I came here with two friends and ordered the carne asada with chilaquiles. The carne asada was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. A lot of places serve it a little too dry, but this was cooked perfectly and was easily the highlight of the meal. One of my friends comes here pretty often, and my other friend ordered the tacos. The portions were generous, and he said they were really good as well. The waitresses were also very friendly and welcoming. My only complaint was that the cups of water cost around $0.75. I wish they had mentioned that beforehand, although it may have been posted somewhere and I just missed it. Overall, the food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the service was great. I would definitely come back, especially for the carne asada. Highly recommended!

A chimichanga with meat cost $16 and some change but in order for me to get one with just veggies and no meat I would have to pay over $20 because they had an additional four dollar fee. I can't wrap my head around how I would be charged an additional four dollars just to throw some veggies in a flower tortilla and deep fry it like they would the meat. Once again I'm feeling like I'm being discriminated against because I don't eat meat. I went as far as to chat with the manager, and she justified the fact that they had to create something that was different off the menu because I didn't eat meat and that's why there was an up charge of four dollars again discrimination!!!!!!!! Needless to say, I had to settle for something that I didn't really want because my son had already ordered food and we were here and both of us were very hungry.

I've been to Frida's in Fayetteville enough times that I really don't even need to look at the menu…read moreanymore. I already know what I'm getting: the Fajita Quesadilla, Texas style. Now, every once in a while I'll switch it up and get the carne asada tacos or the birria tacos, and both are good. The carne asada has great flavor, and the birria is definitely worth trying if that's your thing. But let me be clear...nothing compares to that fajita quesadilla. Something about that combination of grilled meat, peppers, onions, cheese, and that big flour tortilla just WORKS. It's hot, cheesy, filling, packed with flavor, and one of those meals where I tell myself I'm only going to eat half and then suddenly there's considerably less left than I planned. Frida's actually has a pretty extensive menu, but I am a firm believer that once you find YOUR thing at a restaurant, you don't keep experimenting just for the sake of being adventurous. LOL. I found mine. So why only 4 stars? Because Frida's is usually packed, and when it gets busy, the service definitely declines. Things can slow down, attentiveness can drop off, and you can feel the difference. And the music? Whew. Sometimes it is EXTREMELY loud. I'm talking to the point where you have to practically scream across the table just to have a conversation with the people in your own party. If you're coming for a lively atmosphere, that may be your thing. If you actually want to talk over dinner, just know what you're walking into. Still, I keep coming back because that Fajita Quesadilla is THAT good. So yes, try the carne asada tacos. Try the birria tacos. Explore the menu if you must. Me? I'll be over here eating my Fajita Quesadilla. Again.

Now, why didn't anyone tell me about Frida's?…read more I came here for Cinco de Mayo, my favorite holiday in the entire world -- and they did not disappoint. I was a little nervous about the crowds, but my party slid in right before things got wild and got seated immediately. The service? Outstanding. I still don't know how the staff kept up, but our server never missed a beat. The music was a whole vibe, the DJ was on point, and the playlist kept the energy high all night. I ordered the Shrimp Bowl and WOW. I'd come back just for that. Usually, I need extra protein, but the standard portion here is no joke. You will not leave hungry. And the tableside guac? Hands down the best I've ever had, chunky, fresh, and those tomatoes and onions were everything. Now let's talk about the margaritas. Listennnnn. We had no idea how big a 32oz really was until it hit us. We thought we were going bar hopping afterward... absolutely not. I'd 100% come back. Thank you, Frida's, for such a great experience.

No explanation of how 1 swipe results in 5 different charges? A meal for $44.35 turned into $229.75 in total charges. After 5 days, they still had no answers, fix or resolutions - just more questions from the card processing company they use.
