Made from recipes handed down by the owner's ancestors, the Mexican cuisine at Frida is as traditional and authentic as it gets on this side of the border -- well, at least for Beverly Hills. Patrons eagerly tuck into handmade soft tacos brimming with sautéed shrimp bathed in a dark, tangy pasilla-orange sauce (fantastic), or generous portions of carnitas in an annatto-seed sauce topped with onion-habanero relish and served over fresh corn tortillas. A few standouts include the dark, rich chicken mole simmered in ground pumpkin-seed sauce, and charbroiled filet mignon on a bed of dry chile and Mexican truffle sauce (cuitlacoche). The wide selection of superb margaritas is the perfect accompaniment to the spicy dishes. Tip: Frida also has locations at the Brentwood Country Mart, 225 26th St., Brentwood (tel. 310/394-9440), and at the new Americana at Brand mall (750 Americana Way, Glendale; tel. 818/551-1666).

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
