    Really amazing place! Highly recommend making reservations, although from the looks of it you might be able to get away with a walk in. Great place for a date! Service was great from the moment we walked in to when we left the restaurant. Make sure to try their seasonal drinks! Such a good oat milk late! Definitely get an appetizer if you’re able! I loved how beautiful the plates were presented, such detail and color! You can taste every part of the dish!!

    Frida is my favorite restaurant in Oklahoma City. It really never disappoints … everything from the atmosphere, to the service (Jen — superb waiter) to the food; each and every time it is delicious. I ordered the seafood tamale today and was such a large portion — I am able to take half to a friend.

    Service was excellent! The ambience is really attractive and the way they do everything is very classy. I would also say that for the quality of the food the price is very fair! We started with the fondue cheese and they definitely make their chips in house! Then for my entrée I had a short rib dish. It was delicious. I was too full to even think about dessert by the time we left, but I would’ve gotten the key lime pie. Looked ridiculously good. Would definitely recommend! Thanks for reading.

    For someone who loves Latin cuisine and also the Paseo Arts District, I had never sat down to a Frida Southwest meal. I have been to the small bar The Daley many times. Frida Southwest is everything people claimed it would be. The service is amazing, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was gorgeous and inviting. Even on a busy day of Brunch the staff kept up and got everything perfect. I got the stacked enchiladas and was pleasantly surprised at the flavor. The black beans have a great taste and the crispy tortillas edges made for a fun mixture of textures. My Girlfriend got the Frida Breakfast which is a lot of food and we had to take some to go. The Cinnamon Roll is a must! It is huge and fluffy and sweet! My first experience at Frida will not be the last. Enjoy!

    My spouse and I are here for an anniversary dinner and it was a great experience. We made a reservation on a weekday and while it may not have been necessary I’m very glad we did. I love how light and bright it is in here. The modern furnishings fit perfectly in the atmosphere as well. Our server was very attentive, too. Everything we had here was delicious: short rib egg rolls as the April special was absolutely delicious. My spouse’s filet was cooked well and compound butter was so delicious. I liked the flavors and toppings of my Southwest Caesar salad. We also received complimentary cornbread with a delicious salted butter. Very good and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    My expectations were too high cuz because of other google reviews Salmon was not juicy, it was kinda dry.. and the lobster corn risotto was not impressive. The side broccolini was super chewy and hard to bite. My husband ordered the Ribeye steak to be medium rare; be what he got was a medium well done steak.

    Lovely restaurant experience. Food was excellent and the proportions were large. Our service was top notch. I couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience.

    Food is always fantastic! Our waiter was also amazing, I can’t remember his name now but Jessie at the host stand told us it was only his 3rd shift. Regardless, he helped make it a memorable and wonderful night out. I’m not sure if this is a new change but all of the cocktail drinks are named after Taylor Swift songs. I wasn’t too hungry so we split the entree and our waiter brought them out on separate plates for us which was very nice.

    Had dinner reservations for two on Friday night and was seated immediately. We had an amazing server who knew the menu well and gave us great recommendations. Started with a southwest egg roll that pleasantly surprised me with its mix of traditional flavors, sweetness, and flakey roll. The entrees we had brought unique textures and combinations that was unexpected. The drinks were spot on. The Mexican chocolate cake was very rich and went well with my end of meal latte. Great experience, great atmosphere, great food, great service.

    Not joking, the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Everything was balanced and fresh, nothing was overly rich and the flavours worked so well together. Definitely my favorite by far was the shrimp and grits. The grits were done perfect - great texture and depth in the cheesy flavour. The shrimp was a little charred and had just the right amount of acidity. There wasn’t one thing on any of the dishes I felt like didn’t make it better. This place makes intentional works of art. Amazing! Wish I lived here so I could try everything.

    If you love Latin Cuisine this place is a winner. I came with a couple of my friends and we absolutely loved it. The drinks are delicious, the food is delicious and we had excellent service. The bathroom was so cute, all things pink. Definitely make a reservation as they get busy fairly quick.

    Delicious! We tried several things and shared them, and everything we had was really good. The restaurant is in a historic, fun, and artsy shopping district. It is a beautiful space with a great patio.

    My husband and I tried their brunch and dinner. Dinner was just okay but we loved their tuna tar tar and one of my friends told me that their seafood tamale was really good. We decided to try their brunch and like their brunch over dinner! Scallop in seafood tamale was very fresh and juicy, and the sauce was yummy. I loved their shrimp and grits, but wasn’t big fan of their poached egg (it tasted like vinegar). Service here is always amazing. I tried their iced vanilla latte, but it was just vanilla latte. My husband really enjoyed their cocktails though. Yes, it is expensive, but their service, atmosphere, and the freshness of ingredients they use make it worth it!

    The food here is amazing! The environment is upscale casual. There were quite a few vegan options on the menu including the dessert menu. Everything we had was delicious! Service was outstanding. We will definitely go back.

    If you want a special night on the town and are willing to shell out a few of those hard earned dollars, this place is great. Delightful atmosphere and decor, A+ cocktails named after famous songs and entrees I couldn't believe. I've never seen a pork chop this big and well cooked.

    Food and drink with a southwestern flair can be found here! The food is always good and service too! Out of what we enjoyed, the least favorite was the cauliflower steak. The skirt steak was primo! If you’re into drinks they have an interesting selection! The main dining area was a bit loud but one could call it boisterous! They do have smaller rooms adjacent though! Also, the patio is well placed and appointed with heaters should the need arise!

    Amazing staff, amazing dinner ! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. Friday night without a reservation and the team was tremendous to make us as comfortable as possible while we waited. We were seated in a short time at the Daley and greeted by the bar staff that was sure to make our dinner as comfortable as possible. Hands down favorite restaurant in the city !

    WOW.... what can I say. What a great gem located in the Paseo. From the decor to the staff. What an amazing experience. Starting with the Seafood Tamale, our main courses were works of art with an explosions of flavors. Asian fusion meets the Southwest. Specialty drinks were on point as well. Make you reservation today for your amazing dining experience.

    Amazing food. Nice little chocolate cranberry muffins to begin..... We both got the the Green Chili Steak Tamales. Tamale had no meat, but the green chilis mixed in was great. Juicy cuts of steak and the sauces were very good. Added some green chili sauce, which added some extra spice....so good. We were stuffed, but could not pass on a combination of two of our favorite cakes...carrot and tres leches. Take away it was!!! Service was fantastic and extremely friendly.
