    Signage and flowers!

    Wow! I've driven past this place multiple times and have never been in- opportunity lost! Had a wonderful breakfast with a friend. Portions were very generous and soooo tasty! It's a busy place but the staff was on top of things like coffee refills, extra sauces- you name it! The art on the walls also contributed to the festive atmosphere!

    Very tasty.   Home fries are a regular cubed potato, doesn't seem frozen.

    This place, yes! Not our normal side of town so we don't really go out of our 'circle' but we were heading to Costco and looked for local around there. Place is very clean, very cute. Outside seating. Saw a dog also out there. Sat down right away, server was fast, friendly, knowledgeable. *Kari* Food was hot and delicious! This place is tucked into a shopping center, right where Silver Dragon was for many years. Decent parking. Decent prices. We WILL go back!

    Tartine w/ side of sausage & Veggie Breakfast Burrito
    Kristina K.

    I came in with a friend after a hike, so we were a little underdressed, but the whole restaurant is more on the casual side so we felt okay. We sat outside which was shaded and very cute! The menu is very large and we felt slightly overwhelmed but I decided on the Tartine with a side of sausage and my friend got the Veggie Breakfast Burrito. The Tartine says it comes with whole wheat bread or jalapeño corn bread, and after I ordered I realized I forgot to specify which bread I wanted and was never asked. Upon tasting, I think the bread was just regular bread, which was fine but I feel is something that I could have been informed about before hand. However, the presentation of food was beautiful! Everything we ate tasted very fresh, including the freshly squeezed orange juice, which was much more than a "shot". I loved my meal, but I do feel it was a small portion for the price. Though, the breakfast burrito was one of the cheapest things on the menu and was quite substantial. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and my time at Frida's Cafe! The menu is large and there is something for everyone. I do not feel a strong need to return but I definitely would enjoy it again if I did return!

    Artist, icon, feminist- her legacy lives on in so many ways- including heavily/loosely inspired restaurants such as this one located in Tucson. When my kid did her own research, this inspired restaurant popped up during our mini vacation. Frida's C. is spacious- but do come early in the morning on weekends. My kid and I got right in the nick of time like at 10 or so- after that let's say- 11 on, you'd be waiting outside for your name to be called. You'll find breakfast, brunch, lunch, beer, some alcohol beverages, fresh pressed juices, etc. Expect burritos, tacos and other dishes with names like 'El Gordito Diego' sandwich, 'Hummingbird Omelette', 'Frida & Diego Chilaquiles', etc. My kid liked her cheesy veg omelette with a tasty side of rajas poblanas+corn and my mushroom+provolone omelette was tasty and what took my dish to another level was the side of fresh fruit. The pineapple was sweet, the oranges- heck, there are oranges and then there are oranges- somehow, these were freaking tasty. The single pancake my kid and I shared tasted doughy and was densed. But our fresh pressed juices though were money. Aside from the pancake, service and price were nice.

    French Toast Eggs over easy and a little under done Perfect breakfast sausages Extra side of fruit and fresh OJ

    Food was ok Servers were nice enough when they did talk to me Possible they were prioritizing they're bigger tables and regulars which is fair Very cute decor in tribute to Mz Frida Khalo Little crowded table wise inside but there's more seating in the outdoor patio from what I could see on the way in

    I wish I could say this is the best place for breakfast but I would be lying. It wasn't bad but it had no spark or flavor. The coffee was just ok and the Chilequlles was cold but I didn't send it back because it would not have made it more flavorful. I probably would eat there again but it would not be my first choice. I do love a great chilequlles but this was not it.

    I went to Fridas Cafe at 5526 E. Grant for the first time today. The staff was friendly and the vanilla bean pancakes I got were delicious. I got the 2-2-2 meal 2 pancakes 2 pieces of bacon and 2 eggs for $12.99. I liked it! The ambiance was cool lots of Frida Kahlo photos on the walls.

    First time to highly recommended Frida's cafe. Larger than expected with covered patio that someone had a dog ; don't know if dogs allowed inside? Maybe service dogs ? Big menu breakfast , lunch & brunch . I tried the huevos rancheros with 3 eggs beautiful presentation! Ordered another tortilla to finish the beautiful sauce & egg after finishing the eggs & rancheros . They have an early bird 6-8 am specials including the huevos rancheros w 2 eggs not 3 for $5.99 a gonga! Many great looking items on the menu ! I was very impressed and will return again . Se Craycroft e one block s of grant far Sw of L shaped strip mall with chuse fitness & Ross store on other east side .

    Great diner style food. Very friendly service. Clean environment. Big fans and we love coming here. Check website for hours.

    This place is a hidden gem! We were looking for a cafe for brunch and stumbled upon it. I love that the cafe embraces Frida with the artwork and menu. We went ahead and tried an item on the breakfast and lunch side. Both were flavorful. The rancheros had a nice little spice to it but wasn't overpowering in anyway. Our waitress was fantastic and informed us of some changes in pricing due to the high cost of eggs. Understandably since egg prices are insane atm. I do appreciate that the business doesn't want to raise the egg prices permanently but need to do to the current market. Can't wait to go back!

    Beautifully decorated place. Great food and the service was amazing. I'll definitely be going back.

    This charming breakfast place serves traditional and mexican style breakfast dishes. I really enjoyed the fresh orange juice and french toast. The staff here are friendly and welcoming. I always had a full cup of coffee. Overall a decent dining experience.

    Mexitartine
    Brad H.

    This is class food. Take a look at the menu, amazing flavor/ingredient combinations! I had the Mexitartine--delightful! They must make their own cornbread-like loaf bread. It was served on a toasted slice of this jalapeño cornbread. The sauce had good flavor without being overbearing. Every flavor works with each other. I also had one vanilla bean pancake. Nice twist on the ol' pancake theme. The Mexitartine comes with a small glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. It was SO good, I ordered another full glass. In both glasses, I spit out a seed and a chunk of pulp. That's not a negative, that's a plus. Shows it really is freshly squeezed. And it was delicious. My server's name was Genesis. She was smiley and pleasant the whole time. A couple of other waitresses were not so much. She was great. Portrait of the artist Frida all over the walls. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    A little gem. It a tiny place, but clean and the staff is friendly. The location is fine if you live in the northern part of Tucson.

    Looks like lots of yummy breakfast options but what about lunch?

    They have great lunches. I think they have the best sour dough bread in town & they use it for their club sandwich. It is even big enough to share. Their presentation of every dish is fantastic. You really can't go wrong!

They also offer non alcoholic drinks to go with your meal which is great and the service is excellent especially from Jared who was our server that day. For a Sunday, it was not crowded so the place was a great place to be in as they placed soft music for background noise. One of the patrons was able to do computer work on the side. Their menu offered healthy but homey breakfast options, not the place to get traditional American breakfast so if you're up for something unique, check this place out. There's ample parking and indoor seating. Delivery is available since I did notice a delivery driver waiting for orders by the door. The bathroom is labeled "Family bathroom" so it not gender centric and not to mention very clean/maintained. Lastly there's a 3.5% discount if you pay in cash.

A pet friendly patio is at the back. Menus are pretty big with a variety of preconceived dishes although they seem OK with substitutions. My friend tells me they have a turkey sausage option for those who don't eat pork sausage. Our waitress was very friendly, kept our waters filled and checked in on us often. All our food was well prepared and there were plenty of left overs. My mocha cold brew was full of flavor and not too sweet with lots of that coffee flavor shining through. So glad I ordered that with the optional whipped cream on top! Thanks to our friends information we received a military discount on our order. We won't see our friends for a while and we sat at the table talking. After paying our tab the waitress let us know we could stay to visit and offered to refill our waters if wanted. Very sweet. Two gender neutral restroom are down a hallway at the back. Highchairs and booster seats are available. A pet friendly outdoor patio is at the back.
