    The main dish was probably the best out of other requests. The ambiance was good, quiet until loud mouth Becky came in and sat at the bar on lunch break... Netherless, the server (bartender) wasn't the best. My friend ordered a strawberry margarita.and it was extremely sweet where the alcohol wasn't tasted....not saying it wasn't there, but the strawberry syrup overpowered the taste of alcohol....causing her to order another shot. She opted for organic because she didn't want the pre-made mix...server didn't "appear" to make that right either.... Again, she was very nice but was not comprehending everything. In case you're wondering....yes. sat at the bar but had water w/lemon The server was not good at tending to us... kind of sliw....had to request for her twice. The cheese dip did not originally have Jalapeños in it as requested...sent it back, and I'm sure you can see the difference in the pictures. She, Salma) says the Jalapeños are pureed. If so, it did not taste like it was...the 2nd one did. Again, sweet girl, but service needs to be better as it was not busy

    Great food, reasonable price. I ordered Texas fajitas, Hubby ordered mixed fajitas, they were both amazing! Portion is big. We also loved their mango margarita.

    If you're looking for the average Mexican restaurant, this isn't a bad spot! I've been here twice now for lunch, once by myself and another time with my fiance. I have no problems dining alone, especially at lunch. I was seated at a small booth hidden, which made hard for waitress to check on me. Chips and salsa were tasty but chips didn't taste as fresh. Ordered a small guacamole which was bland and just pureed. Ordered chicken rice soup, it was great but most ingredients were served on the side.

I had Mexican on the way down so I wasn't running in the mood for it tonight. But I could not find a place within about a 20 minute drive that had a great Yelp rating and was open on Monday night. There's plenty of stuff in the area, but a lot of it was suspiciously closed on Monday night. This place was just across the street from my hotel so I went in and I ordered chips and salsa to start, and then pork belly tacos. The chips and salsa were fantastic! Probably some of the best mild salsa I've ever had. The spicy salsa was tasty as well, but just a little bit beyond my heat range. I was very happy with the start to the meal, but once the pork belly tacos came out, I was in heaven. These are the best tacos I've ever had, and I've eaten a lots of tacos, and the best pork belly I've ever had. It was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. I ate it so fast that when it's finished, I thought a severe sense of disappointment that there wasn't more. The wait staff was great as well! The job I'm interviewing for is remote and I kind of hope I get it even more so that I can come down here and explore the rest of the menu.

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.

I usually opt for carnitas in some form, but I just had carnitas burritos last night so decided to change it up! The pollo ranchero (wherever you find it on a menu) always seems like it's going to be too simple, but I seem to always really enjoy it. Tonight was no different. The thin slices of grilled chicken breast are usually overcooked, but it's forgiven due to the ranchero sauce and cheese that blanket them, providing needed moisture. The rice and beans are pretty good but definitely benefitted from ranchero sauce spillover and a little drizzle of salsa. Portion size was great. Frida's is pretty similar to a lot of mid-range Mexican spots (although I like the inclusion of fried plantains on the menu) but I've never how a disappointing experience, so giving it a 4!
