Find French Fry-Covered Burgers at Cuban Burger Restaurant Frita Batidos in Brooklyn | Eater NY

"College students at the University of Michigan have crowned this 15-year-old spot the best burgers in Ann Arbor for many years, and the restaurant’s third outpost (after Detroit) opened in Williamsburg in October, bringing beloved fritas—French fry–loaded Cuban burgers—to New York, the hometown of chef and owner Eve Aronoff Fernandez. I start with a chorizo frita slicked with sweet chile mayo; the shoestring fries aren’t as crispy as Miami’s El Rey De Las Fritas, but they’re satisfying and make a single patty plenty filling. A thin, spicy, tomato-based sauce on the table begs to be applied (just don’t confuse it for ketchup). Any burger can be made “loco,” a glorious mess with a fried egg, cilantro-lime salsa, Muenster, and mango-accented tropical slaw—ignore the provided fork and knife at your peril. Twice-fried plantains aren’t necessary to fill out a meal, but they pleasantly surprise with a smoky, spicy sauce. Don’t skip a batido; these tropical shakes (think coconut cream and hibiscus) remain cold and cohesive (rather than separating) as I carve through my frita, and the cajeta, like a caramelized vanilla shake, is a sleeper. The menu runs from spiced chorizo (fritas are traditionally made with beef, pork, or both) to a vegetarian black bean, all paired with those batidos. Families, couples, and friends share white-washed picnic tables while a long, thin counter wraps around massive windows, and the glaringly white lights make the restaurant feel like an island in the night. Colorful sets of dominos and Biñho (a flick soccer game) sit on various tables—just be sure to wipe your hands well before playing." - Nick Mancall-Bitel

Frita Batidos - Review - Williamsburg - New York - The Infatuation

"Frita Batidos has been serving runny egg-topped Cuban burgers and milkshakes (aka batidos) to the people of Ann Arbor, Michigan, since 2010. And like a lot of things (or people) that spent a lot of time in Ann Arbor, their first expansion outside the state is to New York, in a giant space near Domino Park with a big patch of grass on their roof." - Will Hartman

Frita Batidos Opens New Cuban Burger Restaurant in NYC | Eater NY

"A Michigan-born restaurant brings Cuban burgers and tropical milkshakes to Williamsburg, opening Wednesday, October 29 at 334 Kent Avenue (at South Fourth Street). Chef and founder Eve Aronoff Fernandez, who launched the original in Ann Arbor in 2010 and later expanded to Detroit, ties the New York move to her Brooklyn roots and the chance to welcome University of Michigan alumni. The menu goes all-in on fritas—Cuban burgers with shoestring fries on soft buns—offering spiced patties like chorizo, black bean, and ground fluke (singles and doubles). Batidos include flavors such as coconut cream, hibiscus, passionfruit, chocolate, and cajeta, plus a mango “Lighter Batido” with an optional dark-rum shot for a $2.50 add-on. Sides and snacks span plantains (solo or loaded with beans) and the Best Snack Ever: layers of coconut-ginger rice, black beans, melted Muenster, and cilantro-lime salsa; desserts include churros and cinnamon-sugar plantains. Juices lead the drink list alongside cocktails like margaritas, coladas, and a pisco hibiscus lemonade. The 70-seat counter- and table-service space, designed by architect Neal Robinson (who also worked on the Ann Arbor and Detroit locations), features communal picnic tables and a mural by graffiti artist FEL3000ft, with aims for a 20-seat outdoor area and a paleta cart after opening." - Nadia Chaudhury

Bateman’s Is a New East Village Bar Inspired by ‘American Psycho’ | Eater NY

"A Michigan-based Cuban burger and milkshake spot is opening in Williamsburg at 320 Kent Avenue at South First Street in the spring, marking the brand's first New York location. The Cuban street-food menu centers on the namesake fritas (burgers made with chorizo) and batidos (tropical milkshakes) and also includes dishes like a fish frita made with local fish. The concept was started by celebrity chef Eve Aronoff in Ann Arbor in 2010 and expanded into Detroit in 2019." - Nadia Chaudhury

This place is incredible. The flavors are very bold and exciting. I got the pulled pork rice bowl and the Vietnamese, West African influences are very clear. It’s sweet, tangy, very savory - a flavor I’ve never experienced to that extent in a meal like this. The plantains are cooked incredibly well too and the caramelized crust is magic. Definitely a must try. Will have to come back for a burger.

Love the food here! The staff is super friendly. The burgers and shakes are heavenly! I highly recommend the beef Frita and the hibiscus shake. So happy they brought this Michigan staple to NYC!!

I hadn’t had Frita since I graduated Michigan in 2014 and I was wondering if I overhyped it in my head. I didn’t. It’s even better than I remembered. Maybe the best burger in the world. I cannot wait to go back and take every visitor I have forever.

Fritas Brooklyn is the best piece of Ann Arbor now in NYC!! Was so excited to try the new location, and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious, as always, and the staff were all friendly, and very helpful. We tried the Cuban, the Best Snack Ever, the Loaded Plantains, the Pulled Pork Fritas Bowl, a beef Frita, and the Coconut Cream and Passionfruit Batidos. All were wonderful, and the Best Snack ever was just as great as I remembered it. A must try when you're in the neighborhood!

Really delicious and filling. Really fantastic seasoning and flavors on everything. I had the chorizo Frita, black beans, and the “light” batido. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.

Friends of mine have raved about Frita Batidos in Ann Arbor for years, so I was thrilled when I heard they were opening closer to me in NYC. Just had lunch there — absolutely incredible, surpassed all expectations. Easily the best food of my week-long trip to the city. Every bite was so fresh and flavorful. The service was excellent as well. I cannot wait to come back!

Absurd, they bait and switched after a week. First picture is the sandwich the week they opened. Second pic is what you get NOW for $20. It's not worth $5. Don't waste your money.

As a Michigan alum, I was over the moon to hear that a Frita was opening in Brooklyn! The space in Domino Park is a close image to the location Ann Arbor - bright big space with benches, self serve water and condiments, and dominoes to play with! You order at the counter and sit down where you'd like. The staff will then call your name and bring your order to you! I ordered my fave - a beef frita with muenster. It tastes just as good as I remembered. And you may be wondering: Is it only good because of nostalgia? The answer is no. I only recently began to enjoy burgers even more after college, and this one is truly delicious. The patty was so juicy and dense. Fries were perfectly salty. And the burger itself is really big! I'm beyond happy this is here and need to come back for my other faves - pulled pork bowl, crispy plantains, and the hibiscus frita! One downside is this location in comparison to the AA one doesn't have fishbowls/large format drinks on the menu! But it's okay, I forgive them. The burger is really where it's at.

Opening night review. Service was incredibly friendly and helpful which made navigating the menu easier. Food came out quickly. I got the beef and was pleasantly surprised when they asked how well done I'd like it. Highlights: - The sides were great, guac was fresh and good with the plantain chips. Slaw was so creamy and the mango in there was so fresh and sweet. - Fries: shoestring but not too skinny. Probably my favorite thing here. - Portion sizes: huge, definitely worth the price. The churro bites might not have been the move, they were kind of dense, but the flavor was good. Will try the full sized churro next time. The chocolate sauce was very perfectly rich and warm. The "best snack ever" was good, kind of what you'd expect from a cup of rice and beans. It's a good spot for quick, decent food to take over to Domino Park for a picnic.

Came to Fritas shortly after it opened on a Friday. It was fairly quiet and I think at that point they were still trying to grease the wheels, which I think is fair, so waiting to order and service was very slow. I've been to the Fritas in Ann Arbor before and that restaurant runs like a well oiled machine, so I think as Frita gets up and operating in a rhythm it will be A-ok! I ordered the loaded plantains and pork rice bowl. I enjoyed both of them, but definitely a bit of sticker shock that the two items combined together if you include tip is over $40. I think the disconnect in my brain is when I went to Fritas it didn't feel like a full-service restaurant, it felt closer to one step up from fast casual. It's hard to pay full service restaurant prices and fees when you're served in paper/compostable bowls and cups. I also understand that having a space in Domino Park is $$$$, so I'm not surprised by the higher prices. Eating at Fritas in Brooklyn feels like a "luxury" experience, while in AA it was more casual. The staff bring you your food and periodically come by to check on you, so the service is good but at times felt not very practical. One area of suggestion, a self-service utensil station with a trash can, so you can easily grab another fork or spoon if needed or throw trash away at your own leisure if you'd like. I felt weird when I wanted to throw out a tissue and the only way was to hand it to the staff. Overall, it was a good experience, but a pricey one.

Loved the one in Ann Arbor and this restaurant is a more spacious version of the one in AA. The burgers were a little greasy but hit all the nostalgic notes. The fries are also really good here

Exciting new Cuban snack shop on the Williamsburg waterfront specializing in brioche sandwiches filled with fries and various protein options. For vegetarians, there's a hearty black bean patty option which pairs well with a layer of avocado smash. The shoestring fries were good as well. The location right on Domino Park draws a certain crowd. I was thankful my order was to-go, as a certain fellow named Chase P. waiting on his frita was probably the loudest customer I've ever shared a restaurant space with. The ambiance gives a Miami-esque feeling, and I think this spot will be very popular next summer.

Very good burgers and drinks! Service is friendly and its a very clean space. A great addition to the neighborhood, we need more cuban spots here haha A batido is a cuban burger with fries inside and you can choose any protein: beef, fish, chicken etc I got the beef which was very tasty. I also got the pineapple mango shake. And they passed out free samples of coconut shake

From Ann Arbor, this Cuban burger joint serves Fritas, Milkshakes and a bunch of sides. We had the beef frita with double patty and made it loco, which included a bunch of different toppings including egg. The burger was delicious and filling. We also had the garlic cilantro fried and those were well made and good as well. Nice space within the domino square building, good sunlight. Service is part counter service but they bring the food out to you after you pay.

Came here around 3:30 pm with 2 friends. Had a short line and some seats left in the restaurant but quite busy for the time! Ordering was easy got the beef frita make it loco (highly recommend) the burger was a substantial good burger and the tropical slaw and salsa really cut through the richness and added some sweetness/freshness. Took the egg off and dipped the burger in it. Also got the lighter batido which was like a creamier pineapply slushy (v yummy) and passionfruit batido (like a milkshake). The loaded plantains were not what we expected, ~1/8inch thick plantain slices underneath what looks like a wet schlop but was pretty tasty. Service was good they came to find us, brought us water, and food (food took ~20 minutes?). Inside was modern, simple. Right next to domino park for walking off the food baby.

Excellent food, relatively slow and long line, but it's 100% worth it. Fun, upbeat ambiance for a casual lunch or family outing.

Have been to Frita in Ann Arbor and am so excited that Frita Brooklyn is now open. Had the chicken frita yesterday and the plantains. Frita was amazing! Unlike any chicken sandwich I've ever had. And the plantains were so perfectly cooked. Service was great, and the food is so unique and flavorful. Have already made plans to return with friends and family. You have to try this place!

Burger tasted a bit salty but overall good. The shake was also good. Service is where it fell short. Having to hear your name shouted over a loud store was not convenient also my shake came out so much later than my burger.

I've been to Frita in Ann Arbor many times, so I was so excited that it opened in Brooklyn! Very allergen and dietary friendly - I'm vegetarian and the Black Bean Frita is the best veggie burger I've ever had. The Chocolate Español Batido is a must too. Really amazing attention to detail, everything is unique and delicious. Can't wait to go back!!!
