I first bought their Mad Mexican guac from McEwan's and fell in love instantly and when I looked up where else to get it, found out it originated from this restaurant so I had to go and try it. This place is wonderful!! We started off with their guac and they also give you two salsas with chips. We ordered... More

Service was cold and impersonable. Food was quite good but portions were small . Drinks and food very pricey considering portion sizes. Easy parking in public lot next to restaurant. Guacamole was excellent.

I had a wonderful evening at Frida's. The decor is charming and the service is very attentive and friendly. We started off with the Queso Fundido. If you love cheese, this is the dish for you. I then had the Chiles Poblanos Renello, which was delicious. I tried a bite of my husband's herb chicken, and that also tasted excellent.... More

Went here with a group of about 8. The food tasted ok...not great. It wasn't particularly tasty...The service was pretty bad. Whenever we wanted anything we had to work pretty hard to get the attention of any waiter. The cutlery was missing at two places and we only got our water refilled once the whole night. The fire alarm went... More

Best, most innovative Mexican restaurant in town. Not sure why the place isn't packed every night. Been there 4 times already - afraid the quality has gone down a bit since the restaurant offered a Groupon. Best guacamole and churros in town. Also love the chili relleno.

I celebrated ,my birthday at Frida's with friends and had an amazing time! The food and drinks from the appetizer, all the way to the dessert was incredible. The guacamole was to die for! We tried 3 different little bite appetizers that were delicious. They consisted of mushroom empanada, chicken tostada and grilled shrimp. They displayed all three as a... More
