View our fajita menu here before you dine in, pick up, or order for delivery. Cesar’s in Lakeview, Chicago offers the best options.
A fajita is a Tex-Mex meal consisting of stripped grilled meat (vegetables can be substituted) served with grilled peppers, tomatoes, and onions brought to the table on a sizzling plate for personal assembly on a flour or corn tortilla. Usually accompanied by guacamole, cilantro, and sour cream garnishes.
The Cesarโs version of fajitas adds a killer white wine marinade that makes everything taste just more delicious. Itโs just one reason why Cesarโs has been a favored dining destination for over 25 years.
All Cesarโs fajitas pair fantastically with a margarita and are a great menu choice for an authentic Mexican lunch or dinner. We offer a wide variety of fajitas from seafood to meat to vegetarian or a mix of three. See below and prepare to get hungry!

What People Are Saying
Ole to Cesar's. Where else can you buy jumbo Margaritas and the regular Margarita is huge too? The food is delicious. The chicken fajitas are large and...
This place knocked our socks off and we still havenโt been able to put them back on. We were originally seated at the bar, where it was quite crowded. And then Juan pulled us aside and asked if weโd like a table after seeing it was a bit tight. Juan introduced himself and took the time to talk to us, as well as brought out multiple margarita flavors for us to try. We got the elotes to start, followed by the fajitas and super burrito. Food was delicious and fresh. Service was immaculate. And Juan was amazing, no wonder he has been there 22 years! Highly recommend for casual Mexican.
Stopped here for lunch and had a great time. The staff is super friendly and welcoming.The place gives of a cool vibe. We were given chips and salsa to munch on while we decide on the menu. The salsa was so tasty, I could just keep eating the chips and salsa. We ordered the fiesta platter, shrimp tacos , and chicken fajita. For drinks we had the pina colada and mango margarita. Each of the dishes were a 10/10. The tacos were so mouthwatering delicious.Absolutely loved it. The mango margarita was by far the best margarita I have ever had. It deserves the name 'killer margarita'. You have to go to Cesar's Chicago and have their crazy good margarita!!

The margaritas are definitely the star here. They have good flavors and theyโre always delicious I can only handle 1 mega because they sneak up on you! I love the atmosphere, usually other diners are friendly and having a good time. Service is always good. Last time I was there for lunch and had the Queso Birria. It was flavorful and very good. Would definitely get it again. Also enjoyed the fajitas and nacho fries but the Birria was my favorite. Had the churros and cookie for dessert. Both were yummy. I was stuffed and still ate the dessert so that says a lot! Some of my favorite margaritas in the city.
Had the absolute best time at Cesar's killer margaritas! The staff is friendly and fun, the drinks are the stars of the show! So much variety to select from I'll definitely have to try new margaritas every time I go in! Food was amazing we got the chicken and steak fajita and it was so delicious. There's also fresh chips and home made salsa!
Cesar's is hand's down one of my favorite spots to grab some quality margaritas and mexican food. I've been coming here for years, and I will say the food has definitely improved so much since I first started coming here! The quesabirria was incredibly cheesy and the fajitas were delicious. Their portions are generous, and you will NOT regret having a marg with your meal.
We loved dining at Cesarโs! The margs are huge and fajita were delicious. Definitely a solid neighborhood spot!!
