Smaller restaurant but the service was very attentive. The food was delicious and at a great price! Next time im going to get the chicken with the cheese and grilled toppings as well as the queso. Its the type of place theyd know you by name if you go often enough. read more

Saturday date night,walked in to the hacienda style Tex Mex and greeted with a smile. Ordered ground beef chimichanga with rice and beans, smothered in queso. Iced tea to enjoy as well. Food came reasonably quick, 5 or 6 other couples enjoying their evening here as well. Chips and salsa arrived and that homemade black bean dip is fantastic. My lady ordered shredded chicken flautas , yes I forgot to take a picture . The flavor of everything was great. Two concerns and not a deal breaker, rice was barely warm and tea was barely tea. I love this place and we will return soon. 3 of the 6 tables of couples order fajitas. Doing that next visit. Thank you and stay safe read more

My family and I have been coming here for years. You can't find better enchiladas, and you can't beat the prices! A great local spot with friendly service and great bites. read more

The food was good and out quick. I appreciated that it tasted like traditional Tex Mex and that the taco salad was in a tortilla bowl and not pretending to be healthy with ample beans and taco meat. The staff were friendly, and I like their neon sign and cute interior. read more

Yummy, yummy Tex mex at a reasonable price. Attentive service. Frequented by regulars who know the bargain they're getting. Our Thursday night dinner included $5 margaritas. read more

Best salsa and enchiladas in the DFW area! Service is always great and the prices, even better. Support this mom 'n pop shop and you won't regret it! read more

Our server was great! This place was bigger than a "hole in the wall" but certainly not chain style by any means. It was family friendly and the servings were good. Food was a 7/10 so we would try it again but get something different next time. read more

Holy Frijoles - cheese enchiladas without the sauce just more cheese on top 10/10 and the beans with chips 100/10 - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This used to be my PLACE to go. I was quite a regular. The queso is just a no. For me, queso is a "make it or break it" item on the menu. The only way I can describe the queso is powdery... it's most definitely not real cheese... it's kind of a mystery cheese powder that has been mixed with water...? No flavor and gritty... I don't want to knock this establishment too hard because I LOVE the atmosphere and LOVE the service I receive. It's ALWAYS beyond exceptional. Please please PLEASE serve a quality queso!! I miss eating at your restaurant, but that's a dealbreaker. read more

I would go 2.5 stars. The wife is adamant that it is a 2. I said a 3. So I split the difference. Positives: -the salsa is very flavorful and I liked it -the beef in the beef nachos is very well seasoned and delicious -the house frozen margaritas are very good, not at all a chemical taste -the beef taco was also very tasty and well-seasoned -the ambience is warm and friendly -service was good, no complaints Negatives: -the place needs a thorough cleaning, starting with the front door and going from there -the booster seat for the child was filthy. The wife wiped it down and the residue was pure black -the wife's flautas were soggy and greasy; the chicken was not seasoned and had no flavor -my chicken in the chicken enchilada had no flavor. Probably the same as in flats -the guacamole with the beef nachos was obviously old and had big black spots. It was a serving of guac that never should have come out of the kitchen. The fact that it was served reflects either indifference or unprofessionalism. -the small plates I asked for were dirty and had to be wiped clean by us To top it off, I had to listen to how our favorite Tex-Mex place is so much better in every way throughout the dinner. Step by step, item by item. The wife is right, of course, but Holy Frijoles could have been better which would have made my night a bit more enjoyable. This could be a hidden gem, but it needs to step it up to get to hidden gem status. read more

OK - been going to this establishment for many, many years. watched it grow and mature. 1st, the good things - the place has been repainted on the inside (not sure when); but, it is fresh and bright. the service is attentive and quick. the food prep is quick out of the kitchen. the flavor of the dishes is consistent and fairly well seasoned. now - the not-so-good things - on our 4/20/24 visit - the salsa has lost its kick...good, but, no burn or fire...just tomatoey. big issue - the establishment took it upon itself to round up my tip to the next whole $$$ instead of what I'd entered. this seems to be a game being played in the Dallas / Addison / Richardson market where servers are playing with the final tip being charged to your account is greater than what the customer intends and writes on the ticket. i keep my copy of the receipt and i do check my accounts daily taking note of which places screw me and which don't. i've challenged some changes with my bank/credit card for refund or rejection and choose to just leave some alone and pledge to never visit them again. i know that 1 household never returning doesn't impact the operation; but, just be aware that your ticket may be changed after you go home. read more

The food is excellent. I particularly enjoy their crispy tacos and the cheese enchiladas. Service is excellent. There is very little waiting in time before your order is taken and your food is delivered. The ambience of holy Frijoles is very simple. It provides for more than satisfactory dining experience. read more

Service was fast. Cool little place. Seems to be a local favorite. Went there on a Friday night and food was delicious. Chips and salsa were very fresh. Margarita was so-so. Overall, if you haven't been here, definitely give it a try. read more

I've been coming here for a couple of years and you can tell they're slowly fixing up the place and bettering their food quality, it already was good but as someone who has been coming for a while i can definitely tell they're trying to improve even more! Food is always coming out hot and fast and have never had to send a plate back, cant wait to see what more they do to the place! read more

Having late lunch here with Wifey. I ordered Fajitas Marinadas (flank steak). My wife ordered carne asada. The corn chips are fresh and their salsa dip is good. The beef flank steak for my fajitas were sliced thin and comes with sautéed green peppers and onions. Beans, rice, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole on the side. Their fajita marinadas is delicious! Their carne asada were sliced thin grilled and comes with rice and beans. Taste great. Well decorated Tex-Mex restaurant. Courteous serving staff. Clean and separate Men and Women's bathroom. read more

Their food is not the same as 10-15 yrs ago, that is for sure. It is bland minimalist food. Bland boring food and prices up, forget it man. I called them out tonight on charging a mandatory 20% tip on parties of 6 or more and NOT DISCLOSING IT. They reissued the checks, but that is sneaky restaurant crap. For their prices you can get good "Tex-Mex" right down the street and have it be tasty. Sorry guys, restaurants have become lazy, even pre-covid, but for sure after, and I am starting to call all of them out. I am paying hard earned money to dine out, it better be good read more

I was starving and scarfed it up. I like the ambiance and the service is fast today. Salsa n beans is good . I ordered shrimp enchiladas which is hard to find a good one. One with queso and the other ranchera. I recommend you add a little black bean that came with the chips it really kicks it up a notch ! Great music. I'll be back to sample a margarita and other items. read more

Wonderful restaurant! The food comes out super fast, even on a Saturday night! Delicious enchiladas!!

Such a nice owner and a pleasant accommodating staff. Many great creative options for vegetarians! Yum Yummy!

Long time customer more than once a month but recently service a food quality have declined. We received a coupon in mail packet advertising fajitas special on Mondays in August. Last night we visited and asked about the advertised special. The server nor the manager knew anything about the special nor were they willing to accept our word regarding the offer. Despite the disappointment we stayed and ordered off the menu. The order was brought to the table with only 2 of the 3 orders correct. The server was somewhat put out that we asked him to correct it. In short, a continued decline in what was once a neighborhood gem. It is time for us to move on to a new neighborhood restaurant...one in which the servers are polite, the manager knowledgeable, and they stand behind their advertising. Goodbye to a once favorite local eatery. read more

Originally had planned to eat next door at Trucker's but walking in and seeing the food, I walked straight out and came here to Holy Frijoles. The service was great, the speed of the food was even better. I was in and out under 45 minutes. The flavor was great although we only tried the ground beef. Overall 5 stars! read more

We come here often. The service is excellent. The margaritas are superb. The guiso is top shelf. It is a relaxed, laid back neighborhood restaurant. read more

First time here, from out of town came here on recommendation. I ordered the Guiso Norteño (Northern Stew). I usually eat Tacos, Burritos, Sopes at Tex/Mex places, but wanted to try something I've never had before. Glad I did! The dish was filled with beef and jalepeños and stew was amazing. The smell was absolutely incredible when it came to my table. I knew I was in for a treat at first sight/smell. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

Holy Frijoles - Guiso Norteño - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This place is very unassuming and tucked away in a very old Strip Center Mall. In many ways it is the proverbial hole in the wall. But what sets this place apart is its food and service. After visiting here several times I have come to know that you will always be greeted warm and friendly. The wait staff has always been helpful and friendly as well. The food is always cook fresh and to order and in addition to all the traditional favorite they always have some Gourmet Chef Specialties as well. My favorite thing here though is the fajitas. read more

I had been looking forward to eating at this restaurants for a few months, waiting for a time when I would be in the area so I could try it out. I finally got tired of waiting and, having nothing better to do today, drove over 30 minutes from my place just to visit what I had hoped would be a great meal. Unfortunately, I did not get an opportunity to eat as I left shortly after I arrived. I brought in one of the restaurant's coupons from the Entertainment Coupon Book. It was for 25% off the total bill with a maximum discount of $25. As I always do when I have a coupon, I asked the waiter if there was anything on the menu that I could not use the coupon on. He took it to the manager (maybe the owner?), who tried to tell me that I had to order at least $25 in food to use the coupon. When I pointed out that the $25 on the coupon was the maximum discount and that there was no minimum ordering requirement on it, he simply said "no discount." He had zero interest in honoring a coupon that they had put out. The server was apologetic as I left, but the manager refused to look me in the eye. I made the drive for nothing. read more

I love this place! Grew up here in Richardson, now I have to drive from Arkansas lol. Great food and service, highly recommend. And plenty of room to park a big rig! read more

Excellent hole-in-the-wall Tex-Mex restaurant. Been here several times and have never been disappointed either with the quality of the food or the prompt and friendly service. It reminds me of the Tex-Mex restaurants I grew up with - the small, family-run places with ample portions and reasonable prices. read more

I love this neighborhood restaurant. The nachos are a family favorite. Great service and price.

A hidden gem... a tiny hole in the wall Tex-Mex place. LOVE their enchiladas. Tacos are decent. The queso is clearly from a can, it kind of reminds me of ballpark cheese. But when they serve it with a little side of refried black beans (frijoles... get it?) it's ok. Affordable prices and huge plates. You will not leave this place hungry. We try to go once a month, on the weekends it never seems busy. I bet this place is packed during weekday lunch hours though. Atmosphere is nothing to write home about... it's part of the atmosphere though. read more

Best Tex Mex I've had in years. I ordered the Chiller Relleno with Jalapeno sour cream and it was excellent. My friend said his carne asada was the best he had in years. Friendly waitress, quick service. read more

Went here for dinner with some friends, the place is very small but cozy. I started with their Queso $5.95 which was flavorful and creamy. They provide you with black bean dip as well which was very addicting and good. I had the San Miguel Combo $12.95 which came with a cheese taco, cheese enchilada, beef taco and a guacamole chalupa. I liked both the taco and the enchilada. The chalupa and the taco were just okay. They do need to work on their pouring water from pitchers for refills but all in all pretty good. read more

We are regulars at Holy Frijoles. We have truly enjoyed having Estenia & Jason as our waitress & waiter; they have become like family; my kiddos adore them! Our favorite menu items are the taco dinner with their fresh salsa, the San Miguel & also shrimp fajitas. The shrimp fajitas are jam packed with so many delicious veggies, very satisfying. My family and I like our food spicy; I often request fresh cut jalapeño on the side especially with HF queso is on the table. There aren't too many places that offer a true "cheese taco". They do! A childhood favorite :) read more

Some of the best food I have ever had! Eating here has made me feel like a Mexican mom has just adopted me as her son, and she knows how to cook bomb food and she said: Michael, you're so special to me, I am going to love on you with this amazing meal. Literally only the best for you my son, and this food will be so special that I expect you to marry my daughter after your finished eating! To which all I can say is yes mam. NO JOKE, I left with my Togo box feeling blown away at how good this was! It was like an explosion of flavor! Guaranteed to give you the happy dance while eating! Such a wonderful place. I feel lucky to have gotten a chance to eat here. God Bless em! ordered a green chili chicken Ranchero special. read more

Wow I thought this place was not going to be good but the atmosphere was actually great on the inside. The lady's were friendly as well as the owner. I was immediately impressed with the filtered water. They usually serve me tap water but this place served filtered water that tasted pretty good. I ordered brunch and it was pretty good. Very impressed overall with good, service, quality, and atmosphere inside. read more
