La Casa de Frida

Cholula


This cavernous gem gives a nod to Frida Kahlo's home in Mexico City. Mexican handicrafts (plus the artist-owner's murals) are splashed throughout the courtyard, where Mexican musicians croon on one side and excellent flame-grilled steaks sizzle on the other. Service is excellent, there is a kids' playroom and the pipián verde (chicken in a spiced pepita sauce) is exceptionally complex.

A weekend buffet (9am to 2pm) is a popular way to have a taste of all of the classic Mexican dishes on offer.
