Even the fiery salsa is still made with fresh tomatoes, chiles, and that special Frias family touch. Our menu includes some of the more traditional foods such as guisados, sopes, carne asada, chile rellenos, and tamales. Taste is never compromised. We also have a full bar featuring the city’s best selection of Mexican beers and premium tequilas. Voted "Best Margarita" by City Pages.

Went to Holman's Table for Thanksgiving dinner and it was fabulous! It was nice to have our choice of appetizer and dessert. The main dinner portions were very generous (enough for take home if you so choose). The turkey dinner (turkey, stuffing and gravy...) was perfectly seasoned. Our server and other staff were incredible. Having a nut allergy I was so happy to see their menu didn't include pecans, walnuts or almonds like so many other restaurants use in their holiday dinner menu. The price was very reasonable.
