    Chicken quesadilla which looked better than it tastes
    Jeffrey R.

    Nice people. Friendly staff. Place was clean. I'm not going to lie. The quesadilla tasted very bland, the adobe chicken was ok, not great. The entire dish lacked flavor. I don't have much to law to say, this place had more positive reviews than almost anything else in the area. That doesn't say much.

    Tofu nachos
    Nicole D.

    I don't care who, where, when, why... I'm a Willy's girl. Always have been. Some locations are mid-tier, but when they get their seasoning right, their tofu nachos are the best thing to share with a friend. I like to add pretty much everything and touch it off with freshly squeezed lime. At this point, I've lost count of how many times I've been throughout the years, but it's quick, cheap, and the portion sizes are amazing. Love me some Willy's nachos!

    I'm glad I gave this spot a chance finally. The food was really good. I tried their new Willy Philly which was exceptional and the fact that you can add your own ingredients makes it so much better. The only thing I can't understand is why all of these Mexican places are making the watery queso and not the thick queso they used to make. The queso wasn't too thin but if you were to pour it on something, it would come out really quick and not slow. Other than that, the food was really enjoyable.

    Steak bowl, double steak.

    I've eaten here a hundred times atleast. Way better and fresher than chipotle or moe's, truly a wuality controlled operation. The quality of the meat and cheese are A1 Great staff. They could easily the the Chic Fila of Mexican.

    I decided to try this location after having Willy's catered to my old job a few years back and remembering how good it was. Stopped by after class on a Monday around 3 pm. No one in line and only a few people eating inside, not busy at all. I got the bowl option with Adobe chicken, rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, pico, black olives, cilantro, & sour cream. The bowl didn't look like a good portion size at first but it was a lot more food than what it looks like! Everything was fresh and tasty, definitely stepped up from moes and chipotle. Price was around $8 I think it was worth the price. The interior is clean and modern with plenty of seating. Parking lot has plenty of open parking spaces.

    In the Burrito bowl hierarchy, Willy's always was pretty low on my list. So much so that the last time I visited a Willy's was about 10 years ago! So when this new Willy's location popped up, I thought i'd give them another shot. I ordered myself their Adobo chicken bowl ($6.95) and added several of their toppings that ranged from corn salsa, to red sliced pepper, to pico to guac (only topping that is NOT free), All burritos or bowls get free chips, though I got very few. Seems like Moe's gives a lot more. A salsa bar sits next to the drink station and has four types of dips at any one time, ranging from mild to mouth watering hot. Their flavors were still exactly the same. Willy's has a more watered down flavor/taste to me, and it seemed as if everything needed a little salt to it which I decided to not add. The chicken was tender, not chewy and was cooked well, but flavors just weren't there for me. Located in the new restaurant strip off of duluth highway, next door to the likes of Burger Fi or Jason's Deli, parking is very much a premium here for lunch, and you may have to hunt to find a spot. Exiting out onto Duluth highway can be tough depending on where traffic is, because this area is typically congested. End of the day, if you love Willy's flavors and haven't been in a while, you're in luck with this location. If you're like me, and aren't really a fan of those flavors, you're ALSO in luck, because there's literally a Moe's next door, and a Chipotle across the street to cover your burrito fix if Willy's cant. All the same, this is a great addition to the area, because options are always great!

    2 ground beef tacos, chips, cheese dip, guacamole, chipotle medium salsa and habanero medium salsa.

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.

The space itself is swanky in a relaxed way, cute, well decorated, and open and inviting without trying too hard. From the moment I walked in, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and somehow already knew exactly where my to go order was, which felt like a small but impressive win. The restaurant was spotless and the parking lot deserves its own shout out. It was a decent size and easily handled my honkin big truck without any awkward maneuvering or silent prayers. That alone earns points. Now let us talk about the food, because wow. Everything was made exactly how I ordered it and tasted incredible. I went with three tacos and each one brought something different to the party. The daily special curry chicken taco was bold and flavorful in the best way. The OG with grilled chicken was classic and perfectly executed. The steak and queso was rich, savory, and downright dangerous in how fast it disappeared. The flavor profiles were spot on across the board and each taco held its own. Ordering online was quick and painless, which made the whole experience even smoother. Between the great food, friendly staff, clean space, and easy ordering, Strange Taco Bar absolutely nailed it. I will definitely go back and will continue to regret not trying them sooner.
