I loved the salas and even the cheese sauce. the orig review for the restaraunt described the cheese sace as "buttery" and couldn't have been more spot on. One thing that I didn't expect was that they had the most incredible dessert.. the oreo mud pie!!! this was worth the drive all by its self. Oreo, ice cream, caramel and fudge perfection.

I know people like to hate on Ted's, but authentic or not, they use a much better quality meat than every other mexican joint in town (or, at least, the dozen or so I've been to). No exceptions for Red Onion. Their meat is tasty, but it's just not the same kind of quality. The salsa was delicious, cheese sauce also uniquely good, but that's pretty much where the flavor ended on my trip there. The rice was kind of boring, beans mediocre, and the veggie fajitas were completely devoid of flavor. Not to say the Red Onion doesn't have its charms, but I expected better after seeing this review giving them the "best fajitas in town" title and aside from the "free stuff", got the same ol' standard fare.

As far as Ted's...their fajitas don't sizzle anymore and they've lost their luster as its happened more than once. Red Onions' Cheese sauce is fantastic - very buttery and delicious - the relish is fresh and not canned. I'd go more often if they were closer to me...

I think since it's such a familiar name, he was just making a playful switch there for no real reason. Sorry for the confusion.

I can't confirm if they are the best in town because I haven't tried them anywhere else...I go to the Red Onion strictly for their fajitas. They do have great fajitas.

Not bad. I just wish they wouldn't water down the cheese sauce. What is it with everyone diluting the queso in this town? I’ve been to Red Onion a few times. Not bad.
