We love Frida's!! Yesterday we took my mom out for her birthday to her favorite restaurant - Frida's. It was a gorgeous evening so we sat outside. The staff, as always, were super sweet, attentive and efficient. The food was great! They have a large selection and it suited the meat eaters, the gluten free and vegetarians in our party. They surprised my mom with a sombrero, song and a delicious/festive fried ice cream desert. By the way, they have a great happy hour!! Highly recommend.

Valentina was our server and she was amazing! She asked all the right questions to help us choose the perfect drinks and food. It's been a long time since we've been excited about going out for Mexican food in Traverse City. Now we know where we'll be going.

This place was awesome and beautiful! It was decorated for Halloween and they did a fantastic job! The food was great and the daiquiri was the best one I've ever had! And I want to complain about drinks when I go out I couldn't complain about this one. Our server was very friendly and attentive.. The whole staff was full of smiles which is something you rarely see. I would highly recommend checking them out.

I went here for the first time and I had great service. Recommendations were helpful and our food was all really good. I would absolutely come back!

The food was great, and the whole restaurant theme is very nice. We shared a Diego meal for two, and it was more than enough.

I was hoping to love this place based off the reviews, but unfortunately it didn't do it for me. I will say, the atmosphere was great! The food came out very fast! The portion size for the lunch specials are very small, but I will say, the rice and beans were 10/10 delicious. The shredded beef was also very good, as well as the queso! Chips and Salsa are NOT free. For the cost, I would have expected more chips, or at least free refills. Service was ok. Our waitress never checked on us, we never got refills on our drinks. The entire experience was just mediocre.
