Holy Frijoles in Hampden

We’ve all had lots of Mexican food, especially if you grab a burrito from Salsarita’s in the Commons on your way to class multiple times a week. However, it’s nice to eat at a quality Mexican restaurant and it’s even nicer to eat at one with a great atmosphere.

Holy Frijoles has a great name and is located in one of Baltimore’s most well known parts of town, Hampden. Home of hon culture, Hampden is a mosaic of eateries and local businesses, making it a hip hangout, especially for college-aged students. Holy Frijoles is right in the center of it all and offers a wide array of options for all food lovers. The disclaimer at the bottom of their menu reads “ALL OF OUR FOOD IS VEGETARIAN UNLESS IT HAS MEAT IN IT!” So, order your favorites without cheese or meat for some delicious entrees.

Appetizers range from nachos to taquitos and there are a few types of salads on the menu with added Mexican flare. I’ve heard great things about the fish tacos and potato burritos which have potatoes, melted cheese, chopped onions, and homemade picante.

I chose a vegan enchilada, which was just the right amount of spicy and had tons of delicious beans and corn topped with enchilada sauce. The chimichangas are also a crowd pleaser, enormous in size and fried to perfection.

For the 21+ crowd, Frijoles has a friendly bar and offers a creative selection of drinks that’s worth checking out.
