On a spur of the moment trip to Evanston, my sister looked for a place to eat as we were didn't feel like driving back to The North Side so quickly. She did a quick Google search. Suggested we go here.
Frida's is an ideal size in an ideal location. Not too big to be overwhelming - just cozy enough. As the name evokes, it centers Mexican flavors along with standard breakfast fare.
On a holiday week, the staff was a bit overwhelmed but attentive. They were jugging a few tables at a time but very prompt. My sides didn't come out with my breakfast. Service had it in two seconds. My dad wanted more coffee. Coming right up.
My sister and mom had mochas. They both raved about the taste with my mom saying that it was one of the better ones she had in awhile. My dad thought the coffee was flavorful having multiple cups. I considered the mango juice but just felt like water.
My dad ordered the meat lovers omelette. My mom enjoyed a short stack of pancakes. She raved about how fluffy they were. My sister had scrambled eggs with cheese, potatoes, and sausage. She noted that her eggs were perfect. The potatoes had a bit of spice to them which give them a touch of flavor.
Having a bit of a sweet tooth, I chose the bananas foster french toast. The buttery caramel provides a nice topping ovee the bananas. Fresh whipped cream provided a crown to this delicious masterpiece. It didn't melt too fast which allowed for it to be part of each bite.
For a side, I had the pork sausage. It came out with three on the plate. They were quite fresh and very delicious.
The entire menu looks good. You'll no doubt have a hard time making a decision. Guess that means you'll have to come back again!
Frida's definitely is worth checking out for locals, student, a return visit to campus, or before a game.
