Frida’s Taqueria San Marcos - San Marcos, California

Great little spot we tried today for the first time. Fresh and tasty good with friendly service. I got tacos and my wife a mulita. The carne asada and pastor was so good.

If you’re on the hunt for a taco joint that captures the essence of D.F. (Mexico City), this is the spot you’ve been searching for! With a small but mighty menu, everything is crafted perfectly using fresh meats that are grilled to juicy perfection—no more sitting around and drying out! The portions are incredibly generous for the price, making every bite a fantastic value. I’m absolutely thrilled to have found my new go-to place, and I can’t wait for Taco Tuesday, even though we’re experiencing taco night every day at home!

We came to the new store in San Marcos and bought tacos and horchata. Everything was delicious, there was plenty of seating inside, and the employees were nice! I got chicken tacos and my wife got quesa tacos (chicken and cheese tacos). The set up inside is cute, too! Wheelchair accessible bathrooms available.

Fast to greet us upon arrival. Took our order and then instructed us to give the receipt to the kitchen. Felt odd at first but ended up being very cool. Handed him out ticket as I started to walk away he stopped me to ask exactly how we wanted our meals prepared. He explained what came on the chicken nachos and then went to the chicken quesadilla. The wait was very short and our order was ready.

A word of caution there is a ton of food for the value. One of the biggest chicken quesadillas I’ve ever seen in my life.

The food had a fantastic flavor. Sauces went from medium to hot, and hotter.Salsa bar well stocked with limes, cucumbers, and radish slices.

Definitely going back but make sure you’re hungry when you go or be prepared to ask for a container for later!

Visited for a work lunch with some coworkers. I had 3 quesatacos. Larger tacos with cheese. Pollo, Birria, and Al Pastor were so good. Great taste and made right in front of me.

Tried Fridas for the 1st time today and will be going back! Had the carnitas tacos and they were delicious! Didn't hurt that it was Taco Thursday and the tacos were just $1.99 each. 🙂

Tried them once at a farmers market a few years ago. Heard they opened her and went to check it out. From LA hadn’t found any good taco spots but this hit the spot. I played it safe and only ordered one taco al pastor And a agua Fresca. I regret not ordering 10 tacos because they were delicious. My only negative comment is that they did not have agua de sandia 😅

The young cashier with light hair in the night shift was not very friendly. Was rushing us to order and seemed to have rolled her eyes. Seems like she was not having a good day. I Still tipped them. I usually go to the Escondido location and havent had an issue there besides them always being packed. The food was not that good. My son ordered some adobada tacos and the meat was raw. The fresh fruit wateres seemed to be watered already. I do not know why I asked for carne asada nachos, when I was trying to go for the Carne Asada chips. Lol. That was my mistake. I tried to enjoy the nachos but ended up leaving them.
