Frida’s Contemporary Mexican Cuisine is now open in new location


After two years in its original location at 14861 Metcalf in Overland Park, the owners of Frida’s Contemporary Mexican Cuisine (including co-owner Ivan Marquez and his wife, Mary, and two minority partners) moved the restaurant to a much bigger venue at 7200 West 121st Street. The new Frida’s opened on Sunday after a whirlwind weekend of last-minute repairs and clean-up.
“We had customers, seeing that our lights were on, stop in on Saturday night to find out if we were open,” says Mary Marquez, “and when they saw we were frantically cleaning, several of them pitched in to help. Ivan had run an errand and when he walked in, he saw a group of our regular customers sweeping the floors.”
