Reviews for Frida's Patio Modern Mexican Cuisine in Cary, NC
This is an adorable restaurant. It has an indoor and outdoor option. The food was so yummy. It has a small menu but it is worth... a try. Read more
Ate here Fri 7/22/2022 about 5:00 in the evening...it was not very busy and we were seated quickly. I have delayed in my review... because I'm so torn over it. The atmosphere is cute, outdoor seating available, food is good but pricey. Ex: A small bowl(3oz), not a large table side bowl of guacamole, is $8. Note: Gonza offers salsa, guac and cheese dip for $8. You def need toask about prices ahead of time and especially If substituting brands of Tequila! The staff is very young and inexperienced, inmy opinion, in customer service. I was accused of being passive aggressive when asking about pricing- believe me, I was veryclear and direct in my questions. This situation should have been handled by a manager but one never came by our table. We werenot refusing to pay, we just needed clarification and reasoning; to no avail, so we left to never return. It's a shame becauseit's my neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Read more
I hardly leave reviews but we had a terrible experience. The air conditioning was not working well so it was hot inside. It... would have been nice to be told that when we arrived. The beer was not cold at all. Just getting an extra plate for a sharedmeal took really long after our meal arrived. The waitresses were kind but it’s evident the management and ownership iswhat’s the issue here. Read more
The only reason I didn’t give this place five stars is because it was quite toasty in there. They certainly didn’t have it... nice and cool for this hot July day! As far as the food goes it was delicious. Restaurant wasn’t very busy so my service wasquick, the prices are a little higher than your traditional Mexican restaurant but it’s a pretty vibe inside and there is anice area for outdoor seating if you don’t mind the scorching heat. ??

This was an awful experience and I feel ripped off. We ordered the most expensive entree on the menu - the Molcajete, and $27.... The steak is awful (dry like eating saw dust), chicken is flavorless and oversalted, shrimp were pretty good but there only 4 ofthem and they are the size of my thumb. You will find mostly fajita peppers in your food. Even the limes are bone dry. Alsoordered the chicken wing appetizer and first one I bit into was way past its expiration. You could smell/taste putrid rot assoon as you bite into it. This was a one off, because other wings were fine, but that just ruined my appetite and I couldn'tfinish my meal. Just terrible. Read more
Came here for lunch on a very nice day, so we ate outside. This is one of my favorite, sit outside places, in the area. It has... been quite some time since we've been here however. The last time we were here, it was a Mexican restaurant, but today it seemedthe food was a few notches up from what I remember. Had a salad with Mandarin oranges. I was expecting them from a jar or can,but no, it was cut from the whole fruit. Very nice! I didn't any pictures of the food, but the scenery, which is why I likesitting outside. Read more
I’m giving 4 stars because the food was good. But we didn’t have a great first experience here! We had a coupon for bogo for... literally ” any item on the menu” and the coupon had the menu on the back. We called and ordered 2 lunch ACPs (from the menuon the back of the coupon), and when we got there they claimed it “wasn’t a menu item” so the coupon didn’t apply (???).There were no exclusions listed on the coupon. Just from a customers perspective—that is not a good first experience at arestaurant. My husband talked with the lady there for like 10 minutes and they still wouldn’t honor their own coupon. It’snot about the cost or the coupon, but the principle of customer service. Now we won’t be as likely to come back, whereas if wewere treated better, we definitely would because the food was good! (Also, on a positive note, they do have gluten free optionslabeled on the menu, which is very much appreciated.) Read more
I like the Art atmosphere of this restaurant. The artist Frida Patio is the symbol of it. The food we ordered the tacos and soup... were good. We couldn’t try more of them Just our time a little bit rush this time. We definitely will come back again . Read more
