Today Mr. Mister wanted nachos. So not wanting go too far from the house, we been wanting to come here for awhile. And man Frida's did not disappoint. 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. read more

We go to Frida's whenever we're visiting my dad. It's always pretty solid. I like that they have complimentary chips and TWO salsas, both of which are pretty tasty. 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! read more

My wife and I have eaten at Frida's a handful of times over the past year, and until now our experiences have generally been positive. The service and staff have always been very friendly and welcoming, which is something we've appreciated. Unfortunately, after eating at Frida's the day after Christmas, we both became extremely ill. Beginning the following morning and continuing throughout the day, my wife and I have been vomiting nonstop and experiencing the exact same symptoms, including chills. We can't say for certain what caused it, but the common denominator is that the last meal we both shared was from Frida's. The timing and severity of the symptoms are very concerning, and if my wife's condition doesn't improve, we may need to go to the emergency room. This has been a really upsetting experience, especially given that we've trusted this restaurant in the past. The atmosphere is warm and typical for a mom and pop restaurant with no concerns to mention. We live less than 2 1/2 miles from Fridas and consider them as our go to Mexican restaurant. I'm sharing this not to attack the staff, who have always been kind, but to honestly report what happened and hopefully encourage extra attention to food safety and quality. read more

My husband and I went to eat lunch at Fridas Mexican restaurant. We always order the for 2 Fajita we noticed the menu changed. The menu say steak chicken shrimp and sausage be for it said pastor (pork) and we paid a little extra for it. This time we received the bill and it said for the steak shrimp and chicken was $30 but we added $15 for the chorizo sausage. Then on the bottom of the receipt, it states they didn't want sausage. So I paid $15 for something I did not receive because the waitress didn't tell me that I had to either order extra chicken shrimp or beef. The manager says well that's the way it is on the menu and because she didn't tell me I'm still responsible for the $15. They should have taken full $15 off read more

I had a pretty decent experience here. We walked in and were seated immediately by the clerk. While scrolling through the menu there was some kind of grease on one of the laminated pages, so I would like to recommend they do a quick check and flip through the pages before serving them to guests. Our waiter was nice and did a solid job with us. We didnt know what we really wanted to order and he assisted us with recommendations not only with food but drinks aswell. I ordered carnitas and they were made pretty well, I enjoyed them very much. My appetizer never came though, the shrimp cocktail. During the whole stay I wasnt even given an explanation either. Everything else was served to us fine but not a word on the appetizer. It wasnt until the check came when the waiter finally mentioned that he was sorry about the appetizer. I was a bit confused as to why he didnt tell me they didnt have it earlier because then we would of just ordered another but I didnt press the issue. read more

I apologize for the late review, but here it goes. This place is like a cafeteria but with servers. The place is enormous, with plenty of seating. The staff was friendly and got us seated and our orders quickly. They were so quick we had to ask them to come back as it was our first time there and we had not had a chance to review the menu. The staff is trained to get you to your seat, take your order, get whatever you need, and get you out the door. Now, that's not a bad thing. It just feels more like a cantina with food. We enjoyed ourselves, so I don't want my experience to seem negative because it's not. Now, on to the food. We got chips and salsa, but one of those sauces was fantastic. Just the right amount of flavor and heat. You all know some Mexican restaurants give you some salsa that has no flavor and is hot for no reason . We went with the street tacos. Beef, chicken and shrimp. They were tasty and hit the spot. There are so many selections to choose from that we may consider coming back. You all should check them out, and when you do, tell'em Drew sent ya! Y'all be easy now! Drew read more

We were sat promptly, the chips and salsa were good, the food was hot and delicious. Will return

Frida's is a great place for dinner and or lunch! It is a busy and well visited eatery. Chips and salsa are served as soon as you are seated. it can be a little noisy as this place is busy. However, it is not enough to interrupt your own party conversations. Service is fast and efficient, the food is what you would expect at a Mexican restaurant... It is very good. I have three favorite Mexican restaurants, one in Loganville, one in Snellville and this one in Lawrenceville. All are fantastic! Frida's is my go to in Lawrenceville! Recommendation: Yes, a must try! read more

Never was treated so poorly. Never was sat at a table. Staff kept looking at me as if I was supposed to sit myself. Finally someone came up to ask if I had been helped, to only be made to wait more time. So I just left and never will go back. Plus food is just ok, at least the times staff decided to sit me and provide service. read more

The service was awful and the food wasn't very good especially for the price I paid. It would have been nice if our server would have paid at least a little bit of attention to our table.. ambiance was very strange, music didn't match the restaurant and the bathrooms are filthy and the lights shut off on you. Won't be going back read more

Frida's has changed their menu & taken all my favorite dishes off the menu. The mild salsa is no longer mild. The service is the same. I've never seen Frida's so empty. This was my favorite Mexican restaurant. However, with the changed menu, I will not be returning. Before they changed the menu, I didn't mind driving 30 minutes & passing 5 other Mexican restaurants. I won't make this trip again. read more

Great delicious food and the service was even better. Alma Lucia, our server, was amazing, very attentive, efficient, friend, proactive, knowledgeable, and super amazing. The Sangria was 10 out of 10. This place won't disappoint you. I highly recommend it. read more

Been here 4 times! I like their food, specially their chicken tortilla soup, but last time I ordered it did not taste the same, I asked my waiter and she said that different people are in charge of putting together the food and some are better than others! I noticed it right away because I've been consistently ordering the soup, I hope they keep the same recipe! Their drinks are really good and they have great service. read more

This place was amazing, we arrived with a party of about 20 at 9:20 10 mins before their kitchen closed. They executed everything with care and got everyone's drinks as quick as possible, and that's regular drinks and alcoholic drinks included. Food was delicious, I personally ordered the fajitas and they were delicious and that's a Texas stamp of authenticity right there!! Service was so friendly and awesome to be served by, whenever I'm back in town I'll definitely be coming back, thank yall for the amazing experience!!! Los agradezco a ustedes!! read more

We went to Frida's on a Wednesday. Not super busy, but steady. The food was very good and reasonably priced. The place was clean and had a large number of artwork from Frida. A well known Mexican artist. Our server wasn't as attentive as she could have been, but we weren't in a hurry. read more

This place is excellent. Authentic, kick ass Mexican food and hot salsas. Friendly service too. We found this place when visiting my dad and sister and had to go back again. They love it too. Heading there this Friday and flying in from SoCal to take dad on a road trip in South Carolina. I highly recommend this place. We know great Mexican food being so close to the Mexican border. read more

Pretty good food and decent service. The chips were really bland and soggy, but their tamales and burrito were good. Their kids pizza was a standard 6" deep dish pizza, nothing to write home about. And the service was good. The staff was a little awkward, but they were all nice. read more

Unfortunately, the food here has declined. It used to be something that you knew that was consistent but now if you have DoorDash or if you go into the restaurant, it's a trade-off from bad service to bad food. I received a DoorDash order tonight after not trying them for a very long time because the last time was terrible. I had the steak burrito and it was seasoned with something that was terrible. I really don't get it..I have no clue how it was so bad but it was just plain terrible. read more

Disappointing! The restaurant was nice inside with a lot of room to accommodate our group of 20+ people. It was 4:30 on a Wednesday and we were separated from the main room by a wall. We were given "1" waitress "Ana", who was awesome at serving us. When we each received our bill we noticed the gratuity was already added along with a space for an additional tip, in which we all tipped her extra. However, as we were settling our checks, we were visited by a male server who asked us to be quiet because our waitress needed to make money. We were shocked! There were no other patrons around us! When he was asked to explain, he said he could not place anyone in our area because we were too loud. The music they piped through the speakers was louder than our conversations. We all felt blindsided especially after generously tipping our waitress who appeared appreciative. Too bad, the food wasn't as exciting as our experience. I am willing to go back again to see if my first unfortunate experience with this restaurant was just a fluke. read more

When we walked in, we approached the Hostess, and its okay that she didn't speak English - but we were obviously there to be seated but we needed 2 employees to come translate to her that we would like to be seated and order dinner. Very puzzling. The service from our waitress, Natali, was great. The Poblano Pepper Dinner and Shrimp Enchiladas were great - but the greatness ended there. We purchased a $15 CLIPP Coupon for $30 off Specifically FOR the Grayson Highway address (NOT Cumming). WHEN WE PRESENTED IT, the staff looked at us like we were crazy. It ended up with the Manager, Felipe refusing to take it telling us to take it to Cumming (a 70 mile round trip.) He was extremely NOT HELPFUL. I consider this the same as lying to your customer when you refuse to take a valid coupon. The food was great and Natali, our server was great but the Manager really blew it. Will miss having the good food again, but not the ridiculous drama. read more

Food was overpriced, especially for the low quality. 16 Dollar meals served with to-go utensils and to-go cups. Waited forever to get our checks and finally had to get another server to go find our sever. They overcharged me for items that I had to dispute with management and they sided with the waitress who was making mistakes all night. We had a party of 9 and spent over 400 dollars and the so the auto 18% gratuity was over $70. Definitely will not go there again, nor will I ever recommend this terrible place. Restaurant looks nice, but dont be fooled by the packaging. read more

Door dash review DDD followed instructions with the delivery My first time eating from here and the Shrimp Ceviche was on point. I did request pickled onions if they had them....guess not....NO biggie on that. The shrimp with the garlic was also very good but I did request extra sauce and that did not happen. Outside of that, it would be great if that made their to go packaging a bit more secure...it was just open.... I know most drivers are not always out to get you but there is still a percentage that does....so stapling, taping, or tying a knot (if possible) is always good so that when received, ot would be obvious if tampered with. Other than that...I will order again. read more

I'd say really a 2.5 right in the middle. Some people had told us it was great. We did takeout and don't live far but it was just ok. Maybe it didn't travel well but wasn't super impressed very confusing where to pick up a to go order. You end up standing near the bar and also it's the hall out of the kitchen. Seemed like main thing everyone was ordering was the queso dip. Maybe will eat in sometime to give it another chance. read more

The food here was excellent. I got a quesabirria (not birria tacos, there was a distinction here) and the wife got one of the nacho dishes. I'd probably want to try the birria tacos next time as the quesabirria was super cheesey to me (makes sense, it's a quesabirria after all). The consomme was great, it was full of birria - lots of other places just give you the broth. Wife didn't finish her nachos and ended up taking it home, as we got the typical free chips and salsa. The chips were nothing to write home about and the salsa was a bit watered down. The star getting docked was because the service was a little slow and our waitress went missing for a while and we had to ask another waiter and what seemed like the owner or manager for to-go boxes. Waiting for another opportunity to give this place another go. read more

Still one of Lawrenceville's best Mexican restaurants. Made the error of going in on a Friday during primetime (6pm-8pm), but that's okay. We were willing to wait and wanted to be out on the town. Wait time: approximately 30 minutes Server came to table after about 3 minutes (it was busy). But once she came, she checked on us consistently. Chips and salsa were delicious. Had all the salsa we could ask for. Ordered our meals once the waitress returned with drinks. The Fridas combination menu is a great choice. I chose Burrito and Chalupa for $8.99. Along with the free chips, I left satisfied. Overall the restaurant is plenty big with a full bar and two levels of dining room. Also ample outdoor seating...not covered, so it wasn't a good choice for the sprinkles we felt last night. read more

Frida's Mexican Restaurant - Chips and Salsa - Mexican Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

My third meal here. It's good, solid Tex-Mex, and not just for the area - actually good. Tasty flavors, and homemade salsas. Bring your own hot sauce, though - all they had to offer in that department was Valentina. (At least it wasn't El Yucateco - I really hate that brand and its artificial coloring.) Frida's complimentary house-made chips & salsa are better than most. Their Fajitas are served sizzling on cast iron platters - generously portioned and appealing. The signature Lobster Enchiladas are quite delicious - even though the langostino meat was heavily supplemented with imitation crab (probably "seafood delight" style processed pollock if I had to guess). Just don't think you're getting a deal on the Lobster - it's not all lobster, and that's why the dish is $14, and not $34... The menus themselves were noticeably dirty, and sticky/wet with salsa and margarita scuz. It's on the managers to notice issues like this. Really kind and attentive servers. It was nice to see this place doing well - the inside was *packed* even during Omicron Covid. We sat outside on their open-air patio by choice. Finding an open-air patio like this in Gwinnett County can be challenging, as most places that have a patio in this region love to drape it in clear "weatherproof" plastic, rendering it even worse for air circulation / viral load than sitting inside the actual restaurant. Go figure. read more

Only mexican resturant that serves burritos with just chicken in them and its dry. EL Indio for the win

Tonight's Food, service and atmosphere was all five star! Started with a free cheese dip bc of their Saturday coupon on their website! They always have coupons! My friend had Nacho Texanos with steak, chicken, and shrimp and he said it was fantastic plus it was huge! I had tostones with grilled shrimp and it too was delicious! Our server was a sweetheart offering to warm up our cheese dip a couple times for us. The manager check in with us too just making sure everything was to our liking! It had been quite some time since I had been there bc the last time it wasn't that great but this time it was outstanding! Looking forward to returning! read more

We came here based on the Yelp reviews, since this isn't our neck of the woods. Winner winner. We arrived around 5:45 on a Friday night and the place was busy. Yet we were quickly seated. Our server was Eduard and he was amazing. Friendly, yet professional. Helpful and full of personality. He checked back on us often. He was a fantastic server. Definitely an asset to the restaurant. He answered questions and gave great suggestions. We started with the queso dip and both of our kids said it was the best they had had in a long time. Our daughter had a mango margarita. And loved it. My strawberry margarita was super yummy. And my husband thoroughly enjoyed his house margarita. The chips and salsa were also great. There were two types of salsa. I loved the thick darker one. Three of us had the Burrito Asado. All three of us loved it. The steak was full of flavor and it was covered with the really good queso. Our daughter had the tacos al pastor. She said they were full of flavor and mui bueno. We would definitely come back here. I hope I'm on this side of town again so I can come back. read more

We stopped by for a what we wanted to be quick lunch on a Saturday. There was nothing quick about it. Though the waiter was kind, the whole ordering process was slow. Then I feel as if it took 30 minutes before the food came out. We went with another family after going to the park so we wanted to get food for our kids and rush home for the kids to have their afternoon naps. The table, who was seated after us, got their food and was eating well before we got our food. We had 4 small children at our table and were definitely not anticipating such a long wait during lunch on a Saturday when the restaurant wasn't busy. I know restaurants tend to serve smaller tables sooner because larger tables can entertain themselves for a bit, but I feel like when there are small children there needs to be some consideration for serving in the order the table comes in. I ordered 3 al pastor tacos with corn tacos. I should have ordered flour taco shells. The corn was not my favorite. The cheese on the taco was strange. It was kind of like the queso cheese that you get that does not melt. It was a large gelatinous chunk that did not stretch or pull or melt. I just peeled it off the tacos. It was odd. The meat was decently seasoned but the entire taco itself just was not worth the long wait. My kids did not touch the kids pizzas we ordered. They only ate the french fries and the rice. Needless to say, we won't be going back. read more
