    3 Tacos
    Brittany B.

    The environment was so nice & fun. We stopped here on our drive back to Orlando. The service was fast and amazing. The food was to die for. I love authentic Mexican food. The tacos we stuffedddd full and def worth the price. I would visit again.

    Decided since weather was questionable we went to Fridas since the first time we went we really enjoyed. Wrong decision for us. Started with our server Rina R. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas and queso dip. Our queso came out quickly but not the drinks, when she did bring out our drinks she poured my husband's fine then mine she spilled all over the table then laughed and left our table, didn't wipe up the mess she made or replace what she spilled. Luckily I had a paper towel in my bag and I cleaned the table. After half hour went by she came out to take our order, my husband ordered carne asada "Rare" with corn tortillas, I ordered 2 chicken Tinga Mexican street tacos. While waiting for our dinner my husband was scooping a tortilla in the queso as I spotted a long black hair in the queso, needless to say we did eat anymore queso. Our food came out my husband had no corn tortillas as he had ordered, she laughed again at him and said I'll get them. His steak was well done not rare! My taco I took a bite out of and I felt a Hair!!! Really??? I have never had this happen to me before and tonight twice! I was so disgusted and couldn't eat my food!! Rina our server just thinks it so funny and laughed again!! Margaritas are good they get the 2*. Our server gets a -1! So disappointing and disgusting!!

    OH MY LORD, We had the best time here. I'm not into Mexican cuisine but the dishes we ordered were Amazing. Our server RINA was a delight, experienced & helpful with my order. No matter how many times I go to a Mexican restaurant, I cannot figure out what the dishes are, UGGH I have an app from "allevents" & they put Frida's an an event. The event was a MARIACHI BAND This intrigued me so, I made a reservation (YES, reservations are back) YAYYY! at least in Florida they are. I booked late so we were the last ones to book GOOD THING! The place was PACKED. (This restaurant is always full with a "waiting list") Frida's is a large restaurant with booths, tables, bar & my favorite area on the veranda which is hard to get in. I don't know if & when the offer this was 10% off appetizers. The prices were also inexpensive, $10-$20 (Of course a little higher for seafood specials BUT, they were no higher than $25) Now, back to the *MARIACHI BAND* It was AWESOME!!! They went table to table. They even asked if you wanted to request a song. SORRY, my pictures & we started to eat before I remembered to take pictures they do NOT do the place justice (my husband's head was in the way) but, hopefully you can enjoy the the pictures ALSO, the gentleman singing had an AMAZING voice. They were even funny asking questions. If & when you go or they have this "EVENT" again, DO NOT pass it up. We TIPPED the band (of course our server also)

    Chicken Fajitas Burrito
    Lawal M.

    The food was delicious. I order the street corn and chicken fajita burrito. Fresh and large portions. The guacamole was fresh but had a tad too much lime juice. Good service and atmosphere.

    Birria Quesadilla
    Cori M.

    Food was lacking we noticed the ground beef had the texture of canned meat and the sauce was definitely sloppy joe with some lime juice while edible and not bad ....it wasn't good authentic eats. Service was fantastic I was great full for our friendly and attentive waitress who made sure she kept our drinks full and passed by the table twice to make sure we were all set. The style of the restaurant is nice I just wish the food lived up to expectations (you can do better at home )

    Cute place, love the modern Mexican vibe. The food was beautifully presented and that is about where the positives end. The fajitas were very greasy and did not have much flavor at all. The oil made the peppers and onions soggy. The rice was very dry and kind of crunchy, guacamole was dark and also not much flavor. The taco cones my friend ordered were also greasy but it was the hair baked into the shell that was the real low! Drinks were not refilled and overall service was lacking. We were all disappointed. Redeeming factor: frozen popsicle case on your way out! Could be a great place, need to work in food prep.

    Berry mango salad with chicken
    Julie G.

    Thought this would be a typical Tex mex place, but it was so much more! Yes they have tacos, churns o and burritos, but they also have a fun Caribbean twists. I enjoyed the berry mango salad with chicken that was absolutely perfect. We also ordered the table side guac service which had such a sweet cilantro and lime flavor. Very well made. Cant wait to return!

    Stopped in for launch. Not busy. Nice patio for the doggie to join us. Great margaritas. Service was excellent and so was the food. Best Mexican food I've had in a long time.

    Chalupa with Fried Avocado - Get a taco instead
    Joe S.

    Who knew there was just excellent Mexican in Daytona (Ormond)? Ok, I did as I love Mexican and have been to a number of different places, each good in their own way. This one is solid as the menu has a vast assortment of goodies. It appears to be simply, but there's a lot of diversity. I decided to try the Camarones Borachos (Drunken Shrimp which was my nickname in High School) and it was a spicy dish with a nice amount of shrimp, a brown sauce full of flavor and a boatload of rice. I also tried a chalupa with fried avocado which was a complete disaster (overcooked, hard, and dry) so be warned. They have some beautiful murals on the walls and it's a good size inside despite looking small on the outside. Other diner's had other items and everyone enjoyed their meals. Look closely at the menu as you can mix and match and choose different proteins (chicken, steak, veggies, etc.) and different vessels (taco, chalupa, burrito, etc.) to create a seemingly endless amount of combinations. It's far away from the speedway, but close to the northern beaches on Rt 40 (not far from the bridge). It's a good choice if you want to avoid the crowds, especially at 3p in the afternoon, which is when many end up leaving the beaches and crowd the other areas.

    First tim e dining at Frida's today and I was definitely impressed. We came during non-peak hours so it was quiet with only a few tables occupied. My first impression was that it was really beautifully decorated with colorful murals and furniture. It was bright, clean and inviting. We were seated quickly and began to check out the menu. What an awesome variety of options. I liked that they offer the standard fare like enchiladas, burritos, and fajitas; while also throwing in some interesting options like grilled cactus and two different styles of tamales. Tortas and zinchronizados, pozoles and more! Their cocktail menu is definitely something I will be back for since I wasn't in a drinking mood today. I was really hungry and since they offered the tamales and Chile rellenos as more "a la carte" I just decided to get one of each. And rice and beans. And maduros. YOLO, right? LOL I figured they'd put at least the tamales on one plate or maybe they'd all fit on one large plate. But no, they each came on separate dishes and I couldn't help but laugh when my meal spanned half the table making me look like a a crazy woman because they were all quite large. At least I have lots of leftovers :) I thought the food itself was pretty good. The Oaxacan tamale was a clear victor in the battle of the tamales as the Mexican style one with chicken was more typical, run of the mill while the Oaxacan style with pork was larger, moister and soooo full of pork. Yum, yum, yum! My son ordered a chicken sandwich, but being a kid with pretty boring taste he ordered it plain without all the good toppings. They accidentally sent it out with additional toppings which they quickly fixed, but I'm betting it would have been really good with the sauce I saw on it and the rest of what normally comes on it. We visit family in the area occasionally so this will definitely be on my list for next time. We love Mexican food and this place really stood out with their menu. The service was excellent as well.

    We were just in the area so I decided to check out this restaurant because it seemed like the type…read moreof food that we would want in a moment. So we entered and we were walked over to a booth outside where we made our order. I cannot recall what my order was, but I believe it was a chicken fajita and it was absolutely delicious. What about two or three wraps that came attached to it. My friend got the chicken, shrimp and I believe steak bowl. She enjoyed hers as well. The best part about the meal was probably the drinks. Those were super strong and definitely made their way through us as we enjoyed our meal along with conversation. The best part about this restaurant is probably the fact that it was empty/lunchtime at the moment so we were served and taken care of extremely well. We left a generous tip and if I'm ever in the area for Mexican food, I'll certainly be back.

    We stopped by La Catrina for drinks and appetizers. Apparently, the staff stopped by for happy hour…read moretoo. When we walked in, we were greeted by... absolutely no one. Several employees were comfortably hanging out in a booth, laughing and having what looked like the employee reunion of the year, while customers were left to figure things out on their own. After realizing we had become invisible, we made our way to the bar and waited about eight minutes for the bartender. We ordered a Pinot Grigio and a Bacardi and Diet Coke--a request we assumed wouldn't require a treasure map. The bartender then informed us, in so many words, that he wasn't sure what white rum was. He wandered off in search of this mysterious mythical spirit... and was never seen again. I'm assuming he's still out there somewhere, bravely searching the seven seas for Bacardi. After another four minutes of waiting, we decided to make our own great escape. We left thirsty, amused, and wondering if we had accidentally wandered into an improv comedy show instead of a restaurant. One star for the free entertainment. Zero stars for the service.
