very mexican
Great Place to meet a new Friend!
I went there on my last night in PV and wish I went sooner! I went for a starter drink and closed the place!
Not enjoyable
I don'tunderstand the attraction of Frida's. I stop in time to time when I'm in PV, my home away from home, because they get an earlier "crowd" (10-20 people) than the other bars. But I never stay long. The place is unbelievably filthy. I'm afraid to touch anything. When they moved to a new location I thought it would be clean for a while but it seems they took the dirt with them. I won't drink from anything except a beer bottle that I witness them open. I'm not a fussy guy but I've gotten sick from drinking from the glasses there before (and at Paco Paco once too). That's enough to ruin a vacation beleive me. Maybe it's the place, but the people there look dirty too - they probably aren't but that place makes everything and everyone look dingy. It's my theory everyone becomes unattractive and dirty the minute they walk through the door because I've never seen anyone the least bit attractive there. Ever.
authentic fun, with a gay twist
Frida's has been serving the locals and tourists for the past 9 years and I've been there several times a year for 8 of them. I've met many wonderful people from all over the world in this unpretentious slice of Mexican heaven. The decor pays homage to Frida Kahlo, Mexico's female folk hero and culture icon. Owner's Tom and Luis always hand you a shot of the best tasting tequila in Mexico if they find out it's your first time in the bar. If you don't meet a few friends here, you won't like Mexico at all.
Cheapest Beer in PV
Tom came over and we had tequila shooters on the house, the minute I walked in. He is super friendly so how could anyone complain? The place is very casual and feels like a true Mexican "cantina."
