I walked…read morein without a reservation one late afternoon, and most of the outdoor tables were reserved, so I chose an indoor table instead of the sad table by the kitchen. I ordered a cochinita pibil. It came with tortillas. I don't know how many, but I finished them all. The pork was very tender and delicious on its own, but I liked it better made into a taco with the frijol, onions, and tortillas. My order came out promptly. Service was decent. Looks like a popular place since there was a party of more than 15 people close to my table, and this was around 3:30 pm. Would recommend making a reservation during peak hours.

I'm rating La Casa de Frida a bit generous (it's really a 3.5) because I live in Merida and I…read morereally miss Central Mexican food. I just returned from Puebla and this mole and Chile en Nogada don't hold a candle to the ones I had there however, in Merida these things are hard to get and as such, due to a lack of competition I'm giving La Casa de Frida four stars. I've eaten here several times and have a tendency to forget about the place as it's not on a section of Calle 61 that has many businesses even though it's only 2.5 blocks from the Plaza Grande. Merida is in Yucatan and it might as well be in another country other than Mexico. When someone wants to satisfy that craving for "real Mexican" food they don't have a lot of options but La Casa de Frida can satisfy that craving. La Casa de Frida is a very eclectic place that is Frida Kahlo themed with bright pink and blue walls and pictures of Frida or copies of her artwork covering just about every inch of the walls. Even the tables and tablecloths are Frida themed. One room has AC and the rest have fans so if you're hot ask for clima. We sat in the courtyard which is somewhat covered and brighter than the rest of the restaurant. No matter when you come here you will probably have the place to yourself as there's rarely anyone else in the building. Being almost August we came for Chile en Nogada and also Mole Poblano. The Chile was stuffed more with fruit than meat which was fine for me. It's not battered and deep fried like many are. The walnut sauce was not cold like it usually is in Puebla however it tasted fine. Because the bare pepper is showing under the sauce and the sauce is hot it doesn't look as good in photos but note the flavor was fine. It wasn't as good as the one I just had at Hotel Colonial in Puebla but I paid 300 pesos there and at La Casa de Frida it's 150 so there's that. We had two dishes with mole - enchiladas and pollo en mole. The mole has a nice flavor and a bit of heat that builds as the meal progresses. It's not as strong or smooth as ones I've had in Puebla but again this is Yucatan so we can't measure with that stick. Also both of these dishes were 100 pesos which is pretty cheap. We also ordered a margarita and an agua jamaica. The drink menu isn't very long but both were as good as they get in Merida. The jamaica came with a quite a lot of foam on it and it wasn't as sharp and bitter as most while also not being too sweet. The total bill for three people with three drinks was $430 pesos which I think is reasonable. The service has gotten better since I've been coming here in the last year. There used to be a guy that would drop food off and then disappear in the back for another 30 minutes. Today a lady was working and we never waited too long for anything.

Camarones al Coco Enchiladas de Mole Poblano and Enchiladas Verdes was our picks and I will say my favorite was Enchiladas de Mole Poblano they were so tasty and truly tasted like real poblano Mole they were filled with shredded chicken and came with rise on the side I mixed the mole with the rise and it was delicious. Camarones al Coco was the second best plate shrimp was very good and the coconut gives a great flavor. Enchiladas Verdes was not so good it was just okay I even didn't eat the last one and my auntie said if Gabriel didn't eat that last one is not because he is not hungry anymore I'm pretty sure he just didn't like it, ohh well... she knows me well hahaha. Over all the restaurant is good and customer service is very good too. I do recommend it and I think you will have a great experience and a good meal to enjoy.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn that was a 4 minute walk from this establishment. theres an Oxxo along the way, so it was a great destination for dinner and grabbing essentials. Go for an outdoor table. The inside rooms look depressing like a yellow prison at night time. We were there during happy hour, so we got two margaritas even though we ordered one. As simple as it was, it really hit the spot! Bright, fresh, and the right amount of salt. The Ribeye Chicharron was pretty good, although it could have been more tender. Its not chewy by any means, but its also not as soft as it could have been. Feels like they repurpose their ribeye scraps for this dish. Also no need to order guacamole, as they give you a mountain of avocado in this dish. The Octopus tostada was pretty good. They cooked the pulpo just right. They add tons of veggies on top so theres a lot of different flavors and textures in this one. The tostada itself holds up pretty well in its crunchiness. Cochinta pibil tacos were good, but Ive had better cochinta throughout my trip. The seasoning and flavor wasnt as bold as other places have served it. The sour pork was OK, but I couldnt help feeling it could have had more flavor. This was more like a orange glazed salad, with pork thrown in the mix. Its not bad, but it wasnt what I was expecting. That watery horchata was the worst horchata I had the entire trip. It barely had any rice or cinnamon flavor after two sips. Completely skip this.

Everything came out fresh and delicious. The flavors were amazing in some of these dishes.

If you're looking for a place that serves the region's largest variety of taco options, this place…read moreis probably it. We had to visit multiple times to take in those options, and we can also say that their tortillas are among the best, namely because they are built to contain those fillings, unlike others that are simply not quite up to the task. Here are a few tips that we'd like to pass on from what we've learned: - The Lomitos offering is one of the best, bursting with flavor and smokiness. I think it's often overlooked, so definitely grab one of these. - The Lechon, Cochinita, and "Pork Belly" are all great, flavorful and juicy. You can't really go wrong with these, though the "Pork Belly" may not be what you expect, so read on. - The Castacan is the crunchy skin and pork belly that most Westerners think of, so if you're looking for that experience, this is your taco. - The Asado Yucateco (beef) is solid, but a little dry. Pork options are going to dominate it. - The artisanal cerveza is a great pairing with their tacos. If you are a beer snob, it's worth the extra cost. - We think you can pass on the queso fundido. It was more of a cheese blob than what we prefer in a fundido. Plenty of tacos to placate your hunger, so this can be a pass. - The light brown salsa is great, with excellent flavor. The small, dark brown salsa is a tongue-melter, so proceed with caution. I'm a pepper belly, but that salsa probably overwhelmed the great taco flavors, so just know that. Overall, a great place to get the variety and explore it. Seating was comfortable, and service was efficient, though not very chatty. They can get busy at times, which just speaks to the popularity of a well done taco. If you follow the given advice, you may have more of a 5-star experience. We had some of the misses, so you don't have to, though part of the fun is your own exploration. Buen gusto!
