" Cemitas Frida was recommended to me by a colleague, and I went in with high expectations. Most were met, but I found the food to lack the kick I was looking for. The portions are generous, and the ambiance is lively, but the spice levels were toned down a bit too much for my taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cemitas Frida is an absolute gem in Waukegan! I can't get over how fresh and delicious their sopes are—truly authentic! It felt like I was eating at a friend's house, so welcoming and warm. The service was friendly, and they have a variety of options. I’m definitely planning my next visit with my family! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cemitas Frida offers an array of delicious options. My favorite is their cemita de milanesa! The crispy meat combined with fresh avocado makes it an unbeatable combo. The staff is friendly, but I noticed they sometimes struggle with large orders, so keep that in mind. Overall, it's a charming spot to enjoy traditional flavors. " (*Curated Review*)
