If you’re strolling through Ann Arbor and you haven’t made your way to Frita Batidos, you’re seriously missing out on a culinary treasure. Nestled at 117 W Washington St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104, this quirky little spot serves up Cuban-inspired street food that packs a flavorful punch. Imagine juicy burgers (called fritas), crispy fries, and tropical milkshakes (aka batidos) coming together in one heavenly bite-slurp combo. That’s Frita Batidos for you, folks. The vibe here is as cool as the food is delicious — communal tables, casual seating, and a laid-back energy that screams “stay a while.” It’s the kind of spot where you can devour a loaded frita with messy fingers and still feel like you’re living your best life.
Let’s talk about the menu, because it’s what dreams are made of. Their signature Beef Frita is an absolute must — think spiced chorizo-style beef patty topped with shoestring fries on a soft Cuban bun. Vegetarians, don’t worry; the Black Bean Frita is just as epic, loaded with flavor and good vibes. And those batidos? They’re milkshakes with a tropical twist — from coconut cream to passion fruit, you’ll want to try them all. Pro tip: add a shot of rum if you’re feeling adventurous. Oh, and don’t forget the sides. Their garlic cilantro fries and crispy plantains deserve their own fan clubs.
But it’s not just the food that keeps people coming back; it’s the whole Ann Arbor vibe. Frita Batidos is smack dab in the heart of this lively college town, surrounded by art galleries, unique shops, and cozy cafes. After stuffing yourself with Cuban goodness, take a stroll down Washington Street or explore nearby landmarks like Nickels Arcade or The Diag at the University of Michigan. The area buzzes with energy, especially during football season when Wolverines fans flood the town in maize and blue.
Ann Arbor itself is a gem, blending big-city culture with small-town charm. It’s a hub for foodies, art lovers, and outdoorsy types alike. If you’re into nature, you can escape to the Huron River or Nichols Arboretum, both just a short drive away. And if live music or indie films are your thing, the legendary Michigan Theater is right around the corner from Frita Batidos. This city knows how to keep the good times rolling.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Frita Batidos is more than just a meal — it’s an experience. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is vibrant, and the flavors are unforgettable. Trust me, once you take a bite of a frita and wash it down with a batido, you’ll be planning your next visit before you even leave the table.
