What to order
Frida brings fiery Mexican flavors to a festive, colorful setting — buffet format at breakfast, full à la carte service at dinner with tableside margaritas. It's the right pick for guests who want regional Mexican cooking: slow-braised meats, fresh ceviche, and mole alongside tequila pours. The stuffed poblano pepper with corn and mushrooms is the dish guests mention most by name.
- Pepper Stuffed with Corn, Mushrooms and SpinachThe most-cited standout — a poblano filled with corn, mushrooms, and spinach in red bell pepper sauce; order it as a starter or light main.
- Shrimp Aguachile with Epazote OilBright and acidic; marinated shrimp with cucumber, red onion, and fried leek — a sharp contrast before heavier mains.
- Ceviche Mixto a la MexicanaFish, shrimp, octopus, and calamari in lime juice with pico de gallo and jalapeño — best ordered as a table sharer.
- Chicken with MoleTraditional mole with steamed rice and sesame seeds; the benchmark dish for judging the kitchen's Mexican credentials.
- Flank Steak Tampiquena StyleBeef with melted manchego, charro beans, and guacamole — hearty enough to be the centerpiece of the meal.
- ChurrosFried churros with chocolate sauce and caramel cream; guests flag this as a dessert highlight.
