Peppers & Fries

20150126mohan

Steve Frias and his daughter Marie, the proprietors of Peppers & Fries, a new restaurant at 3900 E. Lake Street, pause for a photo during a bustling opening day. Frias grew up in the restaurant business—his parents launched Boca Chica in Saint Paul over 50 years ago. Peppers and Fries will specialize in scratch burgers and burritos, and the interior has an open, sports-themed ambience, with a focus on baseball.
