The service can get pretty slow at times. As for the food, it's pretty good. They also have complimentary nachos and salsa!

I first came on Wednesday. I got the two taco plate--it was good, had lots of meat. I saw chilaquiles on the menu and decided to come back today. OMG, they were awful. They were $14 plus $2 to add two eggs. $14 was already expensive for chilaquiles so said no to the eggs. Maybe they would have made a difference. I only ate the chicken and some of the chips that were still crunchy.

Anyway, I normally do not do this but I told the waitress they were not that good. She told the manager, and they said no charge for the meal. Great customer service--will definitely be back!!

this place is over priced. service is slow. interior is hidious. servers are rude.

i gave 2 stars only based on some taste in food. wouldn't recommend to any one though

Love the atmosphere and the food! Great patio to sit and people watch and enjoy the weather. Food is really delicious and cocktails are even better. Kids love the table side guacamole!

Crowded for lunch on Cinco de Mayo, but no wait for a table... And the enchilada special is reasonably priced and delicious!

Great salsa, best margaritas in Glendale, possibly the most amazing carnitas EVER and love the outdoor seating too!

Good food and atmosphere. Wife and I love their fish entrees and spicy margaritas. Always nice place to stop after an afternoon of shopping around the Americana.

Great happy hour specials. Otherwise, it's overpriced for the food. Great ambiance, especially the patio with the fire pits.

Skinny magrs for a big guy make me happy

Good food and nice location.

Good drinks, good food, good atmosphere, and a good time. Little more on the expensive side but overall a good place to eat.

Good pork and seafood dishes. Definitely worth checking out.

Mole poblano was great. Good booze and the guacamole is made at the table. Recommend.

Good ambiance, food was good but nothing spectacular

Ambiance was ok. I wish I had made it to happy hour since prices are cheaper. This is a pricey Mexican restaurant in a shopping plaza, so expect lower quality food and higher prices. If you want really good Mexican go to a hole-in-the-wall place. The drinks were good. I had black cherry mojito and my boyfriend had the avion tequila lemonade. we each had beef and chicken tacos with lettuce wraps instead of corn tortillas. They were good, but not worth $13 a plate. We also had a tres leches cake which was really delicious but for $9? Never again.



All in all, we had a fine experience, but I wouldn't go back for non-happy hour prices.



Update - well, I went back for happy hour. MUCH better. My boyfriend and I spent $40, got dinner and drinks and dessert. Worth the price if you can make it. $10 for 5 tacos. The atmosphere around the bar is a lot more fun too.

Try them for Happy Hour!



I frequent Frida often and agree with some of the other reviews. Let's not kid ourselves -- Frida is a mexican restaurant in a high-traffic commercial shopping mall. Service, wait time and food commensurate with the audience it attracts. That said -- I REALLY enjoy the mole and guacamole. Very passable. Very yummy. And I'm a mexican food snob.



That said... I'm recommending for Happy Hour. Cheap drinks and chips right after work, with other dining and entertainment nearby. Fun!

The worse of the worse. I had a date here and this place was a not a good place to be. Slow service. Waiter sucks. Cheap quality mexican food. So DO NOT.

I've been here for dinner twice they have an exceptional service! Their food is a little pricey but I really enjoy going there for a nice evening with family and friends!!!

Seems like a decent place to grab a drink, but I wouldn't eat here again. You're better off saving your money and going to Don Cuco's down the street. They're about equally satiating and there's nothing special about Frida's dressed up El Torito dishes.

This place resembles a restaurant in the same way that a down-on-her-luck drag queen actually resembles a classy dame.



The food is pretty awful, I'm afraid. And the place is noisy at night - don't go here for an intimate date. I understand that their buffet weekend brunch is tasteless but inoffensive, and very, very quiet. That's the best that you can hope for. I'll avoid any discussion about the service from the models ... er ... waiters.
