Better late than never?…read more We celebrated Father's Day here...as Mexican is still my husband's fave food genre! Frankly, I can't remember the exact dishes we had...but I think my son just had Salad w/ Chicken, I had Flautas and a separate order for Rice, and I think my husband had Tostadas (??). For some reason, the service was SLOW. It took at least 30-40 minutes to get our foods. While not THE best Mexi in town, we enjoyed what we had. More than the foods, I personally like the black-on-black decor here...very chic! Overall, this is a festive, little place on the south side of Charlotte...and as much as my husband loves Mexican, we're sure to return!

Stopped into Frida's on a whim and WOW--what a find. Our group of six was seated right away, and…read morethe service was genuinely top-notch from start to finish. Pro tip: ask for the hot sauce caddy and don't skip the green sauce--it's incredible and honestly belongs on everything. I ordered a pork dish for lunch and was blown away by both the flavor and the portion size (come hungry!). The vibe is just as good as the food--beautiful Frida-inspired artwork throughout and plenty of fun, picture-perfect spots if you're in the mood for a selfie. Great food, amazing service, and a really cool atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

Came here with a friend after not being here for several years. Our waitress was nice but did not…read morelisten and gave me incorrect change when I paid. My friend is allergic to spices (I know, weird) so she ordered chicken without seasoning. Guess what, they put seasoning on it. I'm sure it is because the waitress did not understand her. The manager came over to clarify, and when he brought over the replacement, there was only 1/3 of the amount of meat originally given. I got the steak and shrimp fajitas ($22) with corn tortillas. There were 4 shrimp and the steak was pretty dry. This is obviously not a very authentic place, because there was no roasted onion or jalapeno on the plate. I dated a hispanic from Mexico so I know good Mexican food, and this isn't it. It's edible and that's about it. The salsa and chips were fine. The horchata I got was ok. I noticed that they drastically reduced the candy store area. It was only as big as a large closet and not many choices. That's a shame. This is what made this restaurant unique. This place is ok food at an ok price. See you in another 4 years (even though I live 1 mile away). Lol When I paid in cash, the waitress shorted me the change. It was only 33 cents, but that's not cool. I pointed out that I noticed and took it out of her tip.

Wow! I cannot believe I haven't been here sooner! This place was amazing! The service was so…read morefriendly, and she gave great recommendations on dishes. The complimentary chips and different salsas were delicious. The flautas were tasty and dressed well. The enchiladas were perfect and the sauce was just right. But the star of the show - the chimichanga!! This was the best chimichanga I have ever had. The pork and pineapple filling was incredible, I'm still thinking about it days later. The portion sizes are huge and the sides are delicious as well. The place had a decent crowd for a Monday! Everything came out so quick. There is a stage for music and a candy store as well. There's also some yummy desserts. I literally can't wait to go back!!

1st time customer. I sat in a comfortable booth and my server was there immediately. Friendly, able…read moreto answer questions easily. I could see 4 TVs with soccer, baseball, and track. I was solo so It's nice to have something watch besides your phone. The beer was cold, I had a draft, excellent pour. And the 3 sauces I got with chips were the best I've had in Charlotte. The salsa, delicious, the hot salsa, fire, delicious fire. And the tomatillos sauce, the best I've ever had. Servers wear elbow length oven mitts when they bring plates, cautioned me while putting it down. I'm used to that with fajitas but I had enchiladas and almost everything that I saw served while there came out hot. Impressive. My food was top notch and the portions large. My server checked on me quite often and brought anything I asked for immediately. One of the managers was circulating too, speaking to every table. Again, impressive. Great food, excellent server, very inexpensive for Ballantyne. I don't think you'll find better for less anywhere in Charlotte. I will be eating there again.

This is genuinely the greatest restaurant in my entire life. I have been going for like 3 years…read morenow, around once or twice a week. The servers are fantastic, the food is amazing, and the lunch specials are to die for. Their lunch menu is great and has great variety (even breakfast too). It's usually half full for lunch and it's always actual Mexicans eating there, so you know the food is authentic. For dinner the menu is also great and on weekends they usually have live music and the ambience is pretty nice. It's usually really packed on weekends and Fridays so get there early, but the wait is so worth it. P.S. here's my order recommendation, ask for the spicy salsa or salsa verde (they're free!!!) and for lunch get the Lunch Cheese Steak Burrito or the Lunch Burrito Mexicano; for dinner I usually get the Arroz con Pollo: Texas Style, but you can't really go wrong, just don't get any of the combos or numbered dishes.

The order was slow to come out and was incorrect, I'll live. It was the lack of follow up that got me. Never seen the ordered cheese dip or requested salsa. Did not see server any where. Other servers busy with their own stations. Wrong order, no ordered items delivered to table, and no service. I left. Why beg? Now, let's talk about Woodlawn. I drove down 77 to this location, after all I am still hungry. Warmly greeted and promptly seated. My server was FANTASTIC. Night and day difference in food and service. Order delivered correctly and promptly. He approached my table several times to insure all was good. The difference between to two stores has made me quit forever the Northlake location. WOODLAWN is the place!

Prices are extremely reasonable especially for the economy. Service is wonderful, chips and salsa were refilled promptly, drinks were tended to, and all with laughs and banter throughout. I got a steak quesadilla, my boyfriend got an enchilada plate. I wanted to try one of their specials but I was craving an easy meal all day! Everything came out fast, hot, and fresh. My spicy margarita had the perfect kick, and his giant mug of beer was ice cold. The restaurant is far bigger than it appears outside. I worried we would have to wait for a table, but they have a great set up. Music was great, plenty of TVs if your boyfriend (or you) wants to watch the game. Can't wait to come back!

While the margaritas still tasted of no tequila, this time they also were so tart as to be undrinkable. In fact, my SO and I each had one ... one frozen and one traditional ... and neither of us finished our drink. So, one big strike. My ground beef quesedilla was 3 star fine, but my wife's taco salad was a 1 star bust. She ordered her salad with 1,000 Island dressing ... and when the waiter brought our food he just plopped her salad in front of her and said we are out of 1,000 Island, and the only other thing we have is Ranch, which she didn't have a taste for. Now, you'd think the server would have come by before serving us anything to give us a chance to order something else ... but no. Here's your salad and we only have one dressing, so you have to eat it dry if that doesn't suit you. Big fail, and strike two. On other fronts, the little dollop of quac that came on the quesedilla had something awfully hot in it, so we left it ... but the chips and salsa were very good ... the hit of the night. We don't know if the kitchen was just off or we had a nonchalant waiter ... but with all the other Mexican Restaurants around, I don't think we'll be back to this particular Don Pedro.
