I caught up with two of my girl friends in NYC
and we went to café frida, a Mexican restaurant on the upper west side. The
atmosphere and décor is fantastic. We sat upstairs and they had an indoor authentic-looking fake
roof. It's a very young, fun scene. We had chips
and guacamole to start – excellent, you can never go wrong with chips and guac. I had a
mojito to begin the night, it's a drink for special occasions, since I usually
drink white wine or vodka soda. They add tons of mint leaves, it was a great drink choice! Since I am
kosher, I eat vegetarian when I go out. I ordered the chile relleno – roasted
poblano pepper stuffed with sweet potato, wild mushrooms, toasted pumpkin
seeds, ricotta, fresco and cotija cheese. It sounded delicious but lets just
say I was very surprised when they brought my dish out. It was one green pepper
stuffed with what looked like pink mush. Much to my dismay, they pureed all of the vegetables. I would
have loved for the vegetables to have been chunky and it seemed from the
description they would cube the vegetables and cook it together. I would go
back to the restaurant but I can guarantee you I will not order that dish again.
