Read More On Citysearch gmlsports 2/28/2010 - Great Mole SauceDespite other reviews, I've been to Frida's with my friends and family on numerous occasions and have really enjoyed it. The burrito with mole sauce is delicious and reasonably priced. It's a great lunch place. Beautiful interior.
My friends have enjoyed it. I'm one of those who easily complain when things don't go well, but so far, the food and service has been good. However, we tend to g...

They sat us in front of an open door where it was FREEZING. There were other tables available, so I didn't understand why they would do that.
I requested that they move us...and they did to a better table. We went to the buffet and the food was cold.
We had to s...
Read More On Citysearch EnergizerVanny 6/18/2009 - HorribleI recently went to Friday in Eastlake and too received horrible service. The food is not all that or them to charge an arm and the leg too..I guess they really want to get their investment back. I went with my husband, apetizer & regular drinks, two items and I paid $90!
Go to ALEJANDRO's instead, the music is better, ends later, not so expensive, food is better and they treat you like you are...

Read More On Citysearch CSMobileUser3 5/18/2009 - Dog foodThey need to read the label on the cans of food the open to serve people. Alpo is not for humans. Do not go here. It was the worst Mexican I have ever had. Any review that says it's good never had real Mexican food. Your better off with a taco shop or taco bell than this waste of money.

This is one of the better restaurants at the Otay Ranch mall. It is not a chain, so I find that the staff and service is better. Their food is good and they also have a great area for cocktails. Try Frida's next time you have to wait 90 minutes for a table at Cheesecake Factory...you won't be disappointed.

Read More On Citysearch mpmexican21 1/27/2009 - high-end dining restaurantDespite the fact that the restaurant is in the sprawling Otay Ranch Town Center mall Frida's is a custom built high-end dining restaurant - the second one after the first one in Brentwood. It is a large rectangular building designed around a square central patio in which the mostly glass walls open into a kind of extended veranda set-up. The central patio features an old olive tree which is plant...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 12/2/2008 - Not another mexican restaurantThe ambiance is wonderful inside, like a warm house to eat in. I didnt expect anything more than regular mexican food but if i were to guess what was authentic, this would be it. The steak specials were to die for and the prices are just a tad more than other fast food restaurants, but you get your money's worth with great atmosphere, good service and not so ordinary mexican cuisine.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 10/30/2008 - Best Mexican in California even better than all of the places in LA and SF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I was their with some friends looking for some REAL mexican food and we were surprised. This high quality food is amazing. We tried a lot from the menu. Ceviches (very very fresh and the girls loved it), Mole (wow, a good mole in town!!), and I had the arrachera and how its presented is very nice. Not to mention the margaritas and excellent service!!
Guys, congratulations and if you have speci...

This is the first restaurant in San Diego that I could find that serve this exquisit dish. We expected a very small restaurant with no design, however our eyes iluminated as soon as we got in. Service was very good and the margaritas we're delicious.
Very nice place to have lunch and get away from the office routine. Wo...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 9/24/2008 - Great ambiance for lunchMy best friend and I had a wonderful lunch at Frida's. We enjoyed the outdoor waterfall and attentive service from Saul. The chef even accommodated a special request for my friend. Overall, the food was tasty and filling.
Read More On Citysearch lkellis 9/15/2008 - Worst customer service Ive ever seen!On top of mediocre mexican food, the service is the worst Ive ever experienced. The whole restaurant operates as if they are doing YOU a favor by serving you. The food is below average for above average prices. The most irritating thing is that our waiter, as another reviewer mentioned, didnt offer to bring us back our change- I guess he thought a 30% tip was standard- for SUBSTANDARD service!...
Read More On Citysearch caricia78 9/5/2008 - MANAGEMENT JUST DOESN'T GET IT!Well, I am not surprised by what I am seeing today on just about every review of Frida restaurant. It?s quite sad really- such a beautifully decorated restaurant in a wonderful setting- but they have missed the mark in service. After coming across Frida's on a stroll in the mall, my husband & I thought it would be the perfect venue for hosting a fundraising event for a pediatric cancer foundati...
Read More On Citysearch McMahanCV 7/19/2008 - FRIDA Managers are UNPROFESSIONAL! The customer is NEVER RIGHT or RESPECTED!I have been to Frida twice & both times I had unimpressive meals. The 1st time I ordered the Mole Poblano and it arrived to me warm, I mean luke warm. Just to give you an idea of how bad it was the meal came with a gordita (a melted cheese filled dinner roll). The cheese in the gordita was cold & hard as if the plate was ready long before it was actually brought out. Usually something like this ...
Read More On Citysearch ReynaB 6/6/2008 - I was surpiresedI came here only because it was close to the movie theater that my girl and I were seeing a movie at and we had a couple hours to kill. We just did the appetizer thing, I got a quesadilla, and she ordered a couple small tacos. I wasn't expecting very much, but was surprised at how good the salas were and how well they went with our food. I essentially had a whole meal, as I filled up on the ex...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 6/4/2008 - The WORST Mexican Restaurant in San DiegoTerrible service and bland food!! Do not come here if you have any clue about Authentic Mexican Food! I came to this place with high expectations with my best friend on opening week. We waited about 30 minutes for ANYONE to wait on us. The waitress we ended up with was terrible and made us wait forever just to get melted and runny Margaritas. I ordered Ceviche Acapulco style but they brought...

We had a business meeting with 4 people and everyone liked the food. The hostess was super attentive as were the rest of the stafff. The food was very good. i had a skirt steak that was perfectly cooked to medium rare. The table salsas were very tasty, while not exceptionally ...
Read More On Citysearch 6672042 5/13/2008 - Horrible Manager and Customer ServiceWe dined at Frida on 2 other occassions in the last month and figured it would be a great place to take mom on Saturday for Mother's Day (Since Mexican people always celebrate Mother's Day on the 10th). The prior two occasions I had tried 2 separate dishes and welcomed the opportunity to share my taste with my family. I recommended a dish to mom and dad and my wife proceeded to order something ne...
Read More On Citysearch ECerda 5/12/2008 - >$200 down the drain!Met with family, sat at the bar, the bartender was more intererested in flirting with some ladies at the bar than getting our drinks, all he had to do was open a bottle of beer!! When I called him over, he acted like I was "interrupting" his conversation and practically threw me the napkin. It was 7pm on a Tuesday evening, there was nobody there, he had all the time in the world to help, but I gu...

Myself and 2 girlfriends ate at Frida's tonight and although the food was OK, the service was atrocious. The martinis were terrible, we couldn't figure out if it was bad vodka or a bad bartender, we ordered TWICE, not drinking EITHER, but of course were still charged $15....
they waitstaff took plates off the table that we were still eating... one of...

Read More On Citysearch BRUNNN 4/27/2008 - Mediocre at bestWe went on Valentine's day. I had made a reservation over 2 weeks in advance for 7:00 for a party of four. There was almost nothing romantic about this night. For starters, we were not seated until 9:30 and this is only because we complained several times. There was a lack of forethought and it seemed to be a big surprise that it could possibly rain in Chula Vista in February and therefore one q...
