This former Little Tavern in Hampden hit the ground running; lines were stretching out the front door within its first week. Not a hard thing to do when you can only seat about 30 diners at any given time, but now, three months later, those lines are still forming.

Mexican food is pretty slim pickings in Baltimore, and as Menckenites and Nacho Mama’s diehards defect Hampdenward, Holy Frijoles is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with among Baltimore’s Mexican eatery elite. The beans—both black and refried—are among Baltimore’s best, as are the salsa, burritos, and grilled-vegetable quesadillas. With its largely noncarnivorous menu and muy cheap prices, it’s also luring vegetarians and plain old hungry, tight-fisted schmoes in droves.
