Frida's and Bonito Bar

My partner and I really enjoyed our meal here. We had the mushroom reuben, the turkey burger and the shrimp pasta - we all agreed we'd get those items again. Great food + service and a neat ambiance. We will be back.

My husband and I have been going here for years. Fast friendly service and the food never disappoints. My husband is the Vegan but I've tried a variety of their different menu selections and they have all been fantastic! The Taco, Black bean burger, Frida burger all great. They have expanded their menu so there is something for everyone.

Just back from a lunch out of their flower-framed, quiet outside dining area. The food was uber fresh and delicious. The menu had salmon for my non-vegan friend and plenty of wonderful options for me (try their spring rolls). So nice to dine somewhere where vegan food isn't an afterthought.

Love the whole ambiance; feels almost European. I highly recommend Frida's!

I love the food here however the waitress and hostess is so unwelcoming and unfriendly, it makes me not want to return. She seems to work everyday, but it’s clearly affecting her so much that she takes it out on customers. Very rude and unprofessional.

University City is lucky to have such an inviting and delicious restaurant. The service is always impeccable, and the menu has something for everyone. Thank you Elise for your kind service this afternoon.

Terrible food. Drinks are A1 but rest is shit. The guy didn’t like the feedback either. So don’t bother.

Very nice experience. No complaints everything was hitting.

We went here on 6/13/2025 and had an amazing experience. Elyse our waitress, and she was fantastic; very nice and very good at her job!
The food was amazing and there were so many options, whether you want vegan food, or not!
The Pasta Con Broccoli was great; it had tomatoes, spinach, and broccoli (obviously). It was probably the healthiest take on Pasta Con Broccoli I’ve ever had! The sauce was less thick, but still creamy!
Anyone who says this restaurant is horrible is wrong. This place is 100% worth your time. 100/10, would come again!

Google won’t let me post a review, so I posting this through someone else.

Narada is the best mixologist in the Midwest! We are lucky to have him in the Lou! He recommended the Southwestern Steak Bowl and it was insane. Never have I ever had vegan steak taste like steak! You have to try the off menu Lemon - eze cocktail! It. Is. Legit. Savory. A little sour. And most delicious. Impossible to just have one! Bonita bar is the best neighborhood joint.

Swung by to give this pace a try, during travel, did a pickup though.

Nice outdoor area, cool inside area with well set up tables ready for those who reserved.

Friendly staff & well greeted upon entry.

However when it came to the food,
PORTIONS were VERY little. Everything ordered was half filled close to nothing (I understand portions are smaller when doing take). But everything was almost empty.

Food was burned & I was very dissatisfied with that. Also didn't taste much flavor in my food. I honestly enjoyed my dessert wayyy more than my meal. Also, was not provided any utensils either to consume my meal.

I'm not sure if this is already an implementation, but it may be of interest to double check everyone's steps & work before handing it off as a preventative measure for discrepancies.

Although I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone I know, I still encouraged people to give it a try for themselves but as a forewarning this was my experience traveling through & trying this place out. ):
