"Ole Frijole is my favorite restaurant of all time.
My family are regulars at this establishment, we come, bare minimum, once a week. the staff all recognize us so our service may be a little biased; a bit more luxe than the average client may receive.
The food is delightful, freshly made Mexican-American dishes that put comparable restaurants, like El Nopal, to shame. I truly believe there is not a single subpar item on this menu.
the owner Miguel handcrafts every dish with love and passion; he comes out and greets his customers with a warm smile and a welcoming attitude. it's clear being a chef is his dream job, and he's living it every day. everything on this menu is incredibly fairly priced for the quality of food you receive, putting any "value menu" from most other restaurants to shame. The most expensive item on the menu, barring double fajita orders, is only $18.99!! With the average price being around the $13.99 mark. There are several (30 if I remember correctly) different combination dinners to try; simple but irresistible, with many appetizers and desserts for you to try. if you're looking for spicy, you can order any dish "Mexican spicy" to amp up the heat to your liking. They also have a vegetarian menu, even though I'm not a vegetarian, I still order from the menu from time to time. The potato enchiladas are to die for!
The staff are all bright and friendly, with real passion and charm every interaction you have. And if you come for dinner, the atmosphere is unmatched! Some nights are busier than others, so if you bring your family on a Friday night, expect to have to raise your voice a bit to talk.
Ole Frijole is a local Mexican family joint with a large, well crafted menu, in a rustic and homey dining room. I cannot recommend any restaurant more than this one."
