About Frijola's Tacos

Hey y'all! 

My name is Marialisa aka Frijola. I'm just a baddie who loves tacos and likes to feel cute. 

Some FAQs about me: 

How did you get the name Frijola? 

Simply put, it's a college nickname that stuck. The story starts off with a visit to my abuelita who was watching the telenovela Frijolito. If you know anything about abuelitas, they don't play about their novelas. She asked me how college was going during a commercial break, but before I could answer the novel was back on and her attention was glued to the TV. I used this hilarious interaction and mentioned Frijolito in a skit during a group exercise and it stuck. I was called Frijolito, then Frijolita, then finally the name evolved to Frijola. 

What is it about tacos? 

Tacos are so versatile! There are breakfast tacos, puffy tacos, soft tacos, mini tacos, etc. Growing up in San Antonio, TX, tacos are a staple in my diet. Feeling happy, let's get tacos. Feeling sad, a taco can fix that. Feeling hungover, tacos taste heaven sent.

What is Frijola's Tacos History? 

It all started when I wanted a taco ornament for my first tree in my new house. Disappointed with the lack of taco ornaments, I decided to make one and decided that maybe there were other taco loving people out there looking for some too. The Etsy store was created and I got to selling. Soon after, I added stickers, tees, and a tote. The goal of Frijola's tacos has always been to provide taco inspired items that are cute and functional. As I moved the store away from Etsy to our own website (www.frijolastacos.com), I added the Rojo Taco Notebook, the Let's Vote & Eat Tacos Tee, and my favorite the Bling Taco Hair Pins. As I continue to create and source more items for the shop, know any items we have will be cute, functional, and made with all the baddies who love tacos in mind.
