If I was by myself or with a women I would've ordered more honestly, kindof wish I got to try more of the menu... but still had a wonderful experience. The staff was ofcourse super friendly!

I'm rating La Casa de Frida a bit generous (it's really a 3.5) because I live in Merida and I…read morereally miss Central Mexican food. I just returned from Puebla and this mole and Chile en Nogada don't hold a candle to the ones I had there however, in Merida these things are hard to get and as such, due to a lack of competition I'm giving La Casa de Frida four stars. I've eaten here several times and have a tendency to forget about the place as it's not on a section of Calle 61 that has many businesses even though it's only 2.5 blocks from the Plaza Grande. Merida is in Yucatan and it might as well be in another country other than Mexico. When someone wants to satisfy that craving for "real Mexican" food they don't have a lot of options but La Casa de Frida can satisfy that craving. La Casa de Frida is a very eclectic place that is Frida Kahlo themed with bright pink and blue walls and pictures of Frida or copies of her artwork covering just about every inch of the walls. Even the tables and tablecloths are Frida themed. One room has AC and the rest have fans so if you're hot ask for clima. We sat in the courtyard which is somewhat covered and brighter than the rest of the restaurant. No matter when you come here you will probably have the place to yourself as there's rarely anyone else in the building. Being almost August we came for Chile en Nogada and also Mole Poblano. The Chile was stuffed more with fruit than meat which was fine for me. It's not battered and deep fried like many are. The walnut sauce was not cold like it usually is in Puebla however it tasted fine. Because the bare pepper is showing under the sauce and the sauce is hot it doesn't look as good in photos but note the flavor was fine. It wasn't as good as the one I just had at Hotel Colonial in Puebla but I paid 300 pesos there and at La Casa de Frida it's 150 so there's that. We had two dishes with mole - enchiladas and pollo en mole. The mole has a nice flavor and a bit of heat that builds as the meal progresses. It's not as strong or smooth as ones I've had in Puebla but again this is Yucatan so we can't measure with that stick. Also both of these dishes were 100 pesos which is pretty cheap. We also ordered a margarita and an agua jamaica. The drink menu isn't very long but both were as good as they get in Merida. The jamaica came with a quite a lot of foam on it and it wasn't as sharp and bitter as most while also not being too sweet. The total bill for three people with three drinks was $430 pesos which I think is reasonable. The service has gotten better since I've been coming here in the last year. There used to be a guy that would drop food off and then disappear in the back for another 30 minutes. Today a lady was working and we never waited too long for anything.

Camarones al Coco Enchiladas de Mole Poblano and Enchiladas Verdes was our picks and I will say my favorite was Enchiladas de Mole Poblano they were so tasty and truly tasted like real poblano Mole they were filled with shredded chicken and came with rise on the side I mixed the mole with the rise and it was delicious. Camarones al Coco was the second best plate shrimp was very good and the coconut gives a great flavor. Enchiladas Verdes was not so good it was just okay I even didn't eat the last one and my auntie said if Gabriel didn't eat that last one is not because he is not hungry anymore I'm pretty sure he just didn't like it, ohh well... she knows me well hahaha. Over all the restaurant is good and customer service is very good too. I do recommend it and I think you will have a great experience and a good meal to enjoy.

Located near the historical center of Merida, you'll find that the surrounding ambience to be a very colonial vibe. Parking is also easy in the many lots where it's basically 18 pesos a hour. We got the Combinado Vallisoletano with everything in it, which is a pretty large plate and easily serves two. Comes with 4 Pibihuas (2 cochinita and 2 lomitos), Longaniza Asada (A long and spicy sausage), Carne Ahumada (Diced meat that goes with the tortillas), and a few other sides. Not a bad price and works well as something to munch on. IMO their best item is the Pibihua, or the stuffed shell with meat. Very crunchy on the outside and filled with meaty pork loin or pulled pork, both are very good. Overall a good experience.
