  • Alright so here it is. My review of Frida. I had been longing to visit this resto after various people gave rave reviews of this establishment. So my gf and I finally decided to try it out last night. We were close on one occasion but decided to visit Il Mulino which is down the street. We decided on an early dinner and didn't think we would need reservations. Who I imagined was the owner (after hearing a later conversation) said we needed to be out of there by 7:45 because there were previous reservations made. It was about 6 and our parking validation was until exactly that time so we were good anyway but in all honesty I was a bit put off by it. My gf said it was nice of them to mention it to us. We walk in the establishment it's very small and still has some inklings of the old inner decor of the buildings with a pretty bad paint job of a blue colour surrounded by Frida pictures all over the walls. Can Restaurant Makeover be revived to help with the decor? So we ordered a sangria and mojito to start. My mojito was pretty strong but actually done right. The sangria looked very syrupy and I wasn't impressed when I had a sip of it. Then came our guacamole, my gf's fave. It was a bit different I will admit with the arugula on the side with the guacamole drizzled with some spicy red pepper oil with a decent serving of tortilla chips. The guacamole wasn't as tangy but I don't know if I fancy the spiciness on top of it. As a side note, the waitress came halfway through sharing our meal to give us side plates. Ya those were needed alright. My gf called her "spun." You'll see why later... HAHA! Onto our meals...I ordered the mole poblano and my gf ordered the tostades de pollo. The tostades tasted kind of bland to me. It was very plentiful and she didn't end up finishing her meal. As for my mole, it had a charitable portion of veggies, platanos and rice with some sesame seeds sprinkled on top. It was obviously made for presentation. I also though this was way too spicy for mole. I love spices and can handle hotter but for a dinner I don't think it would've been appropriate. So my gf turned to me at the end of the night and said to me she can tell that I wasn't overwhelmed by Frida. She was right. Remember folks, I lived in LA in 2 years and experienced simple Mexican food from the natives themselves. I had a better mole from Loteria in the LA Farmers Market. I have had better Mexican food at much cheaper prices. Mexican dishes should not be overpriced. Because you have a better cut of meat, you should be charging an arm and a leg for carne asada. So on to my story our waitress just looked totally lost. She provided another bill to us when we weren't even done our meal. She was just clueless and SPUN. LMAO. This place wasn't worth holding out for and ya I've experienced better. MUCH better.
