FRIDA southwest

Frida's new summer menu is here and it is not disappointing a single soul.

The craft cocktails are of course knocking everyone's socks off. My favorite is currently the "Million Dollar Man." It's so smooth with a refreshing lychee taste on the back end.

As far as food, I have managed to eat my way through:
The crab dip
The heart of palm ceviche- which was incredibly wowing and beyond fresh!
The blacken redfish etouffee- twice. TWICE!
The avocado risotto
And of course all of my normal menu favorites.

Don't walk, RUN! And tell them I sent you.

The price was too expensive, the food was okay not too flavorful, the staff were very friendly, and the napkins left a fuzz all over everything. It made the experience feel unsanitary, especially when they brought the chips for the queso in a bowl with the napkin in it. Some fuzz came off with the chips. It got onto my mom's clothes and when I wiped my face with it I got a hair fuzz in my mouth. Gross!

The restaurant seems to be aiming for a minimalist style, but could use some southwestern or Mexican style paintings to make it interesting to look around at.

Highly recommend this place! A friend recommended it to us and it did not disappoint.

The Good:

- Our waiter Noah was a delight! He was very present and did a great job taking care of us. I disclosed to Noah that i have a pretty bad sesame allergy and he confirmed with the kitchen that everything would be safe for me to eat.
-We went for brunch specifically - the food is excellent. Lots of great options to choose from. I had the breakfast tacos and a friend ordered the Croissant French Toast to share - it was a crowd pleaser. Everyone else enjoyed what they ordered too.
- Great ambiance. Lots of open space and seating options.

The Bad:

- None! I would definitely come back next time im in OKC.

Another great experience here! Great menu, great food, great service!
Tortilla soup is always great. The fish and dessert was wonderful!!

We absolutely love this place! Do not miss out we sit outside and it was so nice! The waitress Betsy was amazing! The food is full flavor with lots of layers no matter what you get !!

Trendy restaurant that was a let down again. We tried brunch at Frida Southwest. My wife had the bloody marry which she said was very good. I had the salted caramel latte, which was good but small. We ordered the cinnamon roll that looked amazing but was very dry, lacked taste, despite the frosting. I believe it was over cooked because the bottom was rock hard. She had the seafood tamales which she didn't like and I had the shrimp and grits which I felt were not impressive. The amount of flies we were shooshing away from our food was disgusting. I would suggest having drinks and not ordering food. Would not recommend this restaurant. Maybe dinner would be better???

One of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had. The staff were so sincere and kind and gracious, and the ambiance was warm and inspiring of rich conversation. We shared several appetizers and a side dish, each with such incredible layers of flavor. A truly wonderful place that I highly recommend.

On this special Mother's Day, my revisit to Fridas was nothing short of exceptional. Previously dazzled by their brunch, dinner proved equally impressive. The warm welcome by the lovely hostess set the tone for an evening of attentive service, notably from our server, Arantxa, who offered excellent recommendations and consistently checked on us. The highlight of my meal was the Chilean Seabass, which was delightfully tender and flavorful, truly melting in my mouth. My son's enchiladas were also a hit, leaving us both thoroughly impressed. Fridas remains a gem with its stellar food and service, and I eagerly anticipate exploring more of their menu on future visits.

This place-- fantastic! I made the mistake of not booking a reservation early, especially for a Friday night. They get PACKED! I showed up around 745/8pm, the patio was open for immediate seating. It was a little chilly, but they did have outdoor heaters.

Our waitress was amazing, I wish I got her name, but the staffing here is wonderful. If whiskey is your thing, they have a full bar and they make THE BEST whiskey sour I've ever had, and the only way to have them is with whites.

We started with the heart of palm "calamari" (vegan), and it was okay, different but not bad! I ordered the sugarcane scallops for my entree and delicious! It was cooked to perfection, great texture and freshness, and I loved that they were bacon wrapped. The sauce paired so nicely with the dish. My friend opted for the braised short rib, and they enjoyed their meal as well.

Overall, the experience was amazing and I'd highly recommend!

Our waitress was amazing. She was so sweet and polite. The decor inside is really beautiful and we were in love with the glasses and plates used.

I had a vegan coffee cocktail and we shared vegan carrot cake. It was all very delicious. Our water was constantly refilled and the staff were all very kind.

The bathroom was not clean but it was all pink and pretty! The music was a bit loud at one point I couldn't hear a word my husband was saying.

They had parking available and I definitely want to come try dinner here.
