I like the food at this place... it's what I refer to as "california fresh mexican" because it's not authentic, it's not greasy 60s whitewash mexican and it's not american food. What it is is fresh...

This is a place to drink, kick back and watch the waves. Also a good stop to take visitors so they can check out the Main St scene from above. The food is decent, nothing's ever blow me away but...

My first time eating down near the beach, Fred's was a great choice. The food was decent but the view from outside is what made this place great to eat at. The service is prompt and friendly and you...

What makes this place worth going to is definitely the view of the Pacific Ocean from the patio. The food is regular Americanized Mexican, but they have great specials. On Sundays, they have a Bloody...

Some people don't like the food here, but that's because they are ordering the wrong stuff. Your options are: steak tacos, shrimp tacos, or maybe steak nachos (a bargain because they are HUGE a meal for 2-3...

I'm sure it's been asked before, but I can't resist: Why the hell is a mexican joint named one of most "American" names ever?Besides the misleading name, the place was all right. A very panoramic...

Coming here on a holiday weekend is never a good idea, especially when it's during the summer. That said, we're only mildly hungry and we're apparent stupid enough to wait 45 minutes. I'm amused by...

I went to Fred's with a good friend who lives in HB. I love that frickin' place! I've been obsessed and anytime I'm down there, we hit it up. I'm partial to the steak tacos and fajitas and the chips...

I went into Fred's with a few of my friends on a Thursday night. The bar was busy but there were still places to sit. They had a DJ and were playing music videos, I asked the bartender what the deal was and...

With so many good Mexican places close by, why anyone goes here is beyond me. The food is bland at best, the wait is often 30 minutes or more, and the prices are for touristas. If you go here you are...

The food here lacks authenticity and therefore, if a place had to guess what mexican food tasted like, Fred's would be the close guess of what it would taste like without doing the research. Easily, I...

Fred's is a place I like to come to in the afternoon. They have a nice patio that is great to sit out on and have a cold drink. The food is OK, not anything I would go out of the way for. This place...

This place isn't that much different from Sharkeez down the street other than the fact that it is a little bigger in space. It has the same type of crowd... Superficial White America... need I say...

During the summer this place is always packed, inside and out. And if you live here then it's hardly worth waiting and hour just to get a table. However if you can score a table on the outside patio,...

Fred's is one of those hit or miss places. I can't say that the food or service has ever been excellent (and sometimes both are downright terrrible), but usually things are ok. If you're just want...
