Frida's Mexican Restaurante Restaurant Review:


There’s an old-world Spanish ambience at Frida’s, thanks to an ornate interior boasting rustic lighting fixtures, heavy wooden chairs and elaborate stonework. The restaurant is named for the Spanish artist Frida Kahlo. But the menu is heavy on Tex-Mex, with a typical-yet-massive array of burritos, quesadillas, fajitas, tacos, nachos and enchiladas. Entrées include deep-fried beef or chicken tacos, pork carnitas and arroz con pollo (marinated chicken breast topped with vegetables and cheese). The vegetarian menu features cactus (nopalitos) burritos and avocado chimichangas. For dessert, try the banana chimichanga with fresh whipped cream or the fried ice cream. The wine selection is small and predictable, but Frida’s is known for strong margaritas, and they’re available in a traditional version or as raspberry, banana, pomegranate or piña colada. There’s a large outdoor seating area perfect for enjoying a cold margarita on a hot summer day.
