Fresh ingredients, tasty items & a DELICIOUS Top Tier Burrito!! Tacos: 4/5 well made. They use double tortillas, with well marinated meat, onion, cilantro and guacamole Burrito 5/5: They have a GREAT carne asada burrito! This ranks up there as a top tier burrito. The meat flavor can carry the burrito by itself but it doesn't stop there, the guacamole and the additions topping make it a DELICIOUS pick! Interior: -clean design and plenty of room Service: -Good, no issues Overall this is a Good choice for tacos/various menu items and even better for Burritos!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Food was amazing Tacos and burritos today (next level) Service from the cooking department(unfortunately can use a lot of work) Thank you for the delicious food well prepared and the portions are a little out Control, but that's OK if The service with the register was really nice and very welcome Unfortunately, the interaction with the cook would definitely deter us from coming back. Like you and the register people are pretty much like the front line. No need to be so angry and bitter. All because we had told them to put the onions on the side. You're in the customer service business. You will come in contact with a lot of request in the kitchen and dealing with the . hope it was twisted bad day on your part which is understandable. We are all human. But just because the cook was having a bad day, we won't let that reflect the entire staff, which was really nice and kind. But we'd be more than happy to give it another shot hopefully the service in the preparation area I will definitely say the Horchata and their Jamaica are well-made, we definitely enjoyed their soft drinks
Their tacos are not that good. It's hard for me to write anything else. I did take these home to eat but with the watery salsa the tortilla is the soggiest ever! I have to put these in the air fryer. Their birria isn't good, it's also watery and not red. I don't get why it's called birria if it doesn't have the red seasoning along with birria juice. I can't spell it lol. Also, didn't ask us if we wanted cheese or even if they had it! We didn't think about til we got home. He added some cheese to his carne asada tacos and just didn't even finish the plate bc just not good. I always wanted to try this spot! Also, had to add that I told my man I bet he gave me the hottest one. Yep, he did put the hottest hot sauce on mine. Luckily I like it that way but that's also another reason for the one star! I'm not at work, I can be on my phone. I said sorry. Not sure what else would have been the reason he just decided to do that and my man was right there too. Smh. Good luck.
WEEKEND POETRY SLAM: ODE TO FRIDA'S {*anticipatory silence*} {*clears throat*} One bite, I transcended. Heaven is the taco joint By the laundromat. Best tacos on Earth-- dog stole one, now he salsa dances in the street. Rush of muted voices, "ICE?" Nah, just the freezer hum-- Back to tacos, brah. Guac drops like green gold, taco whispers sweet nothings-- my ex never did. Hate tacos? Red flag. Probably microwaves toast. Unfriended for life. {*drops mic*} {*audience snaps uncontrollably*} Pro tip: Satisfying TJ-style street tacos, burritos, and aguas frescas served with ambience that's a little too TJ-authentic. The asada, al pastor, and carnitas versions are perfect, but hard no on the cabeza / cow's head bc I don't want the mad cow disease. {*drops imaginary mic*}
Absolutely incredible experience. The tacos were next-level -- perfectly cooked meat, fresh cilantro and onions, and that creamy green salsa was unreal. Every bite was packed with flavor, especially the beef and carnitas. You can tell everything is made fresh and with care. The setup was classic and comfortable, the vibe felt authentic, and the salsa bar was stacked with options that actually bring heat and flavor, not just spice. The grilled onions and potatoes on the side were a perfect touch. Paired everything with an ice-cold Mexican Coke and an iced coffee, and it hit the spot perfectly. Portions were generous, prices were fair, and the food came out fast. If you're craving real, no-shortcuts Mexican food that delivers every single time, this place is a must. I'll 100% be back.
When it comes to Taco tuesday, where else can you find authentic street tacos for less than $2.00? They're loaded with meat and salsa and guac and my favorites are the adobada, asada and carnitas. Any other day of the week I probably wouldn't come here as the regular prizes for the tacos are wild. That being said, I love all the other reviews who are upset for spending so much money. Its not that hard to look up prices beforehand lol. The service is ok and sometimes the salsa bar has old condiments in it. Overall, its a fun place to go on taco Tuesday and Ill definitely be coming back.
First time eating here. I came here on Friday thinking it would be a quick taco shop, but raised this was more of a sit down eatery. So we left. But this time, we were ready. I like the set up and I love that there is outside seating. Kind of reminds me of TJ Tacos, but pretty. We ordered a mango agua fresca, carnitas mulita, and 2 adobada tacos. Holy cow! The food was fire!! Got a little plate of roasted peppers, sliced radishes, and cooked onions. That alone could be a meal - it was so good. Got a little container of salsa but all the food we ate didn't need any salsa. Just took a bite of the food followed up with a bite of the pepper, and it was magical! The cold, tasy agua fresca hit the nail on the head, diminishing the heat from the pepper. I was very happy we decided to come here and we'll be back!
Food not bad, it's great for when you want a TJ style taco in a hurry and can't drive over the boarder. The Vista location seems a little bit light on cleanliness, tables not clean, napkin holders have dried food on them, restrooms not prepped for the dinner crowd. I really like the decor and layout, music can be a little loud. I had a carne asada taco, pollo taco and chicharrón taco and not too bad. I may return.
Definitely worth visiting if you're craving street tacos! It's not as great as some of the spots closer to the border but will fill your street taco void if craving. Cashier was pretty lack luster... but seems typical nowadays it seems. You get a receipt and then give it to someone to build out your tacos. I love the open kitchen concept so you can see how it's all getting prepped. He was nice but I was super thrown off with the guac on the Al pastor (isn't a usual) but was happy to have the guac. He threw on some sautéed onions and peppers on my plate too. The onions were sooooo good and sweet. Carne Asada Tacos - Solid! Probably better than Tacos el Gordo's asada Al Pastor - this was what knocked down a star for me. Not sure if it was the meat or the guac but it was super saltyy. Wasn't the usual flavor profile I was used to. Overall the tortillas with the tacos were good. This was a nice a spacious restaurant. The offer a variety of items and drinks like the Agua Frescas. Will probably be back to try the fries. I saw them prepping another order and WOW it looked massive!!!!
I'm so happy they opened a location a little closer to home. This location has been open roughly a month or so. Best day to stop Taco TuesdayBell BUT it's packed after like 5 pm. But the wait is worth the $2 price tag! This trip we ordered the carne asada fries. As you can see you can definitely split this with 2 people. Fries are fries fresh, you add whatever toppings (already on is sour cream, cheese, guacamole) . Also recommend the pastor in tacos or burritos whatever. The flavor is there The ladies are nice at the cashier area. The guys prepping and preparing are always accommodating and in good spirits. Only complaint would be the organization of the lines between ordering and pick up. Maybe having the poles so there's a line to pick up along the counter. It gets so jumbled when it's packed. Seating indoor and outside. Salsa bar is near the door. All drinks are displayed and they are yummy! If you are in the area check this place out.

My first time trying this was at the Oceanside sunset market and I was impressed, esp for food from a pop up booth to exceed expectations. I later tried the Vista location and everything tasted just as good as the first time I had it! They have a variety of aguas and variety of different taco, nacho, and burrito options. The portions are nicely sized with pricing that accurately reflects that. You order at the register and the kitchen is open concept so they make your food in front of you before grabbing a seat. We sat on the patio which was beautiful. On the way to the patio you'll find a full salsa bar that included my fav, pickled carrots. I tried the carne asada and pollo mulita's and quesa tacos...SO GOOD! My friend ordered nachos and those were really good because they also put a nacho queso sauce on there which sets them apart (in a good way) from traditional taquerias in the area. * unfortunately I was WAY too hungry so the phone did not eat first but I got a few pictures of the vibe before leaving read more

I have visited their other locations (Oceanside & Escondido), so it was nice to see a local location opening. First things first, there's plenty of parking and seating. These are two important factors for me. There are tables, booths, bar stools, and outdoor seating options. Inside there's plenty of music (a little loud) and laughter; casual ambiance. The staff is friendly. If you are looking for a new taco spot, look no further. We came on a Tuesday, so it was pretty busy, but they had plenty of staff and we didn't wait long at all. We placed our order and paid. Then went to the taqueria window to order our tacos to our desire. We ordered a variety of tacos and decided not to customize them. All of the tacos were full of fresh meat and flavor, some spicer than others. I think we will stick to the basic tacos (carne asada, carnitas). There's a large salsa bar too. The tacos are street tacos, so we didn't add anything to them. Great deal for $1.99 on Taco Tuesday. The fresh juices/waters were delicious and full of flavor. I look forward to returning to try other items, including dessert. read more

Just went to Frida's taqueria tonight in Vista. We love taco shops like this but the closest one we enjoy is tacos 2 Portillo's in Riverside. I have to say I'm pleased with the service, the staff, and the FOOD! So delicious! You order, then take your ticket to the chefs and they prepare it right in front of you. The aguas Frescas are delicious and the salsa is fresh with a lot of flavor. We will definitely be making this one of our regular spots for take out moving forward! read more
Have heard so much about Frida's, decided to try them for Taco Tuesday. Got there about 1:30, trying to avoid the lunch rush. I was able to walk right up and order. Told the cashier it was my first time there and she asked if I had any questions. From other reviews for O'side, I asked about where to take the ticket she gave me, since those reviews indicated it was confusing. Maybe they have a different set up, since all you have to do is walk a few steps to give to one of the guys putting things together to order. You get to say what toppings and how much of each. Awesome for us pickier eaters! The cashier and the guy putting my order together were very nice. Got 3 carne asada tacos for $6.43, such a great TT deal! Left the change from my $10 as a tip. Would definitely go back again and try something else from the menu. read more

Went to Fridas for Taco Thursday. The line to order was short, but waiting in the 2nd line for your food took me 30 minutes. While in line, I went to get salsa from the salsa bar. The veggies were old, dried out, and some were moldy. It was disgusting. If this is what is presented on the outside, imagine behind the scenes. read more

Service was excellent. We got there before the lines got too long for $1.99 taco night, which was 530p. You order at the counter then you get in another line to wait for the preparation of your tacos where you could pick what goes in your tacos. line was really long by 6 PM. It was probably over 20 people deep. Food was ok but the busy atmosphere was kinda fun. It's loud inside but there is outdoor seating too, read more
