Frida is a Mexican restaurant with a French influence, so the menu may seem kind of weird when you are reading the different dishes. The restaurant is very original and it is kind of small. They also have the outdoor dining part, but only if it's full inside do they open that part. On one of the walls, they have a list with the prices of all the things they bought for the decoration of the restaurant.

The waiters really give an outstanding service and they are always paying attention to what you need at all moments. The restaurant is also open to people not staying at the resort, so it has prices on the menu and let me tell you that it's very pricey if you’re not going the all-inclusive way.

Frida is considered one of the best restaurants in the Vallarta area, so if you’re staying here, don't let the opportunity to eat here go by! DON'T FORGET TO MAKE RESERVATIONS; THEY’RE REQUIRED IF YOU WANT TO DINE HERE!!!

Well, I went there as part of the all-inclusive program offered by Grand Velas. The restaurant is really nicely decorated. The food is Mexican "high cuisine." However you want to call it, the food and service will be perfect and delicious!!!!! I´ve never thought of such a nice restaurant.

We ate at Frida three of the seven nights we were at the resort. It was never full on the nights we were there, which we thought was a shame because we thought people should really have taken advantage of the food and service there. The service is what you'd see in the finest restaurants.

The first night we had fish entrees that we were disappointed with because did not taste fresh. But the other nights, we had meat entrees that were delicious. We were fortunate enough to be there the week that they switched to their summer menu and so had more variety to choose from. The beef filet and lamb dishes were some of the best we had all week. Also they have a decent but not great selection of wines that are included in the all-inclusive package. They do pour generously though. Maybe desserts are different in that area, but we felt that the desserts were the weakest course of an otherwise excellent meal. The tableside making of the Mexican coffee is definitely worth ordering it.

The views of the sunsets from the restaurant are beautiful.

This is not your regular Mexican restaurant. It's a whole different picture -- a Mexican restaurant with a French touch.

When they give you the menu, you will be surprised by the exotic dishes they offer. I recommend you to try the bean and oyster soup and the lobster soup. For dessert, the watermelon soup is delicous -- I know it sounds weird but it's DELICIOUS!!!

The waiters are very friendly and helpful and they can recommend a good wine or appetizer. You have to try the Mexican coffee with tequila -- it's a MUST!

It's very important to make a reservation because this restaurant is always in demand. Since it's not a huge restaurant, you may not be able to get a table if you don't make reservations.
