You can find it situated in the parking lot of the plaza at the intersection of Montlieu and Lexington/Greensboro most days (Sundays are the exception). The very succinct menu consists of three flavors of tacos, three flavors of tortas, and four flavors of agua fresca. Tacos run $2 apiece and are authentic-style, served up with onions, cilantro, lime, cucumber, and a spicy green salsa. The "chili pork" are pastor, and while you can find better in the area, Julio's version is still fairly flavorful. You also can't go wrong with the "sausage," which are chorizo. The proprietor (presumably Julio) is always polite, and he turns around orders very quickly. The next time a taco craving hits, don't sleep on Tacos Julio.

The soaps are always very fresh and flavorful as they are made to order. The service was very friendly both times. The prices are also extremely reasonable.

Happy eating!

It's a free standing building with a menu on the outside. There are drive through windows on each side of the building. Food: I got the grilled asada tacos 3/$8. The salsa was great: green is mild enough for kids and the red is hot enough for me. The pepper that came with it was fire and made me glad I ordered the Horchata. Minus one star because the meat could be seasoned a little better. Almost had a boiled taste to it. I'll definitely back and try the pastor tacos.

Hands down a great place for a quick bite! Came here on a Monday when nothing else was open and…read moredecided to try it. I ordered a salad with grilled chicken. It was delicious and not too salty as the usual tex mex places. Your meal also comes with a side of chips and salsa. The chips are perfectly fried and not greasy. They also have the right amount of salt. All of the ingredients are fresh. One of the things I like most, is that they have four different types of pico de gallo. One mixed with mango, another with pineapple, cucumber, and then regular. I've only tried the mango and I loved it! My husband got the quesabirria! By far authentic birria. So good! We have actually been there twice before I decided to review it. The second time I got the California burrito, which is huge but tasty. The service is impeccable and the restaurant itself is very clean, including the bathrooms. We will definitely be back for more! Highly recommended!

I do love a good burrito, so when I was in the area I decided to try the California Burrito here…read more It is big, but it is also costly at almost $14. This is an interesting dish, one that originated in San Diego in the 1980's, and soon spread across the country. It is quite different from the burrito that originated in Northern Mexico, especially around the city of Chihuahua before 1900. The dish started with the carne asada burrito and added cheese, guacamole, sour cream, pico, and even seasoned French fries. I found this burrito interesting but it is not one I'd order again, entirely too busy for me, and the texture is all over the place. I did like the restaurant overall, and will return at some point to try some of their other offerings.

The menu is not especially broad, about what you'd expect with this type of spot! I ordered the Pozole Rojo and 2 Chorizo Tacos. My order was quickly done, no more than 10 minutes. The tacos were not topped when I got them, the meat was in warm tortillas and the chopped onion, lime, and cilantro were in a separate area. I applied the toppings, added lime juice and some of several salsas completed the item. These are good tacos and there is plenty of chorizo in them. I would order tacos here again if in the area, but it is not a destination spot. The Pozole Rojo was not really good. It was greasy, under seasoned, and had a bitter after taste. Definitely not a reorder item. Ambiance - 2 Food - 3 Service - 4 Value - 3 ( applied to tacos only)

The tacos, 2 Chorizo & 2 Campechano (4 for $8.99)were more than a little disappointing - both meats were over cooked and dry; the Campechano was a strange mixture and lacked the traditional Chicharrones and the beef, whatever cut it was, was anything but tender and flavorful. The Milanese de Pollo ($11.99) was rather nice ( though there is little in the cutlet that shouts Mexican) but if what I received was 1/2 chicken, it was indeed a very small bird. And the side of beans was all liquid, not a single bean to be found. Would not return here, especially with Tacos Casa Miguel just a bit up the road! Ambiance - 2 Food -2 Service - 4 Value - 2

The portions are decent, the prices are very very good especially considering the economy right now, and the table manners and service has been absolutely phenomenal... even on their busiest days numerous people came by to check up on us and make sure that we didn't need any extra refills, sauces, napkins, etc. That, to me is the hallmark of a place that values its customers and places its attention on the service it provides. We've loved this place so much, we frequently order to go in addition to our sit down meals so that we can have more over the next few days! It's that good. Highly, highly recommend Frida's.
