    Cool ambiance and good service. Ordered a couple of wet burritos to go; chicken and chile verde. Wife liked her burrito but felt that chicken was a little dry. My burrito was pretty good so we will need to come back to dine in and try some other items. Overall 4 stars.

    Carne asada

    This is the first time we ate here, after we found this place in yelp, when we had an appointment near here. I ordered the Al pastor taco. The taco was temperature hot but too oily . It had no taste. Because it was too hot and oily, tortilla broke open. The meat was oily and the meat was tough and burnt and it didn't have that much of a flavor like most restaurant spicy and flavorful. It didn't have pineapple in it. The burrito which my daughter ordered was carne asada.There was not much flavor.

    Feed me tacos and tell me I'm pretty!

    Frida Kahlo inspired taqueria next to the laundromat at Rumble and Prescott. There's a dozen wood tables and chairs about the place seating 50 people in any configuration you'd like. Most people eat here but you can also order to go at the counter. We were greeted immediately on a Saturday evening and able to place our order to go quickly. Although the enchiladas are highly rated, we chose to try the Chile rellenos and Empanada. We noticed while waiting for our food that that have homemade flan....I went ahead and ordered it because I can't pass up a homemade flan. Here's what we thought of the food. Chile Relleno - 7 Lacked crispness for the most part and wasn't a memorable Chile, cheese or sauce flavor Empanada - 10 This was a unique and delicious version of an empanada. It is so good that we will now go out of our way to come and order this. Wow...crispy and soft and moist and...just amazing. Order ahead or dine in, this is a nice spot for good Mexican food!

    Such a cute place, with the very best Quesabirria Tacos and Mulitas, owner and chefs. Wanted to try their food before an upcoming catering order, and they did not disappoint. So much flavor and freshness to their food, I had to restrain myself from eating it all. Delicious everything!!! Excited to have them cater my next event

    food is always delicious. had enchiladas last visit and they were fire. beans, however, lacked in salt but rice made up for it. i get a large glass coke and it's the kiss to the meal. also, their flan is pretty thick & yummy.

    chile verde wet burrito
    Nichole S.

    So I was excited 2 try the wet burritos based on reviews. I ordered a chile verde super burrito wet with green sauce. Was pretty expensive. Burrito came out to $16.99 without tax. When I got burrito it looked good but deflated. Like it was not stuffed at all so that was disappointing. If you look through my reviews you will see I'm a burrito connoisseur. Mexican in general. Flavor was good but burrito unfortunately did not have much insides. Sausages were all pretty good. Had some heat to them . I feel that the burrito was a bit overpriced.

    My boyfriend and I drove to Modesto for a day outing. We stumbled across Frida's and did not disappointment! The artwork inside is beautiful and the music is not too loud - just perfect. We were seated right away. The server was very attentive throughout our dinner. I ordered an Asada Burrito Super and it's a 10/10. I am a big fan of burritos and can honestly say this is one of my favorites now! I can't wait to come back!! Also, the prices and portions were great! It was not overpriced. It was such a great place for a date.

    Highly recommend Frida's to those seeking authentic Mexican cuisine. Everything was a 10/10 for me. From the salsa and chips, to the mulita, nothing was a miss in regards to flavor and presentation. I tried the two aguas frescas: pepino limon and arroz, and both were perfectly made! They were fresh and did not taste artificial. The chavela, is a prepared beer of your choice with salt and lime, and can sometimes be a miss, but not at Frida's! If you enjoy beer, try this one! Food 10/10: Asada Mulita-the asada was savory with minimal fat and juicy. Honestly it did not need anything added, because it was already perfect. The salsas are not super spicy but provide good heat without extreme burn. Asada fries- they use an orange sauce that I loved. Steak fries, refried beans, meat, cheese and toppings all balanced portions. Shrimp Botana- a must try! The sauce on these was tangy and is not spicy but is so good that I was dipping the steak fries in it! The interior is beautifully designed with Frida decor. The art and decor transports you to Mexico with the colors and decorative pieces. The staff are efficient and welcoming. It was a little busy yet the wait was minimal from when we ordered to receiving our food. The restaurant is tucked away in a small shopping strip but there is parking available.

    This restaurant deserves a lot more love! The menu isn't too large, but they have perfected the things that are on the menu. The quesabirria had so much meat and cheese. The pickled onions added that acidity that was needed to balance the meat. The burrito mojado was one of the best that I've ever tried. It was huge! The rice was perfect, the beans were good, and the pastor was so flavorful. I enjoyed the red sauce more than the green one because it is spicier. The restaurant itself has a lot of tables and nice paintings all around. The owner greeted us at the end and he was so nice and attentive.

    We mainly came for the quesabirria, and weren't disappointed. It really hit the spot. The salsa, pickled onions and consome all just came together beautifully, and the salsa had some heat. We also tried the asada fries. They were decent, but I'd definitely just stick to the quesabirria next time. The fries weren't really crispy, there wasn't much meat, and they had refried beans. Refried beans + fries is just a very dry bite. They use shredded cheese, which isn't a bad thing, but it doesn't help with the dryness. If you swapped out the refried beans for whole beans, and (just my taste) used nacho cheese instead of "real" cheese and added the salsa that comes with the quesabirria it would be much better. Oh, and the complimentary chips and salsa were great! Everyone working here is very friendly and welcoming, the decor is inviting and great music!

    Where is a menu with prices?

    At the restaurant. With costs changing so much a lot of places can't afford to keep printing new menu's. I can tell you they are very reasonably priced.

    I come here pretty often, and it's always a solid choice for Mexican food in town. The food is…read moreconsistently good, the drinks are solid, and they easily have the best chips and salsa around. Service is always friendly and reliable, which keeps me coming back. My only real recommendation is to avoid sitting in the bar area if you're in a hurry. Service there tends to move a lot slower, so it can take a while to get your order in and get your food. The restaurant itself is a little run down, and the bathrooms could definitely use some attention, but the bar and outside area is decorated nicely and has a good atmosphere overall. All in all, it's a great local spot and one I keep going back to.

    Unfortunately, this was a really disheartening experience…read more We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally came out there was an issue with the size of the menudo bowl that had been offered to us. Instead of trying to resolve the situation or make it right, the manager, Noah, became argumentative and tried to debate what had been said rather than listen to the customer. After waiting that long, the last thing anyone expects is to feel like they have to argue just to be heard. What made it more disappointing was the lack of willingness to fix the issue or offer a solution. We came in hoping for a good meal and left feeling frustrated and unheard. It's sad because good service could have easily turned this into a positive experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. At the end of it he realized and came back and finally apologized.
