About TGI Friday

The founder of the restaurant Alan Stillman lived in a New York-based neighbourhood full of a young crowd, especially girls from the airline and fashion industry. He started the first TGI Friday restaurant in New York in the hope of meeting single women as there weren't any such public place for young men and women to meet. He invested $5000 on his own and borrowed another $5000 from his mother to buy a bar named The Good Tavern and renamed the premise to Thank God It's Friday, inspired from an expression during his time at Bucknell University.

Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

i didn't leave a scrap of my huge order including the chips, salsa and guac! (plus to go fried ice cream) i even had the street corn which i admit is a delicious if not an acquired taste...i will get it again but a second maybe more traditional version would be great. i will be back, hungry for more!
(5)Jay G.
Yum! This place seems to be Chipotle version 2.0. Everything is a little bit better :) They have some different sides like mexican street corn and some nice different beverages you don't see everywhere. I can tell the workers really aimed to please. I had a pork burrito and they didn't cheapen out. If I had a craving for a Chipotle style burrito, I would go either here or Cafe Rio. They are way better!! :D

I remember coming here few months ago and was blown away by all the amazing tacos. I don't know if I came here on their off day or they went downhill but I was disappointed by my visit today. SERVICE Meh. Its one of those people that hates their job so they turn into a robot and don't give two shits about customers. Waited 15 min at the table for our order and lady threw the bag on the table and walked off. No thanks. FOOD On my previous visit, I ordered the mini Carne Asada taco and really liked it. I believe their mini tacos comes with cilantro, meat of choice and onions. They are only $1.99 so it would be great for people who like to experiment with different add-ons and choice of meat. Carne Asada was so juicy few months ago. Now, its just a dry piece of meat. Asked for extra avocado but I barely got any which is somewhat irritating. Fish taco was another one of my favorite from last visit. It used to have so much flavor. Now, lacks flavor and shredded fish that falls apart as crumbs everywhere. No thanks. CONCLUSION Please step up your game. You guys used to have some delicious tacos..I want them back!
(3)Brian S.
Second time here, and this time I ordered the shrimp cocktail that I coveted the previous time that I saw somebody else ordered. It was REALLY good! However, I ordered the large one, and it was really too much food... the regular sized one would have been plenty. The tacos are top notch!
(4)Anais H.
Al pastor tacos, carné asada and cabeza tacos were really good. All lean meat no fat at all or chewy My only problem is that my order to go didn't have red salsa only green , no limones . The street corn needs to come with more mayonnaise and cheese and extra stuff . The bean burrito with cheese needs to have more cheese . Over all the place is clean I will only come here for tacos
(4)Priscilla Y.
NO WAY this place is worthy of a 4.5 star average. This is an overpriced Taco Bell. Tastes like it too. We got a cabeza burrito and al pastor burrito. I love real Mexican food so whenever I see lengua and/or cabeza on the menu I get excited. The cabeza had no flavor whatsoever. Super bland. The al pastor wasn't that tender and also under seasoned. The big problem for me was too many frijoles! In hindsight, ok this place is called Frijoles, and I like beans; I don't want a burrito with 75% beans! And shocker, bland! The salsas were thin and watery and not hot enough. The only redeeming factor was the tortillas. I liked the chewy texture. I should also mention it took 15 mins for us to get two burritos when there was only one other party (of 2) in the whole place. Here's the kicker. When I went to throw away my trash, I saw a dead cockroach on the ground. Whoever cleaned up that night knows this is true. Roaches freak the crap out of me and are the only bug I'm scared of, and even dead they gross me out. The only reason why seeing a roach at a restaurant didn't get a one star is we didn't get sick. Whenever there is a roach in the front of the house, you know there is a bigger problem in the back.

We've been trying to get into this place for weeks. Something about Mexican food for me is that you have to be in the mood for it, stars in the universe have to align just right ,not to mention it helps to be in the area. One thing that caught my eye is their closed in Sunday's, on their door it says we take care of you and take care our employees by giving them Sunday's off (not exact verbiage). You walk in and it has a Chiptole or Cafe Rio style type serving method. Assembly line where they take your order along the way. I ordered the quesadilla and a large shrimp cocktail, apparently the shrimp cocktails are bomb ass and the pictures from fellow yelpers looked good to! After you pay they give you a number for your table and you sit your ass down and wait. We didn't have to wait long at all, fast service! I wasn't impressed with my quesadilla, I felt they could have filled it up more (picture of inside attached), stingy with the meat! The redeeming factor was the shrimp cocktail. HOLY SHIT! this was definitely a homage to the shrimp gods as I was more than satisfied with this. Tons of shrimp, the flavor was really good to. One thing I didn't like was when they brought the food I asked for water and the server just pointed to the machine. It's like really!? After I tipped a few bucks (uncomfortable if you don't, since it's on the receipt and they stare at you). She points to get it myself. I know I know I get it, it's not fine dining but if that's the case then put a tip jar there not a tip spot on the receipt then pretty much tell me to get the drink myself. Cause then your just another fast food place. Come here for the shrimp cocktail, it's totally worth the $15, will be returning for this.
(3)Ellen F.
Ok let's start by saying I love Mexican food. I think it would be safe to call me a connoisseur of Mexican food! Cesar Q. and I were starving so thanks to some great yelp reviews and pictures we decided to stop by this place. This place is unique. You stand in line to place your order and then go take your seat. Someone brings your food out to you. So I guess this is considered "fast casual". I ordered the carnitas/pork nachos and the husband ordered a chicken quesadilla. Prices were reasonable but portions were a bit small in comparison to what we had expected. My nachos filled me up but I wasn't about to split. The hubs felt the quesadilla was way to small for the price paid. We ended up ordering the shrimp cocktail to make up for what we had already ordered. I would recommend the shrimp cocktail as it is great! The rest of the food was just so/so. What really annoys me is that while placing our order while standing in line and paying there is a tip option on the receipt. It's like going to Mc Donald's and tipping. You just don't do it. Now that it's on my receipt I feel obligated to tip. So of course I tip. My food is brought out and no drinks on the tray. I ask for water and the girl points to the ice water on the counter and tells me to do it myself. I would like my tip back thank you very much. What's the point of tipping if your not serving? Ok enough with that. The food did not leave me thinking "I need to come back" like some places do....

Frijoles & Frescas Grilled Tacos is nothing to get excited about. Yes, the beans are pretty good and my family got a kick out the staff's "How you bean?" t-shirts, but I was pretty underwhelmed with what Frijoles and Frescas had to offer. VEGETARIAN BURRITO ($6.49): When I get a burrito at a legit Mexican joint, I'm expecting a humungous burrito with the tortilla struggling to keep the contents inside. Not so at Frijoles and Frescas. I could have ate two of those suckers. Taste wise, it was a-ok. 3/5 TACO ($4.49): Pretty expensive for one taco. My mom said the taco was good but that it's not worth paying $4 for. 3/5 CHIPS & SALSA ($2.00): Paying for chips and salsa is one of my pet peeves. It should be free, dammit!! My dad said he liked Chevy's chips better and I thought the salsa was unexpectedly sweet. I prefer spicy salsa, personally. 2/5 FRIES ($6.99): My husband really liked his loaded nacho fries! 4/5 HORCHATA ($2.50): With a dead serious face: The absolute WORST horchata I've ever had the displeasure of trying. I took one sip and was disgusted. It tasted like I was drinking sand. I must have gotten the absolute bottom of the barrel or something. They brought another horchata out but I didn't want any part of it. I was kind of irked they didn't apologize or offer to refund me. 1/5 VIBE: I did like the set up of Frijoles and Frescas and the customer service was great (as far as greeting customers and saying goodbye). I'd call it an upscale taco shop. It took about 15 - 20 minutes to get our food, and they brought the chips out after the food, so there was some disorganization. A steady stream of customers kept rolling in through the door. 3/5 Worth a Return Visit? At least I got to cross Frijoles and Frescas off my list of bookmarks. I won't be coming back, however. The taqueria down the street from my house is way better! YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #90

Yelp reviews led us here. Upon walking in I wasn't impressed with the decor of the restaurant. I have no problem overlooking that because I'm (most likely) not eating the decor. I decided on the Mexican street corn and a carnitas taco for dine in. I paid at the counter and was given a number to display on my table so the order could be brought to me. After a few minutes a woman delivered my order. She forgot to bring my drink. I explained that when she dropped the food off. She said she would be right back with it. After 5 minutes of watching her take an order from a new customer that walked in, clean a counter, and walk to the back I decided to go ask at the counter instead. She seemed genuinely apologetic and I was able to start my meal. The taco was huge and tasty but nothing memorable. The grilled corn was delicious and juicy with just the right amount of heat. Based on the corn alone I will be visiting this place again.

Every time I drove by this restaurant, I'd think to myself....is this for real? It's a Mexican restaurant named Beans, with a kidney bean wearing a sombrero on its sign. I'd scoff at it and keep driving to work. So when my friends asked if I wanted to try this place for dinner the other night, I was very very skeptical. I mean, in my mind, this had to be the most Americanized Mexican restaurant ever, right? WRONG. Frijoles & Frescas is actually really really good. The food itself is freshly made, and while not the best Mexican food in town (I hate to say, I prefer the greasy Roberto's carne asada fries), it's pretty decent. They give a good portion, and the carne asada fries are fried fresh. The carne asada itse;f was a little chewy, but had good flavor overall, and the guacamole was great! However, my favorite thing here are the Aguas Frescas. Seriously, they are soooo good! And you can mix the flavors! So far, my favorite is spinach & strawberry & cucumber. I will eventually get myself to order the chia seed flavor too...maybe mixed with mango? Tip: Refills of Agua Frescas are only $1 :) Soda refills are free. Also, I've heard (and seen) that the corn here is delicious....It was so good, my friends forgot to share with me :P
(4)Carol K.
My second time here, came about nine months ago and the experience was really good, now several months later, It's still pretty good. Today my husband and I tried a few new things, a salad, a burrito and their version of ceviche. Salad was big with rice and beans, plenty of greens and salas, choice of meat, we tried the pork, tender chunks, moist and cripsy at the same time. Burrito was carne asada and also had rice and beans, generous portion and flavorable. The shrimp ceviche was a tall beer stein full of plenty of shrimp, chunks of guacamole, shreded cilantro all in spicy tomato juice. The menu offers many choices, the drinks look refreshing although we did not try some today, they're on the list for next time. The food is fresh and tasty. Good experince and we'll be back!
(4)Kimberly A.
I don't know where to begin. I had the taco salad with fish, delish! My buddies had 2 different burritos on the menu and were both very expressive on how good they were. I can't imagine everything on the menu isn't that good. Pico that comes with the chips, very tasty! Can't forget the on table salsas, both had a little heat but great flavor. With Fresca being in the name you have to try them right ... oh yes! We all shared our 3 different flavors watermelon, strawberry, and pineapple wow, wow, wow. You might as well have just stuck a straw in the fruit and drank away, sooo refreshing! Annnddd, I can't pass up a churro and I hope you don't either, personally the best I've ever had! This was my first visit and I'm already planning my next trip with other friends and family, gotta share this exciting find!
(5)Candace C.
The Skinny: while the aqua fresca and the meats are good, I'd pass on the fish, beans, rice and chips (3) service: slow for a fast casual spot with counter service , waited 25+ minutes to get any of our food and drink (2), value: it's okay but nothing I am going to rush back for (3). We stopped by this joint completely starving. Eager for some good Mexican, we were jived about this place being relatively close by. We ordered 5 different styles of street tacos($2 each) , a side of beans and rice($2), and an order of chips and salsa($2). We also got a mixed strawberry/pineapple aqua fresca ($2.50). After we ordered, it took a while for the food and even aqua fresca to come out. I believe there was a mix up with our drink which didn't arrive at our table a good 15-20 minutes after we ordered and only after we pointed out we never received our drink. Bear in mind that the restaurant was only about 1/3rd full at 1:40pm on a Friday. This is not a joint where you get in and out quickly. Finally the food arrived and we devoured it quickly. The good points? The meats, in general, are solid. The lengua had a nice texture and was flavourful. The carnitas was mildly crispy and tasty. The carne asada had a nice smoky taste but I found it be a bit watery. Al pastor was good but a bit too salty. The fish taco on the other hand was not quite what we expected. Instead of a whole piece of fish, it looked like some canned tuna sparsely mixed in with a whole lot of pico de gallo. Meh, the fishy taste and super wet texture really didn't do it for me. I would skip this and order a meat taco instead. For me, the beans and rice tasted pretty generic. The beans were lacked adequate seasoning while the rice was just okay. While their pico de gallo is pretty great, their chips were subpar. Some chips were overdone while some were not even crispy and were oddly chewy. I think I'd pass on this. The highlight of the meal was the aqua fresca. The strawberry/pineapple tasted really fresh and housemade. For $2.50, that isn't too bad. Overall, given service and the hit or miss items on the menu, this joint is just okay in my books. I don't know if I have a strong urge to return given the plethora of great options. 3 starred review.

Great tasting food and their frescas were soo good. I only order chicken tacos so I didn't try the other meats but the chicken had a great flavor.

Frijoles on Fleek How you bean? If you haven't heard, this place is YUMazing! We are beside ourselves with how refreshing and flavorful everything is. It seriously tastes like "healthy" Mexican food. Everything we taste overflows with bright flavors and is always grilled up fresh-to-order. Here's a biggie - I don't even like beans, but these frijoles are holy. Home cooked beans made with soul and love from your best friend's grandmother, yup, that's what they taste like. Not too salty, perfectly plump and moist. Nothing I've ever had before, that's for sure. In the span of 2 weeks we've eaten here 4 times already. So good! And so cheap too! A filling amount of food for 2 is always roughly $20. The chips and salsa are the first taste of how fresh they are. The chips are freshly fried up and incredibly crispy without being too sharp or hard to bite; the salsa is super refreshing with a slight natural sweetness from the perfectly ripened tomatoes they used. I also splash a few drops of their table-side salsas on my tacos from time to time; though, I prefer the salsa verde (green salsa) for its slightly spicy and welcoming tangy flavor over the simple not so spicy salsa roja (red salsa.) Also, their guacamole is super fresh and vibrant, it really steps up the taco and burrito game. I always go for the mini taco combo meal with either carne asada, al pastor - or both, if i'm feeling frisky. The meats are always grilled up perfectly charred and juicy. They are right-on with the seasoning too. The combo comes with a side of frijoles and mexi rice - man, those guys truly give them away as the real deal! You can't get beans and rice as good as this anywhere on this side of the valley. The burritos and quesadillas are no-joke delicious, they are packed perfectly with all the good stuff: juicy meat of your choice, fluffy rice, best beans of your life, sour cream, fresh guacamole, and magic. The most important thing about their burritos and the quesadillas are that they are perfectly proportioned - the right ratio of meat to rice, to beans. This is taken for granted, but it's an art form and Frijoles always gets it right. Their churros are freaking fantastic! Freshly fried, crisp, yet soft and fluffy in the middle rubbed with a boat load of cinnamon & sugar. Yeah. That's right. They do not skimp on the good stuff! /heavybreathing We also tasted their nopal salad (cactus salad) and the elote (street corn) - Maybe not my favorites, but they are not bad at all. The cactus salad comes out warm and is just like a chunky salsa, great for dipping chips. I felt that the flavor was weak though, nothing too exciting. If you never tried nopal before, I would say it kind of tastes like okra without the syrupy liquid, fairly mild. The street corn is also too mild in flavor for my liking, but the corn is charred up perfectly, naturally sweet and plump. And don't even think about leaving without trying their fresh agua frescas - especially their horchata - my absolute favorite! Slightly sweet and not too watered down either. If you can't decide, you can mix 2 flavors and get a gorgeous marbled effect in your drink. I love it! PRO TIP: if you are thrill-seekers like we are, make sure to request some grilled serrano chilies and onions when you place your order - Crazy spicy! Super flavorful! Makes the meal 10x better!

This is a great little spot to grab a quick meal for takeout or to dine in. You order at the counter and they have a variety of different menu items a la carte or in meals. I ordered the two mini taco plate with al pastor and lengua tacos. This combination also came with rice and beans as well as a drink. I ordered a Mexican corn to share as well. For two combos and a corn the total was under $20. The tacos were really good, my favorite of the two I tried was the al pastor. It was flavorful and they were generous with the meat. The rice and beans were fresh and tasty as well. The corn was grilled, a great addition to the meal. Everything we tried was great and I'll be back sample more of their menu.

Great food, reasonably priced and decent portions. So why only three starts? Simple. The service is ca-ca. Way too slow and you are completely ignored. Slow service doesn't necessarily bother me, but being ignored does. If a customers is going to sit and wait forever (25 minutes for a to go order), you need to address it. Recognize and apologize for the delay. Show a little empathy. Do something. Anything! However, the lack of attention and long wait is somewhat offset by the Keystone Cop like performance that the staff puts on. They've got a ton of people behind the counter yelling, grabbing tickets, banging into each other, etc. It's a hoot! The entertainment, though unintentional I'm sure, does help.

Was craving Mexican and Yelp led us here. I don't eat beans so how ironic I came to a place called Frijoles and ordered with "no beans". I got the chicken salad. Although it not taste bad there was no special flavors that popped out. It did come with a lot of ingredients In it so that was appreciated. I also got Ceviche which also had no special flavors to it. It was just shrimp and avocado. It was a little too sour for my tests buds. I know ceviche is made with lime but mine could use a little less lime. The street corn didn't contain enough mayo, cheese or chile (or whatever they put on it). The chips and salsa was a good start through. It had the right amount of spicy to it. The workers were all very kind and attentive. Did not have a bad experience but I wouldn't come here for another mexican meal.

Unbelievably amazing!!!i absolutely love everything about tho place. Let's start with customer service, everyone one there is so nice they let you sample the juices even suggest juices to mix. It feels good to walk in and be recognized and they already know what you are going to order. The food is fresh, cooked to order, perfect amount of seasoning and ingredients. It was so good my boyfriend and I went 4 times in a row with 2 times being in the same day ( I pride myself on knowing good food) my favorite items on the menu would have to be the carne asada quesadilla, and the shrimp salad. My first time eating a salad and not noticing that I didn't put any dressing on it ( just delicious) but the dressing they have is delicious as well. The spinach drink is my fav and sometime I mix spinach with pineapple for more sweetness. And don't worry if you show to the restaurant 10 minutes before closing you still will receive excellent customer services and fresh food unlike other places where you feel like you are an inconvenience and you get the scrappy food.... I cannot rave about this place enough !!!!
(5)Jocelyn S.
Been here several times, tried the carne Asada fries, Mexican street corn, pastor tacos and frescas. Everything I've had here has been so good! I like the food here when I'm craving Mexican food and don't want anything to heavy or greasy. I've ordered carne Asada fries at Robertos and other fast food restaurants in California which I love but I've always felt guilty and sad afterwards. The Asada fries here (or pastor or shrimp or whatever meat you would like) are good but don't make you feel all crappy after finishing them. The corn is great too! I get usually get the Agua fresca with spinach and pineapple or strawberry with my meal which is super light and refreshing. *lots of frescas to try, don't miss these!
(5)Sean D.
Found this cool Mexican place with a great menu and fresh food. Nice environment and fast service. Would come again.
(5)Danielle C.
Always come here for the AL Pastor tacos + the strawberry and horchata mixed auga fresca! My mouth is watering right now just thinking about how delicious that combo is to me lol
(5)Naomi N.
We went here for a late lunch and it was awsomee!!! We got street corn which could have used more cheese but they gave us more on the side The cashier was super nice and gave us samples of every aqua frescos We got a mixture of drinks along with a huge burrito and juicy Carne asada fries w/ fat zigzag fries and a street steak taco. We also got mexican ice cream pops and $1 refill on our drinks!!
(5)Amelina D.
Great food, great service and the best strawberry/watermelon waters. My fav is the coctel de camaron it is super yummy.
(5)Kristalina S.
The food has an authentic flavor but might make you feel like you drank the water in Mexico! I've been here 3 times and left each time feeling like Montezuma had my number.

I was VERY disappointed at this place. I was super hungry after a workout and on a low carb meal plan. It was rated at 4.5 stars and had decent reviews on Yelp. Unfortunately, my experience tonight was disheartening. I ordered a carne asada salad without the beans and rice, requesting additional lettuce as a replacement. When I got my order, it looked yummy! Then I go straight for the meat and the carne asada was bland, cold, and chewy. I realize that maybe serving the meat cold is a default here. I prefer my meat warm with my salad as I am accustomed to other Mexican places I frequent. I can be confident in saying I had better tasting carne asada around town. Another point is that there was hardly any cheese at all. Most Mexican restaurants do not hold back on their cheese. I guess on the salad, cheese is used as a small amount of garnish instead of being part of the meal? Overall, the staff and service were great. The restaurant was nice and clean. There is plenty of seating available when it gets busy. I may come around for a second visit and try their tacos for comparison to other Mexican eateries around town.

Once upon a time, I was hungry and my mom happened to be hungry too. Deciding we wanted Mexican, I opened my faithful Yelp app and searched for bookmarks. Frijoles was right around the corner, so to Bean Town we went. Back in the day, this location as a Pizza Hut. The whole place was updated. The same layout, but now without a tacky salad bar in the middle. Ample table and chairs and several booths. The dining area had soft accents of Mexican art and was incredibly clean. Frijoles is Roberto's Taco Shop crossed with a Chipotle with a casual cafe feel, with it's simple menu, which consists of Mexican styled meats, you then take the meat a spruce it up as a: mini taco, salad, nachos, taco, fries, or a platter. Drink-wise, your standard Coca-Cola products, Mexican Cokes, and Agua Fresca. I got a carne asada and an al pastor mini taco, Mexican street corn, and a strawberry-mango agua fresca; my mama ordered the salad with shrimp and an order of chips and salsa. Everything tasted fresh. The chips and salsa were chips and pico. My tacos and corn were good. Not Taco y Taco good, but definitely well above Robertos or Pepes. The shrimp salad was stellar. I had order envy after I tasted that creation. Definitely know I will be venturing that route next. Agua Fresca was also a happy surprise. Feeling fancy, I combined two flavors. Sweet, but not in the "I'm gonna get diabeetus way," but in a perfectly ripe strawberry and mango way, just FRESH. Frijoles is nice option. Nothing that knocked my socks off, nothing that I hated. Authentic, no. Tasty, yes. How can i not like anything that bears the same name as my beloved cat, Beans? Me gusta Frijoles.
(3)J J.
Mexican food perfection. This meal surprised me how exceptional it was in every way. Highly recommended, especially if you've never been here. The agua frescos were refreshing and the pleasant staff was more than happy to offer samples, including some of their personal favorites. I'll be back very soon. (=
(5)Clint B.
From the looks of it, this place occupies an old Pizza Hut. The inside however, is nicely decorated with with plenty of wood and metal (somewhat similar to Chipotle's industrial style) along with Mexican artifacts to give it a distinctly non-pizza vibe. It's a fast causal, order-at-the-counter spot with friendly service. The carnitas tacos -- filled with tender, moist, and crispy-edged chunks of meat -- were the best items I tried. The al pastor lacked the depth and heat of greater versions around town. The carne asada was solid -- quality meat that was under seasoned but still decent. There are several flavors of agua frescas available with the option of mixing them together. The strawberry mango flavor was so good it was gone before the food hit the table. 3.5 Stars

Great place great food can't wait to go back and try different foods I left there waiting to go back

I think Frijoles is Robertos fancier cousin. I do love Robertos but Frijoles has a wide assortment of fresh juices that you can mix together . I also like the fact that I can enjoy my food in a restaurant instead of sitting in a gas station. I've come here on two occasions both times I did get the Elote (Mexican corn) . It has mayo, hot spices, crumpled cheese rolled on the outside. It sounds weird but it is good! It isn't good for you though. I also had a carne asada quesadilla which is steak meat, Pico De Gallo , cheese , guacamole in a tortilla. It was flavorful! I usually only trust Robertos with my carne asada fries but Frijoles does a great job! I was worried at first because they make theirs with thick fries. Since they drain the grease from the fries really well you don't end up with big grease drenched fries. The fries are cooked to a golden brown. Then the fries are topped with meat, cheese , pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole. It's a meal within itself! If you are craving Frijoles on a Sunday you are out of luck because they are closed. You can savor the taste for Monday.
(5)Norma D.
Wanted to try this place since my hubby has a very special diet and this place seemed like the only place we can get a yummy meal. I would like to start off by saying this place is super clean! There is enough room for large or small groups. Customer service is great and there are so many delicious options. We decided to try their chicken quesadilla and chicken platter. Couldnt believe how fast we got our order. Chicken was juicy and flavorful. The quesadilla was delicious!!
(4)TJ V.
Food is ok. The meat in the tacos (carne asada, pork, and chicken) lack seasoning. They seem cooked and not made fresh to order. The same applies for the tortilla. It's not home made. The corn was ok. Nothing to scream about and say "wow". I guess if you went to Tacos El Gordo, it's hard to compare it.
(2)Robert W.
Based off a recommendation by my good friend, and my other friends desire for shrimp tacos, we decided to stop in here on Friday around 5pm for dinner. Place wasn't too crowded, but more and more kept showing up so that's a good sign. Located on the corner of Antelope and Charleston. I ordered the carne asada tostada (3.99), side of mexican corn (2.25) and side of rice and beans (2.00) while my friend had the shrimp taco (8.49 + $1 for shrimp) and the mexican salad. Carne asada again had little to no real carne asada flavor, kind of bland. Maybe I'm spoiled with good carne asada, but this wasn't it. Mexican corn was tasty but seemed overpriced. Rice and beans were just so-so. I wasn't overwhelmed by the meal. I might try a few other menu items next time, but next time might be a long ways away because I wasn't super impressed and I thought it just a bit too expensive for what you get. Chances are I'll try Triple Play next for the Philly Cheesesteak, located in the same shopping center.
(3)Rocio L.
I got the taco de asada which comes with pico de gallo, sour cream, frijoles, and guacamole. It was really good I loved that it came with two tortillas and one of them was crispy!!! I also got the strawberry horchata which was amazing!!!!
(5)Jamie P.
So I tried this place, and it was just okay. A step above Roberto's in my opinion. We ordered the carne asade fries, chips and guacamole, and the al pastor burrito to share. The inside of the burrito was wet. I am assuming it was from the beans, but I don't like wet burritos. The beans overpowered the flavor of anything else, so unfortunately I can't say whether or not the al pastor was good. Next time I would order the burrito without the beans. The fries were fine, I liked the flavor of the carne asada. The chips and guacamole were good. The guac was fresh and the chips appeared to be made in-house. The service was just okay. The workers seemed bothered when we would ask for a drink (soda) refill. I hate when the drinks are behind the counter instead of self serve. I understand the agua frescas and horchata being behind the counter, but the soda fountain?? Also there was no salsa bar. They did have 2 salsa's on the table though, a red and a green. My suggestion is to put a salsa bar and have the beans on it, since this place is called Frijoles. Also, bring the soda fountain out to the front. Maybe I would come back for the shrimp cocktail that looked really fresh, and possibly the elote. Yelp 2015 Review #15
(2)Julie W.
We came to Frijoles hoping to have found a good Mexican place to have a meal, and we found dissapointment! I found Frijoles on yelp and don't believe the hype. This place is not good. My bf had a burrito meal and I had the mini tacos meal. The burrito was dry and so were my tacos. I could've made better tasting tacos at home, they were also bland...The meat had no flavor and it was dry as well. The only good things about our meal were my horchata drink, which wasn't too sweet, it was perfect! The chips were also good and crunchy. Other than that our experience was far from great. Last thing...overly expensive. We could've paid the $20 and would've had a better meal at Los Tacos.
(2)Janice V.
This small, casual place is very clean and organized. You order at the front counter, seat yourself, and bus your table when you're done. I ordered the grilled chicken quesadilla. The tortilla was soft with slightly crispy edges. The chicken, which had a strong charbroiled taste, was mixed into avocado and sour cream, making a soft and moist filling. I quite liked it! The chips were average, but good. And the guacamole was fresh and not overly spicy. Since it's close to CSN, I'll definitely come back between classes for a quick lunch.
(4)Julia D.
Very tasty food. Keep in mind if you are vegetarian that the beans are made with pork fat. Which in my opinion are the best tasting beans ever!
(4)Marty C.
Great customer service. Great food. Carne asada tacos were right on point .. Everything was cooked perfectly. We will definitely return and will definitely recommend...

Located on Charleston, just west of Rainbow, Frijoles is a new, almost fast-casual style Mexican restaurant. As others have mentioned, it's inside an old Pizza Hut so it's a pretty good sized location. There's plenty of seating inside and although a few empty tables were dirty, they seem to keep it fairly clean. For whatever reason, they lack a salsa bar and keep the drink fountain behind the counter. I don't understand why as they have a counter type section just to the right of the front counter that would be perfect for a salsa bar, drink station or possibly even both. On the menu they offer up most of the usual stuff like burritos, tacos and tostadas, but they also have nachos, fries, street corn and even a whole line of fresh fruit drinks. The way the tacos are done is a little different though. If you want a standard street style taco, you'll want to order what they call the "Mini Taco". What they advertise as just a "Taco" is basically a fully loaded taco with your choice of meat. All the pricing is very fair and for 5 of us, the bill was just over $40. I ended up ordering 3 different tacos to try, one each of the shrimp, al pastor and carne asada. The tacos are loaded pretty good with toppings and they aren't skimpy with the meat which is always a huge plus. Tortillas were decent and I like that they give them like just a light touch on the grill. Out of the 3, my favorite was the shrimp. Each shrimp was plump and cooked very well. However, the al pastor was a little lacking in flavor and although the carne asada tasted good, it was super dry. They do have a couple sauces at the table that helped and while pretty tasty, they were way too spicy for my 5 year old. We also got a couples orders of chips and quac. Their quac was thick and fresh but the chips come in a pretty small order and were super salty. The service was ok but they definitely have some kinks to work out. I noticed a few others mention the same thing but our food came out in such weird intervals. Our food came out first, then chips, then the quac for the chips and then when we were almost done eating, the corn came. Just strange. It also seemed like the owner was working harder than anyone else. While I think it's necessary for an owner to work in their business and I appreciate it, I don't see why he's sweating and running around while employees are standing behind the counter doing nothing. All-in-all, this is a solid little joint and I think with time and minor changes, they will do really well. Nothing stood out as outstanding but it was decent and I would come back when in the area.

Hands down, my favorite spot in Vegas at the moment. Food is always so tasty and fresh and the employees are always super nice. The Mango fresca is delicious. I've taken a few of my coworkers to try it and they all end up falling in love. Keep up the amazing work!!
(5)Saul C.
All I have to say is that Frijoles is way over rated, not the worse not the best! My humble opinion is that is over price for the quality the food.
(3)Stefany V.
Healthy Mexican food- sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it? With a name like Frijoles, I was expecting canned refried beans and other quintessentially unhealthy Mexican dishes here but was pleasantly surprised! Interior of this former Pizza Hut is totally transformed with upscale seating and lighting fixtures and some Aztec decor, and piped-in music fits perfectly with the ambiance here. Wish they had to space to add in a patio! Menu is simple: tacos, burritos, nachos, and various other dishes, pick your meats, plus additional sides (ELOTE!) and drinks (AGUAS FRESCAS!) Initially came in for just a snack- got the lengua nachos, street corn, and a watermelon agua fresca. Both were delicious and fresh, and I really appreciated how the nachos were not drowned in cheese but remained relatively light with pinto beans, guac, and pico de gallo. Loved the corn! Prefer it chopped off the cob but flavors were spot on. Owner came out to introduce himself and tell us about his new place. In addition to amazing aguas, he also does juices- gave us samples of the pineapple, the strawberry, chia, and spinach. My next visit, I'm going to try to convince him to start bottling and selling his juices for home consumption- they were delicious and all-natural with no additives, and the guy is really knowledgeable about juicing and nutrition. This place isn't what you expect- in a GOOD way! EDIT: Have since returned for many aguas frescas, tacos, and quesadillas. Some of the best fresh-Mex in Vegas. Consistently high quality, good portions and prices, always stellar service.
(4)Kenn E.
Order a shrimp taco! Freshly cooked and loaded with fajita veggies and guac, it was one of the best shrimp taco I've eaten. Spinach orange juice, chips and guacamole were all great, too. Fresh and tasty. Frijoles is a hidden gem in this area... I'll come back!
(4)Roxy R.
months later after first going here still love this place anyone that comes to town its a must to take them there its like ok you're in vegas yea lets go to the strip and then frijoles! lol every single person I have taken loves it! My cousin from Canada knew about the place and asked me to take him there before I could even make the suggestion. Needless to say this is my favorite place to eat I'm so sad that I will be moving back to California! PLEASE COME TO CALIFORNIA FRIJOLES!!!
(5)Lucy L.
Been here twice has really friendly employees the food is nice the drinks are delicious
(5)Marisa S.
Decent sized portions. Shrimp cocktail was excellent! Have to say the corn on the cob was very disappointing. Multiple people had to ask the staff to wipe down dirty tables before they sat down to eat. And the service was very slow.
(2)G V.
My family and I really enjoy coming to this place. The food is always fresh and great tasting! I have not had anything bad here. Their fresh made juices are delicious and compliment the food. The staff are very friendly and make it very inviting and enjoyable. Plus I also like that the place is always clean.
(5)Christie L.
I wanted to try a new place for dinner and am glad we found this one. Here It's worth it for just the drinks alone! This place used to be a Pizza Hut, but once you step inside you forget about all of that. Inside was very clean and they offer plenty of seating. You walk up to the counter to place your order and then they give you a number to place on your table. When your food is ready it is brought out to you. Our food didn't all come at the same time which seemed odd. The girl who took the order was very nice and offered me samples of their freshly made drinks. Watermelon Agua Fresca ($2.50) - Very tasty and refreshing. I couldn't put it down! They have many other flavors just ask for a sample to see which you'd like. Mini Taco Al Pastor ($2) - This has onions cilantro, salsa and a fair amount of meat. I thought the tortilla tasted good and the taco was decent. Not as good as some of the street vendors I have been to, but decent for the price and nice flavor. They also have tacos similar to "Los Tacos' that are $4.50 each, but come with sour cream, rice, rice, beans, cheese, salsa and avocado. Rice and Beans ($2) - Sadly, they were out of rice. I said that it was ok and I'd just try the beans. They apologized and gave us an extra side of beans instead. I was hoping with a place called Frijoles, that they would have amazing beans. I just thought they were ok. They weren't bad. Just nothing wow and could have used more seasoning or something. Chips and Guacamole ($3) - I love that they use fresh avocados here! The guac tasted great, but could have used a bit more salt. The chips were very good. Cheese Quesadilla ($2.50) - Simple yet tasty from the first bite. The tortilla tasted good and it wasn't loaded with cheese, but what was there could be tasted and it was good. Simple can be very good sometimes! I'm glad we tried this place and look forward to coming back and trying more. The only downside, they have no salsa bar. They need a salsa bar!
(4)Alexander T.
Ordered the taco meal with steak, beans and rice on the side, and pink lemonade as the drink. Incredible flavor lived up to the hype! Taco came bursting with juicy steak, heaps of delicious guacamole, sour cream, and other vegetables. Rice and beans were also well done, not a poorly cooked grain of rice or bean in the whole meal. It's a very casual spot - you order your food at a counter, they hand you a little tent with a number on it, and bring the food to your table after a dozen or so minutes. Be warned: for us, portions were definitely smaller than expected at the price, and a meal will leave you hungry (unless you order something very hearty like their burrito or nacho-esque fries).
(4)Thomas M.
We were looking for a good to great Mexican place to eat. We happened to stumble upon Frijoles today for lunch great food n drinks. Especially the Mexican street corn. Just like home in Diego!! If you get a chance stop by and try. We will definitely be coming back!!
(4)Gardenia M.
Had nachos that were good, they are generous with toppings. Had a few tacos asada and fish. The fish was great!! Spicy sauces offered not spicy :( Mexican corn my son ate all off must have been good! Rice and beans a-ok! Overall good experience!
(4)Alex A.
Amazing place! We are Mexicans and we are always trying to find good Mexican food which is not usual here but this place is a must. The small tacos, the carne asada platter, the street corn and OMG the Cabeza tacos are grrrrreat. I would just recommend hand made tortillas to turn this into a place to live Congratulations guys!!
(5)Cindy D.
I believe in second chances. And I better, since it's literally in my neighborhood. I tried the shrimp salad, the cheese quesadilla. And, I also finally tried an Agua Fresca! The food was great. The shrimp salad was a great value. I needed to update my previous review- this a Mexican restaurant, with a better quality of food. You get what you pay for. And it's a good thing.
(4)Christina O.
I've found a new addiction. Los Tacos step aside. They have mini tacos, elote, and agua frescas that put Frijoles above the rest. And let's talk about those Frijoles! They get at least 5 stars. The chips, tortillas, red and green salsas are definitely something to talk about. The kind of kick that sticks to your tongue and makes your nose run, but doesn't have you running to the counter asking for leche. Did I mention they have elote? It had the perfect combination of flavors with enough juicy goodness to appreciate the charred kernels. We generally opt for the courtesy cup of water, but we're persuaded to buy an Agua fresca after numerous samples of various concoctions were offered.
(5)Mark A.
I had very high expectations for Frijoles, and I think with a few changes they could turn things around. The positives first. Very clean and well decorated Tacos had a layer of cheese that was a nice idea and tasted delicious Great Guacamole Good salsa For some reason the fountain coke was really good Very friendly staff Down sides Hard to figure out how to order, looks like a Chipolte when you walk in but you order at the opposite side where the register is. No pictures to see what the food will look like. Sneeze guard at head level makes it hard to communicate to staff. (health dept thing not the restaurants' choice I'm sure.) Very loud in dining room Chips were passable but way too salty. Possibly try less salt and a finer grain like popcorn salt since a little goes a long way. Expensive for the portion size. Carne tasted washed out like it was sitting in a pan and lost its caramelization. Maybe I should order fresh off the grill next time? Over all I have high hopes for Frijoles and think they could do very well with a few changes. Good luck guys!
(2)Lucy G.
What caught my attention from the moment I walked in was how clean the place was. The service was outstanding, since it was our first time at Frijoles we received great guidance as to what we should order. My boyfriend went with the Carne asada tacos and the street corn. He said both were delicious. We will definitely be back!!
(5)Ka Man S.
reasonable price and delicious nachos! Definitely coming back
(5)Joshy F.
Tried the Carne asada quesadilla and chicken burrito along with a pineapple juice. Place is a hidden gem in Vegas. The juices are really good and you get free refills. My friend took me here during EDC Week this year and I was really glad he did. It's like CA taco shops - family ran, good portions, prices and service.
(4)Jairo C.
Well i love the Aguas frescas and the service. I'm going back. The tortilla should be fresh make a Mano pero la asen medio doradita y queda delicious,the salsas are good no to spicy just right.
(5)Tegan M.
So good! We went for the first time tonight. Between us, we had a cheese quesadilla, veggie tacos, a mini chicken taco, a carnitas burrito, beans, chips with salsa and watermelon aqua fresca. Everything was delicious and fresh. It's like Los Tacos, but better! Also the restaurant is clean and newly refurbished. My son and husband both enjoyed it and we will be back.
(5)boris s.
Clean and fresh Mexican food. Great flavors all around. The tacos are a little more expensive but they are big and filled all the right stuff. Mexican street corn is great and all the drinks are refreshing. I would recommend the spinach one, healthy and surprisingly tasty.
(4)Laura D.
Went here today for the first time. It was really good & for sure this is going to be a new regular spot for me to go too. I ordered 3 things...Bean & Cheese Burrito, Chicken Burrito and a Chicken Quesadilla. I gave my husband the Chicken Burrito which he said was "excellent" and better than Chipolte, which he loves! I got the chicken Quesadilla without guacamole & it was delicious! I ate the whole thing. The bean & Cheese burrito is saved for later as I wanted to get two items in case I didn't like one. That was just "ok". Next time, I will definitely order the quesadilla again or maybe try the tacos. The only thing I can say which was weird was the red sauce was tasty but kinda thick & came out in big lumps... not really a "sauce". Not sure if it was a fluke or if it's always like that. ? Anyway, the restaurant seemed really clean, organized and the staff was really nice & the environment seems welcoming. I would give it 4.5 stars if you can give a half star. If the bean & cheese burrito was a little better & the sauce I would have given it a 5. I noticed lots of people ordering those fresco drinks & I will be ordering one of those next time as well. I am thrilled I found this new local spot! Go there if you haven't yet!!! I am back to edit my review. Went again tonight. The "sauce" was perfect. Have no idea why it was lumpy last week but I am leaning towards a 5 on this place. How do you give 4.5 stars? Anyway, I am going to go couple more times and solidify my star rating once and for all for this little gem. Also tonight I got a strawberry fresca drink and yes, it is pretty good. Seems a little creamy-- in a nice way. Refreshing for sure! I think it's fresh juice so healthy is always great!
(4)Jaqueline V.
I ordered a burrito... Let me start by saying it was amazing. The melted cheese and the flavorful meat was delicious. From outside it doesn't look like much but this place really impressed me. As a Mexican I am always extremely critical to Mexican establishments (can't ever compete with Mom's food) but I can say those beans and that melted cheese in the burrito really brought me home! I highly recommend this establishments. And their mango drink.... That's another yelp review by itself.
(5)Kim B.
First, I would like to say we crashed their soft opening for their family and friends. But they welcomed us in anyways. We had the chicken and carne asada tacos. They were wonderful, it was like a real street taco. Everything your looking for a soft, cheesy corn tortilla filled with beans, meat and all the yummy fixins. I will say I am a meat snob, I loved the carne asada. It was tender and had a real savory flavor...secret recipe?? It was really great. It was so yummy I am taking the kids over today, so we can be a paying customer.
(5)Bayan G.
Best place to eat....EVER!! So bomb! Their tacos, their drinks, their staff. Everything is amazing at this place :) && their funny shirts.
(5)Mike V.
Takes a lot to impress me, especially with mexican food. Great ingredients. Proper portions for the price. And the flavor is amazing. If your not coming to my kitchen! Go to frijoles. Lol
(5)R G.
The carne asada tacos were delicious and filling!! So glad we found this place!!! Can't wait to try other items in the menu. The place was clean and busy (which is a good sign!). Will definitely come back!
(4)Gabby And Griffy D.
This is the PERFECT place to go out for tacos! I could eat mini tacos until my pants become too tight. Everything here is awesome from the food to the service! Ps they have the World Cup on!.. Enjoy...
(5)Dave T.
Went in a couple of weeks ago had there salad overly priced chicken was cold it had more lettuce than anything. Honestly I don't know what the big deal is about this place I surely won't be back after I eat there I got very sick to my stomach save yourself some money and go to cafe Rio a least the meat is hot went it gets served

I have been to this restaurant about 6 times and the new restaurant on Rainbow. Love them both! I don't experiment a lot with with different orders, heck it is Mexican food; all the same ingredients; meats, beans, cheeses and tortillas, it just a matter of how you like it presented and in what proportions (although they do have the best corn on the cob if you don't mind gaining a pound after one meal). I know what I like and it has always been hot, juicy and great quality. One thing I do customize is the fresca; 90% Horchata, 10% Strawberry Juice. Sometimes they mess up on the percentages but that allows me to explore a new blend...but they always get it right on the refill :). Definitely worth a visit!!!

Went here based on the 4.5 stars on yelp. Was craving a mexican shrimp cocktail. It was bomb! Loaded with shrimp, avocados, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and the sauce was perfect! Didn't need to add a thing to it. Did I mention it is huge? My husband ordered the El pastor plate it was a little different then traditional El pastor but still yummy. The beans were amazing not the traditional pinto beans that you find every where they use Peruvian beans. We also got elote. Super sweet and seasoned perfectly. Very impressed, we will definitely be back. Keep in mind that they are closed on Sundays.

So I had the pollo asada fries, Mexican street corn, chips and guacamole and the pineapple mango agua fresca. Everything was great but my only complaint was with the fries. They were just a tad bit over cooked so they felt more hard and crunchy. My boyfriend got the carne asada burrito and I'm so sure next time I will be getting that. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
(4)Stan W.
So since there is no 1/2 stars I give this place a 5. Truly no place is 5 stars but this is close. I was In The mood for Mexican and open yelp. Love the reviews and pictures so I took the chance. It's closed on Sunday's but the reason I like. They take care of their employees. I stepped in and the place is immaculate. It's busy lot of people but the place is still clean. I did not wait long for my food and they suggested several items. I ended up getting a fully loaded burrito. I can not describe the way the burrito tasted. Let's just say. This is my new spot.
(5)Dave K.
Woohoo! As good as it gets
(5)Bethany S.
Awesome food!!!!! If you ever drive down Charleston, you have to stop by here! Very authentic and delicious:) if I wasn't moving soon I would become a regular!!
(5)Mel H.
Excellent. From the moment you walk in staff greet you with a friendly hello. You have your choice between a "mini" taco with choice of meat, onions, and cilantro or a "regular" taco with more toppings. I had the Pork Carnitas and it was fantastic. Hubby had the carne asada and it was ok, but not as good as the Pork. Overall good food, good price, and friendly service.
(5)Don L.
The positive is the taco I had was good, beyond that the size is small for a $5 taco. This place is priced out of their league, for a McDonald's style eatery it is easily $25 a person to leave here full. Vegas is filled with Mexican restaurants that have good food, reasonable prices and waiters that actually wait on you, opposed to seat yourself and clean your own table mentality. Not sure what so many others see in this place, maybe I just went on half size taco day, a bit of a disappointment.
(3)Cristina B.
The meat is all freshly grilled and the guacamole is fantastic! Haven't had anything disappointing here.
(4)Kenna M.
I ordered the chicken quesadilla and their watermelon drink I was told was good. Both were gross and the chicken was undercooked. I rather go to Taco Bell.
(1)Jack B.
Today the women taken our order was so friendly and explained everything perfect. Fresh squeezed juice . Delicious shrimp and steak taco blasting with flavor. Food quality a+. Clean a+ go now for delicious food and fresh fruit drinks !!!!!!!!
(5)Dorothy M.
I couldn't recommend Frijoles enough!! We LOVED it!! The food is fresh and sooo flavorful. The juices are yummy. Not sure which one to pick? They will let you sample them first. We had the chicken tacos which were stuffed to the brim, chicken salad, fresh guacamole and mexican corn. Everything was wonderful! The employees are all so hard working, providing great service and their attention to cleanliness was nice to see. They wear gloves when handling food and I observed them always cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. I was sorry to leave my vacation in Las Vegas, mainly because I will miss this place. This kind of food is hard to find.
(5)Ami M.
This was my 5th visit here. We love it. Everyone I bring here loves it too. The food quality is great & the prices are great too. Soooo worth it! They are very friendly and personable staff.
(5)Christopher S.
Great, fresh food! Nice atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. Worth checking out for yourself!
(5)Lauren M.
Love love love this place!! All the food is wonderful and it's cool how they'll mix agua frescas and horchatas. The staff is great except the one cashier lady is really rude but I still won't mark anything less than a five star because the food is so good! The manager ( I think) have my sister and I free samples of multiple agua frescas and chicken tacos!
(5)Geno T.
Dig the food here not fast food but really good food, everything I have tried is so amazing the carnitas burrito delicious the tacos are quality and the street corn reminds me of my trips to Mexico when I was younger.
(5)jillian p.
A much better Los Tacos! I especially loved cabeza taco, street corn, and the chia and watermelon drinks. The place is a fast food restaurant, but the decor is modern/Chipotle-esque and everything is spotless. The owner was a doll and apparently lets his staff keep their tips, unlike at Los Tacos. The only negative is that it is closed on Sundays, but I guess that is just another way they show appreciation to their staff.
(5)Frank T.
Not bad. Juices/drinks are great (no alcohol ) selection is decent with items you won't find too many other places. Street corn on the comb,
(4)Danny J.
This place does street style corn better than I've ever had! I've even had park street corn from a guy with a cart and a bike horn and this place blew it away! I stopped in for a quick bite, ordered two carne asada tacos and the corn. The steak was delicious! Much better than the chewy stuff at other places. I didn't have time to try a specialty fruit drink but the staff was friendly and patient as they let a lady sample all of them...SMH. This place has charm, they're slogan suggests they have a sense of humor (How you bean?), and they close on Sunday keeping the Sabbath day holy! Great place, I can't wait to go back with my wife and kids! Nice job Arturo Trejo!
(5)Eddie L.
Got a Groupon for this place and it did not disappoint. Carne asada taco was amazing. The other tacos were ok too. First time eating Mexican corn and it has a very interesting taste but in a good way.
(4)Kristy G.
This was worth the drive! Beans were awesome and even my picky kids ate them. Service was fast and price was reasonable. I would have liked it better if they had combo plates but everything is al a carte.
(5)Eric C.
Good little stop...stopped here before and almost forgot about this place but I checked groupon today and there it was $6.00 deal for $12.00...good for two huge tacos and a horchata....delicious
(5)Alexandra L.
I love this place. Everything here is fresh and delicious. You can really taste the difference everything from the mini tacos to the amazing salads and specially the Aguas frescas. Healthy and delicious. I eat here very often, the service is always great and with a friendly smile :)
(5)Amanda M.
Delicioso!!!! My family and I went with another family. I had a crane asada salad that I loved! The rice and beans in the salad were delightful, and the steak was flavorful! My friend had the pork salad, and she enjoyed it too. Two people in my party had crane asada tacos. One had mini tacos and the other had the regular tacos. The guy who had mini tacos said they reminded him of the tacos he had when he lived in Mexico. My husband had the regular tacos, which were far from regular. They had rice, beans, pico, and guac with the meat. The kids in our group had nachos. We also ordered chips and salsa and guac. Everything was delectable and reasonably priced. We're just visiting Vegas, but this will be our regular stop when we do. We're going again before we head home!
(5)Nathan M.
So this place is seriously rad. The chia limeade drink is amazing, that one blew me away. This is the first good Mexican place on the west side. I keep trying different stuff and so far I love the quesadilla with Al Pastor meat the most. So I brought the whole family (6 of us) and it totally worked. I felt comfortable and got the real deal food. So I also tried their Mexican street corn. That stuff was amazing. If you haven't tried it just do it- so good, blow your mind good. You have to try it, now!
(5)Jessica B.
Will definitely be going back soon. Al pastor and lengua tacos were really good. The meat was great quality. Aguas frescas are amazing especially strawberry mixed with horchata and the spinach one is so good and refreshing. They let you sample all of them. Street corn is also yummy. Next time I'll have to try the shrimp cocktail.
(5)Jerome H.
Great place for quick Mexican cravings with wide selections of Mexican Horchata flavors! Thanks for the great hospitality Greg! See you soon!
(5)Chris O.
I live 125 miles from Las Vegas, but anytime I'm in town, Frijoles is my first stop! Everything I've ever tasted there is excellent. From the basic cheese quesadilla to the carne asada taco "con todo" to the basic rice and beans side, the flavors are authentically Mexican and delicious. The fresh juices are awesome and made fresh daily. The folks working there are courteous and professional. The decor is fresh and modern. I recommend Frijoles without reservation!
(5)Michelle D.
I love this place! The staff is super friendly and the good is delicious! And the aguas frescas!?! Heaven!
(5)Dane A.
Easily One of the best Mexican places I've ever had. I especially like their fresh drinks. It's difficult to top their fresh ingredients and meets. I love their al pastor! And the service is always friendly. Can't say enough good things about this place. Worth the drive.
(5)Blake B.
The taco al pastor and the aguas frescas are off the chart! I am a true fan of this place. The food is great and service is excellent.
(5)Mike H.
Not sure what all the hype is about!? I went yesterday for the first time. It is right by my house and I always see they are busy. So I checked it out. Positive: Staff are very nice and friendly A wide variety of drinks and juices And that's about it. I paid $25 for 4 steak tacos, a piece of corn, and a coke......... The steak was bland, not impressed at all. I have had Mexican food in Mexico, Chicago, New Mexico, Texas, California, all over Vegas, etc. I do not see myself going back or recommending it. Like I said, very friendly people working there though!
(1)Judy V.
I come here often with my family so this review is long overdue. The frijoles staff is always friendly and the food never disappoints. I usually order the mini tacos, shrimp cocktail or nachos. Green and red salas are at each table and you can't leave without trying an Agua Fresca. The food is made to order and although a bit pricier than your typical Robertos or other taco shop...you get what you pay for in quality. We will continue to visit this restaurant :-)
(5)Tony C.
Best fresh Mexican in Las Vegas! I try something new every time I go and you can't go wrong with a single menu item. Whether you get nachos, tacos, or a burrito, you have to top it off with some Mexican street corn. You've wasted your Frijoles experience if you so not get the street corn.
(5)Ron F.
Love the chicken tacos. Best I've ever tasted. Very authentic Mexican food. Great selections of Mexican drinks as well. I'll be back again and again.
(5)Fabiola M.
Super delicious vegetarian, carnitas and al pastor tacos. I also recommend the Mexican street corn and the spinach agua fresca. And the staff is so friendly and attentive. Definitely check out Frijoles!
(5)Sebastiana M.
Very delicious, fresh authentic mexican food. Imagine a non greasy version of Roberto's. The Aguas frescas as are so delicious. I got the limeade with the chia seed. Honestly they all tasted amazing, the woman behind the counter gave me samples. The salsa is authentic, hot and tasty. The crane asada was perfect and the chicken was also on point. This place also has delicious frijoles...as the name would suggest.
(5)Gwen B.
Yaaaaaaas the chicken quesadilla was the best quesadilla I've ever had and I've had a lot of quesadillas in my day. Great service and delicious food okay thank you
(5)k l.
The fresh fruit frescas are delicious and they let us try every flavor. The service was quick and friendly and the frescas were very good (pineapple and chia were my favorite). The portions are good sized for the price. The food was pretty good. The primary thing holding me back from giving it 5 stars is the chicken. I get that it's cheaper to use the whole chicken, dark meat included, and the dark meat doesn't dry out as easily but I don't like the taste and fattiness of it. I'd be willing to pay extra if they had a white meat option. The nachos were different than expected, maybe not as much cheese as the Americanized nachos we are used to. If in the area, we will definitely stop in for the frescas again.
(4)Shawn B.
Very Clean, Great Menu, Great Service, Great Food
(4)Carol M.
Frijoles is one of my favorite places to eat. Service is great and friendly, the facility is clean and in order, and the food is MAGNIFICIENT. We have bee going since they opened and try to go at least once a week. Love the Carne Asada and the Shrimp Tostada. The Cactus salad and guacamole are great. Love Love Love this place.....you won't be sorry.
(5)Samantha P.
Family of 4 went there for dinner tonight. Staff was friendly and the food came out pretty quickly even though they were very busy. I had the shrimp burrito, while the rest of the family got the carne asada burrito. Mine was delicious and my family enjoyed their burritos. We also tried the carne asana nachos, which were excellent. The chips were homemade and very good. All in all a good experience and we'll be back. Only complaint I had, which is not at all the owners fault, was the family with 5 kids too many. If you're going to take your family out to dinner and bring your small children be courteous of those around you. Parents were too busy talking to each other to notice their kids running around screaming in the restaurant. So rude! If you can't control your children in a public place, stay home!!
(4)Clint H.
This is my new favorite place for Mexican food. You can tell immediately that the ingredients are fresh and of the highest quality. The recipes definitely have a more personal and traditional taste, than the cookie cutter offerings that you get from the chain stores like Chipotle and Qdoba. There's also a really casual and friendly vibe that make you feel welcomed. I'm a big proponent of supporting local businesses and when you have a place like this, that obviously cares about their product and especially about their clients, it's really easy to do. This is my Friday night spot.
(5)Emily L.
Food is fantastic. Especially for the price. The agua frescas are amazing. I have been twice. The first time I had a taco with the pork. Delicious. The second time I went, I had a salad with the carne asada. Delicious. The Mexican street corn was fantastic. I have a feeling no matter what I try there, I am going to like it. The staff is also very friendly.
(5)Marcos C.
This place is the best place to get mexican food in las vegas. I even compare this to ones in san diego. Love the staff, love the agua frescas, always fresh tasting food, and obviously their pinto beans is as authentic as it gets. Only thing I will miss from Las Vegas...I will miss you!
(5)Sarah M.
Soooo delicious! I love all of their food I have ever ordered and don't mind driving 10 minutes on my lunch break to get there. I crave it. So much better than other Mexican fast food places.
(5)Aaron L.
Really, really tasty new taco shop. Delicious carne asada, carnitas and al pastor! I will be back again, and again, and again... If you're considering eating here, do yourself a favor and just go and get some delicious food.
(5)Barry S.
This location used to be a pizza hut. It was lunch time. I have seen the place prepping for opening for awhile now and as I drove by I saw they were open. A new place, gives me a chance to Yelp, turned around and went back to try it. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, the have red and green sauces at the tables, they were both good.They have a fairly good selection to choose from and a good selection of the Mexican style drinks horchatca, fresa (strawberry), pina (pineapple), mango etc.. They were giving out samples of the drinks. I had a carne asada burrito, it's just a burrito, no sides, $6.95 plus $1.50 for cup of soda. It was similar to the carne asada burrito at Roberto's taste wise. The burrito at Roberto's is $7.35, but it comes with sides of rice and beans, it includes a drink (lunch special). The carne asada was too grizzly, several pieces too tough to chew through. When I hit the first piece I spit it into a napkin and continued eating, did the same with the second piece. When I hit the third piece, I was done. I saw them bring out the meat, so they chop it there, perhaps they could cut the large pieces of grizzle out, before chopping it up. Eating shouldn't be a physical challenge. It's a shame since the flavor was good, as I said, the taste reminds me a lot of Roberto's, If I was rating just on the burrito I had, it would be one star. I gave the extra star because the staff was great and helpful, more help than I needed, I know enough Spanish to understand the menu and the different drinks. But, more help is better than too little. They have a variety of meats to choose from, so the other meats may be fine, I can't say. You may want to give them a try. I was really hoping it would be good, because it is convenient and not in with a group of food places, where the parking gets chaotic at lunch time. Since I like carne asada and will eat somewhere else and have carne asada, rather than order something else so I can eat here, I can't see me coming back. They are new, only open for a couple of weeks, hopefully they will work out the bugs.
(2)Mandy M.
I stopped here yesterday got the pineapple fresca, carne asada mini taco and a carne asada burrito. The good was fresh, delicious and I loved the mini taco. Tonight's? Nachos and watermelon fresca
(4)Mark C.
This place is ok.. Only been here a few times.. The chicken burrito tasted burn.. Tasted mainly the beans.. Always busy.. I guess that's good for the business.. Last time I was here my order took 20 min before it was delivered to me.. And there wasn't many people at that time.. Will see next time if I come back again
(3)Greg H.
It wasn't great, it wasn't terrible. It was entirely forgettable. I'd rather drive the extra 2 minutes around the corner to get to Serrano's.
(2)Robert H.
Great little Mexican food place! You have to try the shrimp cocktail, filed with shrimp and avocados! You won't be disappointed.
(5)Mariah C.
Simple menu with amazing food. Saw someone with the corn and regret not trying that, definitely coming back for it. I had grilled chicken fries and carnitas nachos. Generous portions and more than reasonable prices.
(5)Nathan H.
After reading reviews on frijoles, I was prepared to be let down, but I was not. The food was delicious and unique for a Mexican grill. I ordered for my family of six two plates of nachos, three full size tacos, a tostada, a dinner size salad, and some street corn. I chose a variety of meats offered including pollo, carnitas, carne asada and lengua. Everything was delicious, but to me the carnitas and the carne asada stood out as being the best. My kids are young but they ate and ate until they were stuffed full. Often it is a challenge to get them to eat, but they loved the food here as did the grownups. I really liked how they were liberal with the guac, cheeses, and pico de gallo. All of it was fresh and awesome. I really should have only had two tacos, but I ate three and sampled everything else I had ordered, but the food being great it was totally worth it being stuffed to the point of discomfort. I had to go on a long and vigorous walk afterward just to not feel like it was a post thanksgiving food coma coming on. The 16 oz. bottle of Mexican coke helped to fuel my journey. The staff let our kids sample the juices, and they raved how good it was. Well done, frijoles! Two minor improvements could be made. Ok, first it would have been great to have all of our food come out at once, but they did serve it to us literally hot off the grill, so maybe just do the whole order all at once instead of jumping from order to order. Second, it was bit pricey to make it a replacement for a weeknight dinner on a regular basis. We may have over-ordered, bit it was still about $20 more than dinner at Cafe Rio. That being said, it was delicious and I left really happy :-)
(5)Jean A.
Four tacos is too many! Nice avocado on each taco. I prefer the shrimp taco to the taco al pastor but both are good. For a fast food outlet the atmosphere is pleasant. Agua fresca drinks are refreshing - try the mango and cucumber flavors.
(5)D B.
My first time at Frijoles, I ordered three mini tacos so that I could sample the carne asada, pollo and al pastor. Of the three, the al pastor was divine with onion, cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime. I went back and ordered the al pastor burrito style and was a bit disappointed that the accoutrements kinda took away from the flavor of al pastor. Love the different types of fruit drinks. The staff is super friendly and will let you sample anything. The place seems to have a tremendous following.
(4)Jay D.
I've eaten here several times. The first thing you'll notice is the place is immaculate and the service is very friendly. I've read through some of the reviews, and some people are just too unhappy with their lives in general, so they nitpick every aspect of their food. Look, If the corn came out 3 minutes after the taco, I'm ok with that. It's a fast food restaurant. It's not a upscale steakhouse on the strip. The bottom line is the food is very good and well worth the price. I'd come back and you should try it, it's that good.
(5)Brooke M.
D E L I C I O U S!! The Mexican corn is so so good. Everyone that works there is friendly. And it's VERY clean. Highly recommended if you are looking for some yummy Mexican food!!!
(5)Pierre B.
Fresh mexican food, u can taste the char on the marinated meats (ive tried pork al pastor and chicken) which was terrific. The selection of juices like watermelon and spinach are a nice cool off for the summer heat. My sister-in-law and her kids who are from out of town came here 3 times in a week!
(5)Isaiah C.
Finally, someone gets it. This place has not disappointed me, and I grew up in mexican food mecca (San Diego) and lived in LA so I know what I'm talking about. Burritos: Three weeks ago I ordered a carne asada burrito. Excellent quality meat, a great marinade and a good sized burrito for about one dollar more than the cheap hole in the walls charge. The ingredients set it above and beyond all other places I've tried, which is about 12-13 other places (I was searching for my go-to place). Two weeks ago I had a carnitas burrito, double meat. Excellent and didn't skimp on the extra meat. The carnitas were still the best I'd had in town, but not ever. The carne asada was on par with the best carne asada i've ever had, though. Came in today and got a double meat carne asada burrito. Again, perfect, large. Inspired me to finally write this review. Salsa: The red salsa is not spicy, but has a lot of flavor. If I recall my first time here, there are actually two reds and one green. The green was alright, but I am biased because verde has never been my thing. One red was darker than the other I believe. None were spicy. That would be my only criticism of this place. There should be a hot hot red option. Customer service: Excellent. I have placed orders via phone twice. Once I called, and nobody picked up, so that was a bummer. But, they promptly picked up this time. When inside, the owner was genuinely nice and excited about his product. He remembered me three weeks later. It really doesn't feel like a Mexican food place because everyone is nice, attentive and everything is spotless. A restaurant has to be either incredibly good or incredibly bad for me to leave a review, even though I yelp every restaurant I go to. This earned a review. Check this place out.
(5)Mia C.
So delicious.! Absolutely loved the carne asada burrito. The steak so fresh and the guacamole was also very fresh. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for good Mexican at a good price. :)
(4)Vance J.
Best Mexican Food in Town! My family and I frequent this gem of a restaurant and have yet to be let down. Street tacos, burritos, nachos, salads and aguas frescas are AMAZING and I've tried them all!! The food is super fresh and very reasonably priced. Gracias Frijoles!! See you tomorrow....
(5)Nancy G.
Good Food, good prices, walking distance from work what more can one ask for? Maybe delivery service lol
(5)Valentin D.
Drinks are awesome. Food is awesome. Nice ambiance. Decor is awesome. This place is awesome.
(5)Allison B.
Best Carne Asada tacos Ive ever had! This place was all around great, the food, the workers, the location. I went in to eat 3 times the first week they opened, and still cant get enough. I highly suggest Frijoles for your mexican food cravings!
(5)Doug S.
Fresh! The menu includes authentic Mexican street food but in a nice restaurant. We tried some tacos and burritos. The al pastor pork was fantastic. I like cilantro and they put cilantro in their burritos. Excellent! You can't go wrong with the agua fresca drinks. Horchata-pineapple and horchata-strawberry were great combinations. The guacamole and chips were good and the guacamole was fresh. The owner was working when we came and the service was great. A very personable and outgoing guy. Try this place out, there are a lot of choices to keep you coming back.
(5)Casey J.
Spinach agua fresca, carne Asada, el pastor, and the BEANS! All amazing. Even better- the staff is always so nice :)
(5)N D.
Everything we ordered was excellent. Don't miss their Shrimp cocktail. Staff is friendly . The best mexican food in Las Vegas !
(5)Karina R.
Wow! We are always looking for good service and quality food and frijoles definitely has it. food was great! My new favorite!
(5)Cassie R.
Just ate lunch here today and my husband and I were really blown away! I got a carne Asada taco and a carne Asada mini taco and the husband got two al pastor tacos. Just FYI the "mini tacos" are not mini, they're standard size street tacos and the "tacos" are huge and loaded with all the fixin's; whole seasoned pinto beans, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, etc. So good!!! I tried my husbands al pastor meat and it was addictively good! Sweet and rich in flavor. We also ordered aqua frescos (I think that's what they're called, the fruit juice drinks) and I've never had anything more refreshing! The manager Greg let me get two flavors so I had pineapple and mango! Amaaaaaazing!! Everyone was very friendly too. The manager even walked to our table and took the time to talk with us and was so kind and welcoming. Very incredible service, has a very family feel to it. Definitely plan to come back whenever I'm in Vegas and try their nachos, fries and maybe a burrito too and recommend you try this place.
(5)Staci L.
Delicious! I love authentic Mexican food! Great food and great prices! Owner was there and greeting patrons and was very friendly! I will definitely be back and with my kids!
(5)Tom J.
Got the burrito with Al pastor pork. Very flavorful. Reasonably priced. Very friendly. Will definitely be back.
(5)Sharon M.
For starters, the chia water was so refreshing. Plus they had several other delicious waters as well. I had the carnitas tostada, cheese quesidilla, mexican corn and chips and salsa. Loved it all. Authentic and full of flavor. I wish it was tomorrow already so I could go back...
(5)Marc F.
I was so happy when this place opened up a few months ago. Been wanting an authentic Mexican taco shop on my side of town and it did not disappoint at all! Absolutely love it!
(5)Corbin M.
The Mexican street corn is LE-GIT!! So is the Jugo de Espinaca. It looks weird, but taste like magic.
(5)Tammy G.
Love this place! Their chicken and al pastor tacos are delish! Their special green sauce gives everything a great kick. Their pineapple juice is yummy too. The staff is great!
(5)Steve J.
First time eating here. Burrito is awesome and the drinks are amazing. Try the spinach drink.
(5)Lynn S.
Amazing customer service and great food! The first time I went here the guy taking orders made recommendations and walked me through the items. All the employees are courteous and friendly. And the food is delicious!
(5)Ashley S.
This place is so good! I'm half mexican, but don't enjoy mexican food as much as you would think. This place has made me change my mind. The street corn is great! The portion sizes are big and I'm always satisfied when I walk out. My favorite is the shrimp plate with the rice and beans. Their juices are to die for!
(5)Mitchell D.
Frijoles brings Mexican street food to is essentials and excels at it. A simple menu prepared with care and fresh ingredients brings out the best. The meat is cooked to order and the beans have the texture that exudes freshness. Good balance of flavored. Highly recommend. Update - I ordered the frijoles and beans last night. Best beans I have ever had! Sublime.
(4)Halston G.
Really really delicious. $2 mini tacos so you can try all the meats. Very fresh tasting and clean environment. The carne asada French fries could use more meat, but it was still very delicious ! Which surprised me! (Huge meat eater) Great prices for great food.
(4)Jeanette D.
I am so glad I found this place. Close to my work and also my home. So far I have tried the Carne Asada Nachos and the Carne Asada Tacos both were very delicious and very fresh. I also enjoyed their fresh juices they make. They also make a delicious chicken quesadilla. Everyone in my office is very pleased we found this place, we have started going there every Friday. It's such a treat. It's also great to show support to the family owned restaurants in Vegas. Everything at Frijoles is fresh and you can taste it. They make there beans fresh everyday along with all their juices. I will continue to go here and spread the word about them to more and more people.
(5)Jessica K.
I stopped in just before closing on a Monday night. Everything was really clean and the staff is super friendly. They let us sample several of their agua fresca flavors. All of them were delicious, and I would go back just for the pineapple one!! They only have 1 size for $2.50. The watermelon and mango were great too! Along with our 2 drinks, we ordered a carne asada quesadilla, a carnitas burrito, and Mexican street corn. Everything is made to order, and despite being the end of the night, tasted super fresh and homemade. I'm a Chipotle junkie, and I might like Frijoles better. The only thing I missed was the cilantro lime rice & the portions here are smaller. For everything we spent under $20. The only thing I didn't care for was the street corn. I, unfairly, compare all street corn to Mundo's street corn which is off the charts amazing. And, while Frijoles is probably a more traditional version, it didn't blow mind like Mundo's did. I would give this place an A overall, and I'm sure I will be a regular customer! They're worth checking out. The menu isn't huge, but what they have they do well and their prices are really affordable.

My husband and I are always on the hunt for a place to eat some street tacos, burritos, or even nachos. I've been here 4 times now and each time they are consistently friendly and delicious. We typically go to Taco y Taco as it is on our side of town, but we recently drove up to Frijoles because we know that the product is just as good, we like the small/low-key atmosphere here, and the pricing is a bit lower. We give it two thumbs up and will be recommending this place to all of our friends and visitors! Go and get their mini tacos (we prefer al pastor), nachos, and fries!!!

very fresh ingredients, great flavors, the juice drinks are amazing. the wife and I love coming here, and we go often. it's a bit pricey for what they offer, hence why I give them 4 out of 5 stars.

Wow! This is our FAVORITE place for great tasting tacos and the most unique, refreshing juice drinks. Francisco and his staff were incredibly friendly. They gave us free samples of nearly 10+ fruit drinks. We loved the Sandia one the best. Go hungry - the food and service is awesome. This place is going to become the BEST place for delicious authentic Mexican food. Can't wait to go back. Yum!

Not a good place to come if you want to stay here all day and they forget what you order . Then you're waiting . Server asked my mom if she would like some jalapeños , she said yes . Never got them . Never been here before , well never never again !

The food here is amazing. (there is no way you can compare Los Frijoles to Roberto's) It is right around the the corner from my house so my husband and I went there for the opening and we loved it! their staff is super friendly, we've often seen the owner in there serving and cleaning tables, talking to people and everything. The aguas frecas are made with real fruit, which is very hard to find. Being mexican I can tell you that if you want real tacos and aguas frescas got to frijoles. the place is always super clean which is always a plus! Note: I have a cousin who came from Mexico to visit and we've taken her out to eat tacos to many places and she said that the only place that's even close to the real mexican tacos is Los Frijoles.

Oh my damn! My new go to! I cannot wait to bring my friends and family here. My boyfriend and I went a little overboard ordering. But everyone's review said try everything and we basically did just that. For appetizers we got the medium shrimp cocktail and the carne asada nachos. Both were pretty good. The nachos beat any kind of bar nachos out of the park! I had to try the shrimp cocktail. It was good however the shrimp were whole and I guess I expected more of a ceviche. After we devoured those, I finally got my hands on the main reason I went there. Shrimp tacos. I have been on the hunt for a decent shrimp taco that is going to break the bank. And all I can say is wow! Great flavor and spices, the peppers and onions, just speechless because I'm shoving another taco in my mouth. My boyfriend got the chicken taco which is currently in the fridge because we are stuffed but I am positive it will live up to the expectations. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

This place is pretty good. I give it 3 1/2 stars... I love the freshness of their food. I absolutely love their drinks. Their frijoles really are amazing. Someone noted that it's not authentic, I think it is. Just because it's better quality food does not mean it's not authentic. I will definitely be revisiting.
(4)David Y.
AMAZE BALLS!!! Seriously, this place is amazing! Everything is made fresh and packed full of flavor! I've been going here since it opened and it's been consistently awesome!!!
(5)Jasmine J.
SO GOOODDD... My husband and I have tried the Al Pastor taco, shrimp taco, carne asada burrito,taco,and nachos, chicken burrito, the corn. .. you can't go wrong with anything here! The tacos are super filling.You can actually taste the smokiness on the meat from the grill. My favorite was definitely the al pastor. Spicy.. sweet goodness. Everything is made fresh. .The only problem I ran into today was that they gave me the wrong drink and didn't give me my corn. (I had to wait in line, go to the counter and ask). Other than that, they were great! One things for sure, I will NEVER go back to Robertos for my mexican fast food .

Drove by and saw this place at lunchtime Frijoles figured wow I beter stop and check out this place better be good with a name like this. I was gladly not disappointed, from the atmosphere to the customer service as soon as we walked in I couldn't decide between the taco or a quesadilla but since I was hungry I went for the quesadilla de pastor, and a mango agua fresca, and elote. As we are sitting at our table waiting for our food the young lady brings us 2 tacos of carne asada for free to try so yummy. And a sample of every agua fresca they had so above and beyond they have gained a loyal customer and am bringing my coworkers here to share in the food ecstasy. Highly recommend this place for fresh, good priced Mexican food.
(5)Jazzy J.
Place was welcoming and food n' drinks were spectacular! The service was decent and free samples are a plus if you've never had anything form them. The only thing i wish they'd change up is the quantity. The quality of the food is refreshing. Not really leaving you heavy, which is a plus for me. But i would definitely recommend anyone here for some fresh n easy Mexican food.
(5)Janet N.
Everything at Frijoles is off the chain. Love the carne asada and we really kove the corn. We love the chia water - so refreshing.
(5)S A.
Great food, great service, and fast. The Aguas Frescas were amazing! We paid the extra $1 to upgrade the meal. So worth it!
(4)Lucas J.
My friends and I from Utah never leave Nevada without stoping at this place to eat the food is cheap, yet the quality and service is great! Yes maybe not very authentic, but it's close and very delicious and to me that's what counts! Love this place!
(5)Davis Y.
I had the large taco and too mini tacos. They were very good and surprisingly better then most Southern California taco stands. Highly recommend for a quick taco fix, even though it a little bit out.
(5)Taylor P.
Frijoles is much more than beans! I am always on the hunt for a good taco. Vegas has 3 or 4 places that I really like, and some of the best mexican food in the US. When I heard about Frijoles, and that it was near my office, I went to try it out. The inside is clean, bright, and fresh with plenty of seating. The menu is simple, but still has a lot of selection. I went for the tacos. They came out fast, and with a smile. The food was hot and put together the way it should be. From the first bite, to the last I was impressed. I have been back 3 or 4 times since. Frijoles has found a place in my regular rotation.
(5)Anthony G.
A fine start for Frijoles I must say. Now that I'm becoming older and wiser to Yelp ways, it takes more than a fancy 4.5 star average to impress me, particularly in the first few months of a business opening. It IS enough to get me to read through the reviews though, and what struck me as appealing is that the owner seemed to be very involved in answering any/all critical reviews, and not only that, but they seemed to be adjusting on the fly to customer complaints and demands. I always like to see that level of commitment and care. I pretty much knew what I wanted when I entered, and ordering was quick, painless, and friendly. I went with a mini taco trio and something I saw in the Yelp pics: a combo Pineapple/Strawberry Agua Fresca. The drink was made instantly and it was love at first sip. I had noticed a sign that refills were only $1 (the drink itself is $2.50), and I kid you not I was considering trying to drink it all down as fast as I could to indulge in this bargain. Sadly they were done with my tacos pretty quickly and I was on my way. Definitely one of my biggest regrets of my life as later back in my office I ran out and craved more. As for the tacos, I went with two of my usuals: cabeza and pastor, and decided to go against my third usual lengua for the carne asada because it seemed like Frijoles really hypes up their carne on their facebook. I'm not sure if they're just pandering to the eaters that are terrified to venture beyond the realm of chicken and carne, but I thought it might be their specialty so to speak and gave it a shot. 1) Cabeza: It was a good version but I feel I've had better. Not really sure what could put one cow's head ahead of another (maybe seasoning of the meat?) but it didn't wow me here. It was still good enough for me to scarf down in 4 bites. I'd try it again 2) Pastor: Best I've ever had. I'm not some taco connoisseur or anything unlike those maniacs who participate in the Yelp Taco Treks, but I've had maybe 7-8 varieties of Pastor tacos around the valley and this one just hit that sweet spot with a perfect balance of the pork with pineapple. Perfect. 3) Carne Asada: I should have known better, but this didn't really do much for me. The meat was dry, though it did have a nice flavor otherwise. It's pretty much what I expect from Carne Asada at most restaurants, I was just hoping it'd be different I guess. I'll chalk that up to my error as I'm sure most Carne fans would have dug it. The red salsa was a nice version, not unlike you can find at most decent taco shops, but the green one they provided had an odd texture for me. It was goopey if that word even exists. If I turned over the container it wouldnt spill all over my desk immediately, but would slowly ooze out. That rubbed me the wrong way so I stuck with the red. So my list of demands should you choose to accept them: 1) Figure out why the cabeza didn't blow me away 2) Liquefy the green salsa 3) Free Al Pastor Tacos and Agua Frescas to Yelp Reviewers during weekdays. Next time I might get 3 Pastor tacos and that same drink so expect a potential bump to 5 stars at some point.

Fresh delicious street Mexican food. Very fresh and great depth of flavors. The al pastor pork is quite extraordinary. Second visit and we were as impressed as our first visit. The rice and beans are sublime. Very fair prices.
(5)Jenna R.
The lengua mini tacos were delicious! We loved the presentation of the shrimp cocktail. It comes in a cute little beer mug served with a side of chips and crackers. Taste wise -it was refreshing and slightly sweet. The street corn wasn't what I am used to(it was grilled), but it was still good nonetheless. The carne asada fries were a bit on the soggy side. The agua frescas were SO GOOD! My friend chose a watermelon/mango mix and I chose a strawberry/pineapple mix. Overall experience was good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I learned what agua frescas was thanks to the friendly cashier up front :) lol. The cooks were also very friendly!
(4)Michelle M.
My husband and I were there on 8/29 for the first time and we really enjoyed everything we ordered. We ordered three tongue tacos, omg all meat and super good! We also ordered the al pastor taco and the meat was on point with the flavors of al pastor. Carnitas is my fave so we had to order some, and they are the best carnitas I've had on this side of town, I was so happy they were awesome! They also have green and red salsa on every table not super spicy but very good and authentic. The street corn was good too. My only complaint is that I thought it was bit pricy for Mexican food, but everything we ordered was super good and worth the price. Oh I can't forget to mention, they have Aguas frescas I tried them all and they were all so refreshing and delish! Try the spinach agua fresca it was so good. Will be back!
(5)Bryan S.
Better than last time, but I'm not sure this place is for me. My palate seems to be in contention with their flavor profiles. The carne being grilled on my way out looked and smelled much better than the carne I got on my tacos. Maybe a cooked to order option could be a good one. The place did get a little busy and I'm glad to see it. I wish these guys lots of success.
(3)Lorraine D.
We were visiting from NY. What a delicious find!! Everything was fresh, delicious and inexpensive. Nachos were sooooo good! Delicious fresh fruit drinks too! Friendly staff as well!!
(5)Leslie G.
This place is like a fancier version of Roberto's. I ordered the carne asada fries, and at first they looked small, but I was definitely full after I ate them. The service was great, especially for the type of place that it is. They forgot to put the avocado that I asked for, and the lady was not at all bothered when I asked her about it, she was actually quite nice about it, which I appreciated. I hate when employees make it seem like it's your fault if they forget something. Overall, it's a great place to drop in for lunch.
(4)Krys F.
mannnnnnnnnn this place is soooo good!!!!!! Roasted corn!! Tacos so bomb!! Aqua Fresca, you can get a sample before you choose what juice blend you want!! The guac is super chunky, and the prices are great
(5)Joel V.
Very disappointing, they have all the elements needed for a legit mexican/american restaurant, but their execution was off in a big way. Visited Frijoles today with my wife, I ordered 2 chicken tacos with everything but sour cream, chip and guacamole, street corn w/ no mayo, only cheese butter and chilli powder, and an order of rice and beans and a coke. My wife ordered a tostada with no meat, only lettuce, avocado, pico and beans, street corn with only butter and lemon and a sprite. $28.00 We sat down, 10 minutes later they served my tacos, 5 minutes after that we get served our drinks, 5 minutes later we get our chips and guacamole, my wife's tostada and our corn. Then 5 minutes later we realize I never got my rice and beans, so I walked to the counter and reminded them and got that a few minutes afterwards. My chicken tacos were very good and very fresh tasting. Both of our corns were flavorless and mine wasn't served with chilli powder. My wife's meatless tostada was served covered in meat and had no pico, she sent it back and got it with no meat, but still no pico. I had to go to the counter again to get a side of pico for her. The tostada was soggy and she barely ate it. The chips and guacamole were good, my rice and beans were great and my coke was amazing. She liked her sprite, she prefers 7-up. I would go back, my wife is questionable on going back. I will admit, the staff is nice and pleasant, but are managed very poorly. They received a star for serving coke products, so read this as a 1 star review.
(2)Colleen K.
I love this place for their mini tacos. They're just like the street tacos you can find on the border. The carne asada fries are the best I've had. They use freshly fried crinkle cut fries and you can change the meats if you want. The last order of fries I got were half pollo and half al pastor. The selection of agua fresca includes freshly made horchata, watermelon, mango, and others. Very good stuff.
(4)Jean P.
Patricia greeted me was rude and it seemed since I didn't leave a tip I am still waiting for my food. Over 5 minutes and there is no one here. I'm glad I didn't leave a tip

I am updating my review a little to make notes of a few improvements, my original review remains below. I already loved this place, and it remains a new family favorite, and it seems to be spreading around my extended family like a virus, as we bring more family back each time. First, this place is worth the trip just for the delicious drinks that they serve. My wife loves the "Chia water" and I can't get enough of the pineapple drink. We find ourselves wanting to go back frequently just for the drinks. Second, here are the improvements they have made since the last time we ate there: the food now comes out much more quickly, and you no longer need to get up multiple times to get food for your table, because they now give you numbers to place on your table, and then bring the food out to the table. this is a small thing, but really made the visit this time so much better. Thanks to the management for implementing the small changes suggested by the Yelp community. Other than that, our food was again, delicious. My original full review is below. Lately I have been trying hard to get my kids out and try new places, sometimes that goes over well, other times it doesn't. Tonight, it went over very well. Don't get me wrong, there is much that others might criticize about the place, but I think that most of that could actually be some of the place's unique strengths. I found Frijoles to be refreshingly unappologetic. 1. The location: Opening a new place in Vegas can be a gamble, especially a place away from the strip and tourism. In this case, that is a good thing. This place isn't for the tourists (although they are missing out if they don't seek out the unique in Vegas), it is for the natives. 2. The menu: There are some unique options on the menu, such as tongue and "cabeza." The meat options on the menu also are in Spanish only, and the cashier had to translate them for my kids. Again, this did not bother me at all, because for us it added to the experience. Tongue is not something that my kids are used to seeing on menus and their disgusted reaction was exactly as I expected it to be, but I like that the place caters to a specific crowd and isn't out to please everyone. 3. The setup: This is an easy one to pick apart, as the line and ordering are different than most are used to (and by most, I mean the Qdoba/Chipotle/Cafe Rio lovers). This is one thing that I would not say is a strength, but it is not necessarily a hindrance either. It is a bit awkward to walk in past the food and not really be able to see the menu until you are up to order, but that is only an issue the first time, after that, you pretty much know the menu for any repeat visits. 4. Fast food?: This is the one critique that I will make on which I would like to see some improvement. The food did come out to us piecemeal and it did take some time. One child's nachos came first, followed by another's fries, then the last three dishes came out all at once. for the first 2 dishes, my number was called and I had to get up to get them, the last 3 were brought out to us. I am totally fine with the food coming out at different times, or getting up to get my food, but not both at the same time. If the food is going to be ready seperately, then it should be brought out to the table. During a busier time having to get up to get out food would have meant having to break through the ordering line due to the setup, so my one big suggestion to the management would be to have the food brought out to the guests. 5. Finally, the food: My whole family thought that the food tasted really good. Between the 5 of us, we had a good variety of the items on the menu, and everyone sampled each dish. I had the carnitas burrito which was good, but after sampling the kids chicken dishes, I wished that I would have gone the chicken route instead. They also have an awesome variety of drinks in addition to the usual fountain drinks. Unfortunately they did not have the pineapple drink tonight, but my wife got the chia seed water, which was really good. overall, probably not perfect by many standards, but we really enjoyed the food and my kids have a new favorite place for nachos. It is locally owned and offers an authentic taco shop experience.
(5)Maria S.
Their food has good seasoning and the meat does not feel dry. I love the drinks they have. I would recommend this place if your looking for a quick bite that has flavor.
(5)Thereza L.
My to go place for fast Mexican food. The staff is friendly, plenty of parking space and the food is delicious. Try the shrimp burrito or taco and some agua fresca.
(5)Julit M.
I've been here many times and never been disappointed. $1.99 Mini tacos are my favorite. Spinach and pineapple agua fresca is delicios. I've tried all the meats on the menu they're all on point, but my favorite is al pastor. I work in mexican restaurant my self so I know when the food is made from scratch. This is as good as it gets from this concept. The staff is always nice, friendly and efficient. This is definitely one of my spots when it comes to simple and delicios mexican food.
(5)Andrea F.
This restaurant is located at an old pizza hut restaurant. They have remodeled it and make it a bit more modern. However, they still left some of the red booths which are not the comfiest things. Either way, I could not stop comparing this place with Cafe Rio. I felt like they were trying to copy some of their dishes. For example the salad was delivered the same way as Cafe Rio. The food was good and perhaps a bit more typical. But I felt like the ingredients were lower in quality. For their "Carne Asada/Steak" they use flank steak which is one of the cheapest options. The dressing was good but you can tell they have watered it down. So for two dollars more you can get a huge salad at their competitors with a much higher quality. Overall, the food was good, and if i'm around I would like to come back and try their el pastor meat.
(3)Sarah S.
This is one of me and my boyfriends favorite places. They have delicious food and although you order at the counter they are kind enough to walk it to your table which I really appreciate! Their quasadillas are so filling and delicious! I always get a chicken quasadillas, a cucumber water, and a mexican street corn. My boyfriend always gets something with lengua(sp?). Try the shrimp cocktail! It's worth the price it's amazing we always get it on celebration days. Lol. I really appreciate the staff here. The manager Francisco is amazing. Always so accommodating and if by chance anything is not 100% with our meal he is always happy to help us & fix it! I also love that they is closed on Sundays to take care of their staff. So cool!! Will be back. Duh
(5)Rob L.
HEY! This place is pretty DAMN good!! Very pleasantly surprised! I'm gonna go back and do some more in depth research and do a proper review! In the meantime, try the elote aka Mexican style corn on the cob!!
(4)kristen p.
Waited 1/2 hr for two sides of the Mexican street corn. Eventually I asked why it was taking so long since people who ordered after us with full entrees had already ate and left. They laughed at me very rudely as if I was being ridiculous or something. The receipt said it had been half an hour. We finally get our corn and two bites later we were throwing it away in the trash where it belonged. Horrible service with horrible food.
(1)Eddie R.
So I heard a slight buzz around my friends so I had to try it for myself, me and my girlfriend can on a super empty stomach. We ordered a shrimp quesadilla, a carne asada burrito, 2 carne asada tacos, chicken nachos, a side of rice and beans and finally 2 aguas frescas both watermelon and mango. The shrimp quesadilla was amazing, honestly enough for just one, but my gf and I split it, while a tad bit greasy the grilled onions were amazing. The carne asada burrito was also great anddddd comes with guac what more do I need to say? It was good down to the tortilla. The tacos were very authentic in taste and a definite safe bet. Now for the nachos, they were indeed good, however I felt like they could have been better, perhaps the other meat options may have been a better choice, however overall still good. The rice and beans, definitely authentic, they had the home made taste. The aguas frescas were also good, mango was a tad thick almost like the Costco lagers mango, and the watermelon was fantastic, both great :)
(5)Samantha W.
We came here off of a whim and so glad that we did . Fresh , homemade authentic Mexican food is what I would use to describe to place . This by far surpasses any robertos or don tor taco type taco shop . It would be a shame to even catorgize them with those taco shops . Your order with cashier thAt is aligned next to ppl making fresh food ( almost like chipotle) . The menu is basic and easy to follow. Then you sit at a table and your food is brought to you . The service was so welcoming and polite and the food was even better . I wish I lived closer to this place because I would be there all the time . Plus they have street corn ( good authentic street corn ) !!!!
(5)Natasha J.
I love this place! too bad its closed on Sundays! Everything I have tried is delicious! Burritos, Nachos (OMG), street tacos, regular tacos, salads, shrimp cocktail, the corn is AMAZING! you ask for the corn to be shaved in a bowl, which reduces messiness. My office catered it in one day and everyone loved it! its way better than chipotle food, however i don't think its as healthy. they also have a different variety of drinks/waters. The lemon chia is my favorite. Def try it!
(5)Arch W.
Good if not amazing choice if you're in the area. Used to be a pizza hut and now is a Mex place that keeps it simple with very few selections such as tacos, burritos and tostadas. I've been here twice and I enjoyed it both times although the first time they did get our order wrong and we didn't notice it until we got back home. We called and they were very nice about it and gave us a free meal when we returned. I liked the carne asada and my gf liked the regular taco and also the minis. Good value as far as portion size/price.
(4)Erin K.
Grabbed lunch here yesterday and the food was pretty bland as I doused my tacos in more sauce and salt than I should as the meat was pretty flavorless. I ordered a two taco plate, chips and guacamole along with some salsa. I also ordered a horchata and churro. I had to add salt to the salsa and the guac as well. Why?? The churro and horchata were delicious though! I enjoyed both!
(3)Cathey K.
Only giving it 4 stars for now since I have only visited once so I can't attest to the consistency of food quality/portion size/service (all of which were awesome on my first visit today) yet. Got the no meat salad and Mexican corn as well as the homemade green drink (spinach, lime, orange). Salad was a nice, large portion for only $5.75 and the veggies were really fresh. Maybe its cause I'm originally from New York and not used to people around here yet but they were super friendly and service was really great for a fast food environment. We went in not expecting to get a drink but they asked if it was our first time and offered a tasting of a few of their home made drinks which sold us once we tried the green one. As an entrepreneur myself, always gotta give kudos to good marketing! ;)
(4)Lauren W.
My husband and I randomly stopped in and we are SOO happy we did. They have only been open 1 year and they have done everything right, the service is amazing, the decor is very cool and rustic, everything was clean and the food was to die for. Nothing is greasy and they give you a lot for your buck. Every taco comes with guacamole and they don't charge extra for it like most places. They make fresh juices everyday...I believe they have strawberry, watermelon, mango, pineapple & spinach. I mixed spinach with pineapple & I will order it every time :D you have to try the Street Corn as well...it melts in your mouth and has the perfect amount of queso & Cheyenne
(5)Menva A.
Words can't describe how good the steak burrito was. I highly recommend it. The horchata is homemade and tastes amazing. The restaurant is clean as well. There is ample parking. I will be returning here whenever I'm in town.
(5)Ed E.
This our new favorite eatery for fast fare Mexican food in Las Vegas. Food is delicious and service is quick and friendly. Carne asada tacos, carnitas taco are outstanding. Highly recommend the shrimp cocktail and the ceviche tostadas.
(4)Edmonda B.
Hands down freakin awesome for fast Mexican food =) frijoles has the home-cooking taste! I would have to say; better than robertos
(5)Laura E.
Simply loved it!!! Everything was Perfect including the customer service only downfall was the tables were a little dirty but it was busy!! Great customer service awesome food!! Will be back !!
(4)Spencer M.
Just came here for my first time and it won't be the last. The woman at the register was very excited to tell me about the different options (tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc) and the different meats they prepare. She even served me at least 3 samples of different aguas frescas that they have as well. In the end I went with a regular taco with pork al pastor. Rice and beans came on the side and I also upgraded my drink to an agua fresca trifecta of a strawberry, mango, and horchata mix. Very good! I'll be back soon.
(5)Geneva L.
The first time I ate here was wonderful I ordered the Carne Asada salad it was really good, today when I ate here I was let down by the Carne Asada Quesadilla, I was on the skimpy side for meat and I took it back up to the counter because I thought they forgot the cheese that's how much cheese was on it. My husband ordered the shrimp Quesadilla and his had too much cheese go figure...lol. I think the thing that got me the most is if i am thinking there is no cheese on it most would of asked if i would like more added right? He just said yep it's in there it all the meat hiding it(which was not the case) and handed it back.The taste was good but I think it should of been toasted longer when I ate it it did not make me feel like i was eating a Quesadilla. I gave this 3 stars because the food was tasty and fresh but not satisfying my Quesadilla craving.
(3)Stephanie S.
This place is just ok... I really wanted to love this place, being Mexican, it's hard to find good food here that's up to par with my own. The employees really stand out, they're sooo nice and accommodating. I've tried a lot of items on their menu, but all with carne asada so I can give my input on that at least. Carne asada fries - crinkle fries topped with guac, sour cream, cheese, pico, and your choice of meat. What I would def do is not use crinkle fries! They are seriously the worst fry to use. Please use a normal French fry instead! Also, the sour cream they use is like a regular sour cream from what I tasted, instead I would opt for crema Mexicana, it'll definitely improve this dish x100! They are also kinda stingy with the carne asada, I'm paying 6.50$ for this plate, give me some more meat please! The guac here is fresh, but just doesn't hit the spot. There is not enough cilantro, jalapeno, or even garlic salt. It's super bland! The best carne asada fries are going to be from El Gordo. 5$ for half an order, but they come with double the fries, and do not skimp on the meat! Plain cheese quesadilla - It's pretty hard to mess up a quesadilla. LOL. Mini tacos - For 2$ you get a corn tortilla with your choice of meat. Again we did CA, and during our second visit the meat in our nachos and tacos were luke warm so it kinda ruined the meal. I know 2$ doesn't seem much, but I think for the amount of meat given they should maybe lower it to 1.50 like all the other places who sell street tacos and have piping hot meat off the grill. Also, you have to ask for limes. CA Nachos - I got these sans beans and pico. IDK why but I've never had nachos with beans. Again the meat was scarce and warm, guac was bland, but the chips were good. 6.50 for this plate also. Elote - 2$ for this deliciousity. I'm assuming it comes with butter, cheese, and powdered chile. I wanted to love this corn, but it was just ok. It needed something else. IDK if they do not use mayo, but it didn't taste like it. I also got a piece that was a little too charred and was a little cold. The décor is super cute, alas some of the tables are awkward because they are from the old Pizza Hut. They're super large so if you are sitting across from each other it's a reach. I would replace those babies. This place has a ton of potential, we have gone 2wice, but I honestly make better food at my own home for a fraction of the cost. Like I said, they have awesome lovely employees, it's just some of the food was super bland. Yay!
(3)Myra A.
The place was fast and staff friendly food not bad but the reason why I gave it 3 stars is because it's way overpriced for half the food you get a robertos with similar taste however the fresh fruit water was on point. I don't think I will be coming here again just because of the overpriced 5 bucks for one taco is too much for me.

This place was a good find. Had the marinated pork and carne asada burritos. Prices were fair and they did not go cheap on the burrito fillings in terms of loading it with rice to make it appear huge (I'm looking at you Baja Taco on Ft. Apache). Lots of meat, sour cream and avocado when I told the guy "everything". The only thing missing here would be a nice salsa bar but the burrito itself with a little salsa verde squirt did the job and was plenty flavorful. A tasty little place with a simple menu, good food and excellent service...will go back.

While the food was okay tasting, it made me sick and I can't say I'm surprised. The grease factor was off the charts, which should have been a warning sign. I didn't even finish my burrito, and I'm glad I didn't. Definitely won't be back. Not sure how this place gets great reviews and a healthy image. It's just another greasy Mexican food joint in Vegas. You want real Mexican food in America that won't make you sick, go to Tucson. For some odd reason Vegas doesn't have any worth talking about.

First time,food was pretty good but kind of expensive...4 bucks 4 a taco!!! No bueno :/

I've bean waiting for a place like this. Four hundred and fifty... pennies for a taco?! Oh but they're so worth it! She said. I had two of them, they come with plenty of meat guacamole salsa and sour cream. You can opt for the regular two dollar tacos that only come with meat and salsa if you don't want all the extras but I wouldn't skip on all that extra deliciousness, go back to the car look for extra change under the seat and upgrade your tacos to Cadillac! I also tried the shrimp cocktail, it was very good but they need to add octopus and oysters to it to make it perfect, which they promised me they will. Wow! I'm in! You can order your basic fountain drinks or go for Mexican bottled sodas. Difference between American coke and American coke from Mexico? Sugar! Here in the states they use corn syrup and in Mexico they still follow the original recipe which asks for real sugar but that's a whole different review for the coca cola company, this review is all frijoles. They also serve aguas frescas of different flavors, pineapple, melon cucumber horchata and many more. If you can't decide what kind you want they'll give you a taste to try, that's how nice they are. The elote was good, they can use a little help from the elote man on the streets but it was still good, covered with cream, cheese and chile is hard to just eat one. Not a full service restaurant, you order, you get a number, and the food is delivered to your table but the service you do get is outstanding and it comes with a smile at no extra charge. The place is clean and though they added a few mexican touches here and there does not hide the fact that this place used to be a Pizza Hut but once you try the food you realize it was always meant to be Frijoles.

Trip to Vegas checking out spots off the strip and found Frijoles. Amazeballs! Hands down the absolute best Shrimp quesadilla I have ever had. Great size shrimp, delicious and mouthwatering. No doubt it would be great in a taco or burrito. Perfect carnitas, just a little crispy and moist at the same time, great flavor. I love the variety of aguas frescas, I chose watermelon with pineapple added to it. Definitely coming back, wish one was closer! Would love to have seen a condiments bar with lime, salsas, onions/cilantro and maybe some radishes!

So based on the Yelp reviews I came in to try it out for myself. I walked into this spotless restaurant and I ordered my guilty pleasure and once a month craving of nachos, except this time I ordered them with Al Pastor. Can I tell you? These were divine. The meat was smoky, sweet, and tender. The generous amount of guacamole was made with some jalapeno in it and gave the nachos that awesome spiciness I was craving. Oh, and the guacamole? Real stuff, not that neon green stuff you get at other places. The beans tasted like homemade pinto beans, not the refried stuff that usually comes with nachos. Everything on these nachos worked together perfectly. The bottom of the nachos did get a little soft towards the end but that's why you get yourself a fork and call it a day. What made this visit amazing (other than the delicious food) was the awesome customer service they're dishing out. I was greeted by a very friendly young lady who proceeded to ask me if I was a first-timer and if I worked nearby (yes, we spoke in Spanish so I had no language barrier issues, deal), she then proceeded to offer me samples of all their aguas frescas (literally, "fresh waters"), yes, all of them. One by one I tried them all and, surprisingly settled on the spinach (try it before you judge me!!). Not only is the food a welcome change in this neighborhood, but the friendly service makes this one of the very few places that still know how to talk to a paying customer. I will definitely be returning, and taking as many people as I can with me (I'm Mexican, we travel in packs). This food and service deserves to be shared and I promise to do my part. Always in support of a small business!! Anda Frijoles (oh, by the way, that means "beans")!!
(5)Lindsay W.
Best Carnitas tacos EVER!!! Our family has been coming here since grand opening day and eat here at least twice a month.Their cheese quesadillas are amazing and the strawberry horchata is delicious! Their customer service is some of the best, they remember us each time. Very family friendly restaurant.
(5)Debra H.
One of the very best mexican restaraunts in Vegas. I love this place. Great customer service. They go above and beyond to take care of the customers needs. You have to try this little piece of heaven. 5 stars and they earn it each time we visit.
(5)Tammy W.
Solid cheap mexican place close to my work. they have great salads (surprisingly) with rice, avocado, meat, romaine, tomatos and a salsa like dressing. The burritos are okay. I had a steak burrito, the carne asada was decent but a bit to mushy for my taste. they heap guac on their tacos which is good. the el pastor is not the best i've had, but the big tacos are decent for the price. LOVE their agua frescas... all are delicious, yes even the spinach. Good place to go if you're looking for a quick fix, but obv does not compare to dirty street tacos from the streets of LA or SD.
(4)Madison C.
I am kind of disappointed by the way the salad was prepared. It doesn't look like the salad I wanted. I said everything, but I guess someone decide to put me on a diet & give me not green lettuce. The steak were the weirdest chunks & cold. I doubt I would go back.
(2)JODY S.
Almost $4.50 for a taco? No thanks... Ill make this quick and dirty. The place is clean but nothing special in terms of service, location and dining room. The food although good, was nothing better than a Los Taco or Tacos El Gordo and with Gordo being $2 this place is really bleh to me at more than double. I had the "street corn" as well and i tasted more the crap thats on the corn than the corn itself. And it was not the crips, fresh tasting corn as if it was recently prepared it was closer to mushy like it been cooked previous and then warmed and served. I really just do not see why people are making such a big deal of the place, and are being real let down by Yelp hype these days. Id say the best thing they have going for them is the Yelp hype and their presentation from the pics since thats what sold me on coming here.
(3)Marc S.
The food here is pretty good. What used to be a Pizza Hut is now a tasty taco joint. I had the cheese quesadilla and it was good. The tortilla had nice flavor. The watermelon drink here is the bomb. I liked the size of the carne asada burrito and the meat had good flavor but the meat was tough at times. The staff were friendly and inside was clean. It took some time to get the food once the order was placed however they are making it fresh so that's cool. you can call your order in for pick up too.

Came to Las Vegas for a conference. This gave me the opportunity to try Frijoles, which I heard about from the video blog "The Trejos", which is hilarious. We have some good Mexican food on the east coast, but this, this was something else. Each dish had a hint of east coast Mexican, but the rest of the favors were like nothing else we had ever tasted. The small tacos were only a few bites, but each one was bathed in a rich, red sauce. The carne asana was full of beef flavor, even in such a tiny taco. It was full of additions I couldn't even recognize, but all the favors pulled together to create a party in the mouth. I got the shrimp quesadilla for my main. It cost something like $6.50, and was so big I had to take half home. The shrimp were big, and bathed in some kind of creamy sauce that I don't have words for. It contained veggies, guacamole, cheese and I don't know what else, but I didn't care because it was delicious. To top off, Arturo, the video guy came over and chatted. He was funny, delightful, genuine and truly interested in us. I hope this restaurant takes off; Las Vegas is lucky to have it.

Great stop for tacos, chips, and salsa! We had a snack after going for a hike at Red Rock! A locals favorite!
(5)Mark R.
The quality and freshness of an authentic sit down Mexican restaurant at the price and convenience of fast food. AMAZING FOOD!! I had the pork quesadilla it was incredible! EVERYTHING is fresh and homemade including the tortilla chips and drinks. They give you sample of the drinks and amazingly my favorite was this spinach concoction. I also had the street corn which was really unique and tasty. This is hands down my new favorite place to eat.
(5)Keith J.
Great food. All the ingredients are fresh. The staff was always cutting and prepping. The server was very nice and was smiling and genuinely cared if we enjoyed our meal. I ordered a chicken salad and my wife ordered chicken quesadilla, and of Course two Mexican corns which were amazing and only 2 bucks!! I will come back without question. Oh and they have real Mexican coke which is a plus.
(5)Izzy V.
Simply stated fresh,affordable great tasting food. The shrimp tacos are new and are the bomb! Forget all other taquerias....this is the best. The fresh fruit waters are excellent ...(aguas frescas) try the healthy spinach drink very good!!! The staff is so nice and attentive ..luv this place
(5)Steve B.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. I really wanted to love it, but there are just too many better options on this side of town. I didn't try the corn. I'll have to go back for that. Chicken quesadilla, carne asada nachos, carne asada burritos that we all exchanged and tried weren't worth another trip.
(3)Marissa J.
Went in to see what all my yelpers were talking about and they were right the food was sooo tasty and fresh the best tacos in town the staff very sweet and kind let me sample all the juice they had to offer all bomb ....love the short and sweet menu only taco place for me :*)
(5)Brianna C.
The whole place is clean and comfortable. I like that you can see the food as it's being made. I ordered a carnitas burrito, it's sooo good and a great size. I'll have half now and savor the rest later. I wasn't going to get a drink but while I was waiting for my food, only about 6 minutes, the manager brought me samples of the fresh juices they have to offer. My mind was blown at these unexpected refreshing flavors! Each one is great and they are not too sweet.
(5)J F.
We're from SF, CA. After a tiresome work out @ 24hr Fitness down the road we were feeling weak & sick. Yelp brought up list of Taqueria's. Frijoles was #1 based on ratings. Just a 3 min. drive and we there. I ordered a vegetarian tostada, crispy steak taco and nachos. ALL if the dishes were good. Our drinks were perfect as well, not too sweet, sour or watered down. We'll definitely return here. It's bright and clean inside which means a lot to us. If you would prefer your food on the juicy side ask for more salsa fresca with its juice. ENJOY It!!
(4)Rodney B.
Hands down the best Mexican food on the west side of Vegas. Loved the cucumber agua fresca!!! Chicken Tacos tasted hot off the grill and were packed with flavor. Red salsa on the table was my favorite. My kids loved the cheese quesadillas and nachos. Plate was big enough for all to share. Good vibe, tasty food and a great place for families. I'll be back.
(5)Cinnamon S.
The shrimp cocktail is amazing! 12.99 medium is huge. Big enough for 3! Tacos are great. Crunchy and soft corn tortilla with melted cheese between the two. The chips are very crispy and fresh. Not too greasy. Got full off the shrimp cocktail couldn't even bite into the shrimp burrito :/ reason for 4 stars is due to the lack of clean tables. I asked the worker to clean the table for me and it was still dirty and sticky. She was very sweet THO.
(4)Christian C.
OK lets get it things straight. You don't need a whole novel to describe a mediocre taco shop. Positives: Meat is flavorful, corn on the cob is on pace to being good. (Its just corn prepared) I tasted better on a roadside in TJ and the staff really makes the place clean even during a busy lunch etc...I came twice just to make sure I didnt catch a bad day. Nope! Negatives: Its a one trick pony! Staff is not what you call "Hello!' Welcome! Why not? I cant stand the lady taking my order, there is so much to order. I mean what if I decided to try Lengua. If I try tongue, I just dont eat that anywhere. How is it prepared?! She is pushy and impatient...really? Street venders in TJ are more polite! The AGUAS FRESCAS are covered in Sugar probably to hide the quality of the "fresh fruit". Now the Taco: You dont need to but in every single ingredient in there, the meat and tortilla should do all the talking. This place has potential to be great, however looks like it is owned by an American with a passion for Mexican Cuisine and hired Mexican staff with no passion at all. If I'm going to spend 10 on burrito combo I expect at the VERY LEAST to be that experience.
(3)Alejandro G.
The tacos are to expensive $4.45 ... they used the worst corn tortilla .. u can find in any store .. Guerrero .a process .. horrible smell. I was hopping to find a better and authentic mexican street taco .. with a homemade tortilla .. for the price .. Don't used sour cream to taco .. that's Taco bell... The asada beef has a good flavor and very tender.. they have a good customer service ... employees very nice..and helpful. I hope u guys can improve your tacos..
(1)Valeria O.
This place is a great example of Mexican with American influence done right. Since no one else has seemed to talk about the lengua tacos (because most of you guys may be too scared or too fond of your carne asada fries), I decided to let all my fellow lengua lovers know that this place has AMAZING lengua tacos and the now three times that I've had them they never disappoint. It's hard to find good tacos de lengua, but thankfully I live fairly close to Frijoles so I can my lengua fix with no problem. The staff is friendly and seems to be made up of mostly Latino/a descent workers and that always gives me a sense of relief because you know they're not gonna give you a sad excuse for Mexican food like Chipotle or Roberto's. Aguas frescas are just as good as you would get at Cardenas, maybe even better because you can taste how fresh it is! The "Mexican street corn" I like, but it's not very authentic. They put their own twist on it by charring the corn and what tastes like lime juice on it? I'm not sure, but it's still pretty tasty. Just don't expect to get the kind you'd buy from the elote man on the actual street. :) Try this place guys, you won't be disappointed!
(5)Jill T.
First visit was a 4 star visit. Second visit was a totally different experience. The food is consistent and good. We happened to go when they were busy and unfortunately the service was really poor. I was left for 10 minutes without my food while the others food got cold. When we asked the food runner about it she claimed to not speak English. Because you pay and tip when you order there isn't much you can do about the service. While I like so many things about the food here I can't see myself rushing back unless I want to eat at an off the norm time.
(3)Chris H.
I've gotta hand it to this restaurant, its impossible to say their food is sub par as, it is tasty, excellent in every way but ONE MAJOR problem, which over shadows the whole experience - PRICEY!!!!! We are talking about tacos people - TACOS, we're not saving babies here, just cooking up tacos and $20 bones for 4 tacos is in NO WAY justified - PERIOD.
(2)John B.
Finally we found a great Mexican place to eat. Thanks to the many great yelp reviews, we made this hot spot one of our top places to eat. When we first arrived they hardly had any customers at about 5pm, so we were a little concern. Nevertheless we got right into the menu and ordered our food. The menu was simple but very tempting. As we sat down to wait for our food, we were offered chips and salsa. The chips were great, but the salsa was borderline. For our main dish, we ordered the carne asada taco with beans and rice. It was loaded with good stuff, like avocado, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and much more. The flavors were amazing and the beans and rice complimented the plate. We also ordered a shrimp cocktail which was loaded with shrimp and mixed very well. Then to top it off, we ordered the grilled corn on a cob. It tasted just like back home if not better. The strawberry horchata was so sweet, it tasted like a strawberry shortcake in a cup. Overall, our visit was good, great place and great food. Now one of our favorites!
(4)Cori D.
My first experience here wasn't that great, the food was ok but my friends and I didn't feel great afterwards. I decided to come back and try it again, because being from San Diego I need my mexican food fix. This time I ordered a burrito and it is just ok once again. There isn't a lot of meat in the burrito and its a little plain. On the plus side both times I've been here the place is very clean and they also bring you the food. All and all its just ok, kind of reminds me of Chipotle.
(3)Joey M.
FRIJOLES!! Let me start out by saying the second I took a bite of the food I texted several friends how great it was (with pictures included) I had to try three different mini tacos to see which I would like most, Al Pastor, Lengua, and Carnitas, each one was equally delicious. The freshness of the onions, cilantro, and salsa just added to the greatness of each meat. As a huge fan of burritos, I got the Carne Asada burrito with avocado, sour cream, pinto beans, pico, and cheese. It was packed with flavor and freshness. All the meat is grilled do don't expect the greasy norm! The staff was impeccable. The lack of a self serve salsa bar won't stop you from getting what you want from any of helpful crew here. I will be back to enjoy more from Frijoles.
(5)Jean F.
they are not too bad... they for sure know mexican food. but what im not liking is the prices on tacos! their hot sauces are amazing.... but untill i see a price change i wont be back, i rather go sit in a restaurant for just $2 more.
(4)Ana A.
I just love these guys. Marleny, the girl at register was so awesome. Super sweet. My bags were loaded for $40 and delicious too!! Love a great hole in the wall. Come see them. You will love it! The bf and I are going to get loaded on Bloody Maria's and inhale this food tonight. Mmmm Hmmm!
(5)Robbie P.
I've been here a few times and every time I come, the food is delicious and fresh. The staff is friendly and their selection of aguas frescas is amazing. The food is just as appealing to the eye as it is to the taste buds. Not much else to say other than if all you're used to is Roberto's, take a step into the light and you will be pleasently surprised.
(5)Erica B.
I first visited Frijoles a year ago. I'm an Arturo Trejo (YouTuber) fan, so I knew about the restaurant from afar. My fiancée and I made the trip to Vegas from Los Angeles and we weren't disappointed. We came back a second time that trip because we couldn't get enough of the food and friendly staff. On our most recent trip, we stopped by the new location as well as the first and it was just as we remembered. Back home, we frequently talk about how much we miss every one of their entrees, aguas frescas, and delicious sauces. Frijoles can't be beat!
(5)Anna L.
The mini shrimp and mini al pastor tacos were the best! Great place for a quick dinner.
(5)Kathy K.
Food was good. I ordered the 2 mini taco meal and street corn, but they brought my whole meal separately! Didnt even get my drink first. Customer service was so so but they were busy.
(4)Reed W.
Their food all looks and tastes very fresh. I had fish tacos and their salad and will definitely try this place again. Better than chipotle and cafe rio just a further drive.
(4)Amy L.
I love Mexican food so I had to try this place out. So glad I did! Yummy. I had the chicken taco, it was excellent. Chicken was fresh with a great grill flavor, pico de gallo was awesome and the guacamole was freshly made. So good I wished I had ordered two! My husband had the street corn and said it was phenomenal. The fruit drinks are a refreshing add-on. My daughter loved the watermelon. We'll definitely be back.
(5)Aj D.
Went here during our trip to Vegas to meet "@Mr.ArturoTrejo" and he was there serving, making drinks, and taking orders! It was our first time and we were pleasantly surprised. Food was nice and hot, tasty, and filling. We got a little of everything and we all enjoyed it. The drinks were delicious too, even the spinach drink. Arturo brought us our drinks and gladly chatted with us when we mentioned we watched his youtube videos. He was super nice! Glad we came!
(4)Paul S.
Frijoles great spot with inexpensive prices and large portions. I'm not easily impressed a simple local restaurant with authentic Mexican food! Shrimp nachos excellent choice.
(5)Stephanie P.
Loved the food nachos are amazing!!!!!
(5)Andrew H.
The agua fresca's are to die for!! Both times I went here I bought the spinach and was not disappointed. Tried a sip of the cactus and strawberry flavors and they are just as awesome. My friends and I had the chance nay I say the privilege of meeting Greg and I dare say he is the most personable man in Las Vegas. Needless to say the customer service at Frijoles is wonderful. If you are looking for a new Mexican food adventure then you and your friends definitely have to stop by Frijoles. Whether you just came from going to the temple or playing a round of poker, it's time to make Frijoles Your new place to eat afterwards.
(5)Rachael P.
This spot is so good. Best agua fresca, spinach is my favorite the tacos are really good and the eervice is so nice.
(5)Proof N.
We tried this spot for the first time last night. I have to say, the food quality was pretty impressive. We ordered beef burritos, chips w/ cheese, and a cheese quesadilla. We also ordered a chicken burrito. However, the cashier did not hear my wife order it. No charge and no chicken burrito. She decided to forego it & eat what we already ordered. I had a coupon for a free agua fresa, so I ordered the pineapple. If you want a refill, there is a dollar charge. So I received a spinach one the 2nd time. The Spinach drink is mixed with orange juice & lime. HIGHLY recommended. I also tried the chia lemonade, which was also amazing. If they ever had passion fruit agua fresa, I would stop there at least 2 or 3 times a week just for that! The nachos w/ cheese - was just that. Chips with real cheese on top. I was hoping for someone a tad more elaborate, but I didn't argue about it. Maybe some pico de gallo on the side would have made it work? The cheese quesdadilla was spot on. One of the best I had in Vegas. The beef burrito was pretty tasty. Once again, I would hope for pico de gallo on the side, or a better choice of sauces. But, it was tasty in its own right. The prices are not Del taco cheap, but it is comparable to Chipotle. I will say, for a start up restaurant, I am impressed they have a good following already. I think Frijole's will be alright. We will go at least once a month - and maybe more if a few minor things are ironed out.
(4)Cesar B.
This has to be amazing service! The restaurant looks very well clean and organized. I ordered by phone with Greg and he was very nice and helpful. He also called me back to give me additional options that I forgot to tell him. The food was really good.
(5)Wesley T.
This is one of my favorite places in town. Great Mexican food. I particularly like the marinated pork with my burrito. Mmm mm good.
(5)Stacy S.
Love this place! We eat here once a week. Love the burritos, quesadillas, rice, chips and salsa. Everything I've tried I love. My family enjoys it and they aren't big on Mexican food. I love that everything has whole pinto beans instead of refried! Everything always is so fresh. Yummy!
(5)Richard E.
Awesome food, awesome restaurant! I had the salad with carnitas and it was re-delicioso. Here's what I love about Frijoles from the time I walk in: interior design (love the barn wood ceilings), clean decor, friendly customer service, a massive agua fresca bar (what?), and freaking delicious food. Add the fact that they brought my meal to me with a metal fork (again, what?), fantastic sauces were at the tables, and the owner came over and introduced himself and asked me about my experience, and I'm a repeat customer. Guaranteed. High fives all around, caballeros! Do you franchise? Let's see some more stores, muchachos!
(5)Joe H.
I love Mexican food and this is the best in Vegas. The carne asada are out of this world. Also the carnitas nachos. Very highly recommended.
(5)Dean M.
Amazing, authentic Mexican food. Local friend brought me here when I was in town visiting.
(5)Jenna K.
do you know how hard it is to find decent REAL street tacos? the kind you can get in Tijuana or mexico city?? this place does it for me. the street tacos are packed with meat and onions and cilantro. the burritos are huge and will make a mess of your shirt..but you won't care because you can't stop eating it. i'm the NORM of frijoles. i live in the NW..but you better believe id make this drive for some good tacos, elote, burritos and the aqua fresca drinks.
(5)Kaden A.
Now I want to preface my review with the fact that we are huge Arturo/Nancy fans. We came up from LA and we were not disappointed! The food, prices and service is excellent! It was a joy meeting and chatting with the store's propertor. I expect great things from this restaurant!
(5)Nathan R.
It's a better Roberts. Went here the other night. 930pm on s Friday so I'm sure everything had been sitting out so I can't say it was fresh. Either way I watched as 2 people brought their food back on mistakes. My food came out hot and the way I ordered it. They do have Mexican corn if you like that. The favors of juice is very nice. Loved the mini tacos. Not so much on the burrito. Coulda just been the last of the chicken but the mini tacos were great.
(3)Matt S.
I promised to stop by on my way from San Diego to Utah and I definitely wasn't disappointed. The restaurant was clean and well put together. It reminded me of a homey chipotle, but a whole lot more Mexican. The food is fresh. The view to the kitchen is good. I could see workers chopping up fresh vegetables and fruits for the drinks and salsa . The cashier offered us samples of the aguas frescas, of which they have a large selection. After sampling, my wife ordered a chicken burrito with everything and a mango agua fresca, I ordered a marinated pork salad with a strawberry agua fresca. Our food was delivered to our table within five minutes of sitting down. The food was so fresh tasting and the aguas frescas blew my mind. Every bite was better than the last! The burrito was long and plump unlike the short stubby chipotle ones. My wife loved it and the red and green salsas they offer at every table. My salad appeared like something from Cafe Rio or Costa Vida, but not nearly as wilted or manufactured tasting. It was fresh! It came with what looked like an entire avocado chopped on the top, romaine lettuce, beans, the pork, rice and a green ranch sauce. So amazing! Although, I'm not a Vegas native, I can say that Frijoles is one of the best sin city has to offer.
(5)LUIS P.
I have great expectations, but they let me down, i order the carne asada salad, w beans, rice, tomatoes letuce and steak, but the dressing is to watery, too runny, the steak was blend and the rice mushy, also get the guac and chips, the chips way to salty, and the guac was bland, need a little lime , cilantro onions or seasoning, just taste like a mash avocados, the staff was very friendly, thats why i give the 5 stars, i hope you fix it all and for my next visit u will get the corn, (they didnt have it this time), good luck ...
(5)Shawnna B.
The food is amazing. The tacos are the best. If you like Mexican food you must eat here.
(5)Abby W.
Very very good. I am super picky about my authentic food because normally it tasted pretty bad in the states, but this was soo very very good. I think I tried everything on the menu. The ship cocktail is so good I'm going back today. My kids also loved it including the chips and salsa.
(5)Julio G.
Anybody who is looking for a good real Mexican food in the west part of town , this is the place to go. From tacos to shrimp cocktail, burritos and also the Aguas Frescas, no matter what to order,everything is delicious.......
