Incredible Mexican food. Felt lucky we found this place. Staff was fantastic. Birria tacos were great. Steak amazing. Fish tacos so good (says my wife, I don't eat fish) Would absolutely go back. read more

Great food and even better service. Would highly recommend. Ordered the birria ramen, was very flavorful.

The steak chaufa was light and a good portion, could've used more flavor/seasoning but it was still enjoyable. read more

4.5 stars A great find in Midtown East, which isn't known for being a culinary hotspot. We dined outdoors in front of the restaurant and had (1) esquites, (2) ceviche frida, (3) birria tacos, (4) chicken mole and (5) churros. Oh, we also had a side of sweet plantains which were delicious, and the best I've ever had! The stars of the night were actually the appetizers. We loved the texture and truffle flavors in the esquites. The ceviche frida was fresh, bright and delightfully sour -- I think it was the best ceviche I've had. Birria tacos were also delicious, although a bit messy to eat given the braising liquid and broth. The chicken mole was only OK as it was a bit dry. Definitely get the sweet plantains as a side. They are perfectly caramelized and glazed with condensed milk -- almost like a dessert. We finished with churros which came with a chocolate sauce and caramel sauce, ice cream and some berries. Nothing super special here -- I'd probably try another dessert. Service was excellent. Very attentive and friendly. read more

*This review is for the private room only* with an $1800 minimum spend. In all, it was very disappointing. The food was good! But the service was terrible. We never got assistance with the screen and projector. We never had on-site help from anyone other that the host greeter guy. He was great, but he had an another job...as the host!.The owner, Camilla, never even texted back when I was on-site and needed help, even though I'd been told she was somewhere at the restaurant. I'm used to having some attention at the start of my business programs to make sure people have drinks, that the AV is good, that we are good to go. The kitchen was attached to the "private room" so we could hear everything. And people keep walking through! The chairs were so low that everyone felt like we were kids at the adult table! All in all, it they are really going to do private events, they need to have support for the party, they need to get some chairs (not from ikea!) and they need to put a door (not a curtain) between the loud kitchen and "private" room. I do not recommend this venue for private events. read more

the food was unflavorful and service was pretty slow / they messed up orders like 3 times lol (drink, entree, coffee) we sat in a table downstairs and it was good vibes, a little bit dark. the chairs were too low for the table too read more

I went there for brunch yesterday. I must say that the guacamole was one of the best that I have ever tasted. The drinks were made just right, I just a Moscow Mule. My fish tacos were well seasoned and the presentation was nice. read more

Very good food. I particularly enjoyed the ceviche tostado. Everything was beautifully arranged on the plates.

The duck mole was delicious with the sweetness of the plantains and richness of the sauce. Great live music, service, and ambience. I'll be sure to come back on my next NY midtown visit. read more

The food here is fantastic! We enjoyed our appetizers and entrees and drinks very much. The service was kind of off putting though. Our waitress kept coming over and interrupting us due to her own OCD. At one point she came over to just put my brother's drink back on top of a napkin rather than directly on the table. She must have seen me give him a look bc she didn't try to do the same them to me afterwards. So off putting like we were being scolded with a smile lol we could have done without the constant interruptions to clean our table. Regardless we love the spot and will be back in hopes of getting a different waiter. Ambiance is beautiful and upscale. Drinks were yummy but I didn't get the ice pop that I was hoping to get with my drink. read more

Doesn't taste like authentic mexican or peruvian food. Drinks were strong which is nice but if you are looking for somewhere to eat i'd skip out on this place. The staff is very friendly. - If you wanted to go somewhere just for drinks and ambiance i would say yes. - if you're looking for good food i'd say no. read more

I've walked past this spot so many times and am so happy I finally decided to give it a try. The margaritas are incredible, and the passion fruit margarita is super fresh and full of flavor. The duck tacos quickly became a staple -- and such a unique find! The place is very popular and was full of groups enjoying the drinks and music. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. And you must try the tres leches cake for dessert! read more

OMG.. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO THIS GEM IN MIDTOWN NY YOU MUST BOOK YOUR RESERVATION TODAY WHEN I SAY A PLEASANT SURPRISE .. GUYSSSS THIS BEAUTY WAS EVERYTHING AND SO MUCH MORE.. So let me simply start from the beginning, upon entry the decadent views were amazing from the intricately put aesthetic to the welcoming atmosphere. We were treated with top tier service by Jorge (who was the manager on duty) he gave myself and my friend a beautiful history on the restaurant and how it has only been opened for about 2 years we then decided to sit outside and we were greeted by the GREATEST SERVER EVER ERIC HE WAS HANDS DOWN PHENOMENAL His professionalism, warm personality, and knowledge of the menu was simply a caveat on top of the excellent service, throughout our dining experience we indulged in amazing cocktails, Huevos Rancheros, plantains, & chips & guac. It was simply a pleasure to be surrounded by such an amazing environment. I cannot wait to come back with my friends wishing your restaurant so many more years of success and accomplishment, It is truly so hard to find amazing restaurants, & you have cracked the code read more

6 stars out of 5 - You've got to try this place. Atmosphere is great inside and staff is friendly & attentive. Reservations can be easily made through Yelp. I got chips n guacamole, enchiladas, a mint lemonade, and barria tacos. Everything was delicious and far exceeded our hopes. Would get everything again. Next time will probably try other tacos too. Thanks for the awesome experience, Frida! Will certainly come back and will encourage others to go too. read more

I was very excited to have Peruvian food in mid-town. But the menu ended up being something of a disappointment. It didn't really have the dishes I expected when I've been to other Peruvian restaurants. I didn't have their signature cocktails, so no comments there. And definitely a lively atmosphere. Bathroom was immaculate which was nice. read more

The food here was incredible and fresh. I got the Baja style tacos and the duck tacos, which were both delicious. Also enjoyed the Tuna Tostadas and the Esquites (big yum!). The service was excellent, no complaints about that and the ambience definitely takes you out of the streets of New York. The foliage, lighting, and murals only elevated the experience. read more

Everything abt this place was amazing. We started with Blue Point Oysters we were so amazed at the presentation and how nice and how big they were. I then had a lomo salteado and my bf had the fish also super great. The drinks were amazing too. We went during the weekend since we were celebrating an early Valentine's Day the decoration was also beautiful. We will definitely be back. read more

First off the decor is beautiful and inviting. We were greeted nicely at the door and felt welcome already. We started with La Magdalena which was the perfect amount of spice and a wonderful flavor. I would have ordered another but I saw this spectacular looking drink go by and I had to try it. The Lychee Pea Martini is a show stopper and delicious to boot! I would definitely return here just for the drinks. The bartender is amazing! I ordered the Lomo Saltado and the steak was overcooked for my liking but my bad because I normally ask for it to be more rare/medium rare. I was so impressed with my drink I forgot to mention it. However, the sauce was so delicious I managed to be a member of the clean plate club! Go me!! My friend ordered the seafood chaufa and they modified it to be gluten free. She enjoyed it. My boyfriend was not hungry and ordered the chicharones which he felt were just ok. The service was great and I would definitely come back here when I'm in NY. read more

Best Brunch in the neighborhood. The food is creative, very tasty, and shows they have a talented chef running the kitchen. Standouts are the Lomo Saltado Steak & Eggs, the Eggs Benedict (with avocado mash, asparagus, and get the crumbled chorizo), and the French toast with mezcal maple syrup, vanilla bean butter, and it comes with eggs and bacon. Decor is very nice as well. Small spot, but quality is there. read more

Absolutely incredible food, service, and decor. Ambient lighting is key to setting the mood if you are looking for that type of thing. The entry was a little chaotic and overrun with bros trying to move their entitlement to the front of the line. So anticipate that if you are dining here while BIPOC. While their idiotic behavior was tolerated by the host, it was notable enough to make this review that it is a reflection on the establishment to anticipate ways to curtail this. The food was exceptional as was the service but I likely won't return based on the ick factor of the bro culture. read more

Awesome place for some awesome drinks and Latin food. You can definitely see Frida Kahlo's influence, and all the dishes would definitely be approved by her! My favorites are the Tostada Langosta as the appetizer, and the Seafood Chaufa (gotta have that rice!). You definitely gotta try the Edu's Lemonade, a hard lemonade with fresh blueberries to add sweetness to the tart. So good. read more

Oh my! Visually stunning but comfortable atmosphere. Dish and drink presentations are phenomenal. Service is beyond impeccable. I don't think I can say enough good things about this warm, beautiful and inviting restaurant named after one of my favorite artists. Oh and the food tastes really great! I tasted my companion's lamb dish with risotto (which they graciously change from quinoa - with smiles. That alone would have me give them five stars). The risotto was the best I've ever had. I had the chicken with rice and beans, a simple dish elevated in the right hands. (Is the chef married?? Consider this a proposal!) The butterfly pea drink was also a delight! Beautiful color as well as delicious. My coworkers and I are big fans and plan on returning! read more

Went back again on October 11th with my boss who is retiring (very sad for me) and my husband (who cannot stand coming into Manhattan). I was hoping to see ERIC who was my past waiter was not there (I was a bit disappointed) but the servers there were pretty good overall. Food and drinks were great once again. I am hoping to convince my company to have a dinner there. I highly recommend this place. read more

We went for valentines day and honestly a great date. There were countless heart balloons, and the service was topnotch. The atmosphere was so beautiful, festive, and lovely. We were so hungry and devoured the whole meal faster than it was prepared. We loved everything except the lobster in the surf and turf. It wasn't worth it in my opinion. We had ceviche classic, yuka fries, birria tacos, and baja tacos. It was a solid pick of the best. The pricing was very very high for what it is but the food and flavors were so good. Our server was so sweet. He offered to take pictures of us and was super funny. Definitely should have skipped the lobster. It was a wonderful date. read more

Frida Midtown is by far one of the best restaurants I have been to in this neighborhood! Service is top notch and the food is insanely delicious! We ordered the guacamole to start followed by the Birria Tijuana and the Chicken Flautas. The tacos are a must order. They are nothing like I've ever had before; so flavorful and delicious. The La Magdalena Margaritas are perfection. This restaurant is a must try!! Frida Midtown is a great addition to the neighborhood and I highly recommend checking it out. I cannot wait to return. read more

A friend recommended this spot and we went for Valentine's Day. The food was delicious and the drink menu did not disappoint. Claudio our waiter was very charming and funny. The lovely Camila at the front was very attentive and gracious. The place is gorgeous and lively. Guitarist/singer belted out Sade and other classic. The dancer was a hit entertaining all the folks. We recommend this to all who want to have a great time. read more

I've heard too many times that Cosme and Oxomoco are the best Mexican restaurants in the city. Absolutely not. It's Frida Midtown. This is probably the best Mexican food I've ever had, which includes all the food on my trip to the Yucatán. I could eat twenty orders of the sweet plantains, and the mole sauce on the pollo asado was life-changing-ly good. The banana Nutella burrito was recommended by our waiter for dessert, and it was so unique and delicious. All members of the wait staff were so kind and accommodating. We walked in without a reservation pretty late on a Saturday evening, and we were seated without an issue. Frida Midtown is a MUST-TRY!! read more

Came here for restaurant week with the girls. Three courses for $60, all were very tasty. We enjoyed the esquite (corn dish with cream - so yum), my main was chicken enchiladas with the green sauce, and then ended with the flan. All in all the food was good - though the sides for the enchiladas were a dud in my book. The rice was cold and the beans were flavorless. But overall a good meal - I wouldn't mind coming back! read more

Was looking for a Mexican spot in midtown on a Thursday night and found this gem. Where do I begin...the staff immediately greeted us with lots of enthusiasm and asked for proof of vaccination. Upon entering, I was amazed by the decor and the ambiance; the spot looked a bit upscale and was very clean (already off to a good start!). Beginning with the food and the service, everything was fantastic (although we didn't favor the dessert). Otherwise, Jeanet was an excellent waitress, checking in frequently and ensured the many questions I had were answered. Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu and you should too! read more

We went here for NY restaurant week. The food was delicious. The ceviche was tasty with sweet potato, avocado and white corn. It should have been a little less salty. Salmon was perfectly done with asparagus and mashed potatoes and for dessert a wonderful dulce de leche cheesecake. The restaurant has a wonderful warm atmosphere and service is very friendly. We will definitely be back. read more

This was an amazing find. The food and drinks were fantastic plus the atmosphere and vibe were chill and welcoming. We were a table of 6 and every single food item we ordered was amazing. The guacamole was fresh and the chips were delicious, crispy with a hint of salt. The ceviche was delicious, the corn was sooooo good, a definite must order. The plantains were great and plentiful one order was enough for the whole table to enjoy. My husband said his verde enchiladas were the best he's had outside of Mexico. Highly recommend!! read more

We had a lovely dinner here but a couple of things really stood out. First, Franklin was lovely and helped us with our reservation then was so sweet with my kids when we arrived. Second, we had brought a guest with us from France who was in search of a good margarita and the bartender took that as a personal challenge to make sure he enjoyed his drink. The margaritas were delicious and the service was wonderful. Thank you! read more

Everything we ate was delicious tonight! From the strong margaritas to the delicious esquites to the chicken flautas and yuca fries, it was all so tasty! We live a block away and can't believe we haven't been here before! We will definitely be back! read more
