    Great time, great cocktails and tasty food. Only possible complaint is if you get the three taco platter, the tacos all need to be the same.

    Told waiter I had listed it was my friend birthday and expected the normal free dessert. Waiter Ashely said she can do the churros as it option but said nothing about that would cost. Felt sneaky how she was trying to get over. Food was not grand at all for the price

    My first time dining here, but it won’t be my last! The Lychee sangria was tasty, as was the guacamole with the fried pork belly, and the street corn. The service and food quality was very good.

    We love the food at Frida's and have been there many times. Tonight the noise level in the restaurant was so loud we couldn't enjoy ourselves. That wasn't helped by the birthday celebration that came with percussion and singing...loud loud singing. Despite this, we will be back because the food here is very fresh and very good. We love the sauces and the mole is terrific. Maybe we will get take out next time

    Very loud (has a DJ) on weekend nights. Not somewhere to go and have dinner conversation. Food was on the small side compared to other Mexican restaurants. Burritos were Qdoba-sized, but came with no sides, not even a garnish. A burrito on a small white plate. Fajitas had no seasoning of any kind so just grilled chicken and peppers plain. No toppings came with fajitas (cheese, guac, sour cream) like other places. Margarita was small (in a highball glass)Will not go back.

    Booked for a corporate work lunch for a group of 17. They only assigned 1 server who moved at a snails pace, I had to go inside and get water and chips and salsa for the table myself. When I asked if he could be helped numerous times since our group was so large I was told he could handle it. It took over 45 just to get water chips salsa and appetizers. Some peoples food came out cold they were slow to replenish waters and sweet tea. Won’t be returning
