I've eaten at Frida's at least once in each of the last 13 years and have never been disappointed. But it is the international atmosphere that draws interesting personalities. I was last at Frida's on March 8th. The cheese enchildas were excellent and Tiffany was engaging. More

It's dark and noisy. The food is average. The service was poor with the waiter double charging for dishes ordered by other people. It was so dark that we needed a flashlight to read the charges on the ticket. Don't recommend it! More

Fair prices for pretty decent Mexican food (don't expect REAL Mexican food in Guatemala). Staff is friendly and the place is tricked out in Frida kitch. Worth a visit. More

This is abolutlry fantastic. For those that love Frida , which we do it is an absolute must. Fantastic paintings, t-shirts and great Mexican food. My only upset was that they didn't have many of the T Shirts available. A great place with fine food and a great tribute to Frida. Well worth a visit. More

Ate there our first night in Antigua. Had a decent tortilla soup on a 2 for 1 special which made it reasonable, otherwise not really a good value. The homemade flan was disappointing as the texture suggested it had been cooked at too high a temperature. The service and atmosphere were pleasant. More

I was disappointed with this restaurant. I love Mexican food & was looking forward to eat there but looking at the menu I didn't really see real authentic Mexican food on it! The food they served might have been good, but it was not Mexican food... so if you want Anthentic Mexican food, don't go there ;-( More

The drink specials on certain nights are two for one. The Margaritas were excellent. Food was good but not great. Fun place to go have a drink and relax. More

There's never a time I visit la Antigua that I do not stop in to Frida's for a margarita (or three). It's a friendly, funky spot located almost directly under la Antigua's iconic Arch. The upbeat staff is super-friendly and there is often live music. Alas, if only the food were better. It's just ... mediocre. but that won't stop... More

Not sure why this place is so popular - the food is very average and portions are small compared to the price. There are so many better places to go to, so I say don't bother with Fridas. More

I have eaten in frida's twice and both times we really liked the food but on both occasions we were treated like 2nd class citizens. The second time was worse, when we were asked to move from our table (which we were happy with) in order to help them accommodate a large group. The icing on the cake being that... More
