Tacos, queso, and spicy Margs are my three main food groups so I knew I had to check Frida's out…read morefor my birthday. The inside is so cute and fun and our server was phenomenal! She answered all our questions and kept checking on us. We started off with the queso and I have to say it is now my favorite queso I've had in the Tristate area It's not your typical queso that comes out runny. Frida's queso comes out in a mini skillet and is thick reminding me of when we lived in El Paso and had authentic Mexican food. The chips were amaziiiing too I got a shrimp taco and fish taco as my main and loved the combo of Chimichurri and pineapple salsa on the shrimp one. The fish taco was loaded with aioli which was a bit much so I couldn't really taste the fish or other toppings. I will definitely be back to try more tacos and eat my weight in queso!

Thanks to Yelp for pointing me to this place I never would have found otherwise! This isn't a…read morestandard restaurant. It's a cute, well-stocked grocery store, and you place your order at the check-in counter just inside the door. Just a few options - which makes it easy! The staff were very nice, the prices were very reasonable, and my tacos were delicious! Authentic, so flavorful, and packed with toppings (no tiny sprinkle of cheese on top like you get at many places). And I didn't end up with heartburn - which is my general barometer of how "real" food is. I will be back. And will order the quesadillas next time!

A Hidden Gem!! The…read morepollo tacos are seasoned PERFECTLY!! The onions and cilantro are always fresh, and sauce options vibrant. I love that they are packaged in foil instead of styrofoam. I always complement my tacos with sides of beans and rice and they never fail.. at least the food doesn't. I wish they'd figure a way to properly package the beans so half of them don't end up in the bag. Either way, I HIGHLY recommend this place, but they only accept CASH so be prepared, and if you order the beans to go, put something under them for transport.

I'll definitely have to try more of the menus next time I'm there. My server Dom was extremely kind, Asked if I needed any thing, and overall did what any extent server should do. The atmosphere was incredible. I loved the art on the walls. Everyone seemed friendly. Sadly I was told that business has been down compared to what it normally is. I personally think the atmosphere would be even better if more people were there.

However, in general the tacos were not as good as it used to be. My order was also wrong so I had to send it back. Even the margaritas were no where near as strong as they used to be. I hate to see this establishment going down. Hopefully someone revives it soon!

The tacos were very filling and I was stuffed after having three. I also had a Mexican Coke and my husband tried a Guatemalan beer. It is a bit of a 'dive' and the bathroom could use a good cleaning. Also, the smell of sewage, likely from the improper draining of oil into the floor drains that happens in many small restaurants, was unpleasant. But the food was amazing!

What a great choice that ended up being! I love this kind of food and the menu was creative without being overwhelming. My brother and I each got three items from the Vegetarian pick-three menu and my nephew ordered from the kids' menu. Everyone was happy with their food, and the draft beers tasted excellent as well. Our server, Maya, was really helpful with the menus and checked in on us often. Her friendliness and fun conversation added to an already great time. Our stop into Covington Friday evening was a highlight of my trip to Kentucky. And I like that Agave allows dogs; there was a really cute beagle-and-husky at the table next ours.

Our party of four had the quesobirria tacos, the taco flight, the burrito, and quesadilla. We also ordered the corn fritters appetizer. My quesobirria tacos were awesome! The juice to dip was great. Hubby like the burrito but declared it was too much food, which is a first. His burrito appeasement levels are quite high. The taco flight was interesting. Our daughter was a bit thrown by the BBQ shrimp in the "bomb" taco but all in all, she loved her food. Quesadilla was your typical one but he felt it was a tad bit spicy. The ambiance was fun! Music was a mix of genres, which served well. The staff was attentive. We have one person allergic to mushrooms and the kitchen was very clear and asked clarifying questions. Totally appreciated! I'm glad we found this place!

We loved the slow cooked corn and classic Cuban so much that I told him we are going to pay him a visit very soon. Here we are 4 days later. They are located at the Covington Yard. There are two other food vendors on the property. We ordered: -Classic Cuban (8") -3 Tacos Caribbean style w/ chicken -Large order of tots We got our meals less than 15 minutes. Wow! The Cuban sandwich is everything I've expected it to be! Super delish! You don't need hot sauce in my opinion, it's packed with great flavor. Btw, they have mass hot sauces to choose from. We tried 3 different kinds for our tots. My Mr really enjoyed his tacos. The seasoned tots were so good! Not greasy and tasted great with their signature sauce (tasted like a yum yum sauce). All hit the spot!!!! What a great experience and I can't wait to come back again and try other items on the menu, but my fave is hands down their Cuban sandwich!
