I went 2 nights in a row and both times were amazing. The wait was a little bit long but that’s just cause it’s so popular. Everything was worth the wait, the staff has always been fantastic. The past 2 nights I went I was helped by zulay and Gilbert. Night 1 I had to step out to go take care of something and she made sure my table was taken care of and even when I returned with an extra person she made a point to make sure they were taken care of as well. We ended up staying past closing and the staff made sure to not make us feel rushed or in the way. Night 2 we had went to celebrate 2 birthdays and Gilbert was our server. Gilbert has been our server a couple of times before and he always makes everyone at the table feel welcome and taken care of. With a group of 11 it’s hard to go places for celebrations but he handled our large party like a boss. Drinks were never empty and he was so very friendly. I have always recommended la Frida to people around me but the past 2 nights just put it at the top of my list. Thank you both for making the experience fantastic.

Phenomenal Mexican place that takes the flavors and colors of Mexican food to an awing level. Food is delicious and beautifully presented and all flavors simply meld and melt on the palate. Really fantastic place for fancy dinners, dates, and family outings all at once. Service is excellent; drink and food orders are taken promptly by the kindliest waiters. The chef herself often walks the restaurant floor and checks in with diners creating such a wonderful feeling of homeliness. Be sure to take a look at the menu of the month. The Magdalena Enchiladas from the regular menu are a must-have, and the custard dessert is a delicious and cooling way to end dinner. Wait for a table can be an 1+ hour due to the popularity of the restaurant, but it is well worth the wait. You can go across the street to the bar next to the Goodwill if you like, but don’t spoil your appetite.

We never make it to this part of town so we stopped by and tried this place out. Food was great. Drinks were good. Some a little on the sweet side but that happens. The bacon wrapped peppers with shrimp and cream cheese was delicious. They were huge. We ordered the monthly specials. The Barrio Barbacoa was tasty maybe a little dry but mixing it up and adding salsa and pickled onions saved the dryness for the most part. The Birria tacos were delicious and the consomme satisfied us. The ice cream cake was the best! Highly recommend that cinnamon and vanilla dessert of deliciousness. They gave is samples of the sauces and the mole tasted good.... Will have to come back and try that next time. Our server was attentive and patient with us. Place is small so there was an almost 25 minute wait so plan accordingly!
