Fodor's Review:

Better known as the Red Cabbage (its English name), this restaurant is by—but doesn't overlook—the Cuale River. It's hard to find the first time out, but it's worth the effort for the international comfort food. Homesick Canadians fill up on chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce, while Italians indulge in pasta with fresh tomatoes; there are even a few Russian dishes. Frida's Dinner includes an aperitif of tequila followed by cream of peanut soup, white or red wine, chile en nogada (a mild chili decorated with colors of the Mexican flag), a main dish from the Yucatán or Puebla, and flan for dessert. Romantic ballads fill the small space, and the walls are crowded with movie posters and head shots of international stars. Here's the quandary: some patrons rave about the service, and others lambaste it.

Yes, it's a little hard to find but worth the trip. Charming little place with lots of Frida Kalo prints and old movie posters. Excellent Mexican specialties and the best margaritas in town. You'll definitely need reservations in high season.

I am sorry to read the bad report. One never knows but we love it here and go very often. Hi to Lola and be sure to check out the banos.
BTW, I adore El Arrayan and Carmen!!!
