Reviews for Friacos Mexican Restaurant in Shorewood, IL

Average prices compared to all other Mexican restaurants but classy looking atmosphere. Beautiful thick wood tables. The table... with the couch is a really cool idea. Bathrooms are clean and the fake flowers around the mirror look elegant. The food isdelicious. Vegetarian options but the refried beans are not vegetarian. They do have black beans though. Very good salsa. Eachperson gets there own cup of salsa. I like that as well. Great guacamole and drinks. Staff is super friendly. Read more

There were four of us, each had a different meal. The food was good, however a bit salty for my taste. The authenticity was... close. Seasoning could have been a little better. I had the Pozole which is a traditional soup that I make myself. It wasserved with chopped cilantro and onion. Traditional we serve this with shredded raw cabbage or lettuce, radishes, lemon/limewedges and Mexican oregano. A salsa on the side would have been nice too. This would have really completed the presentation aswell as the flavor. The staff checked on us, the food was prompt and brought to the table hot, all pluses. A beautifulatmosphere. Parking available. Read more

Great meal. Fast service. 20 minute wait for table which was great considering it was a Friday during dinner rush. I had the... Monster Strawberry Margarita. So good and nice blend of flavor and alcohol. Diablo sauce was fire. Loved it. Mariachi bowl sotasty and filling. Waitress was very attentive. If you need a place to dine on a busy Friday this is the place to go. Read more

Service was good. Clean environment. Food portions seemed measured. Drinks good. Price is worth the visit. I am more... particularly into traditional Mexican food that is not offered here. Although the menu has a great selection. But our visit waspleasant. I would visit again. Read more

The food was a B. The service was an F. The place was completely empty and I was in there for 90 minutes with me my son and... hubs. I am normally pretty forgiving but they had at least 10 servers and mine was just...disappearing. It was like Where'sWaldo only "Where's Jimenea?" The food came, entry was hot but the rice and beans seemed like there was a production line thatscooped 1 of each on a smaller plate and it sat until you main entry was done and then slapped on the same platter. My kiddowanted fried ice cream but I couldn't wait another 45 mins to order it and get my check. Did I mention we also waited almost 10mins for chips and salsa? Drink order as well. But I had a good 6 different wait staff running past me at any giventime. Food wise, it wasn't bad. I mean, it was a B. Im not overwhelmed or underwhelmed. Service was lacking. And I have tomention the table behind me ordering drinks? They had my server and a guy server. More revenue? Smh. Not a good strategylong term. Ive attached photos to show just how empty the place was. Maybe it was a bad night. MYbe I had a new person. Butfor all the rave reviews, this was so disappointing. Read more

We have been going to Friacos for a while , I keep ordering Mahi Mahi tacos because they're delicious ???? Today I tried their... Fajita burrito and it was good. Their raspberry frozen margaritas are the best really ???? I don't like churros in general butmy family loves ordering with hot chocolate dip . On the server side for some reason we always end up receiving slower serviceso I am not sure if it's because our luck or what but it's not a big deal . Read more

My wife and I have to drive an hour to eat here, but it's worth it. Every once in a while you will get served your drink in a... janky all out of shape cup. I loved mine, so I was allowed to purchase it for 5 bucks! (The table next to us was so jealous???? ) Read more
