Frita Batidos Ann Arbor

Frita Batidos Ann Arbor is a restaurant in Ann Arbor, MI. It holds a rating of 4.70 from the customers who have reviewed it.

The kitchen serves the Cuban frita burger, a sandwich built from a mixture of ground pork and ground beef, seasoned with ketchup, onion, garlic, cumin, salt and smoked Spanish paprika, which gives the frita its distinctive flavor. The patties are cooked thin on a flat griddle and served on a toasted bun with special sauce, finely chopped raw onion and a heap of crisp shoestring fries packed inside the bun. The special sauce starts with ketchup mixed with vinegar, salt and Cuban spices - paprika, cumin and oregano - plus a dash of sriracha for heat. The frita began as a popular street food in Havana, Cuba, sold by friteros at sidewalk food stalls, and later found a following in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, where it remains a fixture at many cafes.

The restaurant sits on W Washington St, a short walk from South Main Street and West Liberty Street. The Ann Arbor Area Chamber of Commerce is about a tenth of a mile away, as are West Huron Street and East Huron Street. The Ark, a theater, is also roughly a tenth of a mile from the door.

Its 4.70 rating reflects consistently positive feedback from the diners who have eaten there.
