Strawberry margarita!

Do not let the outside of this place stray you away because the inside is so fun and nicely decorated! Shoutout to Gisele the bartender! Best margaritas and fantastic service 5 star lady! We just went for drinks and queso but I looked at the menu and it's huge! Excited to go back and try the food! Definitely making this my new Mexican spot!

I wanted to update my review & say 2 things: First, the cheese dip has been getting thinner & thinner it is literally liquid now it is so unappealing. Second: the service there has been slacking. I hope management sees this so they can talk to their waiters. We go often but lately the servers literally just stand in the back right side by the bar & talk the whole time while customers are: waiting for them to check on the food few minutes after drop-off to ensure everything is good & to see if anything is needed, waiting too long for the bill to arrive, ect. I was a server for 8 years myself so I know from experience that is a big no & looks unprofessional. Yesterday during our visit I asked for utensils which I got literally 10 minutes later and not even from our server because she was busy talking to the other servers who just all stand around but instead the bartender, because he noticed we kept glancing over at the servers to get their attention, which they noticed, yet kept talking. Unacceptable. The time before, the same thing happened when they were standing around & we were waiting about 15 minutes to pay and had to walk up to them to ask to pay, right after another table walked up to them about 2 minutes before we did. Management, hope you see this & have a talk with your servers about being attentive & professional, checking in on tables after food drop off then again about 10 minutes later, or your business will attract less people. Sad because the food is great, except the cheese dip which used to be when they first opened.

I have ordered Uber Eats from here a few times but today it was not what I expected. Everything was soggy and I have no idea what the burrito was swimming in but it was not like that when ordering before.

Kids chicken tenders and fries
Abbie L.

Where to begin... Came for lunch on Labor Day. The place was empty except for two other tables. Each with 3-4 people. There were 2 waitstaff. No bartender. For the children: 2 kid's quesadillas with fries, 2 kid's chicken tenders and fries, 3 lemonades, a sprite, and a cheese dip. For the adults: speedy Gonzalez with beans, 3 special tacos, Bahama Mama, Modelo draft, and a guacamole The waitstaff do not seem to be experienced. They looked confused and lost. They also had very tough time with communication. The speedy came out first but it was with rice instead of beans as requested. The cheese on the taco was not warm. The dish looked okay. It was not tasty. It was odd. Unremarkable and flavorless. Then the kids' meals. The chicken looked like it was leftover bits cut off chicken breasts to even the shape. The breading tasted like hush puppy breading and it was tinged yellow. The chicken was not good even smothered in ketchup. The guacamole came out along with the cheese dip. The avocado in the Guac was chunky which the hubby likes. It looked fresh and had a lot of chunky vegetables. The cheese dip was very runny and did not taste good. The tacos my husband ordered never came out to our table, they were mistakenly taken to another table but we only figured that out when the waitress asked the other waitress about them. She said she brought them to another table. Interestingly, the other table didn't refuse them. We never got our adult beverages either. When we complained and stated we just wanted to pay our ticket, the waitress didn't even take off the food or drinks we didn't get. We pointed at the items and told her we never got them, she asked if we wanted separate tickets. Ugh. No! We never got them, take them off the check! She finally did and we paid and left. The place has a nice feel to it, a little dark as there weren't many lights on. Looked clean. The staff were friendly but definitely inexperienced. It's unfortunate. I wanted this place to be good.

Barbacoa street taco

The barbacoa street tacos they were great and juicy I got flour tortillas The red sauce was spicier than the green but it was so good I put it on my side of rice I have to get more of those when I go back

Chorizo, pastor, asada, birria, lengua and carnitas mini tacos in corn tortillas

Vegetarian potato burrito and cheese quesadilla with rice
Greg H.

The facility is comfortable and the staff very friendly. When it came to the food, it tasted good but was cold. The plates are plastic and cold. I would highly recommend they use ceramic dishes so it would help the food temp. The grilled chicken burrito was so dry, it was hard to chew. This place is only 4 months old, so we may give it another try in a couple of months.

I had Mexican on the way down so I wasn't running in the mood for it tonight. But I could not find a place within about a 20 minute drive that had a great Yelp rating and was open on Monday night. There's plenty of stuff in the area, but a lot of it was suspiciously closed on Monday night. This place was just across the street from my hotel so I went in and I ordered chips and salsa to start, and then pork belly tacos. The chips and salsa were fantastic! Probably some of the best mild salsa I've ever had. The spicy salsa was tasty as well, but just a little bit beyond my heat range. I was very happy with the start to the meal, but once the pork belly tacos came out, I was in heaven. These are the best tacos I've ever had, and I've eaten a lots of tacos, and the best pork belly I've ever had. It was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. I ate it so fast that when it's finished, I thought a severe sense of disappointment that there wasn't more. The wait staff was great as well! The job I'm interviewing for is remote and I kind of hope I get it even more so that I can come down here and explore the rest of the menu.

Frida's has a great outdoor dining space just as inside. Today they have decorated for Cinco De Mayo.

She was very attentive all while attending her other tables. We had the Nachos Mexicanos and the Frida's Guacamole. And when I say those 2 dishes was very flavorful. We usually leave with a togo box. But today we ate every bit of it. The nachos filled the plate and was loaded down. The guacamole hit every tastebud. With this one visit we are certain we will be back to try other menu items.

The service and staff have always been very friendly and welcoming, which is something we've appreciated. Unfortunately, after eating at Frida's the day after Christmas, we both became extremely ill. Beginning the following morning and continuing throughout the day, my wife and I have been vomiting nonstop and experiencing the exact same symptoms, including chills. We can't say for certain what caused it, but the common denominator is that the last meal we both shared was from Frida's. The timing and severity of the symptoms are very concerning, and if my wife's condition doesn't improve, we may need to go to the emergency room. This has been a really upsetting experience, especially given that we've trusted this restaurant in the past. The atmosphere is warm and typical for a mom and pop restaurant with no concerns to mention. We live less than 2 1/2 miles from Fridas and consider them as our go to Mexican restaurant. I'm sharing this not to attack the staff, who have always been kind, but to honestly report what happened and hopefully encourage extra attention to food safety and quality.

So…read moremy Yelp search brought me to this place as a Top recommendation and when I say they did not disappoint at all, my burrito is so amazing first of all it's flavored to perfection. The pico de gallo is amazing. It has a good tortilla. It's just an out of 10 this burrito. Taste like home. Now to get the homestyle taste that I'm used to. I did make some modifications to the burrito. Their burrito traditionally comes with rice and beans, sour cream and lettuce and my order was just for the burrito with rice and beans. I was disappointed to find out that they didn't have guacamole, but the flavor was not altered because they didn't. The burrito was very reasonably priced. The place was clean. It smelled like Fabulosa, which made it even more authentic to me. The Horchata was 10 out of 10. The burrito was 10 out of 10 and my chicken taco was 10 out of 10 if you are from Southern California or have ever been to Southern California and love the Mexican food and know they were really serious about our Mexican food and we think it's the best in the world. I recommend you try this place. I recommend you make the alters to the burrito, but I will definitely be back. This is my new taco shop. My total bill would tip the burrito and the taco and the Horchata was about $22 yesterday I went to a place in the West End and the burrito alone was $22 and at this place today they have their salsa their hot sauce in the little cups. The one I went to yesterday was in like a plastic pouch. This place is authentic I love it if you go there because of my review, please come back and let me know. I included a video of me dancing because the food is so delicious
