Park Street Deli Chicken Fajitas

EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2026. 

Many years ago, when my children were very young, there was a local mall that had a Tex-Mex restaurant. It wasn’t the greatest restaurant, but it was good. The atmosphere was relaxed and the waiters and waitresses were kind. I have fond memories of eating there with my growing little family.

The restaurant and the mall are gone, but the memories remain. For me, those memories include my favorite item on the menu: fajitas. As with many eateries, the fajitas came out on a sizzling plate, a beautiful spread of meats and veggies, all ready to be assembled into a tortilla. Even when I have fajitas at other places, I still think of that little restaurant.

I love how I can make fajitas at home, even using all Aldi ingredients. The best way is with my own ingredients, but Aldi is known to sell shortcuts, too. We’ve tried out the limited-buy Aldi shrimp variety, for example, which is good. Several years ago, Aldi added another fajita option to its shelves. Better yet, this one is available in the store all year long.

Park Street Deli Chicken Fajitas are an Aldi Regular Buy, which means you can find them in stores every day. You can find them in the grocer’s refrigerated section. (In case it wasn’t obvious, there are no tortillas included. You can buy those separately.) These fajitas are sold alongside some other meat options, including burnt ends, pulled pork, and pulled beef brisket.

A 16-ounce container cost $5.89 in 2026, or about 37 cents an ounce. That’s down from $6.49 when we first reviewed this in 2022.

Nutrition Facts and Ingredients:

One package contains about three 5-ounce servings. One serving has 100 calories, 2 grams of total fat (3% DV), no saturated fat, 770 mg of sodium (33% DV), 8 grams of total carbohydrates (3% DV), 2 grams of dietary fiber (7% DV), 3 grams of total sugars, 1 gram of added sugars (2% DV), and 12 grams of protein.

Ingredients include grilled chicken breast (contains up to 20% water, seasoning [salt, natural flavors, chili pepper, dehydrated garlic, dehydrated onion, chipotle pepper powder, maltodextrin, citric acid, lime juice solids]), sauce (chili verde sauce [water, tomatillos, green chili pepper, onion, vinegar, modified corn starch, natural flavors, cilantro, sugar, chicken broth concentrate [chicken stock, natural flavor, sugar, yeast extract], garlic, sea salt, canola oil lime juice concentrate, red chili flakes, cayenne pepper), water, seasoning (salt, natural flavors, chili pepper, dehydrated garlic, dehydrated onion, chipotle pepper powder, maltodextrin, citric acid, lime juice solids), vegetables (red and green bell peppers, onions).

Heating Instructions:

The fajitas container notes that it can be frozen. However, the instructions say it should be defrosted before being cooked. To defrost, it says to place in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours and to use the product within 3 days of defrosting.

There are two ways to cook the fajitas: microwave (recommended) and stovetop. To cook in the microwave, first remove the outer cardboard sleeve. Then, puncture the inner pouch; this will let steam escape during heating. Next, microwave on high for 3 minutes or until hot. Once hot, (carefully) open the bag and put the contents into the included plastic serving dish.

To cook on the stovetop, heat water to a soft boil. Then, place the bag in the water for 15 minutes. Using tongs, remove the package from the pot. Next, let the bag rest for 2 minutes before opening.

Our Thoughts:

When we first reviewed this in 2022, we heated it in the microwave. It turned out fine.

These days, we don’t like microwaving plastic or boiling plastic bags, so when we updated this review in 2026, we opted to pour the contents of the package into a hot skillet and heat it on the stovetop. It was ready in less than 10 minutes.

Our family liked the fajitas. The chicken was flavorful, but moderately spicy. One family member noted they were spicier than other fajitas they’ve eaten, but they weren’t too spicy. The accompanying peppers and onions are soft and complemented the meat nicely, and there is a lot of accompanying sauce. We’ve served this in various ways, including on flour tortillas with a little sour cream, and on corn tortillas with pico de gallo, sour cream, and queso fresco. Every time, they were tasty.

One negative: this isn’t a large serving. The box claims to serve about three, but if you’re using taco-sized flour tortillas, your three fajitas won’t be that stuffed. We stretched it a little farther when we used smaller corn tortillas. In terms of portion size, this meal is adequate, yes, but just barely. Really, this is better for two people, and even then you’ll want to make sure you’ve got other side dishes such as rice or chips and salsa to go along with it.

The Verdict:

Park Street Deli Chicken Fajitas are a tasty and simple way to get a fajita fix. They microwave or heat on the stove in a few minutes, and our family liked them. They don’t go as far as we’d like, but you can make three small fajitas out of the package. Just remember to pick up some tortillas.
