    I really wanted to love this place because it's less than 5 min away from my house, but unfortunately, I am disappointed. I came here around lunch time for some takeout and decided to try the Maria's Sampler which came with a bunch of different stuff so I could try most of it. The sampler comes with 3 flautas, 1 cheese quesadilla, 3 beef sopes, 6 wings and cheese & salsa dip for $15.99. It seemed like a great deal and lots of food which in fact, it was. Unfortunately, they messed up my order. Although it said on the menu the sampler came with 6 wings, they forgot about it so I had to come back for them. When I was finally home with everything I was supposed to get the food was already cold, but I don't it would've tasted any better if it was just made. Everything was bland, and soggy. Service was okay. I got my order fixed quick and the lady I talked to was nice. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back to Maria's. ESPAÑOL Tenía muchas ganas de que me gustara este lugar porque está a menos de 5 minutos de mi casa, pero desafortunadamente, me decepcionó. Vine aquí a la hora del almuerzo para comer algo para llevar y decidí probar el Maria's Sampler que venía con un montón de cosas diferentes para poder probar la mayor parte. La muestra viene con 3 flautas, 1 quesadilla de queso, 3 sopes de res, 6 alitas y queso y salsa por $ 15,99. Parecía una gran cantidad y mucha comida, que de hecho lo fue. Desafortunadamente, arruinaron mi pedido. Aunque decía en el menú que la muestra venía con 6 alas, se olvidaron de ella, así que tuve que volver por ellas. Cuando finalmente llegué a casa con todo lo que se suponía que debía conseguir, la comida ya estaba fría, pero no creo que hubiera sabido mejor si estuviera recién hecha. Todo estaba suave y empapado. El servicio estuvo bien. Arreglaron mi pedido rápido y la señora con la que hablé fue amable. Desafortunadamente, no volveré a María.

    Our server was really friendly - too friendly. I like when service is attentive, polite and prompt, but there is a point when they've lingered far too long, joining in on what should be your own personal meal/date/discussion. The meal was ALL appearances, little substance. A colorful and artfully-arranged salad that did not taste good at all. Dry, overdone salmon, giant, awkward pieces of jicama and mango, and hardly any greens. There were only a handful of other patrons when we went it, but it was painfully quiet and every little noise echoed and bounced around. Halfway through our meal thankfully somebody turned on some quiet music. There are far too many other Mexican restaurant options in the Dacula and Buford area, so I don't expect we'd return here.

    Excellent food. I went with the simplest dish for lunch, the Speedy Gonzalez. Add the salsa they give you and it was great! Just enough food. I think they should salt their chips, but they were good too. Decided to try the guacamole. Yum! Just the right amount of lime! And the mango margarita was excellent. Love the glass and the sugar on the rim. Will be trying this place for dinner soon.

    The food was delicious. We were referred by a neighbor. We ordered the fajitas for two. Half shrimp and half beef brisket. Very flavorful. They are the best I have had. Monday through Friday they have specials for 899 from 11 to 3pm.

    Ask for Jacky and tip in cash!  ;-)

    Went for the Purple Xperience lawn show at the community center across the street and stopped in for a bite while the opening band played. They were very busy and could not seat us straight away and post Covid staffing issues were revealed but Jacky more than made up for it with her excellent service, energetic positive attitude and this "split" salad (2 of them!) to more than make up for it! We will be back (and don't even live close! =)

    Awesome Mexican food. My favorite dish is Arroz con Pollo. It's a plate of Mexican rice with Chicken. It has cheese dip and avocado on top.

Frida's has a great outdoor dining space just as inside. Today they have decorated for Cinco De Mayo. The inside has the signature colored banners with wallpaper of beautiful flowers and portraits of Frida Kahlo all over. Ms. Elvia was an awesome waitress. She made sure everything was perfect. She was very attentive all while attending her other tables. We had the Nachos Mexicanos and the Frida's Guacamole. And when I say those 2 dishes was very flavorful. We usually leave with a togo box. But today we ate every bit of it. The nachos filled the plate and was loaded down. The guacamole hit every tastebud. With this one visit we are certain we will be back to try other menu items.

The service and staff have always been very friendly and welcoming, which is something we've appreciated. Unfortunately, after eating at Frida's the day after Christmas, we both became extremely ill. Beginning the following morning and continuing throughout the day, my wife and I have been vomiting nonstop and experiencing the exact same symptoms, including chills. We can't say for certain what caused it, but the common denominator is that the last meal we both shared was from Frida's. The timing and severity of the symptoms are very concerning, and if my wife's condition doesn't improve, we may need to go to the emergency room. This has been a really upsetting experience, especially given that we've trusted this restaurant in the past. The atmosphere is warm and typical for a mom and pop restaurant with no concerns to mention. We live less than 2 1/2 miles from Fridas and consider them as our go to Mexican restaurant. I'm sharing this not to attack the staff, who have always been kind, but to honestly report what happened and hopefully encourage extra attention to food safety and quality.

    Great food! Always served hot and fresh. It's usually really crowded and noisy here if you come…read moreduring lunch or dinner rush. So loud that you can hardly hear the server or the person sitting next to you. They have live bands sometimes on weekends and special events. Service is kind of lacking during slow times and have to ask for items several times as the server forgets you are there. But it's usually a good time here, just not a great place to come if you don't like noise. The play the music really loud most of the time. Today i ordered from the specialty menu and they didn't put green bell peppers in my carnitas even though it is listed on the menu as bell peppers and onion. Also the slice of cheese was a lot smaller than i anticipated ( see photo ). If i would have known beforehand they called a sliver of cheese a slice i would have asked for queso as it needed a bit of something. The flavor was lacking i believe and the missing bell pepper just threw the meal off to me. I didn't say anything but they wanted to charge 2.50 more if i wanted a small side of cheese so i just said never mind and dealt with what i had. I guess i know not to come here when it isn't busy anymore... i felt like they gave us the food and forgot about us, the server was nice but it's annoying to have to ask for things more than once when they are not busy. I wont be coming back here for a while. Today, we were the only customers here besides one other couple on the other side of the restaurant.

Friday night I sat at a table with 9 other friends for dinner/music. Our checks were all inflated at the end of the night with drinks never ordered/served. We paid, thinking each of us were paying for the majority of our table... but discovered we were ALL overcharged. ****One person in our party became very ill after merely 3 beers, at 6'2" and 225lbs, had to be carried out and reports feeling drugged!**** Luckily, friends were around to quickly detect sickness and drive him home. We asked to review security footage from the night before and gave account of our night to the manager on duty Saturday morning. His lack of concern indicates a dangerously apathetic level of commitment to the safety of his patrons and the integrity of his staff. Police report is being filed, charges WILL be disputed and we will not return to Del Rio. Many friends and neighbors have come forward and reported nearly identical experiences; and one can only imagine how much worse this could have been if someone much smaller and/or alone had been the victim. I've worked in a LOT of bars, restaurants and clubs in the Atlanta area, but Del Rio Management's reaction to this type of report is a first for me. Stay Safe: Avoid Del Rio.

Before, they had shallow bowls and smaller portions but they upgraded to a deeper/bigger bowl and bigger portion sizes. The only difference is it doesn't come with the free sweet potato chips anymore, but you can still get the chips for extra. But hey, I would definitely take bigger portions over a side chips any day. It's super easy to order here. Just pick your flavor profile, the base (greens, brown rice, or half and half), and protein. My favorite flavor is still the Chipotle Mango Avocado. I love the creamy chipotle sauce. And they give more of the avocado mixture now. It has black beans, red onion, corn, cheese in it. For proteins, I love the shrimp and tofu. The tofu is a great vegetarian option. This is my favorite location too. It's spacious (also has an outdoor dining area) and very clean. Food is great and feels very healthy compared to some other fast casual options.

I received the Black Friday coupon BOGO bowl or wrap. It really helps signing up for the rewards program or having the app. The dining space was clean and inviting. It was not crowded but there was a family eating dinner at the circle table and two other parties eating. We were definitely pleased this time around and will return.
