" Fabulous hidden gem in Escondido! The carne asada tacos were rich in flavor, and the tortillas were perfectly cooked. I loved the fresh toppings available; adding the grilled onions and jalapeños took it to the next level. I tried the aguas frescas as recommended, and they were refreshing! The only downside was the cleanliness of the outdoor area, which had a lot of flies. However, the authenticity of the food is unbeatable! Can't wait to try more from their menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I discovered Fridas Street Tacos, and I'm already planning my next visit! The tacos were phenomenal. I ordered carne asada and adobada—both were cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The selection of sauces added a wonderful kick! The ambiance reminded me of street stalls in Mexico, which I absolutely loved. A bit crowded inside, but it made the atmosphere vibrant. The staff was friendly and efficient, which made the experience even better. Finally, the aguas frescas were so refreshing; I highly recommend the sangria! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a lovely time at Fridas Street Tacos last weekend! We all picked different tacos and shared them, which was fun. The carne asada and al pastor were our favorites. We enjoyed their unique aguas frescas selections. The atmosphere was vibrant, but we noticed cleanliness was an issue as there were too many flies. The service was prompt, and I appreciated the staff's attentiveness. We definitely want to return, especially for taco Tuesday! " (*Curated Review*)

" After Burger month, I decided to switch things up and go for some tacos at Fridas. I was met with friendly staff and a colorful atmosphere which was appealing. I went with the chicharrón and carnitas tacos; both were good but not outstanding. The food portion was generous, my issue was that the flavors didn't quite impress me as I was hoping. However, they did have some nice options for salsas that added to the overall taste, so I might give it another chance someday. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fridas Street Tacos exceeded my expectations! I visited during Taco Tuesday, and it was busier than I anticipated, but the line moved quickly. I tried three different tacos, including carne asada and al pastor. The flavors were vibrant, an authentic taste that transported me straight to Mexico. The aguas frescas were the star of the show; I loved the fresh watermelon juice. The outdoor seating area was lively but could use a bit of tidiness due to the flies. Overall, I gave it a 5 for authenticity and will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first thing that impressed me about Fridas was the smell of the meat grilling as I walked in. The carne asada had just the right amount of seasoning; the flavors were superb. I also loved the wide variety of aguas frescas they offer; I had the tamarind, and it was delightful. The only downside was the long lines, but they move fast! I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fridas Street Tacos is bursting with authentic flavors! I had the carne asada, and the seasoning was top-notch. I loved customizing my tacos at the salsa bar. The service was efficient, and the staff extremely polite. My only criticism would be the cleanliness; the outdoor area had a lot of flies. Still, the overall experience was exhilarating, and I cannot wait to return. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)
