Frida Midtown

Awesome place awesome people. Food was delicious and the owner is an amazing person. All the food I had was really good

Came for happy hour (4-6). Only about 7 seats at the bar so get there early. Got a few food items and drinks. The food was good, but the portions were a bit smaller than expected. Got the guacamole, quesadilla and mussels. Flavors were good. Service was great, ambiance was nice for a date night.

Elegant and lovely ambiance. Food options are small to moderate portions. The flavor is there, which is huge for me. They had options from small tapas to tacos. The fish tacos were a good choice. I usually don't choose tacos because they're messy but this was well put together and a perfect option with drinks. I'd try much more on this menu.

Delicious food is beautifully plated at this Mexican Peruvian restaurant! Since it was a quiet night, the hostess seated us at a larger table where we could face the bar and enjoy the colorful artwork in the room. We started with the Ceviche Tostada which was generously piled tuna tarta and shrimp on a thin crispy tostada, with shaved beets and jalapeño peppers, and avocado slices decorating the food. The Duck mole was good with layers of flavor and just a hint of heat. The Mahi Mahi was another delicious work of art. Never one to not look at the desert menu, the Flan topped with expresso milk is reason enough to visit this beautiful restaurant again. A minor criticism on the margarita, Frida is not alone, is that I wish they would have used fresh lime juice in the drink, but otherwise a very good dining experience.

My friend and I were here for HH and got the barria tacos and filet mignon quesadillas (from HH menu) + sangrias and margs. Quality/taste: Barria tacos were good but the HH deal only came with 2 tacos although the meat portions were pretty good. A lot of good flavor. Might have been a bit too much cinnamon? but it was still good regardless. My friend had the quesadillas and she said it was the best quesadillas she's ever had! Our drinks were yummy - the sangrias were a bit too sweet/unauthentic tasting. The margs were good; not too sweet and pretty strong. Service: Quick and friendly staff. Seated right away upon entering and we chose to sat at the bar. The bartender was pretty busy while also being attentive to us. Everyone was really nice. Our counter space was cleared quickly upon finishing. Environment: Quite spacious with cool wall art. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Fruit flies flying around the bar, which was a little annoying.Price: $$ (based off HH specials) Not bad pricing! Would come back for their HH :) I'd recommend this restaurant. Definitely try to come during their HH since it seems to be a better deal! No

Super delicious! I usually don't venture to midtown, but this spot was totally worth it. The decor and ambiance were adorable, and the food was amazing. We started with guacamole and added pineapple - loved that they offer different fruit options. My friend and I shared the steak fajitas, which were phenomenal. They came sizzling with the cheese and onions already melting together - so unique! They only give you three tortillas, so we asked for more, and we got a side of rice, which we thought might be included. Overall, everything was delicious. They also have a couple of virgin cocktails; the watermelon one was so refreshing and beautifully presented.

Very cute spot in midtown that I didn't know existed! It's a mix of Peruvian/mexican food, which was delicious. We got the filet mignon anticuchos and chicken tacos. To drink I got a pisco sour. I would highly recommend all those items! Definitely would be coming back.

It was easy to get a reservation here on short notice. It got super loud (club like) when they were celebrating a birthday which was fun the first time but got old fast. Neither my friend nor I were a fan of our drinks. He got the seasonal cocktail and it was just full of crushed ice. My margarita was disappointing. The guacamole was good but super small. The ceviche was probably my favorite item of the dinner. I got chicken enchiladas and it was on the salty side. Service was good and quick.

Frida has become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. They take pride in their presentation and it is evident in every area (outdoor seating, service, wall decor, food, and even the restrooms).My Coconut Margarita was incredible. The perfect blend of sweetness and tequila made every drop amazing and enjoyable. We started with the Pulpo Asado (Octopus). It came on a bed of mash potatoes, was nice and firm, and the dipping sauces complemented every bite. The Watermelon Salad was a work of art. The rocoto orange dressing placed this dish into the stratosphere. So glad that I ordered it and highly recommended.Our entrees were all exquisite. The Birria Tacos were flavorful, had a spicy dipping sauce, and a savory birria broth that made this selection incredible. The Birria Ramen was just as good as the photo that I've presented. Each ingredient came together to create unique explosions of flavor and makes this another recommended item. The sides were just as impressive as the entrees. We ordered the Queso Fresco (Fresh Cheese) Sweet Plantains and Yuca (Casava) Fries. Both... amazing.Don't hesitate to come to Frida and enjoy modern cuisine at its finest.

I was really excited to try Frida because I love Mexican food and I love Peruvian food. Here is how it went with the food:- Esquites: this was not the best start. I love esquites but these had truffle sauce on them and it just didn't work. I am not one of those people who don't like truffle flavor. I really do, in fact I ordered their truffle fries. It just doesn't work with the esquites for me... - Enchiladas- the enchiladas are really good. We got the green sauce and it was so flavorful. - truffle Parmesan fries- these were pretty good - tres leches- not my favorite unfortunately...I love tres leches normally but I found the cake to be quite dry. There was some milk around the plate that you could soak up the cake in to get the full tres leches experience but I generally expect a well soaked cake. One major disappointment was that the white fish ceviche is made of tilapia. I don't go near tilapia and it is certainly not a fish I would expect in a ceviche at a high end restaurant. I had to skip the ceviche. I think this place has all the right ideas and the menu looks good but the execution needs some work. The service was okay. The ambiance was okay too. I was hesitating between 3 and 4 stars overall...
