A-mazing view on the patio overlooking the HB pier and ocean. Taco Tuesday is a MUST for out-of-towers! Delish tacos!!

Asked the waiter for a recommendation, he said fajitas. Get the fajitas; they were awesome!

Monday night from 6pm til midnight is Doggie Date Night. Bring your pup and the will give your dog its own meal with purchase of your own entree.

Great place to take out-of-towners to watch the sunset over the Pacific from the outside patio.

I love the calamari tacos and ask to sit at table 83 to look out on Main St and the Duke. (Not that Duke!) Don't be surprised by bad service. That's not why you're here.

Fish tacos are amazing. Love the view from the patio.
Stephanie Anne McCarthyMay 19, 2023
Not gonna downplay this: very decent food with college-karaoke-2000’s-music let’s gooo vibes. Would I go again… maybe.

get the calamari salad any time or the calamari tacos on taco tuesday!
Serena RJuly 28, 2013
Tender pork enchilada was NOT tender at all. Chips & salsa took FOREVER to come out because they were "out". But other than that drinks and food were tasty!
Jennifer MeissnerMarch 21, 2012
ALWAYS ask for the green salsa! Oh, & their white queso is delicious!
HB ShinesSeptember 23, 2011

Thank you to everyone's great tips! Fred's appreciates your support!Tara Kirby-Events Manager @ Fred's Mexican Cafefredshb@fredsmexicancafe.com
FrankAugust 31, 2013
The worst experience. Service was bad and they served me part of a latex glove with my meal. I don't think I will be back. The manager did apologize and did not charge us. That part was positive.

Monday Night Football at Fred's with lots of TVs and MNF specials!
MelMay 30, 2010
Great on Tues. for Taco Tuesday, but expect long waits & slow service. Awesome food & good deals on Tuesday!
Randi CurrieNovember 23, 2011
Carne Asada enchiladas are amazing.. better than sex.
Stacy R.January 15, 2013
Food was excellent! Service was not. Only 1 server on the floor. Place has huge potential if they staffed it properly!
Barb DonohueMay 12, 2013
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm..... Haven't had anything bad here!
Sun GoddessJuly 6, 2011
So far, service is ok and nothing more . Hope they step up their game because there is plenty of other restaurants just outside on main street.

House Margaritas on the rocks with salt. Super Yum!
Kristin YagerAugust 6, 2011
I understand it the us open and super busy, but there's no excuse for the level of service we received. 1 star and only because the food was good. Otherwise, zero. Go somewhere else this weekend.
John VJuly 2, 2011
The ladies alone are worth it, just check out the Mayor.
Bob BixbyJuly 6, 2014

Randi RoatcapAugust 27, 2013
Drinks were yummy but the food was just ok. Skip the queso dip, not worth it, it was really runny and had a yucky flavor.
Julie HartFebruary 21, 2012
