Frida takes some fascinating liberties with the traditional. Gourmet ingredients add a depth of flavour to the most simple of dishes. Duck "Carnitas" tacos have an irresistibly delicate texture, and a creaminess accented by the guacamole garnish. The "fresco" cheese mixed with shredded flank steak on tostadas (Tostadas de Sapicon Yucateco "Dzik") tastes exactly that (fresh), with a tangy and cool finish, intensified by its chilled temperature. And that bowl of melted cheese (with some peppers, herbs and tortillas for dipping) - it's called Queso Fundido con Rajas, and it's the best idea ever.
