Frida’s Mexican Grill - Northport, Alabama

Deborah Smithson

After reading several recent negative reviews, I was leery of the service, wait time, and even quality of food. Our visit was at 6:45 on a Thursday. There was no wait time, but several families left as we walked in. Most tables were taken and several larger groups were enjoying birthday dinners. (The birthday girls all enjoyed serenades from the staff.?) Our waiter promptly took our drink orders and brought them to us. We ordered items from the Mesquite Grill. The bean soup came out quickly and was very flavorful. Our two meals were grilled tilapia and grilled shrimp, both with cilantro lime rice. The shrimp were big and cooked great. The tilapia was a little tougher on the thin edges but still very good. We’ll be back for sure!

Prices had been raised from the menu we found on Google, so I’m posting pics of their updated menu. Hope you have an enjoyable lunch or dinner at Frida’s.

Good reliable Mexican food! The lunch specials are great deals. I got the Frida lunch nachos and it was very filling and tasted amazing.

Ordered Chicken Taco Salad. Meat was hot, shredded lettuce was crisp. Waiter was nice and smiling. Overall service was good only downside ordered a sweet tea was brought unsweet tea. I like both so not the much of a mark against but to some here in south that would be negative

This was just ok for me, nothing exceptional. Service lackluster. Requested extra napkins received two. Large portions for meal yet just didn't seem exceptional quality wise. I was not even found of the salsa and cheese. The chips seemed to be on the edge of being stale.

Polo G was awesome, clean establishment with friendly staff large selection of food items on their menu easy access and lots of parking.
We order a guacamole and Tacos Mexican Tacos and both were outstanding and nice portion for the price!
Rice was a little bland (for my taste)could use more seasoning but cooked to perfection!!
A must come back to it and enjoy again!

Our to go place for Mexican food. The best salsa and chips in town, and we tried many. Always friendly and fast service.

Not one to leave reviews, but my parents picked up two Togo plates of rice 2 bags of chips and a salsa and was charged $46! I tried to cancel but they showed up to the table with it, and my mother didn't have a heart to tell them no, so she just paid. $46 dollars? I feel as if they took advantage of my mother as other places we called after were just under half of what they charged. Margaritas are great, food is okay, but this is not okay. Thanks for taking advantage of your customers who frequent the place!

I have been holding this review in for awhile.
Here it goes.
The experience that Myself and my family had here was absolutely, hands down, the bottom line worst service that I have ever had at a restaurant in my entire existence.
When we walked in there was nobody to greet us (it was busy) after 15 minutes of waiting we were shown to a table and our orders were taken. This is where it went downhill because that is the last time our waiter ever came to our table. After 35 minutes of waiting our food was brought over by kitchen staff (No issue with that) however our food was luke warm at best but tasted okay. The issue was the staff, our waiter never returned to our table, we waited and waited and then noticed he was at other tables receiving cash tips. I had to flag down a passing kitchen staff member just to ask if we could get our bill and to go boxes. When I went to pay the pay screen asked me to leave a tip, I informed the hostess that our waiter never came back to our table and that I don't agree with these tip percentages because we had received horrible service. The response was very rude. I then asked if the customers who were handing the waiter cash tips had to pay another tip at the counter as they paid for the meal. The question was dismissed and I received a rude response. I will never eat here again.
