As a chef and die-hard foodie, I KNOW how to pick good restaurants. It's like all these years of eating and cooking deliciousness, I've developed a fail-proof technique. So when Frida Room appeared on my radar, i knew I had to go.
I went solo on a weekday morning to avoid the crowd. The only thing I knew I absolutely wanted was a cafecito, which I realize is a Cuban coffee, but I was certain Frida Room had something similar. And boy, did they. The description of the Cafe Azteca looked just like the jump start I needed, so I ordered one straight-away. And it got my engines roaring.
After carefully pouring over the entire menu, I chose the Chilaquiles Companeros with steak. This hearty meal, with delicious fried tortillas with smothered in a dreamy salsa verde with refried beans, scrambled eggs with queso fresco, tender steak and ALL the apropo accoutrements--avocado, sour cream, cilantro and onions. Nirvana.
This place is just a total vibe. Gorgeous artwork featuring, da-da-da-daaaaaa, yep...Frida Kahlo, adorned every wall. Super-attentive servers and a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere makes you feel part of a family.
Perfect for solo dining, date brunch and group outings. I love this place. Yeah...definitely go!
