Shortly after moving to the west side, we discovered Frida's, just a few miles from my new home, and have been back several times in the past 3 months. For starters, the staff warmly welcomes us every time--that's huge. Of course, the food is also great. I finally tried birria tacos, which were really good. We've also enjoyed Frida's fries, Frida's nachos, burritos, you name it, we have liked it! They also sell Mexican Coca Cola and other Jarito's sodas. Frida's already feels like a comfortable, familiar neighborhood eatery for me, and I will keep returning. They're located in a small strip mall that has ample parking, a liquor store, ice cream and a boba tea place. What more could you ask for? read more

My family and I order from Aiea and the food is always fresh. Their tortilla chips are made fresh and it's delicious!

Service was great! Went right at opening at 11, places my order and wait time was minimal. Very personable staff. I orders the birria tacos, a bit on the expensive side for three tacos, paid almost $20. As far as the birria tacos go, I would rate them as average, I think the technique was there but the flavor fell short. It was just very bland, no spice, even after adding their salsa and after the dip. It needed some fresh cilantro, maybe crunchy onion and definitely some more spice. Also the lime slice was dry, couldn't squeeze a drop of juice out. Their burritos must be good, every other customer that came in ordered a burrito. If I go again, I will pass on the tacos and maybe try a burrito. read more

Consommé was good! The birria tacos, rice and beans did not have good flavor at all just tasted very plain unfortunately. Lime and consommé really covers the taco flavor so they are not as bad read more

I dine here frequently with my family, and I have to say this is probably my favorite place to get that "Mexican food fix." I am by no means a connoisseur in this field, but the level of hospitality that the people of this restaurant shows is just stellar. The food is always amazing (been here at least 5 or 6 times since they opened) and consistent. Thank you to the staff for great service! Pro tip: Ask if they have Lengua. You won't regret it. read more

Good Mexican food is hard to find in Hawaii, but Frida's is a very solid option, the best Mexican food I've had in Hawaii so far! I got the California Burrito plate to-go. Food was out after a couple minutes. I was very happy with my burrito! The meat was just right and scratched my Cali burrito craving! I was also pleasantly surprised that they still used guac for the burritos (given the proce of avocados). When ordering the plate, it also comes with rice + beans, which were decent. The meal also came with chips and salsa. The chips were ok but the salsa makes up for it. I thought the portion size was decent for what I paid (~$18 for a cali burrito plate), but I felt satisfied. Service was quick. There's a large parking lot so no issues finding parking. Really enjoyed the food here and am looking forward to coming back again! read more

Food is bland. No real service. Just drop of chips, take order, bring food and ignore you the rest of the time. Need to ask for water and check. Never going back. read more

I was looking for an alternative Mexican restaurant for my beloved wet burrito. Saw that other yelpers frequent this franchise. So thought I'd check it out. I ordered the shrimp burrito takeout and requested it be made wet. I was given the option of red or green sauce. I chose the red sauce, but asked for a side of the green (an additional charge) as well to try. We were told the food would be ready in 15 min. So we left for another nearby store, made a quick purchase, and headed back. Food was ready for pick up when we arrived. When I opened my takeout, it looked like my burrito had sucked up most of the red sauce poured on it. It would have been better if they had put the sauce in a container to avoid the burrito soaking the sauce before it's picked up by the customer. I did get the extra sauce that I requested in a covered container though. I actually didn't care for the taste of the red sauce, and thought the green sauce tasted better. Another person in my party thought the opposite and preferred the red sauce. So to each his own. The burrito itself was a good size. I was able to only finish half of it. Normally I'm able to finish almost the whole burrito, but tbh I was underwhelmed by the flavor. Not to mention my shrimp although it had a slight charred taste, was unfortuntely overcooked and rubbery. This is a real deal breaker for me since the shrimp is the star ingredient in a shrimp burrito. My tips: Request the sauce for takeout wet burritos to be placed in a seperate container, or eat dine-in. Don't order the shrimp. Would I eat here again? Yes, to try other items on the menu, but I will continue to order my wet burritos at another restaurant. Service was friendly. And restaurant looked really clean. No pics. Food hit my mouth before the thought of pictures came to mind. I was starving lol read more

Didn't come here for awhile now but was craving some Mexican food and it's nearby from where I live. Had the Diego enchiladas and the other half had the 3 enchiladas. Everything was great! Food tasted freshly made and the service was great as well. We liked the fact that the plates come with the rice and beans because we have been to a few other places that the sides are ala carte and can get quite pricey. And we also liked the fact that it wasn't crowded and loud. read more

We had a great experience because the employee there (I forgot her name) was very friendly, patient and kind. We didn't know what to order so she helped us with that as well. Food tasted soooo good we didn't have any left overs. Lol Their location is sooo close to home that we will def come back again. read more

Notices this spot while going to the Chiro. I heard good things so wanted to check it out. Me and the hubby went after our Chiro appts. We decided to dine in. The decor is cute, you feel like you are dining in Mexico! The staff were singing to the Spanish music playing. Everyone looked like they were having fun. I heard their chimichanga was fire so I decided to order the veggie version. It is huge and comes stuffed with green peppers, onions, rice, beans, and cheese. It is super flavorful, and topped with guac, sour cream, and salsa. I really enjoyed it especially the texture. Which was light, airy, but crunchy at the same time. I also shared their chicken quesadilla with my hubby. It comes with sour cream. The quesadilla was also delicious. Hubby ordered the Birria quesadilla. It comes with the birria dipping sauce. Hubby liked it and thought that the meat was juicy and flavorful, which was enhanced by the birria sauce and a good portion size. We will definitely be coming back here! read more

The food is always really good here. The environment is clean, I've never seen any roaches. Service is always on point! I highly recommend!

A cute little spot! Had the Supreme Burrito, and could not finish it!! It was huge, super ONO! The service was great, just the two ladies were working along with the cook. Definitely will return read more

We picked up here an hour before they closed on a Saturday night, and I'm so glad we did because their food was delicious and their service was gracious. My husband went inside and ordered for us to grab takeout while I stayed in the car with our son. He ordered the taco platter, but another taco on the side, and I got the carne asada chimichanga. We ordered chips and guac on the side, but the employee said the order already comes with chips and that should be enough. She did process the side of guac for us too. The food held up pretty well during our drive home to Kunia. The taste and flavor of the food was good and authentic. I also really liked their homemade pico de gallo and green salsa. The only gripe is that each order didn't come with chips - we only got one small brown bag. If we knew that, we would have gladly paid extra for another bag. Overall, a solid Mexican fix with affordable prices. Can't beat that! read more

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but this place it the bomb! Fresh ingredients and large portions. Yum!

Food was great. Surprisingly loved the Spanish rice! Food was also ready in a timely manner and still hot and fresh. Service was great for a quick pick up order read more

The food here was amazing! Fresh ingredients and very tasty! We got the Classica and Fajita and both are worth a repeat try! Very satisfying! read more

I believe this is their second location apart from their Waipahu location and they've been open for a little over a month. Conveniently located in ocean pointe with plenty parking. They seem pretty busy so expect to wait 20-30 mins. Staff is really nice and help you with your orders. Got their premium quesadilla with steak and carne asada street tacos. Both were delicious and flavorful. Would come back and try different items on their menu! read more

Food was made fast and delicious! The price is very good as well Glad to have them back in Ewa as a restaurant read more

I enjoyed my lunch at Frida's in Ewa Beach! I will be back and will be bringing all my family. I had the Shrimp Burrito and a Fish Taco for lunch and a Fried Ice Cream for dessert. We just came back from a trip and Frida's was my first meal when I returned home to Hawaii! read more

Robert was my cashier!!! Very nice very good. Birria tacos were a good recommendation. He know whassup

Amazing Mexican food, great service, super nice people, clean and decoration is really nice. I got mole chicken enchiladas with rice and beans and it was delicious, my kids got cheese quesadillas and they loved it, my husband got pork chile verde and it was delicious too!!! Highly recommended read more

*** Shortly after my post Miguel, the owner reached out to me. Offered a refund and really hoped we'd give them another chance! Their food is GOOD, which is why we keep going back! Plus it seems like a real aloha establishment! I'm sure from now on i can simply request some extra Birria toppings and they'd be happy to provide! Thanks, Miguel *** Ordered 8 Birria tacos and a Birria quesadilla for $70. Tipped $15 of course. Always great service. Birria is up to over $5 per taco. Which is fine! Has potential. Pretty generous on the meat. Barely a shred of cheese, cilantro, onion to be found. Every time lol. Flimsy is a good word for it. Consume is tiny compared to their competitors but whatever. Finally called to say something. Take away- Make my own or drive to Sergs. read more

Awesome food! I was shocked at this little gem out here. I had the birria quesadilla, and it blew me away. Chips and salsa were tasty too!

We've been looking for a good Mexican cuisine place near our house and we definitely found it at Fridas. The food was delicious food, excellent and quick service! Will definitely be back! read more

Pretty darn tasty. Been looking for a legit Mexican restaurant and they have all the great flavors expected in great Mexican food. Service was great, BYOB.. Considering the menu they are expensive. read more

Great place for comfort Mexican food. You want tacos? They got it. You want burritos? They got it. You want chimichangas or tostadas? They have it all. Prepare to get your hands dirty though as they do add on quite a bit of food inside of these delicious morsels. Beware of the spicy light orange sauce though. A small spoonful of that would set your mouth on fire. I had the steak and shrimp tacos. They were so good omg. The carne asada french fries was also chefs kiss. You get the option to make each order a plate. This comes with mexican rice and refried beans with cheese. I highly recommend trying the carne asada fries. I am definitely coming back for more. read more

This place is amazing. The Frida's tacos with beans and rice and the California burrito are my absolute favorites!

Came in recently and was greeted by a sweet waitress (who I think is the owner.) when I asked if the horchata was home made she gave me a side eye and said "Ja, of course!" At the end of the meal when I told her it was some of the best I tasted she just grinned and said "that's because I made it myself!" Environment was cute and quaint. Service was prompt and friendly and not rushed. I took a Mexican coke for the road. I had the pastor, chorizo and langua tacos and all were amazing. My friend had the birria tacos. Only gripe was that the food could have been a bit hotter (temp wise.). And I wish they had more desserts. Will be back for sure. Best Mexican I've had on island. read more

Their carne asada burrito is always great, can't go wrong ordering that, and really nice employees

Frida's in Ewa Beach to me has the best Mexican food. I've eaten here several times and have not been disappointed. The service is great and there are allot of good things on the menu. This doesn't include any specials that they may have for the week. I've gone on the off hours so I don't know how crowded it gets but, if you can't dine in then take out! read more

Food was delicious. Serving size was moderate. Service was fast & customer support was friendly. Ambiance gave modern day Mexico. Would go again and highly recommend! read more

My friend and I were in the area during our lunch break and stopped here on a recommendation. It was the beginning of the lunch hour and it wasn't too busy. I have some food allergies which is a theme of all my posts. I had asked about certain ingredients. At first the guy behind the register didn't seem to want to check. Not that I blame him, it can be extra work and I often feel bad asking. It is a challenge sometimes eating out with multiple food allergies. Anyways, he was very patient with me and answered my questions the best he could. I did ask him to check on the oil that they use and he did. I decided to be safe and get the cheese queaadillas. My friend ended up getting the floutas. We both enjoyed our meal and the service was great. We were served salsa and chips while we waited and they were very good. The ambiance of the place was fun and I enjoyed the decor. If you want to support local and like Mexican food, I encourage you to come here. read more

Updated star rating to 4 stars. Miguel the owner reached out about my review to remedy the situation. Quick response & sincere. Feeling much better about the experience after his message. Dined in about 4:00pm on a Thursday. It's slow about this time only one other table. The server/host greeted us and I stated 3. She disregarded asking to dine in and asked if I was making an order to go because I had a service animal with me. When I clarify we are dining in she keeps looking at my service dog and then tells us to have a seat anywhere. Another woman comes up to us and asks if she's a service dog. This is 1 of 2 questions they are legally allowed to ask. She then proceeds to say she has to double check that she's a service animal and we need to be respectful of other people. I then reiterated that she's a service animal and she left us to order. When the server came back and we ordered she told us it was a $4-$5 up charge for lengua. The same woman who approached earlier comes back to tell us the price was $2 up charge. The server flat out told us she didn't know & then took a guess instead of checking. The food was good but the rice didn't have much flavor. If you ask for salt they bring you some no issue. The horchata hits the spot every time. 2 stars because the food is always good when we come here but the service today was not as good as it usually is. I've dined without a service animal before and been treated much better. read more
