Be aware parking can be a challenge. I was able to locate a space and parallel parked right in front. I arrived just before noon. I was seated immediately. My drink order was taken within a few minutes and my food order when my drink arrived. Ceramic plates, metal utensils, paper napkins. Staff was friendly and courteous. Complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered the Mocajete. Not sure I spelled that correctly. Lots of meats and grilled veggies. Beef, chicken, sausage and shrimp. Inside is very unique and colorful. The chips were thick and crunchy, the salsa spicy but not too spicy. I liked it, The spicing and flavor of my food was Really Good! It was a lot of food for the price. I definitely enjoyed my lunch and will be back. Thank you fellow Yelpers for helping me discover this place! read more

This downtown spot is indeed filled with Kahlo and Kahlo-esque decor, bright and funky in the best way. The salsas rate from "pleasantly hot" to "make your head tingle" to "am I crying?" so be wise in your consumption. Service was attentive and pleasant, and the drinks were very reasonably priced. My family got basic fare. The green and red enchiladas both looked great (the green with chicken tasted great too), and my wife's "morning in a bowl" would have fit in at a fancy brunch. However, my Molcajete was the star of the show. Sizzling and filled with delicious meats, cheese, peppers, and onions. It was a serious amount of food, and everything was kept piping hot throughout the whole meal. Dessert was pretty legit too. The churros are big and perfect. The Sopapillas were light and delicious, though I was left wishing for powdered sugar. Overall, this place is a new favorite for our frequent trips to Corpus. read more

Amazing Mexcian food found here!! The waitress was very kind to provide good recommendations to us - especially to recommend the Fajita dinner platter for 2 for our table (3 total)! She was spot on with the portion size because it was A LOT of food. It came with chicken, big gulf shrimp, thin fajita steaks, a few pieces of sausage, and grilled peppers and onions. WOW is all I can say - the chicken was surprising my favorite thing on the hot plate, with second plate to the grilled shrimp. I also ordered the horchata - immaculate! read more

Fridas Mexican Restastaurant - Fajitas for 2 - Beverage Store Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Eclectic, not your average Mexican food establishment, but great anyway! A "Must Visit " whenever you're in downtown Corpus Christi!

We came here specifically because they clearly labeled their items as vegetarian (this is actually a huge win for Corpus Christi where several other Mexican restaurant menus left me guessing if I could even eat there). Overall, the food was decent and I appreciated that it came with extra salsa (the salsa girlies get it). We did run into two snafus: 1. They had 2 items in the vegetarian section and the one that I ordered (enchiladas) were no longer available which left me with the quesadilla. This was a bit of a bummer because I was really looking forward the enchiladas! 2. I got a margarita flight which was listed at $13. It was delicious! However, when the bill came, it was listed at $16 which took me by surprise. The server was apologetic and was able to figure it out with management. I am grateful for how they handled the situation. read more

Fridas Mexican Restastaurant - Enchilada plate and burrito! - Beverage Store Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

We came by here with some friends while we were staying at a nearby hotel in Corpus Christi. It was recommended by those who had been there before, and when we walked in, it seemed like a nice, no-frills Tex-Mex place-- the kind that typically serves some amazing food. The experience was mediocre at best. Despite the place being largely empty, the servers just weren't interested in doing much, so everything was slow and plodding. We had to ask multiple times for simple things, like the tortillas that were supposed to be served with our order of barbacoa. The food itself was okay. Everything on the menu was decent-- not great, but also not terrible. If the staff hadn't been completely slow and inattentive, I'd probably have given this a third star. read more

I chose this quaint downtown Mexican eatery for my bday lunch and it did not disappoint! I had the Camarones a la Diabla and it was super delicious and super spicy! This spot is super quaint and all the clientele were upscale. The chilé con queso was really good. I will be back! The service and atmosphere were very nice. Well done Fridas! read more

Food was good, but pretty pricey for the small portions you get. Service was slow, but we did go on a Sunday for lunch so it was busy which is fair. Manager didn't look like he could be bothered. He just stood in front of a computer and didn't help his staff. There are so many great Mexican restaurants, this is not one. I wouldn't come back. read more

Great lunch menu! Food was really good! Enjoyed lunch chimichanga and couldn't finish it! Mom had the enchiladas and enjoyed them! Liked the crispy chips and salsa was pretty good. Tea was great. Love the Frida art decor! Waitstaff was attentive and FAST!! Would definitely go back. Walking distance from the OMNI and Holiday Inn! read more

It has been a minute since I've been in the southwest and able to have some Mexican food. My coworker suggested we stop and grab a bite at this spot. The interior is very inviting with lots of Frida Kahlo art. It does not look like they have a bar so we had soda and water options. I went with the tacos Al carbon. It comes with a delicious cheese sauce over it. It was very tasty and reasonably priced for downtown. Our server was quick to take our order and get our food to us. A charming spot to have a bite to eat. read more

I stumbled upon this little restaurant in the down town area and have to say this place was very clean and well decorated. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I ordered a chicken fajita taco to give the place a try and the chicken was well seasoned and juicy. The complimentary chips and salsa was a great touch because the salsa itself was good and the right amount of spice. I used the chips for the fajita that fell from my taco. Cute place I'll be back ! read more

Another place the locals know about that takes a little effort to find if you are visiting. Authentic food, service and atmosphere with prices you would expect. You aren't going to find any poor Mexican food in this town. There is a reason why Taco Bueno and several other national chains didn't make it here: can't compete with the locals. read more

The service was bad she never came to check on us and she got my order wrong this is a down right horrible experience

Cute little place - food was good but not the best Mexican food I've ever had. Prices are on par for tourist part of town. The salsa was spicy and flavorful! We enjoyed for a last minute dinner read more

Looking for some delicious Mexican food? Stop here! Was at the Omni for a layover and wanted to grab a nice sit down lunch. Came into here around 11:30 and it was decently busy! Good signs I got the Mexican taquitos and it was everything, the meat cooked perfectly, homemade salsa & green salsa was also tasty. Servers were fast and on top of it! Never had an empty water cup and the prices are also good. Look forward to coming back. read more

Visied a friend at Selena statue and after yelpin the area thought this place sounded good. We walked there and were told to sit where we'd like..I think. Silly me had my prescription shades and forgot my regular lenses but I could tell the paintings were beautiful. I ordered the horchata as it was a hot sunny day and I appreciated it was in a to go container. I got the vegetarian enchiladas and wish I could say they were amazing but they felt hard and I just ate since I was so hungry. The rice was good though. Well maybe another time itll be good. read more

Our first time in Corpus Christi and if you're looking for some great food and customer service Fridas Restaurant is the absolute best place to eat. Ask for Clara she is the sweetest and most helpful. This is our favorite away from home place. The food and price is worth every penny! read more

I went the day the power was out and we lost a 26 year veteran from the power company...food was good my only thing was I parked on a paid meter to come out to a parking ticket...no one directing traffic but meter maids were working...smh so watch where you park when you visit this restaurant. One expensive lunch... read more

So eat here but you will get extra protein in your food. I ordered barbacoa so did other members of my party and a huge cooked up roach was in the food. I was trying to keep things discreet not to upset the rest of the group. They apologized and offered another meal but honestly why would I eat something else there? They ended up charging me the wrong ticket and said they would correct it but never did. Said they would call me the next day with corrections and again never did. So we paid for plates with roach parts.. Have been sick to my stomach every time I try to eat Barbados. Took the picture with the hopes it wasn't but it was read more

Fridas Mexican Restastaurant - Barbacoa skillet is beyond good! Literally the best in Corpus Christi! - Beverage Store Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Having spent significant time in south Texas over the years, I've come to think that the food, especially the Mexican food, in this region is some of the best in the world. I'm sorry to report that my food at Fridas fell way short of that expectation. I ordered the barbacoa breakfast plate. The good: - Service was friendly and prompt - Food came quickly - Coffee was good The medium: - The eggs tasted fine but were not cooked up to over medium as ordered. (Too soft). The bad: - barbacoa was very cold, full of fat, and oddly seasoned. - beans were not good flavor wise, not sure what they seasoned with but I didn't like it. Lukewarm. - potatoes were unseasoned, not crispy, and just sad. - Tortillas were flavorless and not hot. - Price wasn't too bad ($20), but I ended up going somewhere else to get food I would eat and that was much better tasting, larger portions, and it was $19. So I'm thinking this was overpriced for the quality. The vibe is good. Authentic South Texas Mexican restaurant vibe. Very simple. I took a few bites, paid, and left to go find another place to eat. 2.5 stars because they were friendly and prompt, the eggs were edible, and the coffee was good. read more

I loved this place! I ordered the Enchilada platter with 2 chicken and 1 beef, and the verde topping option. They delivered with a green and red hot sauce; both were amazing. If you like a little kick, the green sauce is the way to go! Very friendly staff and atmosphere. I will definitely refer work friends and visit here again when I am in town. read more

We were on vacation in the area when my kid found this Mexican restaurant -- what a gem! The food was incredibly authentic, even better than what we've had in Dallas. Honestly, it's one of the best Mexican meals I've had in the U.S. The portions were generous and every dish was full of flavor. The restaurant wasn't crowded, service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. The chips and salsa were delicious, and they even brought out two additional kinds of salsa with the meal. The dining area is cozy but nicely decorated. Since it's located downtown, parking is street-side and may take a little searching -- but it's absolutely worth it! read more
