Went for the first time on a late Tuesday, not aware it's taco Tuesday. The line was out the door 45 minutes later we make it inside. Two lines one to order on the left and pick up and drinks on the right side. I sent my husband to the order line as I stayed in the pick up line,thank goodness I stayed. when he came with the ticket the cashier handed him his receipt and said ok go wait back at the end of the line to pick up your food that would have been another 45 min. In line again. So stupid how hard is it to have a sign that says order first inside then wait in line to pick up. The only reason we would go back is taco tasted good. Just trying to save people some frustration. read more

2 words... garbage truck! Worst breakfast burrito ever, was dripping oil, mostly soggy egg, salty rock hard chips, and just gross. $8 down the drain, or should I say garbage disposal. Out of all the food trucks parked, they were the only Mexican food truck I saw. Since I wanted a burrito, I decided to check this truck out and give them a try. After looking at the food options, I decided to go with the special. (Breakfast burrito). They guy at the window was on his phone, and when I asked what came on the breakfast burrito he rolled his eyes, as if I should know what came on the burrito. Irritated by me interrupting his text message, he continued typing while saying fries, cheese and pico. I thought to myself, what kind of breakfast burrito is that. So I said, that's it? Another guy popped out the window next to him and said the breakfast burrito has egg, chorizo, fries, cheese, and pico. I appreciated him helping me out since clearly the other guy didn't care. So ordered the breakfast burrito without pico. Couple minutes later he handed me my burrito on a plate with hard greasy, salty chips. Yuck! I thought I'd have better luck with the burrito. Wrong, it was the worst burrito I've tried. And I've had many burritos. First of all, the burrito did not have any fries or any form of potato. Second there was maybe one spoonful of chorizo, hardly anything. Most of the burrito was watery with grease/oil, soggy eggs and cheese. Just out right gross. Couldn't stomach but a few bites, and tossed it all away. Says a lot, because I was hungry. Never again! read more

Frida's Cocina - Garbage- breakfast burrito $8 (no fries, barely any chorizo, mostly egg and egg) - Food Trucks Near Me

Unfortunately Frida's Cocina is the only vendor from our 10/22/16 wedding that we can't wholeheartedly recommend... First, the positives: *The on-site staff was super friendly & efficient! *The food that they provided was delicious. But, the negatives: *Poor communication/seriously delayed response time. We met Frida's for a tasting and emailed them the same day to request a contract for our wedding... it was several WEEKS later that we received a response with paperwork. During this time we called and emailed several times to make sure they received our message and our date was reserved. (No response.) We were literally one day away from booking another vendor when they replied, very apologetically, and confirmed everything was set with our date and menu. We were ultimately glad to receive this confirmation, as we really wanted to have them cater our wedding, but having to wait so long made the process much more stressful than it needed to be! *The incorrect menu was provided at the event. Several items (two appetizers and one taco option) were omitted and one taco option was substituted, without any notice. We followed up with them after the event and they replied, apologizing for the errors on the menu and offering a 10% refund for this issue. We felt this was a fair/appropriate way to rectify the discrepancies in the menu. However, we never received the refund check. (And yes, we provided the correct address & have followed up with several polite emails over the past few months!) Christian, if you read this, we hope you'll still follow through with this offer. Overall, the food that was available was delicious and we were glad to have some awesome tacos at our wedding. We can see why they have plenty of good reviews, and we want to be able to recommend them as well. However, we felt the delayed communication in trying to receive the contract, the discrepancies between what was contracted and what was provided on the menu and the lack of follow through on the offered refund are fairly unprofessional. read more

Seriously the longest time ever have ever waited for a taco, and it wasn't even good, tortilla was hard and reheated, food was not fresh at all... and they even got my order right... worse option read more

Great food. HORRIBLE service. AN HOUR and HALF late from said arrival time. They were busy at another party. I booked months in advance upon a referral. Owner texted that they'd be late and ready upon arrival. Guests ended up waiting 30 minutes for food to get prepped upon arrival. Menu items not on display. No drinks shown for guests. NONE. I had to ask if there were drinks for guests. Remember, Frida's Cocina arrived late. The venue I'd booked couldn't stay open late. I'd booked Frida's so our party would end at the same time as my contract ended with Frida's. There were leftovers. I told Frida's Cocina owner to load my car with leftovers while I entertained guests and bid farewells. I specified what we'd like just in case there was confusion....chips, rice, beans, meats, drinks. I was told they have no containers for leftovers. They didn't have containers for leftovers!! And not one can of soda was packed in my car. We received three or four plates of food and a clean trash bag of chips. I texted owner a few hours after event and contacted the business that referred Frida's Cocina. The business that referred Frida's had no luck in getting Frida's to contact me, refund me, or call me. I had to contact Frida's A SECOND TIME for refund. They blamed me for not getting in contact with them sooner. Owner Elsa said that she'd never experienced this before. She didn't know what to do. She said she was sad. She suggested making it up by having them pay for another party. ???? I told her I didn't want to use her business since they didn't fulfill their contract with the first time I hired them. I suggested they refund me. She didn't know how to do that. She couldn't find our bill. Elsa interrogated me about not handling this situation at the party so I let her know that I'm not the kind of person to cause a scene in front of guests. I found this unprofessional on so many levels. She, as the business owner, shouldn't want a client to make a scene. I was actually surprised she'd want a client to cause a commotion over her business right in front of other guests. They ended up refunding us part of the tip my husband left them. Yes, my fault for not telling my husband NO TIP. We were at a party entertaining our guests and bidding farewells each busy trying to get out of the venue on time, to which Frida's Cocina arrived late. I do not suggest using Frida's Cocina. read more

I'm really bummed that I'm leaving such a low star review. I manage the food truck schedule here at my office building and every week we have a different food truck out here. I have been working with Frida's food truck for about 6 months now. The first few times they were out here it was wonderful! But unfortunately the service has gone extremely downhill and we have actually had to stop using them. Pros: I loved the high energy customer service they bring! They really are extremely friendly and great with engaging with customers I was obsessed with the spicy shrimp tacos and all of their salsas. I also love that they have complimentary chips/salsa while you wait in line. The food always came out very quickly. Cons: Food is VERY greasy. We actually got quite afew complaints from our employees that whenever they ordered a taco it was just dripping with oil and you can actually taste the oil. They are not reliable what so ever. We have had them cancel on us multiple times,one time without even giving us notice, and another time only giving us a 2 hour notice. Not to mention one time showed up 45 minutes late (when our serving time is only 2 hours). Management seems a little unorganized with their schedule and can sometime be hard to get a response. They don't seem to take their business seriously or make the effort. There is ALOT of competition when it comes to taco trucks....there is quite a selection to choose from so this is a really concerning issue. Everyone is very sweet and friendly but when it comes to event planning.....having a reliable reputation is a must. I hope that they can take this feedback as a helping tool to improve their business. There is definitely some potential here. read more

My kids school hosted a Spring Fling carnival yesterday and Frida's Cocina was one of the food trucks there. I ordered the special two tacos with chips for $8. I choose the carne asada tacos. It was late afternoon and they weren't busy yet so I got my order really fast. My paper boat only had the tacos so I filled it up with the tortilla chips that were on the table. The salsas for dipping came in big bottles and I filled two of the tiny cups with the red salsa. The tacos were sooo good!!! The meat was so tender and perfectly seasoned. I usually put hot sauce on my tacos but I didn't put anything on this time for two reasons: 1. the tacos were perfect the way they were 2. The red sauce was actually pretty nasty... bitter and spicy. I hope to see this food truck around again... I would like to try all the other items they have. I wanted to order more yesterday but we had to go and the line had gotten so long by the time we left at 6 p.m. read more

My brother in law had Frida's Cocina Food Truck cater his birthday party! It was delicious and the service was amazing! I love how it's a family ran business and their daughter was helping out. Our guests had a blast and were so in awe. They had tacos (beef, chicken and fish), beans, rice, chips, sodas and even brought flan and churros!! Would definitely use them again and recommend! read more

Frida's Cocina - Food Trucks Near Me

How can you be this organized? You write down a name and then you write down what the person ordered and yet, you're still calling out the wrong names and forgetting orders. Once we finally received the food the quality was subpar for San Diego standards. Greasy, lowest quality meat. If you're considering hiring this food truck for your event I'd definitely give them a pass. Even if they don't mess up the food is completely uninspiring. read more

My Husband and I arranged for Frida's Cocina Food Truck to cater at the reception of our Daughter's baptism. They showed up with everything necessary to do a seamless job providing carne asada and pollo tacos, along with beans, rice, and guacamole. They even offered to make fish tacos as well which was amazing! For a party of 50, they displayed a table showcasing the three plates available to choose from and took everyone's individual order. It was great, the food was delicious, but more importantly--they gave us an exceptional service. We've also gone to their normal location between Plaza Boulevard & Palm and ordered several Mariscos items. I'm a big fan of consume, and theirs is rich, hot, with fresh ingredients. Their cocktails are great too. You can either pay with cash or card. They use an iPad to take your card payments, their business is no-joke! I would definitely recommend Frida's Cocina Food Truck. Try them out and it will become a staple eatery for you and yours. read more

My favorite has been the fish tacos! They're BOMB! Then I recently had the opportunity to try their Italian food catered at our company Christmas Party and it was soooo delicious. Everything was homemade. The lasagna was juicy and cheesy and the Alfredo was one of the best I've ever had! YUM! Wish I had more ;) read more

I tried Frida's Cocina burrito at this event in Vista, CA. Among ice cream truck, waffle truck and other light catering food truck at this event, this was logical choise for our hungry family. It now has been couple weeks since we ate there and I still remeber that great chicken burrito loaded with marinated meat and red, green bell pepers and other vegetables. We ordered garlic shrimp burrito and marinated chicken burrito. And both were loaded with original flavor ons. Usually I hate to buy food at public events for two reasons - most of the time the food choices are scarce and over priced. NOT so at Frida's cocina food truck. We paid $8 per burrito, but the value you get far surpasses the price. We were offered plenty of chips and salsa while waiting. And the food was the highest quality. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and cleaned. Chicken was tender and flavorful. I now have to follow this best mexican food truck in San Diego just because of this unique recipe. Seriously if owner or manager is reading this review please reply with link where to find your catering truck next on regular basis ( facebook or scheduled events or update). read more

All I can say is wow!! I used them for a work event for 200+ people a few months ago and knew I wanted them for my MBA graduation party. They showed up right on time with clean and professional uniforms ready to serve. They had two friendly waiters taking and serving orders so my guests didn't have to leave the live music. I couldn't be happier. Oh and did I mention the food was awesome?! They served a beef, chicken, fish and veggie taco. So simple but sooooo good! Highly recommended! Reliable, professional, friendly and talented. read more

Frida's Cocina - Nothing like a food truck in your front yard for a party!! - Food Trucks Near Me

If I were a dog, I would chase after this taco truck with hunger, loneliness, and undying loyalty. I would sleep under the shade of its metal walls and dream of the deliciousness wafting in my nose and settling like some homey and cozy aroma into my fur. Except it's not homey--it's savory modern and fresh and the sauce extras are making me slobber even now--and those enticing flavors are why I would run away from home in the first place. To follow Frida's Cocina Food Truck to the ends of the earth. That said, the humans could use more cookstaff at big hungry events, like the one at 3RDSPACE last weekend. Frida's folks busted their hineys but the wait was long. Worth it for being mouthwateringly fresh, but long. Torturously long, when it looked and smelled so good. That said, this human will go and wait again. read more

We booked this truck as one of 4 for our elementary school PTA event and they were fantastic!!! They arrived on time and set up on time. It was the only truck that had put a table in front of their truck and were interacting with the guests which was really cool as our event was designed to get people in our community socializing and mingling together. Their food was FANTASTIC! I never knew Mexican food out of a truck could taste so amazing! Their food rivaled that of fancy sit-down restaurants! Overall they are a must have at any event. I mean, come on! Who doesn't like Baja food! And nobody does Baja truck food like them. read more

Frida's Cocina Food Truck serves Mission Brewery tasting room customers most Friday evenings. I recently had the pleasure of sampling some of the best fish tacos around town...and I'd never have imagined they'd come from a Food Truck. The "pulpo al mojo de ajo" was simply awesome! The service and food were both worth the short wait time. And Karla's time answering questions and explaining the menu were priceless...not without mention she's gorgeous! read more

I feel so incredibly blessed to know the owners and team of Frida's Cocina Food Truck. This is a special group of people!! Elsa and Johnny are like no one else I've ever worked with. They put so much heart and love into what they do. We hosted my Mom's 70th birthday party at my house last night for over 80 adults. The colors were Gold, Black and White. The Frida's Cocina team worked with me on the perfect menu and schedule for the night. They even provided Bar Tenders to attend to both bars and both guys did a wonderful job! Elsa handmade everything! The love she put into these beautiful and delicious cupcakes was unreal to me. We were texting pictures back and forth of platters and ideas, I don't know what other catering company would put so much effort into someone's party like that, my heart feels absolutely full right now. The Food was Unreal. Most conversations going around at the party was about how awesome the Fish Tacos were! I personally had the chicken and it looked and tasted so so good!! They handled every little detail from setting up their nicely presented table to the absolute best staff imaginable. They went around with trays serving ceviche, mushroom taquitos and this insane corn in a cup. They prepared beautiful fruit on sticks and vegetables in cute clear boxes with ranch dressing at the bottom, such a nice touch. They served the most delicious flan and created fresh churros that was one of the biggest hits of the night. I truly can't say thank you enough and without hesitation would recommend Frida's Cocina to anyone for any party, you will be happy you did! 5 stars all day. read more

This food is authentic Mexican food! From the first bite of their salmon taco.....YAIKS...fresh and scrumptious.. I wish I lived closer so I can go daily... but for sure it will be my destination every time I head south of the border or around the San Diego area. As I placed my order they offered me a complimentary delicious warm "consome" soup. Now, that is is customer service!  I also tried the clams which I strongly recomend and my girlfriend had the shrimp in garlic sauce with a tangy chipotle sauce...delicious!!!! Even the cook proudly came out of the truck and ask if we liked the food! I WILL BE BACK.. Fridas CocinaMexican Restaurant 5 stars · 186 likes read more

Frida's Cocina catered my 09/01/2018 wedding at Milagro Farm Winery this weekend and they did an amazing job! I communicated about 9 months early with Elsa about what I wanted and they did not disappoint! The salmon taco and fish taco were amazing! They made a great vegetarian taco with grilled veggies that was bomb! With everything they provide you can't beat the price! They are very reasonable and worked with my budget. Everyone who came to the wedding loved the food and did not leave hungry. The 3 tacos are generous in size and with chips, salsa, beans, and rice, it's sure to fill up the hungriest of guests. The provided beverages and appetizers that were very yummy. We chose a jicama salad that was vegan and vegetarian friendly and a civiche. Both came in cute plastic cups. The team at Frida's was very professional. I'm beyond thrilled and would highly recommended them for a wedding! Thank you Fridas Cocina for making my special day that much nicer read more

Frida's Cocina is amazing! They catered my wedding in May and they went above and beyond what I expected from a food truck. Christian helped my husband and I put together a menu that catered to our guest, including our vegetarian family members. They kept us up to date the whole step of the way. On the big day they decorated their table beautifully, which is a detail I didn't expect. They were on time and ran the food quickly so my guest didn't have to wait. And the food....delicious! I would definitely refer them to anyone who needs catering for any type of events. Thank you Frida's Cocina for making our wedding day extra special. read more

We hired Frida's Cocina to cater a welcome party before our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier! Since we emailed them to enquire, they were always prompt and courteous, and they even drove their truck all the way to Scripps Ranch just to give us a taste of their delicious tacos and salsas! Everything is so fresh and tasty and the fish taco especially is amazing! After we booked them for the welcome party, they accommodated all our requests (we wanted custom veggie tacos, gluten free chips, different plates etc) and even suggested some changes themselves! The day of the party, they were very punctual, their taco stand setup looked great, and the food was fresh and delicious. Their service was also very good. All our guests really enjoyed the food, and we are so happy that we hired them! I would recommend them for any party! read more

Fridas Cocina catered a 40th birthday party I was at last night in San Diego. The tacos were absolutely the best I have had. The fish tacos were cooked just right. Tender and flaky.

It was a pleasure working with Juan from Frida's Cocina Food Truck. They responded promptly to all communication before the event, and he arrived in plenty of time to get set up before the event began. He was professional and friendly, and gave great service. One of the other food trucks we had booked never showed up, but Frida's Cocina and the other truck that came both brought enough extra food that they were still able to serve our crowd of 900 without a problem. And we really appreciate the donation that he gave back to our school! We would definitely work with him again in the future. read more
