Frida Mexican Cuisine

I am always skeptical of non-vegan mexican restaurant’s vegan tacos. Often lacking in flavor or slathered in vegan cheese or some other horrible thing - but NOT Frida’s!!! Their cauliflower vegan tacos were amazing. Large serving too, if you make it a combo. I split that with my girlfriend and it was a nice size. Also comes with delicious black beans & rice. For a drink, I got the piña colada 🤤

Everything here exceeded our expectations - the waiter was caring and helpful, the dining room, with sports on TVs throughout, managed to be quiet enough for conversation, and the Mexican food (even the fountain drinks and a margarita) was especially good. The chips and salsa brought quickly to the table were notably fresh and tasty. Marinated carnitas, defatted but still very flavorful, was blended with perfect refried beans, bright guacamole and seasoned rice- not just randomly plopped into a tortilla wrap. We asked for more on the side and it was a perfect blend of chocolate and mild+ spices. A satisfying, fun place that seems reliable across the menu. We love famous and pioneering La Taqueria where we live (San Francisco), but nevertheless, Frida did not disappoint.

Overall, satisfies those cravings for delicious Mexican cuisine. Guac was fresh, enchiladas were laid out perfectly with plenty of sauce (my favorite was the verde). The margaritas were the true highlight, for 14 dollars you get a strong pour and good flavor. Service was warm and friendly. Had a really good ambiance especially at happy hour. Tres leches cake could have been a little more saturated for my tastes. Would definitely return for seconds. Seems like a very well thought out, locally owned establishment.
