I stopped in for a light bite and the tamal verde was delicious - the second one. I was surprised that the first tamal I was served was still hard and partially cold. Guess it came from the freezer. I sent it back and waited for a warm and soft one. It was wonderful, but I was surprised that there was no compensation or something small offered while I waited for one properly heated.
Frontera is a must for every trip I take to Chicago, and living there would require intervention from my daily reservations. Love the quality of the dishes. Ingredients are sourced with great care, and presentations feast the senses. Even the approach to enter the building is alluring and presages the fun, playful vibe once inside. And the staff are engaging and super helpful.
You can't really go wrong with Rick Bayless's restaurants. Service and atmosphere are absolutely terrific. The food is very good. It's hard to complain against some of the super excellent hole-in-the-wall Mexican places I've been to, but this is the upscale version of that. Everything was very well prepared. The drinks were spectacular and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. Staff were very welcoming even though we got there at the end of a busy lunch rush.
