What People Are Saying About Frida Restaurant

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – Colorful tiled floors, wrought-iron candelabras and a bar kitted out like an altar make Frida feel like a cross between a Mexican church and an experimental art gallery. Tequila laces several dishes, like the spiked shrimp and the green salad. The filete chichen itza steak is cooked in cuitlacoche, an earthy-flavored sauce stewed with onions and green beans. Cheviche bar sea bass is stuffed with Oaxaca cheese and chicken, and comes simmering in pumpkin-seed sauce.

Editor's Tips

When to Go:
Happy hour runs weekdays, 3:30pm to 6:30pm, and features drink and food specials at the bar.
Save Money:
Portions are generally large. Light eaters may want to share, or order an appetizer as an entree.
Know Before You Go:
The valet starts at 6pm--before that, you'll need to use a nearby pay lot or look for metered parking.

Salads are disgusting

by AngKoz at Citysearch

Inconsistent. I have to say, I was impressed by the restaurant setting, service and food (amazing) at the Frida in Glendale, then when recommending it to a friend, I proudly took her to Frida in Beverly Hills, which was a joke. The setting was fine, but the hostess was grumpy, and we ordered salads recommended by our server which were absolutely disgusting. Don't order the mexican salads whatever you do.
