The place is gorgeous, great for taking photos. Food and drinks were really nice, loved the drink menu matrix as it was spot on. Favourite dish was the pulled pork tacos, they were smaller than expected (about the size of your hand) so I’d recommend getting multiple tacos. Service felt a little cold that night, but our waiter was still nice. Place was a little hard to find, you will need to go up the steps an the ground floor to reach the entrance, it will be the first one on the left.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely loved our experience at Frida Sol! The food was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented — hands down some of the best Mexican on the Gold Coast. The margaritas were perfection and the service was warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, with those gorgeous Palm Beach rooftop views making it feel like a mini escape. Highly recommend for a celebration or date night, catch-up with friends, or just because you deserve tacos
Smoky Paprika Corn Crispy Barramundi Fish Tacos Muchos Nachos Jalapenos Poppers Tommy’s Margarita & Sandria Margarita House LaLaLand Pinot Gris Nova VIta Sauvignon Blanc Frozen Margarita Had a girls' dinner herel on Friday and kicked things off with the Patrón Paddle. Four margaritas for $50, which was great value. We ordered a mix of dishes to share. The corn was just okay, nothing special, and I probably wouldn’t recommend it. But the jalapeño poppers were delish. The creamy filling was subtle yet delicious, pairing perfectly with the juicy jalapeño and crispy breading. Nachos were solid, made with house-made chips and a generous amount of toppings. The fish tacos were also great, featuring a well-sized battered barramundi fillet that worked well with the toppings and chipotle mayo. The only letdown was the service. Staff weren’t very friendly, and they didn’t even give us tap water.
Went here for Wednesday lunch and loved their Wednesday nacho special. Sooo tasty. The sides jalapeño poppers and cauliflower bites were delicious too (cauli was my favorite) Also please note this picture was taken after eating some, they come in a bigger serve Anyway getting two sides and a main each we were so full and took takeaways for dinner. Tasted delicious even later on. I’m glad they have actually tasty vegetarian and vegan options too.
Food was of the highest quality. Sat upstairs with a beautiful breeze. Preferred to order through the waitress. But there is an app also. Drinks were also top notch and presented beautifully. A little bit of a weird crowd with couples and families with little kids. Only thing I would say is if you are having a kid free night. Don't go too early. Otherwise. Thoroughly recommend.
Scrumptious. Delicious. Great service. Spectacular atmosphere with amazing artwork. A restaurant that makes you want to come back for more!
