My girlfriend and I travel 4 hours to Brooklyn every few months for her to get tattooed. While I'm waiting, this place is always my first stop. Great drinks, amazing service, and honestly - the best tacos I've ever had in my LIFE. Everyone there is friendly, and the service is remarkably fast. Great atmosphere, and a ton of great artwork to look at. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. read more

The happy hour was pretty good here, but you're definitely paying Brooklyn prices at this spot. The tacos were small and but they were okay. The Greenpoint fries were also hitting the average mark for me. I was a big fan of the elote, but everything else was pretty standard. It's was alright overall. I'd come back if a group of friends were looking for a place to eat in Greenpoint. The bathroom is accessible here! read more

From the outside I didn't know this was Friducha. It only says it on the window if you look closely, and I didn't see the sign anywhere else. Once walking inside it wasn't crowded. I'm not sure if you need reservations, but there's plenty of walk-in seating. This place isn't fancy and very casual. They have a lot of murals or paintings of Frida Kahlo on the walls in different outfits. I couldn't decide what to eat as everything sounded so good on the menu. It was all very affordable too. For the table, we got the grilled corn on the cob, the guacamole mocajete (which they make in front of you), mar y tierra platter (shrimp & skirt steak combo with beans and rice), and churros with vanilla ice cream. I really enjoyed the platter and the guacamole with medium spice was just right. It was very filling. read more

This spot was a letdown. I had read online that the had frozen margaritas, but they didn't. The chips were under-salted, the service wasn't great, and my burrito was overpriced. Disappointing. read more

I came here for a group birthday dinner. It's a relatively affordable option for authentic Mexican food. The decor is bright and inviting. To drink, we got a pitcher of margaritas. It was enough for 5 of us to have a glass and a couple people to have seconds. We shared chips and salsa. The salsa was a bit watery and not very flavorful. I liked the thickness of their chips. For my main, I got the veggie tacos with nopal. An order came with three tacos. Each taco was served with two corn tortillas so they held all the ingredients well. The dish came with a mild salsa, which was tasty. I asked for hot sauce as well. It was super spicy and topped off the dish nicely. They gave a free shot to my friend who was celebrating her birthday. Overall, it's a good option in the area. read more

We arrived at a pretty slow hour and were seated instantly. They had great music playing and it was really clean. We got a plate to share and an appetizer. The fajitas came in sizzling! I have gotten fajitas at other places and I was let down because they don't have the sizzling plate. I know it doesn't add anything but it was the experience. The plate was well served and it came with four tortillas perfect for my sister and I to share. The nachos were delicious. The corn was charred so it added that extra flavor. We did have to ask for salsa to add to our tacos but overall our experience was GREAT! Our waiter and server were really nice too. I'll definitely come back. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite before my visit to Transmitter Park. I was in the mood for a spicy brunch to get the Sunday vibe kicking. I searched Yelp to locate a Mexican restaurant that was close to the park and as fast as you can snap castanets and say Frida Kahlo three times, Friducha popped up. Friducha really pays homage to Frida by way of interesting murals painted on the walls and there is a picture of her from the Philadelphia Art Museum. Thus, at first glance, I think authenticity. I was in the mood for Brunch, which is served until 2pm. I reviewed the Specials which included numerous egg options but decided on the Chicken Tinga Tacos and chips and salsa to start. Then a Horchata,which I find very refreshing, to soothe the spicy palate. The chips and salsa came out rather quickly.. which I spotted the waiter taking them out from a cooler. I don't know about your chips and salsa preference but I like my chips a bit caliente not cold. So, that was a bit disappointing because it leads me to believe the chips are store bought? Hmmm.. the salsa was just okay, a bit watery. I prefer Salsa that is chunky and has a kick to it. The tacos and Horchata arrived immediately after. The Horchata was sweet and refreshing with a bit of cinnamon that enhanced the flavor. The Chicken Tinga Taco plate consisted of three delicious chicken tacos adorned with well seasoned chicken, cilantro and a really vibrant chipotle sauce and.... a side of peppers and onions that require a fire extinguisher. Well is this Frida Kahlo worthy authentic Mexican cuisine? It's a 50-50 verdict.. The service is friendly and accommodating, the menu is extensive, location is convenient to Metro and park and the ambience is low energy which explains the three stars (sorry, the chips and salsa put a damper on it) I'm on the fence if there will be a return visit. Yo siento Ferida. Transportation: take Court Square G train to Greenpoint stop and use India Street exit, 2 minute walk. read more

For a sit down Mexican restaurant it's not bad. Free chips and salsa and a full bar. No lunch specials but the burritos are big and smothered. I love the red sauce on the shrimp burrito (el picoso), I get it every time I'm in the neighborhood. I think they opened just before the covid lockdown so I think the neighborhood should give them a shot for a bit cause there's been some notoriously terrible sit down Mexican spots at this price point. Frida decor everywhere, I'm down. It's bright, corner location, so ambience wise during a gorgeous day it's not a bad way to have a drink and some free chips and salsa (so far in my experience I've always gotten these replenished for free). read more

What a gem of a spot we stumbled upon on a Friday nite. The place is small but spacious as there are a few tables , a bar, and a common table in the middle to sit at. The staff is friendly and the service was impressive. The menu is on a qrcode and they have a great selection of food, from appetizers to nachos, burritos and tacos. We opted for the nachos with shredded chicken which were super flavorful and the Al Pastor Tacos which came with a generous amount of meat perfectly cooked and flavorful. Let me just say these tacos are amazing!!! and a must try . All in all our experience here was perfect , and we can't wait to come back and try more of the items on the menu! read more

These carnitas tacos were everything I wanted them to be!! Factor in the cuteness of the restaurant, and if anyone asks me my favorite taco place in northern Brooklyn, the answer's easy. Definitely will be trying to take everyone I know here! It is usually difficult to find tacos that compare to those with which I was accustomed when I lived in California, but Friducha's are top tier. read more

As a New Yorker, I have not been spoiled for choice when it comes to *good* Mexican food, with an emphasis on good. I eye most Mexican meals with some level of trepidation lest my taste buds be let down. The menu at Friducha looked quite promising, with tacos, burritos, salads, fajitas, and even burgers galore. What I appreciated about this menu over those at other Mexican restaurants were the array of protein options, including skirt steak, carnitas, ground beef, shredded chicken, and shrimp. Vegetarians would have plenty to choose from as well, so I left with my to go order feeling optimistic. Both the fish taco and shrimp taco were flavorful and generous with the protein, which was both fresh and well prepared. I also enjoyed a picadita salad, with chopped kale, nopal, corn, tortilla chips and cotija cheese. I appreciated that the salad had plenty of crunch and texture to make it more interesting. While I was there I also enjoyed a couple of cocktails, including a cucumber margarita and a watermelon spicy tequila cocktail. Both were wonderful and sent me away with a nice buzz. I wouldn't mind returning, especially for brunch in their cute outdoor, covered dining area. read more

Ordered a burrito for takeout but beware the lunch special is not an option online. I would recommend calling in or going in person to order. The lunch special is $12 with choice of entree and a bottle of water or $15 with a margarita. I got the Brooklyn burrito with shredded chicken, but I was disappointed. The chicken was so dry and there was not much flavor. I tried to use the green sauce to compensate but it was a little too spicy for me. However, what saved the meal was the shrimp taco. They actually use jumbo shrimp and I did enjoy this. read more

Do Not Use Their Online Ordering System. The restaurant has their own online ordering system, but doesn't actually use it. So, if you're dumb enough to order through there, like we have twice (over the span of 6 months), you won't get food unless you call to tell them to check their own system. The food finally arrived 1h50 after ordering (and calling) - it's so much worse than it was years ago for both my wife and my order. She usually gets a poached egg over her meal for eggy sauce goodness - it came scrambled. My burrito, the chicken was overdone and sauce bland. Between dining in and delivery it's been 25+ times - no more. This was so terrible and sad that I came out of my yelp retirement to review. Sorry, but basic customer service and actually using your own systems that you promote on your social platforms . . . It's just not now you run a business. read more

A solid Friday date night option! Indoor and outdoor dining available. Proof of Covid-19 vaccination required for indoor. Waiter checked our Excelsior passes prior to seating. QR code taped to the corners of the dining tables for mobile view of their food and drinks menu. Take out available as well. Right off the rip, staff was POLITE and ATTENTIVE! As soon as you walk in, very nice ambience. Off to the right is a small bar which looked to be fully stocked for the weekend; accompanied by a few stools. We got there just before the dinner rush. For starters, me and my partner got fresh chips and salsa. We ordered "Greenpoint fries" with grilled chicken. Warm deliciousness! Generous cheese, not too greasy. Grilled chicken was almost minced, and not diced like we thought it would be. They kind of held back on the pico. I asked our waiter for an extra side of onions and cilantro (personal choice) Barbacoa tacos were very juicy and packed with flavor. The side of green sauce is a good amount of heat to get a sweat going. (Luckily it was too hot for my partner, so more for me, hehehe) Same for the carnitas tacos we ordered. Not dry at all. All tacos served in double shells in case the fillings fall off in the first round you can make more! Lastly, for dessert we shared one order of Mexican churros. Fair warning, it is REALLY sugar coated. Looked delicious on the menu - looked consistent with the picture when served to our table! Stacked like jenga and drizzled with caramel. These 4 pieces were just the right amount of crunch and a oozy center. Don't burn your tongue Would definitely come back to try other things on the menu read more

Came in here on a slow Friday night and sat at the bar and I had a blast, the bartender was super sweet, her drinks were deliciously made. The guac and chips are super tasty, as well as the steak and shrimp. The desserts were good, I loved the vibe. I was here sitting at the bar probably for hours just drinking and talking to the bartender and it wasn't super overpriced. Loved it. read more

After we cut short a disappointing dinner at a "popular" nearby Mexican restaurant, we stumbled across this place in the hopes that we could find something satisfactory. It was beyond our expectations, we ordered chicken tacos, Al pastor tacos & churros. Everything was fantastic and had wonderful flavor, some of the best Al pastor tacos I've ever had. I def plan on making this my new go to taco spot. read more

Absolutely delicious!! It was the most satisfying Mexican meal I've had in a long time. They have both indoor and outdoor dining with proper social distancing and appropriate Covid measures. They have brunch until 3PM, but we arrived a bit past it so we didn't get to try that. They provide complimentary chips and salsa, and it was one of the most amazing in-house chips I've had! All of the entrees we ordered just hit the spot (even the guilt salad). The staff were very kind and street parking wasn't too hard to find! read more

This little cozy place was a random find and it was definitely a jewel. We started with guac and chips - very authentic - the kind of place that makes it right in front of you. We ordered the chicken tacos and the chicken platter with rice and beans. The chicken was so flavorful. The tacos were made as authentic as possible, corn tortillas and pickled onions on the side. Only complaint was a portion of the chicken on the chicken platter was chewy and my gf didn't finish it. My blackberry margarita was perfect - you can taste the alcohol but it didn't take away from the actual flavor of the cocktail. DELICIOIS read more

This little place is great! We went here for dinner on our last night in NYC. The food was good. We got nachos to start which were perfect sized for 2 and delicious. Then my mom got fajitas which were outstanding and I got the steak and enchilada which was good but not as good as the fajitas. The only problem for us was there is not a clear sign out front of the restaurant so we had a little trouble finding it. read more

Made our way over here on a Saturday afternoon for brunch. Was hit with a fifteen minute wait for an outdoor table for two, which wasn't too bad considering the time of day. Servers here are quick as they brought waters out immediately (even for the dog) as well as free chips & salsa. Between two people, split the Nachos w/Corn ($14), Veggie Tacos w/Spinach ($11), and a couple margaritas ($10 traditional, $11 flavored). Nachos are a heaping pile of tortilla chips, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, and corn. Probably could have done without the corn, as it took away from the nice salsa and guacamole. Some jalapenos would have helped as well. Tacos are three to an order, double wrapped soft tortillas surrounding the spinach, tomatoes, cilantro, and onions. The spinach is oddly drenched in oil, which soaked through both tortillas. The side sauce and lemon helped, but it was hard to finish. Service here is solid as we didn't wait long for anything. Next time might just stick to drinks or try the burritos instead. read more

I live near 4 authentic mexican places where they can barely take your order in english so im basing food quality off of that. Honest opinion, sauce on spicy shrimp quesadilla is dope, crazy cheesy (not mexican white cheese) but the yellow one too. The shrimp tasted like they were thawed out and cooked too fast. The enchiladas again lots of cheese which normally im like yasssss but if you have good core ingredients you dont actually want it to drown out the experience. The steak was not the fancy skirt steak i envisioned just basic steak chunks that were at times hard to cut. The chorizo crumbles were as expected. The portion of pico de gallo, sour cream and guac in top of the rice and beans was minimal. The guac was not fresh and was a bit mush/runny. I wouldnt go out of my way to come back here. My friend and i dont drink alcohol so maybe people think this is some amazing drunk food with margaritas. Service was great. Horchata was delicious. Small soda bottles and small glasses were annoying. Regular softdrinks and water glasses were not enough to go with large portion entree size. read more

Came here for some tacos (still hunting for my staple taco spot!) Got the birria tacos because, well, this is the only choice for me if it's available on the menu since discovering them around a year ago. The tacos were good, not the best I've had, I'd say they ranked number 3/4 out of the 6 birria places I've tried. 4 stars there. The reason I had to take a star off is because they don't let you mix up the tacos? I mean, anytime you have to just get multiple of one kind of taco at a place and can't sample the flavors that's an automatic bump down for me. You should always be able to mix up finger foods to some degree. read more

What a great find! I was in the mood for Mexican food and this place hit the spot. From the moment my buddy and I walked on the door we were greeted by the bartender Natalie with a smile that lit up the whole restaurant. She made us feel so welcome that we decided to sit at the bar and have our dinner. We started with some guacamole that was completely on point. Hey, get it spicy, you can handle it. The guac was served with homemade chips and a fantastic salsa. Natalie served us up some amazing margaritas with the house tequila and we were set. We asked for some suggestions on the menu and my friend and I shared the chicken fajitas and the steak and shrimp quesadilla. The quesadilla was delicious and definitely our favorite. Everything just hit right at this place and we can't wait to go back. Might be my new favorite spot. read more

Great service, friendly staff. They accommodated our group of 4 last minute without a reservation even though it was a packed house. Cute place, a homage to Frida Kahlo. We all ordered drinks and started with the guacamole molcajete, which was good but a small serving size. For food we tried vegetarian, al pastor, and birria tacos, as well as the mar y tierra platter. Everyone was happy with their food and found it filling. Overall satisfactory dishes but nothing really stood out. Seems like a great place to gather with friends in Greenpoint. read more

I came here since I'd heard good things about it and wanted to support a local business. I came in for a late lunch and it wasn't crowded, which was nice as I had my choice of tables. They have an extensive menu to choose from and I went with the Mexican Flag Burrito (vegetarian style) and it was pretty good. The service was good and the food came out very quickly. It wasn't the best Mexican food I've ever had, but was decent and I'd come back again. read more

So I went for the first time today and this place defffinitely is, GOOD! I felt like I could actually taste the homemade-ness. There were slight complaints which had very simple fixes. Such as the spicy guac not being spicy; I just added some chopped jalapeños and cracked black pepper. The al pastor option for the burrito was super underwhelming. Not good at all, but I had some of my friend's steak and HOLY HELL! It was great. So I'd skip the al pastor and stick to the basics of chicken and steak. Definitely coming back and I think I wanna check out that brunch menu. read more

Nice ambiance and not too expensive. The beef birria tacos were extremely bland and the tortilla wasn't cooked. I had to add extra lime and salt to make it taste okay. I asked if it came with cheese and my server said "Yes", but then charged me extra for cheese... that was annoying. I wouldn't have gotten it if I had to pay extra. Plus the food took like 30-40 minutes to come and the place wasn't busy AT ALL. So that was disappointing. Overall, nice workers, nice vibe, food could be better and I wish they would communicate whether customers will have to pay extra for things. read more

Immediately upon walking into this restaurant the vibes were off. It was pretty empty inside and despite being one of two tables, we weren't greeted by the host and awkwardly stood in the entryway waiting for someone to acknowledge our presence. Chips and queso was a joke. No flavor and quite stringy. Pretty sure it's a strange combination of mozzarella and cheddar, which is unpleasant at best. We also received our queso without any chips so it sat, hardening, for a solid 5 minutes before we could actually eat it. Once the chips and salsa arrived, we were served another disappointment. Unfortunately the chips were very greasy and the salsa had a sweetness that was very unpleasant. Minimal taste other than sweet. Would definitely have benefited from some heat. The table next to us was seated 10 minutes after we arrived and received their main courses before us, despite ordering well after our order was in. Our food arrived and the portions were hearty. One of our party ordered the vegetable fajitas. It was cooked and seasoned well, just simply way too much food for one person to eat and not necessarily something that would be good reheated. The rice was bland, but standard. The other person in our party ordered chicken tinga tacos. The chicken was over cooked, the green salsa was a bit redeeming. Price was okay. $35 between the two of us with no drinks. If you're looking for a memorable meal, I'd suggest going somewhere else. But if you're in a pinch - it'll do. 2.5/5 would not return again. read more
