★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Wow wow wow! This place has it all from the environment, music, drinks ( alcoholic & non alcoholic ), and cultural variety of choices patrons can choose from. This is a great place to eat authentic Dominic food.As a southeast Asian, I was immediately embraced by the staff members and was offered assistance with food and non alcoholic options. The food delivery, both appetizers and entrees, were cooked fresh and delivered in a very timely manner.The food was delicious and kept true to the way they make it back home. While eating, I could not help but notice the attention to detail this store packed into such a small place; Even the bathroom was decorated accordingly!I’m glad I came to Frida, and look forward to coming back!
August 29 · Asadur RahimThis delicious restaurant has a great vibe and delicious drinks, I really enjoyed the Matchatini. The music and artwork match the creative menu. Next time I will try the Bad Bunny inspired drink. One cocktail was strong enough for this visit. The espresso was prefect! I highly recommend this restaurant.
September 13 · Lindsay BestTaylor was our waitress. She was amazing! The food was delicious and the drinks were just as good and strong! I brought my service dog and they didn’t question her or make me feel uncomfortable. Highly recommend this spot!
June 19 · Nicole LynnMy first visit to Frida was a pleasant experience. From the customer service to the drinks and food. We went on a Thursday during Happy Hour which ends at 7pm which is great for Brooklyn. We had frozen margaritas in mango and passion fruit and they were strong and delicious 😋. I had birria mofongo and it was well seasoned and first consume that wasn't super oily and flavorful. My friends had the 3 tacos and the Mexican street corn was also the best I had because it was juicy, salty, tangy from the lime and they didn't skip on the cheese. I will definitely be back and happy to see such a nice fusion restaurant in our neighborhood.
August 29 · Kitanya RaymondLOVE…LOVE the fusion of Caribbean and Latin flavors! Not to mention the libation list to quench your alcohol appetite for a good time and tastiness of the drinks and the Owners “new Punch” is awesome and you get to leave with a shot glass of something that taste like strawberry syrupy!! I have to to also commend the customer service and the owners local vibe on providing good, clean, ethically sourced food in the Georgestown/Mill Basin makes this an awesome vibe place on any day…its a great local vibe, I will be adding to my local love-support-local businesses!
