As I made the reservations for my friend and I to eat, there was a waitlist but it didn't take long before we got seated. The host was able to get us in quicker than quoted. Our server was Igor, and his acknowledgement of the kind of accommodations needed for us was amazing. My friend, who's in a. wheelchair had enough space to dine in. The food was wonderful and the walls in the restaurant were filled with vibrant colors with canvas paintings of Frida! We snap wonderful photos before we left. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcomed. My aunt dined here a lot and it's her favorite spot in Evanston. I would dine here again soon. read more

I was seated quickly even with the restaurant busy. They have a diverse menu including some lunch items. The service is really friendly, the prices reasonable and the food taste great! read more

Frida's Breakfast & Lunch - TWO EGGS WITH HAM - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Another great experience at Frida's this morning. Our timing this Sunday morning was fortuitous- we snagged the sat open table, arriving just after 9:30. Service is consistently friendly and attentive. I once again ordered the avocado omelette, generously stuffed with avocado, balanced well with the chicken sausage and cheese and with a slight kick from the tomatillo(?) sauce on top. I love that it also comes with a pumpkin muffin- perfect to save for later. The atmosphere is lively and cheerful. You really can't go wrong by dining at Frida's! My daughter went sweet with the strawberry/banana/Nutella French Toast. Delicious, both the the taste buds & the eye - so artfully presented! read more

I've ordered here a couple of times from the hospital (my workplace) for a weekend brunch. The delivery service is impeccable, and the food usually gets there within the hour even on a Sunday. I love the omelets and pancakes. The portions are very generous and often make for two meals, which is very appreciated during long work weeks. 100% recommend. read more

Just had an awesome Mother's Day breakfast / brunch at Frida's. Highly recommend. The food is outstanding and a big variety to choose from - an extensive menu - you will find it here. The portions are big so bring an appetite. Service was also amazing. People were checking on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. Super fast as well. Big thanks to Jessica (our server) and Rosario (who helped us fit our crew of 9 in (we called a couple weeks in advance and she told us what to do). Frida's is very popular for a reason, so get there early, otherwise you may need to wait. read more

We came to Chicago for Thanksgiving. We are staying at the Orrington Hilton. They closed down their breakfast service early and so we were referred to Frida's. I love the ambience because it reminds me of home. The server at the front desk is very welcoming. When you walk in you definitely catch a vibe that reminds you of family. We are from California and we got love for Chicago. We are wishing everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Raise a glass today and remember those that are not here and cherish those that are. We are grateful for Frida's. Thank you for being open Thanksgiving morning. read more

I've been radically changed. The place was so cozy, even the bathroom was like walking into your mom's bathroom. The people were so nice and smiled and were so polite. I was warned beforehand about substituting fries for salad being half the price of a salad ($16). THE FOOD WAS SO FUCKING GOOOD YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. They even gave me a complimentary orange slice :3 read more

Frida's Breakfast & Lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

On a spur of the moment trip to Evanston, my sister looked for a place to eat as we were didn't feel like driving back to The North Side so quickly. She did a quick Google search. Suggested we go here. Frida's is an ideal size in an ideal location. Not too big to be overwhelming - just cozy enough. As the name evokes, it centers Mexican flavors along with standard breakfast fare. On a holiday week, the staff was a bit overwhelmed but attentive. They were jugging a few tables at a time but very prompt. My sides didn't come out with my breakfast. Service had it in two seconds. My dad wanted more coffee. Coming right up. My sister and mom had mochas. They both raved about the taste with my mom saying that it was one of the better ones she had in awhile. My dad thought the coffee was flavorful having multiple cups. I considered the mango juice but just felt like water. My dad ordered the meat lovers omelette. My mom enjoyed a short stack of pancakes. She raved about how fluffy they were. My sister had scrambled eggs with cheese, potatoes, and sausage. She noted that her eggs were perfect. The potatoes had a bit of spice to them which give them a touch of flavor. Having a bit of a sweet tooth, I chose the bananas foster french toast. The buttery caramel provides a nice topping ovee the bananas. Fresh whipped cream provided a crown to this delicious masterpiece. It didn't melt too fast which allowed for it to be part of each bite. For a side, I had the pork sausage. It came out with three on the plate. They were quite fresh and very delicious. The entire menu looks good. You'll no doubt have a hard time making a decision. Guess that means you'll have to come back again! Frida's definitely is worth checking out for locals, student, a return visit to campus, or before a game. read more

For breakfast, I chose something out the ordinary. Definitely recommend the winter omelette. Upon entering it looked smaller than it actually was. They have their own bar and everything here. The ambiance is really chill. Hispanic music is playing while you sit. Definitely recommend coming in to enjoy a cappuccino. It was worth every penny. Well done indeed. read more

Second time visiting Frida's and have to say it is one of my favorite breakfasts. Has the Asada Hash, which is a little pricey, however, well worth it!

We brought a group of 24 for Brunch and it was AMAZING! To be fair, we did send in our order the day before and reserved the space, but everything was handled beautifully. The table was ready for us when we got there, drinks came our quickly and efficiently, and when the food was served it was hot and delicious. The staff was super helpful and really helped make our brunch event a success. Thank you!! read more

This place is easy to overlook because it is in the end of a corner and isn't really flashy, but man it was good! We came for breakfast and they had a big selection of items and a specialty menu. I was not prepared for how big the chilaquiles rancheros were! They came with Spanish rice, eggs, guacamole. They were truly amazing and could easily feed two people. The banana French toast was good for those who prefer a sweet breakfast. The staff was really nice and helpful giving us recommendations and consistently filling up our drinks. read more

AMAZING BENEDICTS! My daughter and I came for Sunday brunch! We arrived and there was a 20 minute wait which is typical for a weekend . We got seated and got a guava lemonade and guava Margarita! They were both soooo good!! Then we ordered the waffles and the Canadian Benedict! It was soo delicious ! Waffles were fluffy and the extra fries were delightful ! Highly recommend Friday when you on the area !! They are only open for breakfast and lunch!! read more

What a hidden gem. Walking by, the outside is very unassuming. The interior is cute and quaint and surprisingly bigger than you would expect. However the star of the show....the food! I normally don't clean a whole plate by myself but the triple berry mascarpone crepe was so so delicious! The fundido Benedict was eggcelent:) Right amount of spice and flavor. The potatoes were nice and crispy, the chorizo was seasoned to perfection. All underneath a nice toasty baguette. I usually get my Benedict over hard (hate runny yolk. I know I have no taste lol) but I forgot to order it that way and it was still delicious to me. I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu and even their drinks. That strawberry mimosa is calling my name. The cons I would say was the service. It wasn't anything special. Had to flag the waitress down a few times for things I needed however when it comes time to paying the bill, they literally hold the pay machine out to you and watch you as you enter a percentage for tip. A little awkward. Also, the fresh squeezed OJ was super bitter. Would skip next time. read more

Met a friend for brunch today and truly enjoyed this place! It's quaint and tastefully decorated with Frida Kahlo paintings. We thought about sitting outside but they didn't have that part open. Still, we were able to get a table inside in just a few minutes despite them being busy. They have a large menu and it was hard to decide! Everything I saw being brought out looked great! I opted for the avocado omelette and my friend had the chorizo hash. Both were very good, in large portions. Hers came with cornbread and mine came with a pumpkin muffin! Yum. We both had mimosas and coffee and I'm subtracting one star because their coffee is weak. So much so that we both ordered a shot of espresso ($4). That was so much better! Will definitely be back to try some other dishes. read more

When I was in Chicago for a quick weekend visit, I Googled breakfast places in Evanston and Frida's was one of the results with good reviews. The Saturday morning I was there I met my mom at Frida's for breakfast. This place, like most establishments in Evanston, is quaint and cute. We were seated at a small table off to the side of the room. Waters and coffees appeared ASAP. We reviewed the menu and I decided on a hash. Before long, we were feasting and my hash was absolutely delicious. I crushed it, happily. Shortly thereafter our plates were cleaned, the bill was paid, and we were on our way. Next visit to the Chicago-area, I'm absolutely visiting Frida's! read more

Frida's Breakfast & Lunch - VEGETABLE HASH - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Food is always great but service is lacking now. Last time I went I had a party of 6 and the server was giving us attitude because we were modifying the menu. Then when I went back by myself I was never check up on never got a refill of coffee. When it was time to pay I had to flag down three different people to finally get my check. I sat around for 40 minutes with an empty cup and when I finally paid the server finally asked me if I wanted more coffee. Yes I would've wanted it with my food not 20 minutes after I've been done and ready to head out the door read more

Met a friend for breakfast on Sunday. Went around 10 am and we were able to snag a table. By the time we left, there were people waiting. The restaurant was bigger than it looks from the store front. I actually walked past it. I ran google maps to find it. Lol Menu was quite extensive. Something for everyone. I love chilaquiles so I had to get it. My friend ordered the la azteca omelette. Both dishes were very tasty. Portions are big. We both had leftovers. As I ate the chilaquiles, it got progressively spicy, but in a good way. I definitely recommend! Everyone was very nice. Service was a bit slow, but we found out they were short-handed so they get a pass. They didn't have an outdoor seating when we went because they were short staffed. I will be back! read more

We stopped in for brunch around 11 on a Saturday and waited ~ 30 mins for a table for five. We got the: - Michigan apple and cheddar cheese omelette: 5/10 - Cochinita hash: 10/10 - Wild berry waffle: 7/10 - Berry and peach french toast: 7.5/10 - Enchilada mamacitas: 8.5/10 Overall: 4.5/5 The favorite dish among all of us was definitely the hash. It had so much flavor and was super filling. The omelette was just okay and overall could have been better in terms of flavor. The servers were great and we enjoyed our time dining here. I would say the price per dish was a little steep in relation to the portion size. However we all enjoyed our food and would definitely come back again to try other dishes! read more

[Frida's] Mexican inspired brunch location in Evanston, also family owned 1. Fundido Benedict 2. Mixed Berry Pancakes 3. Chilaquiles 4. Cochinita Hash 5. Lox Sandwich minus the pic of the bagel 6. Turkey Club I can't speak for anything else but that Fundido Benedict went crazy. 10/10 spot just because of this dish. If you like Benedict's and chorizo this is definitely the one. It was so filling, so much on the plate, all for a relatively cheap price that's so worth. The plating and aesthetics of the food was really good and the service was very fast 9.5/10 https://fridasevanston.com 618 Church St Evanston, IL 60201 read more

We love Frida's! We came here for breakfast/brunch on a regular basis when we lived in the neighborhood. The egg white omelette was always my favorite! We decided to grab breakfast from Frida's the other day, when we passed through Evanston. Food was just as delicious as I remembered it, and service was friendly and quick. Servers were attentive and refilled our coffee/water as needed. Very cozy breakfast joint in the heart of downtown Evanston. read more
