Frida Cantina

I was in Philadelphia for work and the concierge recommended this restaurant. I do wish we had walked as parking is insane in the area. It's all parallel parking and very narrow streets. Warning! There is no AC and it was very hot. It got even hotter because we were eating Mexican food. The guacamole and chips were good. The burritos were excellent! Huge portions! I ate half and had the other half for dinner. The service was excellent and the decor is definitely worth a peek! Great staff, service, and recommendations. They have an extensive menu.

My friend invited me to come get happy hour at this place, and I'm glad we came! We arrived just in time for happy hour which offered a selection of drinks on discount. We got margaritas (mango and peach) for $7 each. I enjoyed the drink and thought it was well-made. For food, I ordered the Milanese de Res sandwich, which was my first time trying this item. I liked all the filling and thought they went well together. Overall, this restaurant has decent prices and great food. The servers were very attentive and kind.

The food was plentiful and delicious. Oscar is a great server. He kept the food and drinks coming. A cute place with a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere . A big plus for them is they are open till 2:00am.

I burst through the doors of Frida Cantina with my friend Zack and we had a purpose and it was fueled by tequila. We made it just in time leaving out jobs early to make it to the 4-6 happy hour that offers $5 drafts and $8 margarita made fresh on point! The atmosphere was inviting with a rustic charm and colorful decor. Especially the most beautiful bar in the city. See photosUpon arriving, we were promptly greeted by Perez, who was friendly and accommodating. He asked for our preference of an assortment of FRESH margarita flavors, and Zack chose mango while I chose classic. We were enamored by how authentic and delicious the drinks were, as always. The tequila was smooth and well-balanced with the other ingredients, making for a refreshing and satisfying beverage.For starters, we ordered the ceviche which was fresh and flavorful, and it was inhaled by the two of us in no time. For our main course, we ordered the suadero tacos, which had a perfect combination of textures and flavors, while Zack ordered steak/chorizo tacos, which were juicy and full of flavor.After happy hour was over, we decided to explore the drink menu and were imbibed by mojitos and mezcal margs. The mojito was made with fresh mint and lime, and the mezcal margarita had a smoky and complex flavor that was perfectly balanced with the other ingredients.Overall, I highly recommend Frida Cantina. The quality of the food and drink is top-notch, and the service is exceptional. We spent $20 plus an Uber ride because we knew Frida does not f around on their quality of food and drink. This happy hour went down in history as a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine and drinks.Note happy hour is 4-6 Monday -Friday Uber/Lyft highly recommendedGreat for date night Authentic Margs made with all fresh ingredients like agave.

Delicious and affordable! Unique spice combo for interesting and deep flavors - loved both the Al pastor and choripapa (chorizo and potato). Comes with free chips and salsa. Fun and festive decoration - the tile work is beautiful! Individually carved chairs and hand painted murals.

If you want to get good drinks without spending too much , come here Monday- Friday before 6 for happy hour. I had mojito and it's perfectly refreshing. Staff was very attentive and helpful. Good and spicy red salsa served with chips.Guacamole is ok. Carnitas burrito is mediocre. Had little pieces of pork mostly fat.I ordered salad with shrimp. They asked me how many shrimps I wanted. Shrimps are big and perfectly cooked In summary, I recommend the drinks but not the food.

Delicious food. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good prices. Full bar with tasty cocktails. Clean.

Frida Cantina is an awesome spot to stop for Mexican food on a Friday night before going to a concert at the Wells Fargo Center (10 minutes away). On weeknights they have $7 margaritas from 4-6 pm. The house margarita was delicious and you could definitely taste the booze. They give you red and green salsa with chips on the table, both were very good. I started off with a chips and guacamole, which was really tasty and had a light kick. I split the very large chicken burrito with someone and was totally satisfied, but my very big eater friend was able to finish an entire one. The tacos seemed expensive on the menu but they were HUGE. We really enjoyed the tofu tacos, which had soft shells. Looking forward to coming again and trying the ceviche, which looked like a really nice specialty of this place.

Love this place! Go there at least twice a month... The food is good and the drinks are great!!!

If I could give this place a six. I would. We were in South Philly. Looking for a place to grab lunch. My wife loves Frida Kahlo's art work. So we decided to stop in. The young lady that took care of us was cheerful, friendly, accomamadating, and helpful. The place is great. Paintings and decorations on point. Ok you get it. Moving in to the food.. I had a burrito with thin steak. My wife had sandwhich with marinated pork, Mexican cheese, lettuce, tomato.. The portions were huge. The food was delicious. It's rare I have to ask for a take home box. Later I finished it. Was excellent even left over. I highly recommend this place..
