"An all-around nice spot in Beverly Hills to grab some good Mexican food and drinks. The atmosphere is open with a welcoming yet refined ambiance. The service was super friendly and attentive too. The food is on the pricier side, but pretty tasty and a good stop between shopping in the area. They have daily lunch specials from 11 to 4 pm and AYCE Sunday Brunch for about $50 with a Bottomless Mimosa add-on for another $25. Very tempting, but I'd probably get kicked out of the stores after being blitz. Anyways, I came here for lunch and tried their Maracuya and Watermelon Mojito for drinks. The Maracuya was an all around good cocktail with the smoky mezcal. I asked for it a little spicy and they added some jalapeños for me. The Watermelon Mojito was like summer. Very juicy, sweet, and bright! For food, they are known for their guacamole so definitely went with that. It came with a citrusy green salsa and a smokey hot red. Pretty good and great for sharing. Really fresh guac that is light and airy being a good mix between chunky and smooth. I also got their Mole Poblano. Super delish and highly recommended! The mole was sweet and deep with smoky notes. It was served over some shredded chicken that was cooked percectly! It came with some rice, plantains, and tortillas to build a taco. Really good mix of carbs! I enjoyed every bite and would get it again. All in all, I enjoyed this place! Aside it being a bit pricy, it had good service, food, and ambiance!"

"We 'd hesitated trying Frida ahead of seeing a movie in the Galleria in the past because of a lack of vegetarian dishes, and because their pinto beans and Mexican rice are also not vegetarian. Some time had gone by since they had replaced El Torito Grill in this spot, and they added a vegetarian menu, so we thought well at least we won 't starve, let 's give it a try. The atmosphere is great and our server was really nice and took care of us.We were overall disappointed with the vegetarian experience with the items we ordered. Kudos for having a dedicated vegetarian menu but we think you can do better with what you delivered. The vegetarian option for beans is black beans. These tasted okay but a vegetarian refried beans for many is probably preferable to black beans. Also, as a vegetarian, we could only have plain white rice which, for most at a Mexican food establishment, is not as interesting or tasty as a vegetarian version of the more flavorful Mexican rice.I had the Taco de Champinon which came with 2 small mushroom-filled tacos and some melted cheese. It felt like not a lot for the price of the dish and overall seemed a bit overcooked and not as flavorful or nice to look at as vegetarian tacos I 've had at other places. (Served with black beans and plain white rice.)I also ordered a Mexican Sour which was heavy on the sour flavor and not so much on the Mezcal it was made with.The chips and salsa were good enough.Overall, although we were happy there were vegetarian options, nothing that we ordered was particularly good. The mushroom tacos could have been beautiful and more fresh and they really could do with a vegetarian version of refried beans and Mexican rice.We won 't be rushing back.Vegetarian options: They have them but they 're clearly the second class citizens to the rest of the non-vegetarian menu."
