We took a chance and tried a neighborhood restaurant. The food was good and so was the service. I had the #11 lunch special (tacos, rice and beans) and my husband had the veggie taco salad. This was the first time but it won't be the last. read more

Absolutely thrilled that this excellent Mexican restaurant has recently opened a spot in East Richmond off of Williamsburg Road. We've got very little to choose from here, and this is a welcome addition. The food is fresh and delicious, the service very friendly, and the price is just right. I love their chips and salsa - the chips are super fresh and the salsa is not spicy but very flavorful. I got takeout Carnitas tonight and can't wait to dig in. read more

Fridas Mexican Restaurant - Carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Great food, friendly people, reasonable prices, consistently positive experience. Lived in the area until a few weeks ago and ate at Frida's several times a week, trying a wide variety of menu items. No complaints at all. This was our go-to restaurant. read more

I got the beef burrito and beef taco. It wasnt bad, but it wasnt good. It was really really basic, perfect for those who enjoy bland flavors however I am not one of those people. Even other Americanized, Mexican restaurants will cook their beef with onions or peppers, but this was just plain beef. The spanish rice was on the dry side and bland. Portions were small to what I'm used to when ordering a combo meal. I actually finished my food which is unheard of if you know me. The service was good, but somehow my check came out to be $12.29 although my food was only $8.99 plus an extra charge to have cheese dip on top of my burrito, and a water. Not quite sure how cheese on top was that much extra. This meal wasnt really anything to complain about but I definitely would not choose this over Plaza Azteca. read more

The underwhelming experience and poor quality food had nothing to do with current COVID restrictions. It's aesthetically a beautiful spot, with lovely murals and decor, and the staff was friendly...but that is about all I can say that is positive. Bland food, straight outta the microwave and at a ridiculously high price point for the poor quality delivered. The Spanish rice was dry and tasteless, even crunchy, the salsa had no flavor, and the cheese dip was watery and tepid . Our orders were incorrect twice, and when asked to have it corrected they just scraped off the offending topping and sent it right back. I have only legit sent food back to a kitchen 3 times in my life, and I'm 37 years old. Usually I just grin and bare it and take note not to return. I could not bring myself to consume, let alone pay for, the food that was set in front of me. I sent it back and ordered another drink. Speaking of which, the Margaritas were overpriced and incredibly weak. Again, absurdly pricey for such tasteless and ill-prepared food. I should add I worked as a cook at an incredibly well-reviewed and popular taco spot in Richmond, and have worked in kitchens for years, and we made it all fresh and from scratch, including our margaritas, at a much lower price point. So I'm not being unrealistic in my expectations. read more

Doesn't deserve 1 star My fam and I have been patrons of Fridas for years but they just lost us + everyone we will tell. We were there for late light lunch and drinks and saw a HUGE roach under our table, crawling on the wall. We were horrified. We immediately moved to the other side of the aisle bc we had just placed our order, the food is normally good and we had somewhere to be so just wanted to try to put this behind us. When the check came, we asked at least for the drinks to be comped or something. Jesus the manager came to the table and was utterly disrespectful. He said the roaches come from outside (clearly indicating he had seen them before), raised his voice at us, never apologized and acted as if we were trying to get out of the bill. The poor level of customer service clearly showed he did not value regular patrons and he walked away without finishing the convo. THE FOOD ISN'T THAT GOOD to be disrespected. We will NEVER BE BACK read more

This is good local joint. I have had better Mexican in Richmond but I recommend this place to try for a quick Mexi-night. The staff isn't the friendliest. I usually order a taco salad and a side of rice and beans. It's not bad, just seems like they rush to cook everything or it's pre-made. Their margarita specials make it all better though, lol read more

Love this quaint restaurant and its Frida Kahlo theme. The food is good, especially the carnitas! My friend had the steak tacos and raved about them. We had churros for dessert, which were good but could've been crispier. The service was great and our server catered to our every whim and even ran our "doggie bag" out to us when we left it on our table. We've come here several times during the week, but we want to come back on a weekend when they have live music! The patio is going to be nice this fall, we'll be sure to stop in here again next time we crave Mexican!! read more

'TEQUILA MORE' ---$1 margaritas Like most authentic Mexican restaurants they serve the traditional menu with enchiladas, tacos, burritos, rice, beans, fajitas etc. It's a smaller divey restaurant so it can be busy during lunch and dinner hours. M-F they offer different specials from $1 tacos to $1 margaritas. There isn't anything extraordinary - hence why I'm giving it 4 stars- but def a great place to go for cheap Mexican food and good drinks! Can't beat a $1 margarita! Service is quick and waitresses are friendly! read more

Let's get right to the review! The decor is really nice, simple and not overwhelming. This is not a big restaurant so come early, because they can get packed quickly. They do have a cute outside patio area weather permitting. The service was good, no complaints at all. She was attentive without constantly hovering. The food was amazing! I had the whole trout ( Pesco Frtio, I think that was the name lol) it came with rice and beans as well as a bit of salad complete with pico and guacamole. I also ordered a Vodka Collins, which was made perfectly. We went on a Friday and there was live music!!! Such a nice touch. Before I knew it, the place was packed, and it felt like you were at a friend house and smack in the middle of a dinner gathering with your new Mexican extended family. Really nice! read more

This is a solid spot for authentic Mexican food at low prices. Just a couple of miles from my mom's, I've been coming here before it switched from casa grande several years ago, and the quality is the same if not better after the change. It's a small and somewhat divey space, but service is always pretty friendly and quick. I've ordered several different dishes that have all been to my liking. Most recently I ordered the Burrito Loco, which was stuffed a tortilla stuffed with shrimp and grilled veggies and served with rice and guacamole salad. I cleared my plate- it was great! And only $7.75. There was a large group of noisy kids when we arrived on the most recent visit. Wish we would have come later, but this is not the fault of the business. Luckily the kids cleared just as our food arrived, so we enjoyed some quiet convo over our food. Also, complementary chips and salsa are always pretty good. read more

I came in with high hopes after reading the reviews on Yelp. The atmosphere is cute and inviting, the menu options are plentiful and it was clean. The service was a bit awkward as our waitress came back a few times to change or verify our orders, and at one point we weren't sure what one of us was getting, but that was our fault for not trying to get her to explain a second time. We ran out of chips pretty quickly, but the food came out fast. The burrito grande I ordered off the lunch menu was plenty big enough and it was delicious. I will definitely say the slightly underwhelming experience was from possibly a new or frazzled waitress so we will definitely try again a different day, at a different time. read more

I was in Richmond for the weekend and Fridas was in walking distance of my hotel. Speedy and Courteous service for takeout.

What a wonderful find near our hotel! They accommodated our party of 12 on a Saturday night and everything was delicious! Wonderful flavors from the salsa to the enchiladas, tamales, burritos and fajitas. Wish I lived in the area so I could visit again!! read more

The food and drinks were delicious and worth every penny. I highly recommend going there if you have not. Friendly staff as well

This restaurant has good prices and great food,but most of the servers are terrible. It is like pulling teeth to get your drinks refilled and forget getting your check unless you go to the register. read more

My friend and I literally just left because we were seated and no one ever came to take our food or drink order. We looked around and noticed two parties who were seated after us were receiving service. No one acknowledged us at all. Also the place is small and cramped and they were seating parties within very close proximity not adhering to Covid guidelines. I will not be returning. read more

Cute restaurant, w outdoor seating. Nice and pleasant staff, great lunch special prices, good flavors... complimentary chips and salsa. I got a Modelo and a Beef taco salad. So good. Frosty mug for the beer. read more

We have lived in the area for 4.5 years and finally tried Frida's. After many years of saying we should drop by and give them a whirl, we finally did. We will most certainly be back. The food was great, as was the service. And who wouldn't like a $2 lunch margarita? The food was traditional Mexican and cooked to perfection. The entire family enjoyed our meals. I think we have a new favorite Mexican joint. read more

It's a cool local style authentic Mexican restaurant. Menu looks better than the real food tho. I ordered coctel de camaron and two different Margarita. The shrimp let me down a little bit as it's too sour, drinks were so so good tho. read more

Went here for a surprise date with my boyfriend, and boy was I pleasantly surprised! This place is unbelievable! I had the fajitas Azteca and my boyfriend had the grilled shrimp and steak. Both were superb and flavorful without being oily. The restaurant is a little small, so if you aren't a fan of crowds I would go at a non peak time. The atmosphere is wonderful as well as the service. I, regretfully, did not catch the name of our server, but she was wonderful! We will definitely be back! read more

Perfectly serviceable food and an extensive menu. I personally don't find it to be anything special, but my family loves it.

Ok leuk. I love Latino food. Chain, hole in the wall, fancy, carts, and everything in between. This is the best place in RVA. The food is fresh and delicious. Atmosphere is awesome. Service is friendly. Margaritas are on point. Locally owned and operated. Eat here. read more

We stopped in here while traveling for a soccer tournament and it was near our hotel. The food was above average. I have fajitas and my son had quesadillas. Both of us enjoyed them. The chips weren't my favorite, but I enjoyed the salsa. The staff is friendly and we had zero issues during our meal. We'd comeback on occasion if we lived in the area... read more

Had dinner here and I give 5 stars on the food and two stars on the margarita. The food was excellent. I had a taco & a chicken enchilada. The chips & salsa were great too as were the beans & rice. The margarita, however, was SO sweet. The mix was extremely sweet and I prefer mine either fresh squeezed or a little more lime juice if they use mix. Hopefully they can improve upon in! I'm sure I'll be back though. read more

3rd time that I have dined at Fridas. The food is excellent, and the other times that I have dined at Fridas the service was good, also. BUT, tonight, not so much! When my server delivered my meal, I asked for more chips and salsa. I tried to make contact with her, but she never looked my way, or came by. I also wanted to get another Dos XX, but no luck. After 25 minutes, I had finished my meal, she finally came by and asked me if I wanted another beer. I asked her what happened with the chips and salsa. She apologized. I told her that I was very disappointed with the service, and it was reflected in her tip! Oh well, between the 2nd beer a tip, I saved $10.00 read more

I have tried Fridas now twice and both times i was very impressed. There isnt another Mexican restaurant right in this section right by parham and brook. The staff is very friendly and stay on top of your tortilla chips and sauce lol. I know at some Mexican restaurants i go to after your first basket it might take them a while to ask if you want more. Not here!. The food taste really good. Its your typical Mexican restaurant food quality and taste but still very good. Prices are very good especially for lunch. read more

Passed by this place several times and had never tried until this week. Went for lunch after doing a quick nearby yelp lunch search. The reviews were all correct--some pretty good Mexican food with great service and great prices. Probably one of the cheaper lunch menus I have seen, but the quality of the food was on par. Gets really busy pretty quickly, but that's how you know it's gonna be good! Will definitely return when on this side of town and craving Mexican goodness! read more

I've been coming to Frida's for the past 3 years and I haven't thought of reviewing it until I saw how underrated it is on this app. With the recent change on how they make their fajitas (almost NO oil) I can day that I can eat here and enjoy a low calorie- low salt - but delicious meal. The staff is incredibly friendly. There's a sense of family. It can get fairly crowded at lunch so try to get there early if you want to sit at the booths. Overall, 5 stars. read more

Fridas Mexican Restaurant - This place was pretty good. Margaritas were delicious. Nice little stop during my one night stay in Richmond. - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

My guilty pleasure is Tex-Mex and ordering heaping plates of enchiladas or fajitas at Mexican casual sit down joints. I'm easy to please when it comes to this stuff. Unfortunately, however Frida's is disappointing. The food is flavorless and the consistency wrong. Too much grease or something. It is cheap, though. And service is attentive. read more

My boyfriend and I live nearby, and Frida's is a staple in our local restaurant rotation because the service is fast, the food is tasty, and the prices are reasonable. Frida's doesn't pretend to be anything it's not- it's just a simple Mexican restaurant with all the dishes you'd expect at such a place. Since they do it well and they do it consistently, I'm more than happy to give them 4 stars. Edit: I just remembered that I forgot to mention their lunch specials! They serve really excellent Mexican tacos as cheap lunch specials (I believe it's weekdays only), and they're much less greasy than the usual tacos; you get your choice of meat on a corn tortilla, topped with fresh veggies and delicious avocado. They make for a light, tasty lunch that truly can't be beat in this area! read more
