    I well-planned my adventure! I managed to weave togeher art, music, world-class athleticism,and fantastic food into an unforgettable Marathon Sunday in NYC. Frida Midtown restaurant celebrated Dia de los Muertos on Marathon Sunday. The colorful decorations and the face painting reminded me of Oaxaca, Mexico during Dia de los Muertos week. My appetite appreciated the Classic Peruvian Ceviche and Mexico's Mole sauce over duck. Mezcal served with the orange slices and the traditional Oaxacan spice blend was pleasing,too. My companion felt comfortable with the microphone, participating in the karaoke entertainment.

    Food was okay. Portion of ceviche was small. The quality of the fish dish my wife ordered was mediocre.

    Frida Midtown was AMAZING! The food was absolutely delicious. We tried the birria tacos, birria ramen, and beef tacos, and everything was flavorful, fresh, and so good. The birria was definitely a standout! We were also celebrating a birthday, and they made the experience extra special. They came out singing with a sombrero, cake, and sparkler, which was such a fun touch and made the celebration even more memorable. And a huge shoutout to Armando, our server! He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. Great food, great service, and such a fun atmosphere. 10/10, highly recommend Frida Midtown!

    Service was horrible! It took 25 min for our first drink to arrive after ordering it and ordered a seltzer and a glass of sangria, and then the server ran away without taking our order. It was another 15 min of trying to flag them down to order food. We had to ask 3 times for our check. Have bee here before and standards have gone down. Will not return due to such bad service.

    A lovely experience from start to finish, dining at Frida Midtown feels like you’ve been transported to a vacation destination. Attentive service, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere all combine to make a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. We started with pisco sours, which were perfectly crafted, then split the tuna tartare appetizer that was huge and easily shareable. Our entrees were the Baja fish tacos and chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. Both were huge portions. The mole sauce is extremely authentic and for those people who may be expecting the rather bland mole common to most Mexican restaurants, this mole was deep and rich and different in taste and texture from those other sauces. Delicious. The best unexpected surprise was the dessert. We ordered the churros and they were served warm and perfectly done, with no greasiness whatsoever. The churros came with 3 sauces and ice cream. Frida Midtown will definitely become a part of our regular restaurant repertoire.
