Frida

Regularly dine here and love introducing my friends and family to Fridas. Great range of cocktails and various margarita flavours, always love getting a different drink each visit. Best part is the service, waiters are so friendly and attentive. Tasty food and usually grab the nachos or quesadillas - perfect for sharing.

Went there for 1st time with a friend on sat night..the place is so vibrant with nice interior..was very busy on weekend night so took long to get our food on the table however food was so yum that's worth waiting. M pure vegetarian so had ordered veg tri color with extra Mexican rice and veg fajitas. I personally prefer hot ...n trust me food was so yum hot was surprised to have such fingerlicking food in veg ...cheers for amazing chef ‍ must go place for yum food vibrant feel especially on weekends

An absolute gem! The food and drinks were phenomenal and would totally recommend this place to friends and family. The customer service was amazing. I would return. 10/10 :

This was our first dinner in Auckland after a very long flight - right in the Viaduct restaurant district overlooking the harbor. Great location! We unfortunately missed happy hour but sat on the patio. Service was a bit slow but staff was friendly. We had to figure out that you need to go up to the bar to order. Our server forgot about our ceviche but all the food was good! Hubs got the strawberry basil marg and I had a glass of sauv blanc. The ceviche was good but there was not enough ceviche - way more chips, so they should fix the ratio. My barbacoa tacos were simple with just the barbacoa, onion and guac but they were delicious! My husband loved his enchiladas as well. Great spot with a few service things to work on but we enjoyed it.

Not quite like it was but Friday is always fun. I can recommend the 'beer-gritas' A perfect location for a quick meal before hitting the Viaduct bars. Service is good but still missing the old atmosphere. EnjoyFood: 4/5

Very disappointed. As soon as we got to the restaurant, I asked the manager if there was a table available for 3 people, who rudely approached us to a free table. The only good thing to highlight about this place was the excellent attention from the waiter we don't know his name but he was a young boy from Chile-Concepción who was very friendly and attentive to our table all the time. The food was slow to arrive but as it was New Years and it was very busy it was not a bother. We ordered two quesadillas and a Carne Asada. They looked great but once we tried it we were very frustrated. The roast beef with potatoes was totally cold. Very unpleasant to eat red and cold meat. Both quesadillas were VERY dry but the worst was the lamb quesadilla which had NO cheese at all. Honestly very disgusting to have to pay $160 for such a bad dinner. I do not recommend the place at all and of course I will not go again.

We came here for a few drinks in the sun. Every other place by the viaduct was heaving so could only get a table here. We decided to ignore that it was the only place that had tables as they had a good happy hour deal on. We ordered watermelon margaritas. I know it’s happy hour but if you plan to serve half a margarita then it’s not happy hours in my mind. The drink didn’t taste a thing like watermelon, it just tasted like sugar. Would not recommend and will not be back.

Absolutely taken aback by the quality of the service at Frida Cocina. I visited this restaurant for my friends birthday and from the moment we walked through the door, we felt so welcome. Else I think that is how you spell it was our main server and she was impeccable. She was so accommodating and had such a vibrant attitude. The Pork Burrito I had ordered was so juicy and tasty and the jumbo cocktails were actually jumbo. Will recommend this place to anyone that asks for a place to eat. 10/10

Wandered into here for dinner on Monday night and was blown away by everything. Drinks were great, really refreshing and super delicious one classic margarita, one watermelon. Food was amazing, guacamole on top of everything was a definite highlight. Staff were friendly and professional. Place was busy for a Monday night, but it was worth the wait times. I could not recommend it more.

Great little find right on the water. Dined on a friday night, service was friendly and as quick as they could be with how busy it was. Chicken quesadillas and margs sure hit the spot!
