But we were happily surprised! The food was great and the Margarita was fantastic! Music, atmosphere, and service were fantastic as well. We shared the fajitas vida (more than enough for two) and I had the Vida Margarita. The initial salsa we were served for the complimentary chips was a bit sus because it was more of a tomato base sauce one would find in a "Mexican" restaurant that caters to the palate of people who can't handle spice (which is fine but not authentic) but the salsa that came with the food was perfect. Highly recommend!

We went here for dinner around 9 p.m. on a Saturday. The dining area was completely empty, but the…read morebar was packed. We were seated right away and given chips and salsa--the salsa was kind of bland, and the chips had no salt. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, which we appreciated. My wife ordered the enchilada combo with three different enchiladas. She doesn't like spicy food, and it turned out to be spicy, but no one mentioned that ahead of time. Still, she said it was good overall. I ordered the "pick three" combo with one side. It came on a giant plate (as you can see in the pictures). The tamale was decent but lacking flavor, the enchilada was okay and a little spicy (which I didn't mind), and the chimichanga was easily the best part of the meal--really good. The black beans were not good at all, though--they tasted off, almost sour, so I left them. For dessert, I got the churros to go. The menu doesn't say they're stuffed, but they were--filled with caramel and served with chocolate chip ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream. They were excellent. Prices were fair, and I'd probably go back, but it's not really my type of Mexican food. I prefer fresher Tex-Mex flavors, and this place leans more toward heavy cheese and sauces.

Frida Mexican Bar & Grill soft opened their second location in May 2026 in Alton, between Alton Bay…read moreand Gilford on NH 11, formerly The Lodge At Smith Point-Woodlands Tavern-The William Tell. There is parking in front and along the west side of the building. The place feels more spacious than their Epping location with a full lounge service bar with seating and high top tables to the left side and a full service dining room with regular table seating on the right side on the main floor. The lounge area has flatscreen TVs on the walls and there was a DJ setup too. The back windows on both sides overlook the woods towards the Lake. I stopped by Frida in Alton for an early Saturday dinner on a sunny day. The place wasn't too busy yet. I was greeted at the hostess stand and picked out my table by the back window on the lounge side. I was given an extensive Mexican-American food menu to look at. Reggaeton was blasting through the speakers. It felt like I was sitting in Lawrence MA or Framingham MA south of Route 9 (sh-tbox cars blast reggaeton through the city streets), without looking out the window realizing I'm in the heavily forested Lakes Region of NH. There were a mix of NH and MA plates in the parking lot. The bar also offers draft beer, wine, and cocktails. A complementary basket of crunchy chips with small dips of mild salsa, mustard dip and refritos, seasoned beef, & cotja cheese were brought out. I really enjoyed the refritos dip for the chips. I was given a glass of cold water. I went with the Enchiladas Rancheras with Shredded Beef ($17.99 plus tax) served with Mexican rice, refried beans & cheese. The food was served to me in about 15 minutes after ordering. The big plate was very hot, which had 3 enchiladas (corn tortillas) filled with stewed shredded beef topped with cabbage, pico de gallo, & cotja cheese, sour cream on the side. The beef enchiladas with the soft Mexican rice and soft refried beans & cheese were very filling to eat. I barely finished the whole entree and the basket of chips and dips. I passed on the dessert offer, again like at the Epping location, but I'll get dessert next time. The check with tax and before tip was $19.52 (cash)/$20.30 (card). Overall, I enjoyed a another great meal at Frida, this time in Alton. The music changed as I was leaving from reggaeton to upbeat 1980s dance music. The TVs had baseball and horse racing on. This Frida was actually a convenient stop since I was already driving from Laconia to Alton Bay.

Went to Frida to try the newest restaurant to see if we should put this into out routine. We were…read morevery underwhelmed. The Margaritas were flavorless compared to the local competition. Not a hint of lime, not a hint of tequila. I tried the mole chicken. I always judge a Mexican restaurant if the can pull off a great mole. Frida's mole was not good at all. Maybe the dish sat under the heat lamp for too long and dried out the mole sauce but my enchiladas were dry and lacked any mole flavor or spice. According to others at the table their food lacked flavor and seasoning. The carne asada was tough, flavorless and bland. The guacamole lacked acid and heat. Others at the table repeated the same, flavorless and bland. The service was poor. Our food was delivered but we had no silverware. It took a few minutes for our server to bring our silverware to the table. As our food cooled off while waiting he had no problem bringing drinks to another table. That seemed to be the theme. We had to find our server after waiting for 20 min to get the check so we could leave. With 4 other great Mexican restaurants in the area we will keep heading into Belmont and Tilton to get our fix.

We got chips and guac and the guac had an overwhelming amount of onion in it. Ok, fine, we were then looking forward to our mains. We ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and the Tostadas. Both had what we would guess as unseasoned boiled chicken. UNSEASONED chicken in a restaurant feels crazy, borderline offensive. Like so bland and boring, and the tortilla the enchiladas came in felt uncooked? So unseasoned chicken in an uncooked tortilla. Really disappointing. I ordered a side of beans (sort of assumed it would come with a side of rice or beans) and it took like 15 mins to come to the table. I wanted to eat them together so I sat with bland food in front of me for 15 mins until the beans could come. Served was busy but didn't check back in on us once the food was dropped. For the price, the food, and the long wait that came with it, I wouldn't recommend spending your money here. :/

This "fancy-like" rustic biker bar & restaurant offers a streamlined food menu featuring pub fare and BBQ options, including St. Louis Slow Smoked Ribs, Smoked Chicken. Pulled Pork, handhelds, burgers, chicken tenders, smoked wings, appetizers, and chocolate chip ice cream sandwich. The prices seem fair, given the popular destination for bikers and tourists. The place is actually not so "fancy" which red painted walls with guitars and black flooring (front section) & hardwood flooring (upper back section) with table seating, high top tables, and seating up at the bar which has flatscreen TVs, but minimal stocked shelves (at the time of visit) at the bar. I stopped by for takeout on a rainy summer night and was able to easily find on-street pay parking near the front of this business, which is harder to find on a nice weather weekend day. The place was empty compared to its other bar next door, which was very busy. I decided to order takeout and ordered The Fancy ($16) handheld served with fries. My order was boxed and ready to go in 10 minutes. The thick sandwich had tender pieces of slow roasted pulled pork topped with a smoky sweet BBQ sauce on a toasted brioche bun, served with thick golden crinkle fries and a cup of creamy slaw. This takeout meal was pretty solid good and filling. I would definitely stop by again during my next trip to the Weirs.
