Went last week and truly enjoyed it. It was full, but it's surprising how fast they work there and I didn't wait long at all. The food was definitely worth the wait, as well as the ambience and the Mariachi entertainment. I wouldn't hesitate for anyone who wants an authentic truly Mexican style food, to go to Frida's place. No reservations so go early. read more

I use to like this place a lot and came here a lot This is the second time now I've cane where their service is really bad I waited 35 minutes to take my order and then waited 40 minutes for my food and order was wrong. Today I get there wait 10 minutes no menu and told them we were ready and still nobody came instead they took another order if people who just sat down I'm really disappointed but I just think they're very unorganized and just need to train their employees better read more

My husband and I recently visited Frida's Place in Lake Elsinore and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. I ordered the quesabirria tacos with an agua fresca de pepino limón, while my husband ordered the birria bowl and a Coke. We were disappointed to learn that there were very few pork options available, with chicharrones being the only pork dish offered. The service was poor from the start. When our food arrived, the server brought us a café de olla that we never ordered. She then double-checked our order because she seemed to doubt what I had originally requested. My husband's Coke never arrived until I had to ask for it a second time. The food itself was underwhelming. The quesabirria tacos lacked flavor, and the birria bowl contained a lot of fat. The cucumber-lime agua fresca was also very bland and tasted watered down with little flavor. To top it off, after finishing our meal, no one came back to check on us or bring our bill. We eventually walked up to the register to pay, where we stood waiting for quite a while before the employee acknowledged us. She was busy making coffee in a regular coffee pot and seemed completely unaware that customers were waiting to check out. Overall, the food lacked flavor, the service was inattentive, and the experience did not meet our expectations. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

A hot spot right now be prepared for a crazy busy weekend! It's outdoors and set up as a Mexico style restaurant. The restaurants is in the front of the ranch. Food: large portions so many options from cafe de Hoya to fresh waters. My top pick fresa crema made fresh. I got a guarache de carne asada it was fire! Also a sope just to taste both. Micheladas perfect for a hang over on a weekend. The have menudo too. My hubby got chilaquiles and again huge portion. Some of my fam did mention food was a bit cold and hard since it's outdoors and they try to get all orders out asap. Parking and sitting: it gets super packed so be ready to park far and walk up to the ranch bring comfy shoes it's all dirt and rocks. Sitting gets full be ready to look out for a table as people are leaving. But overall a great way to get the experience fresh tortillas served in traditional Mexican plates and a good time! read more

LAKE ELSINORE LOCATION: We tried this place for the first time on a Sunday about 2 PM. The wait in line was approximately 20 minutes and we waited approximately an hour for two bowls of Menudo and three canned cokes. Was it worth it? Absolutely 100% would go back. The Menudo was the good kind of homemade... Full of flavor not greasy hot and just delicious. The Menudo came with a basket up for homemade tortillas that were so flavorful. The only thing I would do different is wait to get my cokes from the cooler until I receive my food because they did get warm waiting for the food to come out. read more

Horrible food. I truly believe they premade eggs & chiliquilles eggs were hard , all our food was super cold.

We went there last Sunday, 45 minute wait to order food. Over 1 hour wait for the food. We were told it was worth the wait... We finally got our order which only 1 out of our 3 orders came to the table. I ordered the same as my friend, Enchiladas Michucanos which were supposed to be in Mole Sauce (not even close) they were dry enchiladas made with hand made corn tortillas, inside was just chopped onions with about a teaspoon on queso fresco. Came with a dry tasteless piece of chicken and cut carrots in a tasteless something powder. Ordered Beans on the side (they were cold)... my husband ordered Chili Quilles which never arrived. He got his money back. I didn't eat my $20 plate of Enchiladas... Lesson Learned read more

Bad service and make it worse menudo wasn't warm would I come back Maybe not read more

To start the menudo is super greasy with no flavor . The salsa bar is no good but the micheladas are good. The thing that I did like about this place this that it's out doors and reminds me of Mexico but I will not be coming here anytime soon. The service is there is no service you pick up everything on your own food and trash. read more

Uy mal servicio nos hicieron esperar por casi dos horas y cuando estábamos apunto de llegar a ordenar nos dijeron que ya no nos iban a atender no vallan muy mal trato de los trabajadores y mal servicio read more

This place is over rated. We ordered menudo no flavor and we ordered the quesabirra,it was so greasy and pricey. We won't be going again.

Takes forever to be served, 1 person served and they forgot about the other 3.... She finished eating before we were even served. Horrible. When they finally brought the Menudo there was a hair in it. The taco was "warm" almost cold. For the amount you pay, they should at least have real restrooms too. read more

After being in Lake Elsinore for a little over a year it was a bit hard finding a restaurant that had the same "sazón" as my mom/grandma or Mexico. Today my wife and I decided to try Frida's place and maaaaaaaaaan were we amazed by the food. The lady at the counter greeted us, offered us menus and sat us down while allowing us enough time before we had to order. While we were seated we saw a few plates go out for the party seating behind us and everything smelled soooo goood! Well, we were not disappointed at all the foood was SOOOOO DELICIOUS. I tried the chicharrón en salsa roja plate. I also ordered a plain cheese quesadilla with handmade corn tortilla. The salsa roja in the chicharrón was perfect, not too spicy and not too mild, just perfect. The refried beans were delicious just like back home, and overall both of our plates had very good portions. My wife had a cóctel de camarón and she loved the seasoning in it, not too spicy not too mild again, just perfect I paired my plate with a cold Sangria (refrescó) while my wife had hers with a coke. They had Jarritos and bunch of other flavors to choose from. Who would've thought a little hole in the wall would've brought so many good memories while eating delicious food. It was worth the wait and I highly recommend this place to all of you! Muchas gracias por todo y les deseo mucho éxito! Nos vemos para la próxima! read more

Have gone twice since their opening in May. Super yummy food, finally a place that has freshly made tacos de chicharron. They call them chales (pork belly) with freshly made tortillas. I feel they are fair prices.$2 for a taco, $3 with the handmade big tortilla. Al pastor is very good. Chile relleno plate was delish! Will be trying more stuff out so far everything has been A1 read more

Frida’s Place - 2 tacos de chales, 1 al pastor - Mexican Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

The steak was good but one of the pieces was pretty much just to give to the dog. Rice and beans were normal nothing really great. People were nice. My biggest reason for giving such a low score is because I asked for a taco. The guy said oh I can get you a taco plate OK cool. That taco plate turned into the Kearny Asada steak and went from me thinking I was going to spend a couple of bucks to 20 bucks. So I've had that happen at a couple other places before I just didn't expect for it to carry over when you ask for a taco to some thing like that. Ended up being good but I will more than likely not be coming back. I asked specifically for tacos. read more

We happened to be running an errand & came across this small gem nestled in Lake Elsinore. A small taco shop/restaurant with delicious food. We ordered street tacos with handmade tortillas, quesabirria with a side of rice. They provided us with chips and salsa which was spicy but flavorful. This is about a 30 minute drive from home but we will for sure be making this drive again. read more

It's good. It's a big burrito. Not your typical California burrito though. The meat had some chewy tendons in it and the "guacamole" was more like avocado slices. It does the job if you're itching for a ca burrito tho. read more

I ordered the carne de puerco en salsa verde with nopales instead they brought our carne de puerco en salsa roja with no nopales. When I asked about it they told me they ran out of salsa verde. At no point prior to bringing me my food did they check if I was ok with the change. The home made tortillas were hard and almost stale, the chips were stale too. I was excited to visit this place because of the hype. It did not meet my expectations. read more

Great place. The food is fresh and tasty . Loved the chunky salsa they give with chips I actually used it on my tacos as well . The portions in their street tacos is very generous . Their taquitos was really good . And to top it all off the service was very personable and amazing which made this hole in the wall place a new go to for us . read more

Great little family location with good food perfect for everyone. Highly recommend trying this spot at least once

At a glance from outside I thought the food was prepared outside but they have a kitchen inside. We ordered tacos of different meats to try and could not tell what was what except the birria which was obvious and even though they said it was fresh it was alright. Their customer service was excellent and somehow we had two extra tacos with our order. The red salsa was good. The quesadilla de flor de calabaza was exquisite! The quesadilla de huitlacoche was delicious too. Their pork was questionable only because I couldn't tell what was what. read more

If you're looking for Authentic Mexican food this place will not disappoint you. The wife and I have been here a few times. We've tried the following. 1) Combination plate with carnitas. 2) Red chilaquiles. 3) Chile Verde plate. 4) Picaditas with Cecina. All dishes were delicious!! Saturday and Sundays they have freshly made Carnitas in the cazo. Made right outside of the restaurant. Some good stuff. Unfortunately I have no photos because the camera on my phone is broken. read more

I went into Frida's not really knowing what to expect. All I knew is I was hungry and craving some birria which is a mexican traditional barbeque dish in homemade salsa. I ordered the Birria plate and it was delicious. They serve all of their plates with homemade corn tortillas and all of the trimmings. They also have agua frescas. I ordered the cucumber water and it was so tasty. This place reminds me of a good home cooked meal. 5 stars for this place. read more
