Ok... maybe not the world, but at least in the Great Salt Lake City area. Feel free to leave a comment to disagree, but alas, you are wrong. I have a fixation with ordering fajitas everywhere I go (I have now had them on 3 continents) and am constantly updating my list.
3. Guadalahonkys (Draper): Seriously, not as bad as you might imagine. I don't make it a habit of eating there very often, but all the times I have gone its been a pleasant experience. The best part may be the giant cups for the soft drinks and the free chips and salsa. The fajitas are good, not great. If I were giving out stars like I was a food critic, this would get a M.
2. Baja Cantina (Park City): Great place for Mexican food. A little more expensive than the other two options, but worth it. Take someone there on their birthday (make sure it's not your's) and they make them put on a big sombrero. Sucker. Anyways... Fajitas are quite good, big plate of good ingredients but never enough tortillas (that cost extra, whats the deal?) That fact alone makes sure this will never be #1. Try the chimichangas too, they are pretty amazing.
1. Chilis (Everywhere): Seriously. Chili's knows how to make one sweet plate of fajitas IF you get the Mushroom Jack version. I like to start off the meal with some Southwest Eggrolls (you have to try them) and work my way to this platter of good eats. Make sure the salsa comes with it, they usually forget it (its on the menu if they look confused.) If you are a high-roller you can get it "Cadillac style" for an extra .99 (or $1.38 worth of metal if you pay with pennies) that has pretty nasty rice but great black beans.
Honorable mention:
Applebee's regular fajitas have a great seasoning on them, but the condiments provided and overall quality isn't the best.
Dishonorable mention:
Bajios: No good. Don't try. Save your money and get the Burrito Classico.

Either you don't get to enough restaurants or Salt Lake has zero good Fajita places. Living in Austin, I can tell you that Chili's wouldn't make a "top 50" Fajitas in Austin. Here's hoping that you haven't discovered some of the better places in Salt Lake.
I would venture to say Salt Lake City just doesn't have the best selection of really good Mexican food. I did go to Baja Cantina again recently and the quality was better, but still not something to call home about. If anyone has recommendations, let me know!
