PLANO Texas Bennigan’s Grill & Tavern, the 310-unit casual-dining division of Metromedia Restaurant Group here, will launch a promotion of various fajita items on March 26.

The Fajita Nation menu, available through June, will include fajita nachos, Southwest fajitas, a chicken fajita pita and a fajita salad.

 “This menu introduces a new flavor for Bennigan’s,” said Clay Dover, executive vice president and chief concept officer for Metromedia Restaurant Group. “We’re embracing the spicy taste of the Southwest and putting our grilled chicken, shrimp and steak front and center.”

The menu also features a new dessert, Bananas Foster Xango. Tony Davidson, Bennigan’s culinary manager, described it as “banana cheesecake served in a pastry with classic bananas foster sauce, vanilla ice cream, sliced bananas and caramel.”
