I had the chilaquiles poblanos with egg and carne asada. The flavor was good overall, and the dish was tasty. However, the tortilla chips in the chilaquiles seemed stale, which took away from the experience. Additionally, the rest of the plate, including the carne asada and potatoes, tasted pre-made rather than freshly prepared. read more

Keeping our tradition alive.... The Hubby and I donated blood then enjoyed this new breakfast spot. Casa Frida did not disappoint. Everything was yummy. The hubby enjoyed the refreshing agua de jamaica (made perfectly) & I had the cafecito de olla (OMG). The cafecito with a little pan dulce was a perfect match. We then shared their chilaquiles with crema poblana sauce. We added some carne asada & aguacate. Staff was very attentive and the ambiance was PERFECTO!! * Agua De Jamaica * Café De Olla * Canasta De Pan * Chilaquiles Con Crema Poblana #DiningWithTheAndersons #ComidaMexicana #BloodDonatingTraditions #Foodies read more

I stopped by after seeing their giant coffee and giant concha, if I were a true coffee drinker, I definitely would've ordered one, but sadly I'm not. Instead, I got the strawberry matcha, and it was delicious, not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced. I also ordered a skillet, which was full of flavor and very satisfying. The only downside is that it's a bit on the pricey side, but given that it's located in the heart of the Gaslamp, it's understandable. The restaurant itself is beautiful and very clean, the staff provides excellent customer service, and the music is at a comfortable volume, perfect if you want to sit and work or just enjoy the space. Highly recommend and let me know how the giant coffee they also do it for Mexican hot chocolate. read more

I stopped in Casa Friday for some breakfast and coffee. I ordered the avocado toast at a whopping $15 and an Americano black at $4 and some change. The coffee was okay, but it had a bitter after taste so I asked for a little milk to help mellow it out and it did. The avocado toast arrived on two slice of wheat toast. It looked very nice upon arrival, but it was lacking in flavor. They put an avocado spread and freshly sliced avocado on top as well. They put crushed pepper and chili flakes, but a coarse sea salt would have really helped this toast get over its one dimensional flavor profile. Also, they should consider using a more thicker artisan bread for better texture. Keeping up with the Mexican theme, the addition of some queso fresco on top of the avocado toast would have been just grand. The place offers a variety of Mexican breakfast, lunch, and dinner classics with a lot of up charges on several of their items, such as chilaquiles and enchiladas, specifically for proteins and such. There's plenty of inside seating. The place offers some nice art work and decorations. The service was pleasant. My server Magda was very nice and friendly. They are just getting under way. read more

Was in SD (San Diego) saw this place on tik tok and thought I'd stop by and check it out. The waiting time was like 25-30 but in reality lasted like 15 minutes at the very least. Walking in the staff greeted us with really friendly smiling and made us feel welcome. The ambiance was great music every one having a great start to their day while am over here thinking on what time get to eat as everything looked so good and delicious. I went with 3 other people so they wanted to also see what was the big fuzz bout the BIG concha bread and BIG hot chocolate it was that or coffee so ended up with the easy way out and got ourselves the hot chocolate. Let me tell you it was really nice hot perfect way to start our morning. Wanted to try out the food but the concha and hot chocolate filled me up in which I was bummed out as I was looking forward to trying out the chilaquiles. The sad part we didn't get to finish the hot chocolate nor the concha. I'm hoping next time I come I'm hoping to try other food. Overall it was great experience definitely will go back. read more

Super cute place with great potential. The plates look 10/10 however tastes wise is meh ok. 3/10 Chilaquiles were dry. Milanesa was fried ground beef not an actual thin sliced piece of meat. Very slow service, to get our order down, drinks, food and check. Definitely wouldn't recommend especially with other food spots around. read more

This business just opened and saw it on my social media page and decided to give it a try! Beautifully decorated! They have a back room with a fake tree giving Cocina 35 vibes. They have a QR menu and offer a dinner option after 4pm. It's street parking and since it's in downtown it's a hit or miss. I ordered the chilaquiles which I think were okay but didn't have flavor enough to want more. I preferred a side of the chile verde side just to try it out and it was okay. The cafe de olla was okay but not my favorite. I requested the check and it took them awhile to get to me, maybe about 5-10 minutes and since my parking meter was running out I got up to see if I can pay upfront that's when the waitress stopped me midway and I paid. They do have the giant concha and coffee pot but I think it's only for the pics because who can drink that much coffee. It was okay but wouldn't go back. read more

The food is good, I had the enfrijoladas. It was very tasty. The place is nice but small, it seems that maybe they will expand later because the store next door seems to be also from them. We had to wait before entering which is ok, but the downside is that it took a long time for them to take the order. After that hiccup everything went well. The waitress was super friendly and nice. read more

Very friendly staff. Excellent and tasty meal. Would definitely come back. Seating outside is very nice and on a somewhat quiet street.

The breakfast and breakfast drinks here are amazing! We got a caramel latte and it was sooo flavorful and yummy. Also got an espresso tonic which I know isn't for everyone but I personally loved it and love that you can choose a syrup to make it more flavorful! For food we got the breakfast burrito and the chilaquiles with blanco sauce and they were both so delicious. The beans on the side of the chilaquiles were the best beans I've had in SD no joke! We also had great service and were sat very quickly on a Sunday morning! read more

The service is the reason for the 2 stars. The food is no different than the other Mexican brunch spots in San Diego. The effort is there to make it "instagramy" . There went Friday morning for my birthday, it was early where it was not busy. The waitress greeted us, took our order but after that it took forever to get her attention. We asked several times for water and we would have ordered more if she paid attention to us. She was more attentive to the table next to us than she was to us. I was highly disappointed by the way we were treated. It felt like we were bothering her. I was going to put a tik tok video of the place but I feel like it wasn't worth it. I would be too honest read more

We went for Sunday brunch and shared the enfrijoladas. Looked beautiful and tasted homemade--something every home cook knows is hard to do unless you're a professional. Actually inspired me to perfect my beans, which I realized after these are subpar... especially for someone who's been cooking for 40 years. So if you're in the Gaslamp and the line at El Gordo is too long just pop in here. read more

First visit today and had the taza grande and concha grande for the experiential visit. Had half cafe de olla mixed with half regular coffee. The flavor is very, very good. Less sweet but still sweet enough for my taste buds. The large concha pastry tasted good. And the best part besides those was the Mexican breakfast plate. Extremely delicious! I shared with a friend since the platter was large for me. The chilaquiles was super good! Will go back again! Our waitress, Magda, was very attentive and super friendly, too! I appreciate good service whenever I dine out. read more

We stopped by as we were heading back home to LA and it's was such a great brunch spot. I got the chilaquiles with salsa roja and it was so good! The chips were crispy, and the food tasted amazing. The inside is super cute to take pictures in. The service was good too, they sat us down fast and our order did not take long to come out. An excellent brunch spot.

I reached out to Casa Frida on Instagram after my visit, hoping at the VERY least they would take accountability. Instead, I got the most unprofessional runaround ever. They asked for my receipt, asked for the time I came in, asked for my name, asked for my phone number -- basically dragged the whole conversation out like they were actually going to fix something. They told me they would call me the next day. I waited. ALL. DAY. Not a single call. Not a single follow-up message. Nothing. Just silence. It's honestly embarrassing for a business to promise a customer a call and then ghost them like some teenager who can't keep their word. If you can't handle basic communication, don't pretend you're trying to "make things right." It comes off as fake, lazy, and disrespectful. The Instagram interaction alone showed me everything I needed to know about this place: zero professionalism, zero urgency, zero respect for customers. Save your energy -- because apparently they don't care enough to use theirs read more

This restaurant was an absolute headache from the moment we got the bill. We were a group of four, yet somehow they decided to stick us with a large party fee. That alone was ridiculous. Then they charged $10 for a tiny 2oz Baileys shot on top of the coffees we already paid for. And the worst part? My little sister ordered a non-alcoholic drink, the waitress messed it up and added alcohol anyway, and instead of owning the mistake, they still charged us for the Baileys shot THEY added. I shouldn't have to pay for their errors. As for the enchiladas, they asked my girlfriend what protein she wanted, she said chicken, and only at the end did we find out they threw on a $6 "chicken" upcharge without mentioning a single thing beforehand. If they're going to add fees, the least they can do is be upfront about it, not sneak it in at the end. The whole experience felt like mistake after mistake paired with surprise charges. It was frustrating, disappointing, and honestly not worth the hassle. I wouldn't tell anyone to spend their money here after what we dealt with. read more

honest review on my part. we went yesterday due to this video we saw on tiktok... you stand outside next to their industrial trash can and the smell of urine lingering until they notice you are waiting for a table. we got sat really quick because the tiny brunch area was half empty. the "specialty lattes" have no flavor. Just coffee. the food was pretty decent. but the skillet was kinda too oily for my liking. and they literally changed you for everything. you want meat on the chilaquiles extra charge you want egg.. another extra charge $$. also I got a specialty latte that was almost $7 i think. which would have been fine if it even had any flavor but my husband got a regular latte and they charged an extra $2 to add caramel syrup?! and that also tasted like pretty much nothing. he had to add sugar packets to give it some flavor.. that drink was almost $9. The server only came twice to check on us and disappeared we had to flag another server down to pay the bill.. first and last. no thanks read more

Came here for brunch and were understaffed, took forever to get our order not even drinks. Once our order was taken our food arrived before our drinks (coffee/bottle of mimosa) not even waters.

This place was a letdown from the start. They charged us a large party fee even though we were only four people, which made no sense at all. They kept messing up our orders, too. I asked for a coffee with no alcohol, and they still brought it with alcohol and charged me for the shot they messed up, which was honestly annoying. There were no napkins on the table, and when we asked, they only brought ONE napkin per person. We ordered enchiladas, and they added an extra charge for chicken even though enchiladas usually come with a protein already. The coffees were weak and flavorless, and overall there were many extra charges for such a disappointing experience. Not worth the money, I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Hi! We had a blast, food was amazing, service was magnificent. Magda was out server, she gave us great recommendations. We had the medium of the cafe de olla and was enough for 4 people and some. We also got the chocolate concha and are taking some home for later. I had the poblano enchiladas, we also had the enfrijoladas and chilaquiles. Everything was super good and came out amazing looking too. For sure dining back a second time and worth recommending. read more

I would have love to give them a 5 star review but unfortunately service was not good. We waited maybe 10-15 for a server to even acknowledge us and the only reason they did was because I stopped a server to let her know no one had taken our order. When the server came by he seemed agitate or bothered that he was sent to take our order or maybe that's just his face. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. My mom order a concha for my little one who was impatient and hungry. We had to tell him twice because they had no brought it. I will say that the owner (at least I think it was the owner) was really nice she seen my little one being fuzzy because she wanted to get up and walk around & tells me they have a kids corner & there was a tv she put a move on for her. So I love that and appreciate that very much. The food was delicious that was 10/10. I also loved the banana latte. The best I've had and let me tell you I've had many banana lattes. Again I think this place could have gotten a 5 star had it not been for the servers. It could also be a one off day for them so I would love to go back. It's definitely worth a try. read more
