Not worth it!

We went there since calle ocho was full for brunch. We were the first table and yet the service was inefficient and slow. The quesadilla was miniature (and cost 13 bucks!), there was no complimentary chips or bread basket, the servers were rude and impolite, and the food was so-so.

Legit Ceviche

What it lacks in charm, it rocks out in authenticity. Frida is the first and only place I've had legit ceviche made fresh when I ordered it in Manhattan. They served up a great assortment of varied chiles and had some tasty street-style fish & chicken served up shredded in a clay pot with warm homemade tortillas to pack them in to. The tequila selection is phenomenal and seems to intentionally lack Paul Mitchell's Patron label. Frida isn't Dos Caminos, but it's not a place to write-off either if you're a fan of true Mexican food.

Waste of Time and Money

Complete waste of time and money. The restaurant itself is dirty and crowded. Service was slow and unfriendly. Worst of all was the food--guacamole was $11 for tiny portion and flavorless chips. The brunch was unappetizing and overpriced. Go to Cafe Ronda instead...same restaurant chain but completely different food and experience.
