches were plenty at Fahita. Plus, the ingredients were grilled and sautéed right in front of us on their hot plates, which really upped the taste. The sesame breads, oh em gee, they were soft like cotton, and the grilled chicken breast in both the sandwiches was cooked and spiced perfectly inside and out.

This is the Crunchy Fahita and comes with mozzarella cheese, peppers, onions and mushrooms in addition to the protein. This sandwich is served with a side of crunchy spicy Fahita chips as well as special avocado sauce and hot sauce.

The is the Mexicana, which is very true to the very essence of the restaurant. This one too has mozzarella cheese, peppers, onions and mushrooms along with the grilled chicken, but includes more toppings of corn, iceberg lettuce, jalapenos and mayo. Don’t miss the hot red chilli with this sandwich which perfectly highlights the spice level of this sandwich, while also adding a pop of color.

Just when we were thinking we were done, our kind host placed this Guacamole & Beef Sub in front of us. And we could obviously not say no! Totally spoiling you for choice, this sandwich comes with Italian submarine bread packing within sauteed beef, lettuce, tomato, white cheese, guacamole, mayo and hot sauce. Wonderfully filling and tasty.

Quesadilla

Mexican food cannot be complete without Quesadillas, and our visit couldn’t be complete without trying out these favorites. These chicken quesadillas have all the classic elements that make it so good. Right from the tortilla to the grilled chicken and all the fillings – red beans, peppers, onions, corn and tomatoes – this one was perfect. And the side servings of sour cream and guacamole made sure we didn’t miss out on the complete Mexican experience.

There’s not much you can do to stop yourself from falling in love with such wonderfully presented food. Right from the sandwiches and subs to the quesadillas, everything was presented on a wooden board. And then came these bowls of delicacy.

Fahita fries

The Fahita fries start with freshly fried crisp golden French fries, followed by layers of melted cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos and hot sauce. These spicy cheesy fries are served in true Mexican style with sour cream and guacamole sides.

Burrito Bowl

The Burrito Bowl comes with a lovely healthy mix of everything that delicious dreams are made of. With Mexican rice at the base, it has a little of everything – grilled chicken, corn, purple cabbage, green leaves, beans, peppers, tomato salsa, grated cheddar and that lovely avocado. The dressings are quite light too with a lemon vinaigrette and spicy tomatoey green sauce served alongside.
