i went here last tuesday with my coworkers in true taco tuesday, happy hour fashion. it was close to where we work and the parking was pretty good. this is honestly a deal breaker for me bc i will drive home if i cannot find a spot. the drinks were GREAT and strong. the table got a variety of drinks from coconut to mango & even passionfruit. the food was also really good. i will say the only happy hour meal deal are the chips & guac + fried salami if im not mistaken. for my meal i got the al pastor tacos. they were very flavorful and filling. 9/10 would recommend. you should def pay this place a visit. come hungry & perhaps have dd or take the train lol. read more

Frida - Chicken Al Pastor Tacos 3 - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Frida is cute, fun and has that effortless energy. Inside, exposed brick walls, bold Frida Kahlo artwork and warm wooden tables give it this really cool laid-back but lively feel. The Bola de Yuca were golden crispy filled with the most satisfying melted cheese inside, served with two dipping sauces & The Shrimp Tacos were fresh and flavorful, topped with pico and a creamy sauce that tied everything together nicely. The Lychee Margarita was flavorful and not overly sweet. read more

Came here with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. We liked the ambiance and the decor in the restaurant. It was very unique. There aren't many restaurants like this one on this side of Brooklyn. We enjoyed the happy hour specials. We each got a drink and the fried cheese, salami and tostones. My husband got the taco entree which meant rice and beans came with the tacos for an additional $3. The waitress asked if he wanted cheese and he said yes then was charged an additional $3 for the cheese. I asked if it was $1 for cheese per taco and the answer was yes. The wording on the menu isn't clear because it said add cheese for $1 or $3 for the entree. I had a chimi and enjoyed every bite! Heads up - they do charge a credit card fee. Overall we enjoyed our anniversary dinner and experience trying out this new restaurant. read more

A quick little bite to eat that turned to be a pleasant surprise. I heard a few things about things spot so I got here early to ensure I would have a comfortable time and seat. Service was okay. There were only 2 servers however it took a significant amount of time to get her attention when we needed (order more drinks etc). Order to table timing was pretty good but i had to wait several minutes at a time before my self or table could order additional drinks, food, etc. I love that they have SOOO MANY options to pick. From tacos to drinks I was impressed. I ordered the fish tacos which came out fried. I wasn't mad at that but the fish wasn't all that flavorful. It tasted pretty bland almost like a piece of frozen fish. My friend let me try her shrimp tacos which came and MAN I wish i would have ordered that instead because that shrimp was not only fresh and DELICIOUS. I was so tempted to return my plate back that's how good that shrimp was. My biggest recommendation would be to get here a bit early or call to reserve as they packed pretty quickly. Other than that would definitely put this on my local go to list. read more

Frida - Fish Tacos 3 - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Frida's is undeniably cute. The ambiance is there, the aesthetic is there, and I'll give credit where credit is due...THE DRINKS were the best part of the entire experience. The sangria? Una vaina bien hecha. Whoever was behind that bar knew exactly what they were doing because every drink was beautiful, well-made, and honestly the only reason I'd even consider coming back. Unfortunately, the service and food experience were a completely different story. Right off the bat, all three of our water glasses came out dirty and had to be replaced that's not exactly a great start. Now, I do want to acknowledge that our waiter was on his first day because I understand everyone has to start somewhere. Pero una cosa es estar aprendiendo y otra cosa es andar totalmente perdido y sin hacerse cargo. There were multiple mistakes throughout the night, and what made it worse wasn't just the mistakes themselves it was the lack of urgency, accountability, or genuine sympathy when those mistakes affected our table. Another server honestly seemed to be stepping in and apologizing more than he was, and I want to give her credit because she was clearly trying to manage both her own tables and his. I know what that kind of pressure feels like, and she was the only person who showed any real sympathy. Where things really went left was with the food. One of my friends ordered a taco plate that was supposed to come with three tacos, rice, and beans. They first brought her only two tacos and just... left it at that. We literally had to tell them her meal was incomplete before they brought out the rest. At that point, I asked where my food was. That's when we found out my order had never even been put in at all. So let me paint the picture: I ordered my food, sat there watching plates come out in pieces, watched them fix someone else's incomplete order, and only after all of that did anyone realize that my food had been forgotten entirely. O sea... el relajo era completo. By then, I was over it. I wasn't even hungry anymore, so I canceled my tacos and asked for another sangria instead. Then came the bill... and somehow it got worse. Even after my meal was never made or brought out, my tacos were still on the check. Nobody proactively fixed it. Nobody caught it. We had to point it out ourselves. And then? Automatic 18% gratuity, an extra charge for paying with a card, and absolutely no effort to recover what had already been a terrible guest experience. When we questioned it, we were told a manager might need to get involved. So we waited and waited. No manager ever came to the table. We literally had to flag someone down ourselves and surprise, that person ended up being the manager. And somehow...that conversation was just as disappointing. The tacos were removed (which, let's be clear, should have never been on the bill in the first place because they were never made) and they removed the sangria...by literally taking the drink back. No comp for the dirty glasses. No gesture for the forgotten entrée. No acknowledgment of the excessive delays. No meaningful apology. No guest recovery. Nada. As someone who has worked in the service industry and managed serving staff, I understand mistakes happen especially on busy nights. Pero esto no fue un chin de desorden...esto fue un tollo completo. What bothered me most is that management treated this like a simple billing correction instead of what it actually was...a failed guest experience. Fixing a check is the bare minimum. Real leadership takes accountability, moves with urgency, and makes guests feel like their time mattered. None of that happened here. Because at a certain point, service mistakes stop being a server issue and start becoming a management issue. When things go wrong this many times and no one steps in proactively, no one meaningfully apologizes, and the resolution is just to do the bare minimum... eso no e' un error, eso e' una cultura. And that says more than they probably realize. As for the food? It was fine. The empanadas were good. The tacos, however, were underwhelming and far from authentic. The birria-style tacos especially felt like a watered-down interpretation, more like regular tacos with meat and sauce than actual birria. If you're used to authentic Mexican food, no te me ilusiones mucho, because this probably won't hit the way you expect. Overall? Cute vibe, amazing drinks, great aesthetic... but mediocre food and genuinely disappointing service. Would I come back? For drinks? Claro, porque el bartender resolvió. For dinner? Ni loca. read more

My friend and I planned a Mother's Day outing to Frida's! Because it was so last minute we ended up doing two reservations, but they were so accommodating and we're able to sit all 10 of us together. After sitting down, it didn't take too long for the waiter to come around for us to place our orders. I frequent this place because it's in my neighborhood so I was very excited to come back yet again. I got my favorite margarita, which was great per usual. I also got three tacos; chicken, fish, and shrimp! Everything was cooked to perfection. The chicken wasn't dry. The fish was well seasoned and not overly fried. The shrimp wasn't overcooked either. They all had different toppings and came with radish and limes on the side. The fish and chicken were my favorite, but honestly, I've never had a bad taco from this place. The place wasn't too packed. The music was also at a great volume and it honestly was the perfect place for a Mother's Day outing and if you're ever in area, make sure you check them out. read more

Stopped in on a Tuesday to do taco Tuesday and was a bit disappointed to find out that they don't have a taco Tuesday menu. However, they do have a happy hour menu & while the drinks were good I didn't find them to be $11 happy hour good. The happy hour menu is a bit on the pricy side. The fried cheese and salami was delicious & we tried the lychee and passion fruit margs which were both good. I'd def come back but I'd come back sooner if it wasn't double digits happy hour. read more

After a long day being at the car dealership for 8.5hrs, I decided to try FRIDA after discovering the restaurant through the YELP app. Walked into Happy Hour (not properly attired for the evening affair ) my daughter and I sat down for our first meal of the day. We ordered Birria Empanadas, Bolos de Yuca, Birria, Al Pastor & fish tacos. The entrees were the tacos and it comes with a side of black beans & rice. EVERYTHING WAS TASTY & SO GOOOOODDDD! My daughter really enjoyed the Birria meat and consommé... it was the best consommé we've had. Everything tasted fresh. The service was great. The restaurant is decorated quite lovely and has a vibe to it (as per my daughter's words). We really loved everything about it. We will definitely go back to try more dishes on the menu. FYI: gratuity is included on the bill so budget for the 18% they charge read more

Decided to randomly try this restaurant and it was such a great decision! The restaurant was packed. There is indoor and an enclosed outdoor area for seating. I got a seat at the bar. The bar area is small and has seating for about 4-5 people. It was nice to see how all the drinks were created while sitting there. There is a QR code for the menu. There are also hard copies of the menu. It took a while for me to place my order because the bartenders were really busy making drinks. I ordered the coco loco. The presentation was beautiful and the drink was delicious. Hands down the best drink I have had this year. I would come back for this alone. I ordered three tacos. I got the shrimp taco which I really enjoyed. I got the fish taco which was really good. I also ordered the birria taco. It comes with a consommé. The bartender suggested adding cheese to the taco which I did. However, I couldn't really taste the cheese. The rice and beans were good but it would be easier to eat if it came in a bigger container. I also was expecting more rice and beans. The hot sauce was amazing. For dessert I got the churros. I didn't care for the caramel sauce. I really liked the chocolate sauce. This dessert is big enough to share with others. I really enjoyed the churros and would highly recommend it. The staff were pleasant. I look forward to returning again and trying more dishes and drinks. read more

Man, Frida was such a random find and I'm honestly still thinking about it. The tacos had this really fresh kinda pop to them, like you take a bite and you're like oh ok they actually care about seasoning here. The meats were super tender too, not that dry stuff you sometimes get. And the sauces... I don't even know what was in them but I kept dipping everything in it like a fool. The cocktails were so good I had to slow myself down. They've got this nice balance where it's not too sweet but not just straight-up liquor either. You can taste all the little flavors going on and it just works. Service was kinda perfect in that chill way. The staff felt like real people, not forced smiles or whatever. They checked on us at the right times, gave good recs, and you could tell they actually liked the place. The whole vibe made it easy to settle in and not rush anything. Honestly I walked out thinking wow I wasn't expecting any of that. It's just one of those spots you end up telling people about without trying. Five stars for sure. read more

First Sunday Brunch of the year! Frida is in my neighborhood and is an added emphasis to a boring food area. Only hiccups is the parking on a Sunday was tough because it is a residential area. The restaurant is cute but tight. We made reservations which I am glad we did because it was packed. Towards the end of Brunch the restaurant emptied a bit. It isnt a big restaurant so be prepared to have someine close to you. Service wasnt the best. Our waiter just wasnt as attentive. The food was good though. I had flight of tacos (shrimp, al pastor, birria) it was all tasty. The guac and chips were tasty too. They have happy hour on Sundays and that was clutch. I would definitely be back. read more

I visited this restaurant for the first time last weekend and I must say that I had a good time. We arrived for our 5pm reservation and the restaurant wasn't packed for a Saturday afternoon. It is small inside but I can see that they are very popular. A lot people came in to place to go orders. I started off with a passion fruit margarita which was strong but tasty. For my appetizer I had the nachos with chicken. The chicken could've been a little more seasoned. My sister ordered the Tostoncitos with Birria and they were delicious. For my entree I had the Birria Mofongo which was very good. The beef was well prepared and seasoned to perfection. The servers were very good and provided excellent customer service. I would definitely come back to try other options on the menu. My sister and brother enjoyed their entrees as well. read more

Amazing experience. Came for a solo date on Valentine's Day and it was definitely worth while. I was sat at the bar since it was just a party of one and I didn't mind it. Marcelo ( one of the owners) was so kind in approach and a very talented bartender. Him and Nemo (another talented bartender) worked so well together and really handcrafted each drink with love as I was there to watch with my own eyes since it's such an intimate space. I ordered the French kiss ( a Valentine's Day special but i requested for it to be on the main menu since it was so delicious ) and the Bougie G! I had the Birria Empanada and enjoyed it so much that I ordered two plus the hot peppers. Overall great experience loved the whole staff. Major shoutout to Chris and the young lady hostess tonight. read more

Frida is my favorite restaurant. Everything I've eaten from here has not disappointed. I bring all my friends here and they always enjoy the food as well. My favorite waiter is Chris, he's so attentive and has a great attitude. Every time I come I ask for him, he always keeps a smile on his face and knows how to make you laugh. All the staff there are very nice as well. I have no complaints about Frida. If you ever get the chance, check it out you won't be disappointed read more

This is my first time hearing of Dominican Mexican fusion and they do it well. They have a lot of good items on their menu to choose from. I started with the tres Golpes, yucca balls, And birria empanada. They do everything right. You get a sauce on the side for each dish and I can't complain about the portions. Then I had the birria Chimi sandwich and birria Mofongo. Mixing 2 different worlds into one. I was surprised but it actually works. Plus they have a brunch menu on the weekend. I got to try the Chilaquiles and they were addicting. Next time I want to try the chicken and waffles. Be mindful it can get packed here. The aesthetics are nice. It's more of an intimate or family vibe. Shout out Marcel for the great service. read more

So glad to have a delicious, authentic Mexican restaurant around the area! It's really Dominican Mexican fusion and the dishes truly show it. The portion sizes are very generous. We both ordered the taco entrees that came with rice and beans. The huge tacos were delicious especially the fish tacos. They were so accommodating to my baby as well, giving us a high chair and making sure he was comfortable. It was also really cute and decorated for Halloween. The owner is very attentive and made sure to greet us and ensure we were enjoying our experience. I can't wait to my to come back to dine here soon. read more

Came here for Sunday afternoon Lunch. Service was not great. Food was good. The decor was amazing! The cuisine is Dominican -Mexican Vegetarian options are limited and vegan even less. The Veggie Boat was kind of bland but not as bland as the accompanying sauce. The Fried Chicken was crazy good as was the Rice and Beans that came with it. The Chicken Al Pastor taco which came soft shelled and looked more like a burrito was really good. The Chicken Al Pastor Nachos were delicious but I did not taste the pineapple at all but my companions did. Who cares? Taste great! I think Chicken is their wheelhouse. Now let's talk about the drinks. Margaritas? On point. My sister has order these all over the world, She has got not time to waste with a bad margarita. So, she had 3!! I had a Watermelon Mojito. That was so good, I need to Uber there next time. read more

The vibe was perfect for a Saturday evening! Great music, the staff were attentive and the Owners were very nice! I tried three different drinks but La vida Frida was my favorite. The restaurant is small but cozy. The decor is cute. The food was delicious! The birria had so much flavor. The birria yuca bites were sooo good. They are small bites but worth it. We obviously got the salami, queso and tostones appetizers which hit the spot! That salami was perfection. The Shrimp and birria tacos were my fave. The rice and beans had a lot of flavor which surprised me only because a lot of places don't make good beans but these beans had FLAVOR! I found the menu reasonably priced and they give you 3 tacos that are fully packed, they do not skimp on the tacos. Definitely a great restaurant and worth a visit read more

My first visit to Frida was a pleasant experience. From the customer service to the drinks and food. We went on a Thursday during Happy Hour which ends at 7pm which is great for Brooklyn. We had frozen margaritas in mango and passion fruit and they were strong and delicious . I had birria mofongo and it was well seasoned and first consume that wasn't super oily and flavorful. My friends had the 3 tacos and the Mexican street corn was also the best I had because it was juicy, salty, tangy from the lime and they didn't skip on the cheese. I will definitely be back and happy to see such a nice fusion restaurant in our neighborhood. read more

Frida..... I was going to give this establishment a 4/5 rating due to the small space but honestly, if you make a RSVP ahead of time you will be just fine . We had a table of three and we had no complaints . I love some Mexican food and a strong margarita and Frida Brooklyn was worth the wait . I had the Birria Mofongo, Chips and Guacamole, and two mango margaritas . Everything hit the spot . The ambiance was cute and decor was picture worthy . There were a few birthdays in the house and I loved the way the staff celebrated a birthday . Gave me an idea lol I want to return and attend their Happy Hour . Also the service was accommodating . The RSVP were originally set for a table for 2 but we had a third person join . The staff worked it out in our behalf . We left the place full . It was hard for me to move around afterwards . I slept good that night . Frida Brooklyn is a 10/10 Hands down. I'm making a TikTok video soon !!! read more
