    I recently had lunch with colleagues at Frida and had an amazing time. The ambience is very, what's the word I'm looking for? FLORAL! Frida has a very cozy outdoor seating area, but we decided to sit inside since it was slightly windy. It's pretty spacious inside and the counter bar is a pretty good size. The lunch menu has a little bit of everything but not overwhelming which is a good thing. I had the duck tacos (3 in one order) and they were delicious!! I definitely want to come back and try their dinner menu and cocktails. 🍸 Pro-tip: Start off with the chips and guacamole along with the crispy tuna on tortillas. 🥑

    We chose Frida Midtown as the spot to celebrate my master’s graduation and we absolutely loved everything about the experience! The food and cocktails are a 10/10, especially the ceviche, the tostadas, the pulpo and the lychee martinis. The service was perfect - quick, super friendly and attentive. The restaurants itself is absolutel gorgeous and has beautiful floral decorations and wall murals. I 100% recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back!

    Awesome experience here on the weekend. Ambience, Cocktail and Food is great but it is the hospitality and customer service lead by Michael that deserves the 5*'s. This place is very nicely done and the cocktail presentations are very creative. Everything we ordered had fresh flavors to it. The staff took good care of us and we enjoyed the complimentary Tamarind Margarita (Must Try). Give this place a try if you are in the area. Will surely visit again.

    My friends and I came for dinner on a Saturday evening and we were seated promptly as we had made reservations beforehand. The back of the restaurant is quieter for a more intimate setting. Downstairs space also has a private dining area that you can reserve for special events. Drinks are interesting — my friend’s cocktail came with a bubble over the glass that popped. Fun feature for those who like to have special cocktails. Our server was attentive but he forgot to bring us a few items so we asked other servers to help, which was no big deal. Food was tasty, it is Mexican/Peruvian fusion. I ordered the steak and lobster tacos, which had decently sized meat portions. The lobster was really buttery. We also had guacamole for the table, which I highly recommend. They will refill your chips for you multiple times, on request. The dessert was the star for me. We ordered the chocolate lava cake, Tres leches, and crème brûlée. Highly recommend all three! All in all, a fun spot to try for an intimate dinner with a small group of friends or special someone.

    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.

We are vegetarians so was little pricey i felt drinks were okay .that had very few dishes for vegetarians so ordered everything that was there and was good .I would go once but not repeat it .

    My fiance reserved a table for 2, so we can dine as a post-engagement date. He chose this restaurant because I'm Peruvian, yet we also love Mexican food, the menu looked perfect. However, they never told him that for his reservation, the menu would be fixed. This was a bummer because we wanted to try the Lomo Saltado. Regardless it was a very special dinner for us, and we got scallops, anticuchos as an appetizer, ribeye as a main and for dessert the lava xocolatl cake & creme brulee. The food was delicius and excellent, great ingredients and everything blended well. I wished they offered certain Peruvian sauces that go perfect with the fried cassavas, we had to ask them after we were almost done with the meal. They did have one of the best purple corn home made juices ive had in NYC! do wish they had Peruvian red wine. They restaurants heat wasnt really working either I was very cold. I highly recommend dining at Frida and for service to be a bit more proactive in representing the culinary of Mexico and Peru.

    This is a Mexican & Peruvian Fusion Dream Come True! Beautiful Mexican & Peruvian Fusion restaurant in midtown Manhattan serving some of the most delicious dishes! The Birria Ravioli is an absolute must & the Salmon is so good! The duck tacos are exquisite! Literally everything was worth every bite. The drinks are all unique & pair so well with the dishes! Great place for date nights, girls night, celebrations & more! They have Happy Hour Everyday from 4-6pm with $10 margaritas & sangria, $8 wines & $6 beers!

    A solid four stars - the AC was frosting me the whole time so I asked if that could be changed (not sure how the system works) and they then kept turning it off and on throughout dinner. My paloma tasted like syrup but some of the other drinks were good, and my frida salad was 90% mixed greens and a bit disappointing as a dish, 3/5 maybe. The service was nice and the atmosphere was lovely, I also heard they sometimes have live music which is great. DELISH plantains as well.

    The waiters & waitresses here are wonderful, attentive & friendly! If you’re celebrating a birthday they truly make it feel like such a special event. The desserts are just delicious & the food is very good. I just wish they had more vegetarian options for entrees, but it was a great experience overall.

    We had an absolutely delightful family lunch at Frida Midtown in New York. The restaurant’s warm and inviting atmosphere was perfect for our gathering, and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating, especially with our little ones. The menu offered a fantastic variety of Mexican dishes, and even the pickiest eaters in our group found something they loved. The portions were generous, and the flavors were authentic and delicious. The kids’ menu was a hit, and the children were thrilled with their meals. The highlight for us was the guacamole, which added a perfect element to our meal. We highly recommend Frida Midtown for a family-friendly dining experience in the heart of New York City.

    We had a really nice experience here. Yummy drinks and great food, it was very quiet we were able to have a nice time chatting and enjoying the great food. It did take some extra time to get more chips and salsa is an extra expense. They do also charge a dollar for a to go container. Overall a nice experience

    We were here two weeks ago with my daughters and as a first timer, our impression with the food was an amazing experienced. We had a couple of pictures that I took during lunch time and server was amazing too!

    Really liked this place the second time around. We ate inside and the decor is gorgeous. Service is really good and quick, and the staff is incredibly nice. Our waiter Mark was great, super friendly. We had the guac and chips and ceviche Frida as an appetizer. Both very good. For entrees, I believe my mom had the Frida salad (technically an appetizer), and my dad got the Mar y Tierra tacos (filet Mignon and shrimp). They shared tuna tostaditas. I got the salmon limeño. To drink, we had a Paloma, red sangria, and the Magdalena. All were good, especially the Magdalena! The salmon I got was just okay (not as flavorful as the other items but definitely not bad) and the mashed potatoes and asparagus it came with were yummy. Overall, very happy with the experience and my parents LOVED it. So glad I got to take them here :)
