This is a cute little mom-and-pop restaurant. The service was great and the waiter was helpful in helping us order as it was our first time there. We opted on the mimosa bottle, it comes with one mixer. A kid's menu is available we tried the corn beef hash, and the pork rinds hash, we both decided that they were not equally balanced as they were too much pork in each dish. The chilaquiles plate was good and flavorful. if you're looking for something, sweet, we would highly recommend the blueberry French toast. overall, the restaurant was very brightly lit and clean. read more

A lovely small establishment with a unique menu. Plenty to choose from including Mexican dishes as well as creative dishes. Service was impeccable. Friendly staff, all with smiles. Beautifully appointed interior with seating outside as well. We chose Banana's Foster French Toast, Triple Berry Mascarpone French Toast, and Chicken Sausage. All were delish! read more

Man if there was a time where I thanked my indecisiveness I was this morning. Not being able to make a decision on a good breakfast I just made the spontaneous decision of Frida's. Little did I know that that they specialized in Chilaquiles and as soon as I took the first bite I immediately knew that they took their Chilaquiles game seriously lol. Bursting with fresh flavor!!and a charming place in downtown Evanston. No frills. Friendly staff. An appealing and comforting quaintness. 10/10 read more

Returned to celebrate our anniversary. This time we decided to have lunch not brunch. Still got the mimosa's. I had the brunch burger and my wife had the smoked salmon and bagel. I wanted the salad rather than the fries. The burger was one of the best I've ever had. It was huge, must have been more than the posted 1/2 pound. Huge brioche bun with couple of tomato slices, lettuce, a large fried egg and 2 amazing slices of bacon. and a must have sauce. I usually can't eat more than a 1/4 pound, but I made it work and finished the entire burger. Glad I hadn't eaten breakfast. The salmon portion was huge. My wife had to bring a 1.4 of it home. Comes with hard boiled egg, cream cheese, capers, lettuce and two huge tomato slices. read more

Friendly and welcoming staff and service. Excellent food, both taste and presentation. Will return! Great meal overall.

Very cozy and personal atmosphere. The service was attentive and made sure all our needs were met. The food was excellent -- I had the Mexican toast with two sunny-side-up eggs, and it was absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be going back to try more dishes! read more

We drive from Lakeview to Evanston for the triple berry mascarpone crepes very often. It is the only thing I have ever ordered from here and they are so amazing that I can't order anything else. These are the best crepes I've ever had and I order cheese crepes at every restaurant I go to. They have a very extensive menu with Mexican dishes. Service is always fast and friendly. read more

This place was hopping on a Saturday morning. They fit an impressive amount of seating into a small space. Service was still fairly quick though and efficient. Lots of tasty menu items. I had to stop looking so I didn't keep finding something else I wanted! Love that they have soyrizo! read more

Everytime i dine in Evanston I'm so jealous of their restaurant scene. I would have loved 1/4 of these restaurants when I was at NU 22 years ago, although we still managed to eat just fine during my years there. I worried about finding parking near Frida's, but fortunately there were plenty of metered spots nearby on this particular Friday afternoon. We had our option of seating indoors or outdoors, but chose indoors since it looked like it may rain. Fortunately, we were seated right away. I prefer breakfast to lunch food so ordered from the breakfast menu. the Mushroom, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Omelette was great - especially since i was famished after playing tennis that morning. My dining companion ordered a salad which he seemed to enjoy as well. The service was great and they got us in and out relatively fast. Overall, a good experience and I'd come back if looking for a lunch spot in the area. read more

The food and service seemed okay the time I went, but it's very uncool that they have a giant AI "art" piece in their window of Frida Kahlo that doesn't even get her eyebrows right. read more

I've been to Frida's a couple of times for brunch and have had a good experience trying both their signature and special dishes. The servers are attentive and nice, though when it is busy they definitely try to get the tables turned over efficiently on weekends. The decor makes it feel homey. I recommend getting Frida's panini, breakfast burrito, or enchiladas. I get something new every time. If you go on a weekend, make a reservation as it gets busy. Weekdays you can usually just walk in. read more

I came in search of chilaquiles. I've heard that this restaurant serves the same amazing chilaquiles that they used to sell at Danny's in the city (which has closed down a few years back) and honesty? They weren't wrong. These chilaquiles were fire. Crispy chips, super flavorful verde sauce, perfectly cooked egg. I added shredded pork to it and it took it up an extra notch. Service was lovely, inside is warm and inviting. There's pay to park street options available right out front. I'd love to come back here real soon! read more

Went in for brunch with my daughter and we were both very disappointed with the food. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap with fries but they use more iceberg lettuce vs romaine lettuce so it's more watery and just not tasty Caesar salad does not use iceberg lettuce and my daughter had a queso fundido eggs Benedict and said the chorizo was just not good at all just like some meat with a lot of spices did not taste like chorizo and we paid almost $60 with tip read more

"Inspired by Frida, Devoured by You" . Still one of my fave restaurants in Evanston. Even if you know nothing about the famous artist, your stomach will thank you for eating such delicious dishes that nourish the soul and conquer your appetites. This is breakfast and lunch place worth trekking to Evanston to. My fave dishes are the enchiladas as well as the Chorizo scramble. Service is always great here and very good for large groups or even by yourself #evanston #chicago read more

Today's brunch was perfect! Our seating was during the rush of a lunch crowd but we were quickly accommodated and offered even a roomier table with minutes. The meal was delicious especially the superb egg whites omelet and farmers breakfast burrito. Charming wait staff, excellent service and delightful ambiance make for a high recommendation! read more

In Chicago for thanksgiving and what a wonderful find. Frida's has a vast variety of food options. Their eggs Benedict were one of the best I've had. Great coffee and chai selections. Atmosphere is upbeat and friendly. Beautifully decorated. Our server, Sally was friendly, knowledgeable and so sweet. She made our visit so warm and welcoming. If you haven't tried it, you must stop in as you will love it. Open for breakfast and lunch!! I'll be back again!!! read more

Best brunch spot in Evanston! I've gone to Frida's twice with family and friends and the food is simply spot on. Yes it can get busy and yes there can be a wait even if you made a reservation. Regardless, it's worth the experience if you're patient. My favorite here is the Steak Chilaquiles. It's pricey but you get a good 2-3 meals out of it. Service is overall friendly and efficient. During the summer months, they have outdoor dining on the sidewalk. Parking is challenging but a paid public parking garage is available 1 block east near the intersection of Chicago and Church street. read more

Food: Everything was so good! The half sandwich (panini) and soup was the perfect combination. I also really enjoyed the oat chai latte. My mom got the egg whites spinach mushroom omelette which was also really good. Service: Food was fast! Ambiance: Inside it was OK. There is outdoor seating. The store is small, nothing fancy to it. read more

This is my 2nd visit to Frida's this year. The 1st time I had the chorizo hash. Which is what I'll get next time I head here. This morning I went 180 degrees in the other direction and the Bananas Foster French Toast. It's really good. Loads of sweet flavor. As usual I was able to get a seat early with no wait. The toast came out really quickly. Everything was fantastic minus the tuba music blaring at 8:30am. The food is that wonderful you forget you're being audibly inundated by tuba. read more

A hiking Saturday in Evanston (farmers' market, Big Fork & Art Fair) included a visit to Frida's. The servers were nicely buzzing with energy. The menu had great choices. Fortunately, I had a 'let's share' companion (#1 daughter). Perhaps a one-time lucky order? No! #1 daughter revisited with a friend and another great meal. Our egg dish was fantastic and the Bloody Mary was top shelf. Looking at the menu, there's not a dish I'd be reluctant to order, especially the hashes. read more

We were in the area and decided to stop for brunch and had a wonderfully unexpected experience. We started off ordering a brunch mojito and Paloma. Then we ordered the mascarpone crepes and the corned beef hash skillet. Both dishes and drinks were absolutely amazing. I see why the mascarpone crepes are one of the top recommended items. Both portions were very large, my husband had to help me finish the crepes and we took half of the corned beef hash home. I can not wait to come back! This is a great place to come with family and friends and I know my out of town cousins will be impressed with the dishes served here. read more

It has been a considerable amount of time since I'd last eaten here but the food continues to remain as good as ever. While the atmosphere has changed quite a bit, this place still continues to retain its unique charm. Now service on the other hand was mixed to say the least. While it was nothing to write home about, things turned uncomfortable when we began paying for our service. Our server Jess was initially friendly, however her behavior noticeably changed suddenly when it came to the tipping amount. Despite tipping the standard amount, she was rather rude and quite frankly discourteous. While I'd consider coming back again in the future, her attitude was not professional and did not leave a good reflection on the restaurant. read more

Yummy food, vegan options, lovely staff, plenty of room for parties of 1, 2, 5, or more!

So so so good!! Get the al pastor. It was so flavorful and a massive portion. Service was great but expect a wait.

It's always a good time in Frida's. I always order almost the same thing and it hits. Love their mimosas.

We've been wanting to try Fridas Breakfast & Lunch for a long time. We finally made it in. It was ok. We ordered 3 dishes and shared everything. The chilaquiles were the star for us, but the other two we wouldn't order again. read more

Frida's in Evanston is my favorite breakfast spot there. Vibrant paintings of Frida Kahlo all over, bacon sizzling, eggs scrambling, pancakes flipping lol just an amazing place with amazing staff and their food is down right tasty. Feels like eating amongst family inside, very lowkey, chill vibe, but big flavors! read more

It's hard to describe Mexican food done diner style, because most times the good might be good, but it's not authentic. But this was one of the BEST spots that does it right. Every bite was more flavorful than the last. The Cochinita hash was mind blowing. My wife had the enchiladas suizas... also AMAZING. Make sure you make a reservation, bc it gets packed! read more

Such a delightful breakfast/lunch/brunch spot. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. Loved the food!

Frida's is one of the best breakfast restaurants in Evanston. I don't believe that they accept reservations, but they can put your name on the waiting list if there is a wait. My husband and I arrived in the early afternoon and didn't have a wait, but it looked like other larger groups were waiting for tables when we arrived. My main dish was the Fundido Benedict. This benedict came with two eggs, chorizo, ham, cheese and a chipotle hollandaise sauce, and pico de gallo. The ingredients together were delicious. I'm normally very unimpressed by the breads used with benedicts at other restaurants, but this bread tasted extremely fresh. The texture of the bread was also perfect for withstanding all of the toppings. We ordered one of their French Toast specials to share and that was also amazing. I look forward to bringing more people here in the future. read more
