Almost Perfect

Okay, their prices have gone up, and they removed all the wonderful Frida Kahlo portraits recently, and the staff is sweet but slow -- however, Cafe Frida still rocks. You will find impeccably prepared, fresh food beyond the basics of fajitas and quesadillas to the adventurous and regional (try the seafood soup, a kind of Mexican bouillabaise), some of the best salsa in town, great margaritas made with fresh lime juice for a change...and best of all, it's near the Museum of Natural History, an area notable for its lack of decent and decently priced restaurants.
