At Cafe Frida, Únětické 10° and 12° are on tap, complimented by a small but tasty menu of Mexican inspired cuisine and burgers. As all Únětické should be, the beer is fresh and cold, served with a frothy head in a dimpled mug. A third tap rotates between local Czech microbrews, often serving an ale or seasonal beer. With latino flare, quality Czech beer, and an artsy atmosphere, a visit to Cafe Frida is just one of the many reasons to visit Karlín.

The cuisine has a more homemade feel; it’s not authentic Mexican, but simple, honest, and accompanies an Únětické perfectly. At the time of our visit, the burgers were a pleasant surprise; tender, juicy meat, topped with a chipotle sauce and fresh veggies on a nice bun. With a choice of three fillings, the burritos fill a plate and are extremely tasty. You’ll also find nachos and quesadillas on the menu. In line with their latino theme, they have a large variety of rums, and you can even try a degustation.

Dimly lit, this high ceiled cafe/bar attracts a wide variety of clientele, from the younger artsy serious cafe goers, to older locals who enjoy the fine beer and rum. Service can at times be a bit slow, but the staff is friendly. Decorated with local art and a few colorful murals, Cafe Frida is a charming place where latino cafe culture meets one of the best Czech lagers.

Take trams 3 or 8 to stop Karlínské Náměstí or Cafe Frida is a 5 minute walk from the B metro station Křižíkova.
