Pretty decent food and good prices reign here !…read more The lasagna is my favorite here. I know a lot of people like their Pizza. I've never tried it so I can't compare it. I don't eat here a lot, but about two or three times a year. (I've never really had bad food here but it's just not near my house.) The service is always been good here too because it's a small place. This is not expensive place and it's always busy. It's got a great atmosphere with a really cool outdoor space.

Had to wave her down to order, wave her down to pay, they charge 4% for credit card, so went to pay her in cash. She didn't say what the total was. Honestly- when a restaurant doesn't pay attention to bad wait staff- it affects their business. Food was decent.

The edamame was ok--needed more sea salt. We ordered the WTF roll which was good but we found it had too much on it so we liked it better eating it a bit deconstructed.

The vibe here is always so fun and laid back. The food menu seems to be ever changing but no complaints. I had a chili / cheese dog during my recent visit and it was satisfying.

This is one of my favorite places in Birmingham because of its no frills, neighborhood hangout vibe. The team there can make a mean cocktail and they are kind! It's a kind of place that you'll always make a friend. My favorite is the summer time on the patio. It's colorful and laid back and they have a good amount space for large groups! There's always something going on at the tavern, whether it's bingo or trivia or live music or even on a night when they don't have anything scheduled, they have a bunch of games like darts and pool and shuffleboard. 100/10 would recommend. Oh, and Maria and Rudi's food? I usually get the nachos or burgers, but everything is good!

I had a delicious pork chop with black eyed pea, corn, okra, and tomato succotash. A glass of red wine and a bottle of beer. Small dining area with a warm welcoming feel. There are tables outside when the weather cooperates. It was a little warm outside for us. The service was good! Our only issues were rounding the block a few times for find parking and 18% gratuity being included with the bill.

It was a nice day and I decided I wanted a patio and some margaritas. I have yet to try Fridas so I…read moregave it a try. I love the sunken patio which is perfect for relaxing in the shade. When we got seated outside by the friendly staff, we were given menus and free chips and salsa. As I nibbled on the chips and salsa which were just okay I browsed the drink menu. There's a full bar here and plenty of options. Over the course of the afternoon I tried the Frida's Rita and the wonderful rabbit. Both drinks weren't in your face with the tequila mezcal, they were mixed nicely and had a well rounded flavor. I much preferred the Woderful rabbit though as it tasted less watered down and the ginger beer paired with the mezcal was almost quenching. Overall if you're looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy Mexican cocktails this is a good spot! We did feel rushed to get out of there, and maybe it was because we weren't ordering food. Overall good experience however.

First time a Frida's with some friends! It's a casual Mexican restaurant that has a HUGE menu. We…read morewere seated quickly upon arrival and immediately served chips and salsa (the salsa was delicious, might I add)! What we ordered: -Taco Salad (added steak) -Shrimp Tacos -Rumba Bowl (added shredded chicken and substituted white rice for Mexican rice) I can only attest to how the Rumba bowl tasted, but everyone's food came out incredibly fast. The bowl was a decent portion. It wasn't a ton of food, but it was the *right* amount of food- a fair serving that I would've made for myself at home. The bowl was good and my friends liked their dishes too. My overall consensus: Frida's is your typical Mexican restaurant. If I lived in this area I may eat here more often, but it's not necessarily something I'm likely to drive too from the outskirts of Hoover. I can probably get slightly cheaper and similar Mexican food closer to home. I'm happy to have tried it!
