In a Lincolnwood strip mall, this BYOB spot packs in the crowds for traditional Mexican meals--don't miss the tortilla soup. Read Full Editorial
Keep on driving - wasted my time by 4Paul4 via Citysearch on 9/9/2011
Never even got to a table..... Hostess told us 15-20 minutes. After 45 minutes we began to inquire and were told it would be soon. After an hour and 15 minutes we gave up and went for Chinese.
Consistently good authentic Mexican fare by Jacqueline M via Insider Pages on 6/11/2009
I have been to Wholly Frijoles several times before and after they were featured in multiple Chicago-area media outlets (Check, Please!, Timeout, Chicago Tribune, Yelp.com, etc.).The food really is VERY AUTHENTIC and really, really tasty.…
This is not your Tex-Mex food place that's why... by michellej via Menuism on 2/27/2009
This is not your Tex-Mex food place that's why I love it! It's huge portions and really good food! I had...
I look forward to eating here. by John S via Insider Pages on 2/15/2008
I have been to Wholly Frijoles on several occasions and have been very pleased with the service and the food. I live a couple of miles from this place and I consider it one of my favorite Mexican restaurant's. The prices are fair and you…
At least try it once! by loveiswan via Citysearch on 2/13/2007
I tried this place out about a month ago. First, plan accordingly; the wait will be long, so if you want to have dinner at around 7:00 p.m. go and put your name on a waiting list at around 5:00 p.m. or 5:30. The food was good! My Boyfriend…
Wholly Frijoles! The management is Terrible! by Julie E via Insider Pages on 11/25/2006
Food aside, the management of this restaurant is atrocious! I have never been treated so poorly in my life! After my boyfriend had sour cream spilled all over him all we were given was a halfhearted sorry from the waitress who had done it,…
This place really BUGS me! by Dave A via Insider Pages on 11/25/2006
Not only did we wait over an hour and fifteen minutes to be seated, but the staff was totally rude, with the exception of our waiter. The food was mediocre at best, not enough spice or flavor. On top of that there was some type of insect…

Great food, nice service by xman_cometh via Citysearch on 8/9/2006
My family and I planned on going to Wholly expecting the usual crowd and its well known 45 minutes to an hour wait. But, thanks to the advise of the other diners of this site, I called ahead and was put on a wait list since they do not…
Insect Ridden by matiasam via Citysearch on 7/24/2006

Yummy! by carrie b via Insider Pages on 11/14/2005
I love this place. I do not care for the chicken because it is cubed and not shredded! The guacamole and chips are really really good. Salsa is a little hot for me but i am a wimp!
The BEST Mexican food by Michele M. via Judy's Book on 11/3/2005
If you like AUTHENTIC Mexican food then you'll love Wholly Frijoles. This is my favorite place eat. The food is always good. One of my favorite dishes is the steak or chicken enchilada's with mole sauce. Or try one of the many seafood…
Muy Bueno by seeheld via Citysearch on 10/9/2005
Yes, the wait is long but that indicates the popularity of the place. The food was excellent and the service better than expected considering the crowd. Everything I have tasted in this restaurant has been delicious - the best Mexican…
DISGUSTING by john_schmelk via Citysearch on 9/25/2005
The service at this establishment is appalling. The wait is long; the service indifferent; and the manager is downright rude. The food was, at best, edible. I would not recommend this restaurant if my life depended on it.
worth the wait by lhuerta17 via Citysearch on 9/6/2005
This restaurant serves some of the best Mexican food I've ever had, and I'm Mexican, so I eat Mexican food almost every day. I agree with the other reviews that the wait is incredibly long, I've waited two hours on two different…
Run, don't walk by marycjones via Citysearch on 8/13/2005
We called to get our name on the list to avoid a wait. We got there on time and were told that it would be an additional twnety minutes. After FORTY FIVE minutes, we informed the hostess and two other employees that we were leaving…

Awesome Mexican food by Beth G via Insider Pages on 7/8/2005
This independent Mexican restaurant has great food, a cozy atmosphere and extremely reasonable prices. They have a children's menu, and you can BYOB. Phone ahead for reservations, though, because waits can be long.
