Holy Frijoles - NachoQuest (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
It has been said by some that miracles exist in this world. Sometimes, lightning strikes twice in the same place, or two bullets fired from opposing guns collide, or a dog gets issued a credit card.
This my friends, is one of those occasions.
I have heard from others and personally experienced legendarily bad food at Holy Frijoles over the years; tales of dried, cracked enchiladas, hard rice that could chip teeth and stale quesadillas that may or may not have been sitting under a rug some where.
But this time, THIS time. I am blown away. These nachos are fantastic. $6 will get you cheese, salsa, jalapenos, black olives and sour cream. For a buck more, your choice of refried or black beans. And for another added dollar, your choice of chicken, steak, beef, chorizo or veggies (those pictured were $8 with black beans and chicken).
What makes them fantastic? Well, the chips are light, unsalted and toasted to an almost-burnt but still damn fine crispiness. The ingredients are well mixed into the pile and there were no naked chips. The serving size, for 8 bucks, is pretty large - especially with meat included. And the salsa is fresh, with just a bit of cilantro.
But what set the value apart in my mind was this: for $11, you can get the "supreme" version of these nachos with EVERY SINGLE OPTIONAL INGREDIENT. $11 for nachos with cheese, salsa, jalapenos, black beans, refried beans, sour cream, olives, and all four meat varieties - AND veggies? Holy crap! Er, Frijoles!
Caveat - and this may or may not explain the quality and timeliness of service during my visit to this 'versial establishment: I was the only one there, and it was during lunch. Your experience may vary and I exempt myself from any and all liability. Either way, this specific plate kicked total ass and it's easily in the top 3.
