No. 46: Tacos de cochinita from Frida’s

No, it’s not Frida Kahlo’s recipe, but these tacos are pretty as a picture

To whet your appetite for The Pitch’s annual Best of Kansas City issue in October, we’re celebrating our favorite 50 dishes from restaurants, bakeries, coffeehouses, bars, drugstores, saloons, and other metro joints. Until October 7, we’ll feature one outstanding dish or beverage each weekday. Agree with us or make your own suggestions — just don’t come between us and these fantastic things to eat or drink.

It’s a tribute to the power of lust that this deliciously seasoned dish inspires at Frida’s Contemporary Mexican Cuisine that I longed for them even after the waitress who served us that afternoon scandalized my sensibilities by serving our beverages with her fingers on the rims of the glasses! (Who trained her, I want to know? A mechanic?).

But the tacos were worth getting over even that petty annoyance.
