It was our first time back in a while and we had a wonderful time. Always great food! Thank you!
My visits to Chicago is not complete without a meal here. Incredible experience each time I've been. Food, drinks, service all exceptional. Counting the days until I can return.
I lived in Mexico, and have traveled throughout Mexico and Latin America. My meal at Frontera was fantastic.

Frontera Grill, a renowned restaurant in Chicago, offers a diverse menu of flavorful dishes, including shrimp, chicken, and mole specials. The restaurant's ambiance is described as cool, and the service is praised as top-notch. Customers enjoy the attentive staff and delicious desserts like flan and tres leches. The different salsas provided can be quite spicy, so diners should be prepared. While the location is prime, parking in the River North area can be a challenge. Wheelchair accessibility is good, with an elevator to reach the private room upstairs.
The restaurant has received positive reviews, with customers praising the exceptional mole dishes and the reasonable prices for a downtown Chicago establishment. Highlights include the slow-roasted pork ribs in mole sauce, the "deconstructed chelada" with a shot of mezcal, Tecate, and tomato juice, and the heavenly tres leche cake. Customers also enjoyed the special short rib mole, which had a wonderful complex flavor, and the blue corn tortillas. The quality of the dishes is highly praised, with ingredients sourced with great care and presentations that feast the senses. The staff are engaging and super helpful, creating a fun, playful vibe.
