Frida's Hawaii

Love this place! I come here pretty often with my grandma and we always love it here. The food is excellent, the service is good, and it has great ambiance. I definitely recommend coming here.I usually get their lengua tacos or the super lengua buritto. But this most recent visit I got the mole enchiladas and they were very yummy as well.

So when Fran C. recommends a Mexican restaurant, believe me I listen. And when he is willing to drive out to Ewa Beach, I'm already salivating.Frida's, named after the Mexican artist I'm guessing due to the restaurant decor, serves familiar items such as tacos, burritos, salads, chimichangas, nachos, and so on.Fran C. had the chicken burrito and I ordered the veggie burrito that came piping hot in all its wrapped glory. Inside, the blend of rice, beans, peppers, onions and spices hit the spot and was even better with Frida's amazing sauces! Definitely a must. Cathy I. ordered the fajitas and wow was that the right move. She had two fully loaded plates (see pics) with the sizzling mix of chorizo, chicken, shrimp and veggies taking center stage. The side of tortilla, guac salad and rice (she won't eat beans!) was the complement to the meal. While all was tasty, she was disappointed that the proteins were slightly over cooked from sitting on the hot plate. The complimentary chips and salsa was gobbled quickly so I ordered fries for the table. A few pieces seemed undercooked, but who can really complain when it's served fresh and hot?Friendly wait staff who kept filling our water glasses topped off the pleasant experience. Go early because it gets packed very quickly! I want to go back and soon!

I am obsessed with this place!!! If it isn't for their warm, welcoming and loving space, it's the love that clearly packs in all of their dishes! You know a mexican restaurant is good when even their chips and salsa is good! I especially enjoyed the warm welcome I always get here with aunty in the back! I went twice and never got her name!The first time i went (last saturday), i could not wait to come back and try this place again. 3 days later... Anyways, i got the birria quesadilla on Saturday and it was PACKED! The meat was so moist and juicy, but not greasy at all! Probably the most flavorful, more of a buritto like because of it's thickness(not a complaint). I love onions and cilantro, but it was not overpowering at all! You would think "nahhh, they cant fit too much cheese here!" But you are easily mistaken! It was sooo cheesy still and with the flavorful consome... again, not greasy, but tasty. Even down to the rice, packed of flavor! Then today, i tried the fish tacos... as suggested by one of their MANY regulars... the grill/char on the fish added another depth of umami/salty goodness. But everything was sooo light, but again "packs a punch of flavor". This place was just packed of LOVE and flavor! Overall, definitely a small space, with a whole lot of love and flavorful goodness in everything! You are going to want to cool down with some Horchata that taste soo fresh! I could not get enough! I would probably try the Fajitas next. I know for sure... whatever it is, i won't be disappointed! Also, don't underestimate how "quiet" it looks with very little or few customers because there is always someone going in and out of this place to order take out! I've met a few regulars already with the laundry list of their favorites! Just go now! Ahaha

Frida's in Ewa Beach is still my favorite on the West side, now with more reasons!Side story: Calling the restaurant is hit or miss based on past visits. One time, hubby and I really wanted to eat at Frida's, but they weren't picking up their phones (maybe because it was the last hour?), so we drove by to order in person. Keep that in mind if time is limited for you. Anyway, on to the real review...On Mexican Independence Day, I decided to call in an order of a shrimp burrito (one of my usual orders here). I picked up and paid for my burrito. When I arrived home 15 minutes away, I took a bite of the burrito, which was actually a California burrito! I was conflicted because I love California burritos too, so I wasn't too mad, but I did pay for a shrimp burrito. I decided to call Frida's again just to provide feedback on the order mixup. The lady was so apologetic and even invited me to return to the restaurant to pick up another shrimp burrito! She comped the California burrito! This time, the shrimp burrito was labeled!I wanted to make that phone call before posting anything on Yelp. I'm thankful for the free food on top of the already tasty flavors. Mistakes happen and I wanted to tell them of the mixup personally. Good thing I didn't have any dietary restrictions and that I lived 15 minutes away. I'm glad they labeled my corrected order. I will keep coming to Frida's Ewa Beach, either for a shrimp burrito, CA burrito, flautas, or chile relleno! As a coworker said, "Frida's...you're from San Diego. That good, huh?" "Yes, it is!"

Frida's Hawaii is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to! It is conveniently located in Ewa which is near home so that's a plus! Staff are so friendly and you're warmly welcomed by the staff when entering. To start, they served complimentary salsa and chips, which was a great start to the meal. For our entree, I ordered their Supreme Burrito ($19.95) and let me tell you, it was massive! Packed with tender steak, succulent shrimp, and bursting with flavor in every bite. I opted to make it a plate for an extra $4, and it was totally worth it. The plate comes with perfectly seasoned homemade rice and flavorful beans that complemented the burrito so well. Also enjoyed their different sauces which was a nice touch to every bite of my burrito. They also sell Mexican soda which doesn't taste any different than American soda but it does give a vibe when eating. They also have an array of desserts to choose from. My favorite is the fried ice cream. If you're in the area and craving authentic Mexican food, Frida's is a must-visit! Food is amazing and service was excellent.

I was looking on Yelp for some Mexican restaurants, as me likey some Mexican food!!!My love for Mexican food started when I used to work a lot in California back in da 90's & 2000's, and just so happens that one of my good friends is Hispanic, so he turned me onto some of the BESTEST Mexican food in Cali.!After looking at da Yelp site and checkin' out some pics & reading a few great review from by Yelp buddies - Iris T., Aggie C., Irene M., & Val D., I was SOLD!!!This past Friday I met up with my homie - Nate Y. as I had to pick him up from his work place in Halawa, as his new ride broke down. Since we were not too far from Ewa Beach, I told him that I'd take him down for some Mexican for pau hana Friday.Frida's Hawaii was da place of choice, as you can find this little Mexican restaurant in a small strip mall called - Ewa Pointe Marketplace.I never knew about this strip mall, as it was my very first time here. Lots of eatery businesses here, and finding Frida's Hawaii was pretty easy.Lucky we came here early, as it wasn't too crowded when we arrived, but a quick half an hour later, this restaurant was PACKED with folks, and also there were a lot of people going in/out of the restaurant for take out.Upon getting seated, menus, water, and complimentary chips & salsa were delivered to our table very quickly.After looking over the menu, my friend ended up ordering the - "Diego Combo" ($15.95) - I'm not sure if it was some kinda rolled taco, but it contained the following - (1) Green Chicken, & (1) Red Ground Beef topped with Cheese. His plate also came with rice & beans.As for me, I ended up ordering the - Super Burrito ($16.95) - The Super Burrito had rice, beans, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, & you had a choice of meat (I got the shredded chicken). To make it a plate, I added on rice & beans for an additional ($3.50).What can I say about the grubbage?Food was very good, not overly large portions here, but the food was tasty, and the prices here were very reasonable.The service here was friendly, but I think our waitress was overwhelmed because this Mexican restaurant was supah busy! Not once did she come back to check on us, once she delivered our food. It would have been nice to get more water, as both of us had run out, and since she was so busy, I didn't want to flag her down.Overall, a pleasant dining experience! Good food, fast & friendly service, and parking at this strip mall was easy access!I would come back here again, should I be cruisin' da Ewa Beach area, and Jonesing for Mexican.

the service is always wonderful. The ladies always were cheerful and helpful when you are indecisive. Definitely a great choice to bring the family.

Frida's Hawai'i is in our neighborhood, so we decided to swing by for a quick bite. I ordered one street taco--just one. It was literally two bites and cost $4.00 per taco. Definitely not worth the price; it would be better served as an appetizer plate with four tacos at a more economical price. I was extremely disappointed. My husband ordered the chicken fajita burrito. He said it was alright, but not for $18.00 per burrito. The restaurant was quiet, and the service was quick and friendly.We will not be returning customers.

Frida's is our favorite Mexican restaurant on the west side! A hidden jem of Ewa beach for sure ! Staff is so friendly. Chips and salsa is on the house when you dine in and everything is so fresh. Ambiance, I feel at home when I come to Frida's. In addition to the enchiladas and burrito, we also had the carne asada fries. We were so hungry and it was so good that's I forgot to take a picture . We come here at least once a month. So see you next month Frida's !

Robert was my cashier!!! Very nice very good. Birria tacos were a good recommendation. He know whassup
