“ It doesn't get any better than this! The tequila selection alone would rival any tequila shop in Mexico!! Service was amazing, food was even better and again, the tequila was very impressive! We were greeted almost immediately by a very friendly gal that came back quickly to take our drink orders. She was very knowledgeable about the tequila's and helped us make our selection. We ordered tequila and two different margaritas, one being the Ultimate Margarita which was probably the best I've ever had! I wish I could remember the names of the tequila, we ordered two extra anejo's, and they were both so smooth and spicy at the same time! Another lovely, friendly gal brought our drinks out and also took our food order. Again, she was super knowledgeable of the menu and was able to answer all of our questions with ease and familiarity. I wanted both black beans and refried beans mixed together and her answer was absolutely, best of both worlds! Nothing phased her and she smiled the entire time! Our food arrived quickly but not too quickly! Sometimes at Mexican restaurants it seems like it comes out way too fast to be freshly made. This took just the right amount of time and it was nice and piping hot! Let me just say, it was absolutely phenomenal! Every single bite of everything on the plate was delicious! I had the Camarones Gilberto Aceves which was the best camarones dish I've ever had and hubby had the Chiles en Nogada which was super unique and different. The sign says gourmet and they mean gourmet! We shared the lemon cake for dessert and it was also delicious! I highly recommend Frida's and will definitely return if in the area! This is a true gem of a restaurant and Anacortes is lucky to have them! ”
“ Helpful staff, good quality food and great ambiance; what else is needed? It was a rainy day and the restaurant was relatively quiet. The server offered us yummy cabbage soup and chips/salsa, while we waited for our food. ”
“ We had a nice evening sitting outside. These service was meh. I think they tried to be friendly but they were busy and fridas. What I love about this place is the chef is more of an artist. This is different than any other Mexican restaurant. They put a twist on things they have some amazing things on their menu that I'm looking forward to trying the future. I don't know what was in the rice but it was green and was delicious it was soft it was hot and like the restaurant I had gone to the week previous whereI could barely choke it down. There were unique flavors in the coleslaw that you just kept wanting to eat it and figure out what it was. I think a little vinegary too. It was great. The vegetables in the burrito were all cooked so well. I really do honestly believe their chef is an artist. Update: this time we tried both vegetation dishes they offer. One was crepes 'something' & the other not crepes lol (I can't remember name) They were great but pretty much just sauteed veggies. The little green chip dish with black beans mixed in made a great improvement. The rice helped too. The crepes we believe are just thin egg as you can see in a close up photo included. It was alright. Neither sorted a lot of flavor. Needed garlic at least. But overall, we will be back! ”
“ The food was fantastic and the service was great; the gentleman who served us was wonderful. Atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The quality of the food is excellent and the price reflects that a little bit, but it's always so worth it. ”
“ Not a single complaint. The food was excellent, like seriously good. Big portions, even on the “fancier” dishes, complex and nuanced flavors, their salsas and hot sauces are great too. Our server (wish i got her name, lunch on 1/15) was awesome. Attentive, friendly, and generous. Food came in a timely manner AND they gave us complementary sopas while we waited. Will absolutely be back to try more menu items since they have so many interesting options in addition to the classics. Prices are comparable to basic family mexican spots too so definitely worth a try. Got complementary birthday churros too, just wins all around! Thanks Frida’s! ”
“ The mango mousse is SO GOOD. I had half a mind to just buy several of them and take them home. The pistachio dessert is also one of a kind! Mouth watering food and exceptional service. The server was so kind. And helpful when choosing food as they had so many options! Other things about it: A decent amount of seating not too much, really cool atmosphere with the frida theme. Definitely NOT budget friendly. Lots of street parking. ”
