This place is amazing! There's a ton of food options nearby but FB stands out. We stopped in after visiting another restaurant unsatisfied. The burgers and atmosphere drew us in. We went with a basic (honestly anything but) burger with bacon, sweet chili mayo and shoestring fries on top. It was one of the best things I ate all weekend. With a limited time in Detroit I even considered going back for a second time. We also tried their mini churros which may be the cities best cheap it. $1 per mini churro which honestly aren't even that mini is a screaming deal that everyone should know about. They were hot, flavorful and the hint of orange was a lovely addition. Had we not been stuffed I would've ordered more, do not skip on this. If you haven't been to Frita Batidos yet and you're wondering if it's worth it I highly recommend checking it out. Food was amazing, restaurant was clean, staff was friendly, there honestly wasn't a single miss here! read more

I returned feeling hopeful pre Tiger game... I ordered seasonal sangria and garlic fries. And was informed it would be about 10-15 minutes. I got my sangria. It wasn't too bad... it had been about 25 minutes and I inquired about the fries. Well, I was informed that the large party that took my order of fries. It didn't help that whoever brought the food out just brought it to the large group/table and did call out the order. The young man that was at the counter, was able to get me some fries however they were old and really greasy. As I waited for the fries they offered plantains, I said why not.... Well I will just make them at home-- they didn't drain the grease. They were just four big plantains that I dabbed with paper towel. Ultimately, I just left after taking a few bites from each dish and having about 1/2 of my sangria. read more

Fun place within walking distance of Fox Theater, Comerica Park, and Ford Field in Detroit. Great location with a fun cobblestone street out front that's closed to traffic. Went with a group and ordered a variety to try everything. The fritas ranged from "meh" to "good." Everyone ranted and raved about the fish and the chicken. Nobody could eat the chorizo - not because it was spicy (we love spicy) but because it was mushy and the flavor was an odd combination of sweet and salty - which sounds good, but wasn't. The beef was very, very well done - we are more of a medium rare / medium group so the beef one wasn't finished etiher. The pork frita bowl was probably my favorite bite of the day - everything else was a bit too heavy on the shoestring fries and too light on the meat and fresh ingredients. We liked the fried plantains. The batidos were okay. For the size and flavor, I don't know that we'd get them again. They gave away a couple fried churros (maybe as a marketing promotion?) and I would definitely order those if I came back. Servers were nice and the food came out promptly. The price point... about $100 for four people, and we weren't really 100% filled up... was okay for the neighborhood, but didn't leave us dying to return. read more

Came for Sunday brunch right when they opened after reading all the excellent reviews. The chorizo burger, loco style add jalapeños was really delicious, though it was too loaded and saucy to effectively eat in hand. Definitely needed the utensils! The garlic cilantro fries were super crisp and well-seasoned, and the conch fritters tasted amazing and had great texture! The coconut cream and passionfruit batidos are sweet and delicious, but the hibiscus lemonade was a tad too strong/sour and needed to be cut with some water. The churros with chocolate sauce are insanely massive and absolutely scrumptious. "Best churro I ever ate" -- my dining group. Now to the one star deduction- the cleanliness of the tables, floor, and especially the bathrooms were seriously lacking. Don't know if it was a "who closed last night?" situation or what, but needs addressing. read more

Frita Batidos Detroit is an okay post game meal or snack. There is no parking since it's on a walkable street. The theme is very minimalistic. It works great for big groups with the long style benches and line ordering. The customer service was attentive and helpful. The staff did a great job at explaining the food. My group ended up getting the Pick Your Frita where shoestring fries are included in the burger and toppings were a la carte. My Chicken Frita was good even if I had to eat it with a fork and knife cause it was so loaded and messy. The chicken was well seasoned. However, the fries on my sandwich were a bit soggy. We didn't have to wait long and were served pretty quickly. Not a bad option for a quick bite after a game. read more

I stopped here after work for happy hour. I've been eyeing this place for a while and have heard great things about them. I came the 1st time and enjoy them so much I came back. The menu is very reasonably priced so don't worry about your bank account. The happy hour specials are good and I can't wait to come back again. I enjoyed the chicken verde bowl over rice. I wasn't expecting it to be much but it's a decent size cup with a healthy amount of food to eat. I couldn't finish it because I had already gulp down my garlic cilantro fries. I had a happy hour margarita which was only $4, not bad at all. I got an order of 2 churros but these are not your typical churros. These things are gigantic cinnamon,sugar donuts. They're about the size of a baby lizard. They had entirely too much sugar/cinnamon coating and it was definitely a surprise when I open my bag to see what I had. Are churros different in Cuban cuisine? Seating is 1st come, 1st seated at picnic style tables. They have napkins and condiments in the center of the table. Bathrooms are gender neutral, one stall rooms. I'll be back soon. You should come, too. read more

Fun, vegan friendly restaurant and bar we visited after a show. I don't think I'd make a special trip here because parking is nonexistent, but if in the area I'll be back. Noticed they do have a liquor license with a decent size bar. NA coconut and lime sodas tonight. It was sprite with the hint of coconut. Small food order that was a build your own tofu and bean bowl. Had lettuce and rice inside. Side order of garlic and cilantro fries. Both very flavorful and perfect portions. The young woman who helped us was friendly and knowledgeable. Pointed us to a vegan friendly menu too. Love their use of compostable cups, straws, and dishes. read more

Return trip. Much better food. Came here before the tigers game. Not too busy. Waited less than 2 minutes to order and found a table right away. As it was still happy hour, I ordered the $4 daiquiri (think it's usually $10-$12). This was straight lime. Borderline undrinkable. Last time, it was much better. If you love citrus, this would be perfect. I could only have a couple sips because it was simply too much. Onto the star; the frita. Last time I went with the Cuban which was very underwhelming. This time I went with the double beef frita and added muenster and bacon. The patties were smallish but thick which made eating the burger a little difficult (just pressed it down like crazy). They were very well seasoned though and had good flavor. The buns were fine, but got progressively soggier and lost all internal integrity by the last 1/4 of the burger. The thick cut bacon was pork belly. A well cooked pork belly was delicious. This was more fat than actual meat. The frita comes with fries on it and those were well salted and had a nice texture and overall a good flavor profile. Come here. Get a frita. Skip the bacon. Very solid burger. read more

Delicious! The burger with the red sauce from the table was so saucy and greasy and good! I loved every bite of the delicious chorizo burger with cheese and egg added on top. The cheese idk if is essential but the egg is. Once it oozes the yolk it really amplifies the burger. The coconut cream shake is incredibly refreshing. Nice service. Bright windows that light up the whole place. Right by the tigers game and better than anything inside. read more

Nice, fun casual spot for Cuban street food - delicious food! Be prepared to wait in line! This is a popular spot. Service moves efficiently so you won't be waiting too long. The team at this spot deliver food to your table, which is a nice aspect of eating in at this spot. Each table has dominoes which you can use to play a game with people at your table, if you're feeling social. ;) read more

The food was good here. I would definitely recommend the fries. The sandwich is also filled with fries as well FYI. I got the hibiscus mojito type of drink which was ok. The seating is super causal and there isn't too much seating in general . However, the area around the restaurant is very cute tho! read more

Frita Batidos - Burgers Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

The Ann Arbor location is far better than this one. First of all there were no trash cans in this place which is just odd unless they want people to just leave the scraps out. I've been to the Ann Arbor location once and I loved it so much, so I decided to stop at this place, get takeout and head home as I was downtown. The person taking my order was awkward and didn't say a word to me. I ordered my Frita and said "with everything on it" as in like what comes with it. I got home and there's a whole bunch of things in it and there was an egg with the yolk melting and oozing into my food which immediately was disappointing bc It's not my personal taste. I think this person who took my order took it to the extreme literal sense and put ALL toppings in the entire restaurant onto my frita bc that's how soggy and packed it was. It's partially my fault for saying "everything on it" but again he didn't speak a word to me -just stood there like a robot, this confusion could have been avoided if it was better customer service. Also i remember the menu board, the said things that were on my frita when i got home were under the "ADD ONs" section. I like the food in general but ill stick to Ann Arbor read more

The burgers were unique and delicious! Great fries, too. The staff were very patient and helpful and quick, despite the line being out the door. It's very bright and vibrant inside with communal seating, which I love. We met some very nice folks that were going to the same show as us at The Fox, which is right around the corner. Excellent experience! read more

I don't get it. Chaotic, no table service as food is really greasy. It's fine for post game food but I wouldn't go out of my way.

Always amazing and fresh, soft. Always hits the spot. First time trying the downtown place, usually go to the Ann Arbor location. The service is always excellent as well. The place has plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. read more

The absolute worst Cuban sandwich I've ever had. Whoever ever heard of a spicy Cuban sandwich I've had a lot of Cuban sandwiches, but never ever spicy. My wife didn't like the bowl that she got either of chicken and coconut rice. She likes spice, but it was too spicy for her. The atmosphere is horrible. You're sitting on wooden benches and you need earplugs for peace and quiet. It's loud loud loud music. i'd like to get my money back. That's how bad it was. read more

The garlic cilantro fries are amazing. The lime shake is also my favorite but they were out it so I opted for passion fruit, new obsession unlocked! The customer service was great and I appreciated the eagerness to help. read more

I came here based on a friend's recommendation and the food was delicious! I ordered a chorizo burger with a sunny-side up egg on top and a lime batido. The cilantro-garlic fries were uber-garlicky (my favorite) and were the cherry on top. I visited on a Saturday so it was understandably packed with people! But it wasn't so loud inside that I couldn't hear my own conversation with my friends, and we didn't have to wait long for a table to open up. read more

Great food Great service Voted Best Burger! I stopped in for a Mocha Cubano and churros and ordered a chicken burger too! It comes with fries as a topping. Everything was tasty and my drink was rich!

Because of the many options with ordering, you'll be ready to return and bring more people with you! There's paid street parking at the downtown Detroit location. read more

Super cute place in a terrific location - right near Comerica Park and the Fox theater. We came here on a great weather evening and got to eat outside. My husband had the bowl. And I had the burger which has a flavorful sauce and fries on top. I ate it separated but that's still a clever idea. I also got a churros for dessert. It was huge. I couldn't finish. Super sweet and cinnamony. I enjoyed it a lot and will come back. read more

Cool spot downtown on W Columbia across from the MDen store. cobblestone walk and many shops and stores surrounding to enjoy when in area. Food was very good. Street food Menu of sandwiches and fries. It is very easy you pick the kind of protein and what you would like added on (Ex: cheese, egg, jalapeño, etc). I chose the chorizo frita w/"Make it Loco". This added sunny side egg, cilantro lime salsa, advocado spread and Muenster cheese. Very large and filling sandwich with great flavor and presentation. If I'm the area recommend stopping in this district. read more

As avid fans of Frita's, we've frequented the Ann Arbor location numerous times. However, our recent visit to the Detroit branch was our first. The service was prompt, and the ambiance was delightful. We particularly appreciated the framed Frita Detroit shirt on the wall. The star of the show, though, was undoubtedly the Hibiscus batido. We also ordered burger and garlic cilantro fries. Each bite was a mouthwatering, and full of flavor. We opted for the beef burger paired with the garlic cilantro fries, and plantains. All the items exceeded our expectations, leaving us eagerly anticipating our next Frita's experience. The only reason I gave this takeout experience a four stars and not five stars is because they honestly got our order incorrect, and we didn't realize it until we left the place. Nevertheless, the items were all delicious. The manager did reach out to me and apologized. Thank you for reading our reviews. I changed my review to 5 stars for great customer satisfaction. read more

Frita Batidos is a fun casual dining spot by the Fox Theatre. It's hard to find that amongst all of the fancy restaurants in this neighborhood. Sometimes it's nice to dine out with friends downtown without the pretentiousness or having to break the bank. I recommend ordering the very filling Frita burger and making it Loco. I also like the Batido which are tropical shakes made with fruit and Guernsey Dairy vanilla bean ice cream. I was not a fan of the Tropical Salad. For $12, the Tropical Salad was mostly lettuce topped with 5-6 slivers of mango. I added organic tofu for $2 and expected a lot more pieces. For a healthier meal, I suggest the Frita Bowl. read more

Music, Magic, and Melt-in-Your-Mouth Fries: My Night at Frita Batidos (If I could!) The evening started with a simple stroll down a lively Ann Arbor street... and then it happened -- music spilled into the air like an open invitation, mingling with the mouthwatering aroma drifting from Frita Batidos. I had never tried Cuban cuisine before, but in that moment, I knew I was stepping into something special. Inside, the energy was warm and alive. That's when we met Sergio -- not just our server, but our navigator for the night. He moved through the menu with the ease of someone guiding you through a bustling, colorful market, pointing out treasures and patiently answering every curious question we had. When I finally asked, "Okay, what's the best thing here?" he grinned and delivered four words I'll never forget: "Everything. Is. Good." And honey... HE WASN'T PLAYING. I ordered the Inspired Cuban sandwich and the shoelace garlic & cilantro fries. The first bite of that Cuban was like stepping into a Havana side street -- smoky, savory, layered with flavors that danced together like old friends. The fries? Crispy whispers of garlic heaven that melted the second they hit my tongue. Bite after bite, I could feel my taste buds throwing a celebration and my belly joining in with applause. By the end of the meal, I didn't just feel full -- I felt listened to, cared for, and completely at home. The only thing that could have made it better? My house shoes and a little corner to curl up for a post-feast nap. Frita Batidos, you gave me more than a meal -- you gave me an adventure. Sergio, you and the team turned an ordinary night into a memory I'll tell over and over again. If there were 6 stars, you'd have them all. read more

really delicious cuban food in a modern and light setting! the menu is very fun and straightforward - first, you choose a frita (burger/meat and style) and then a batido (drink) and lastly any sides. i got a chicken frita and made it "loco", which added some toppings. it was very hearty and filling! the loaded plantains had a bunch of toppings and not that much actual plantain - i felt that i was eating a ton of beans. i also ordered a churro which was the perfect small dessert. just one churro is really big, i would recommend sharing it! it is a cakey type of churro (not your typical light/airy churro) so a bit unexpected but very delectable. overall, i have heard that this is a michigan staple and i can see why! i would highly recommend stopping by! read more

6p on Saturday the line spanned the counter to the end of the building. By the time we reached the counter there was a parallell line. If ordering a batido, it's made & given while waiting to reach the register. A shot of rum can be added so you'd have a boozy milkshake! Once at the register, give your protein choice (single or double), desired toppings & sides, and more drinks if wanted. Seating is in the form of community picnic benches inside and out. Condiments, napkins, small cups. & water containers are in a depression in the center of the tables. There are no garbage cans for you to dispose of your own trash. I felt guilty about just leaving trash on the table. When food is ready, your name is yelled, & it's brought to you. read more
