I went here on the advice of a local. I was told it was really good and really authentic. I got in line and ordered the red Chile enchiladas, paid and waited for my number to be called. The food looked fresh and was hot. The side salad a nice addition to the main entree and rice. It was good ... not the best I've ever had but really good. I was hoping for a little more red chili flavor. I also tried the green enchiladas. I like those too. Again really good but not the best. Update: it’s 7 years since my last visit and I had the green chili stew. Wow! Sooo delicious!

Great food in a key location near UNM. They even have a security guard on duty. So it feels safe.

I've seen this restaurant for years, but never stopped in before. I believe it is about a block long and accommodates a lot of people. I ordered at a counter and was given a ticket with a number on it and both listened and saw on a screen my ticket number indicating to go back to the counter to pick up my food order. Pretty much self service with drink station and picking up utensils. The food I ordered was simply okay. I'm glad I finally got to experience this restaurant. Nostalgic, and no reason for me to return.
Parking: Located across from the University of New Mexico with shops and other restaurants around. Free parking lot behind the restaurant and metered street parking.
Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the ground floor and I did not notice any stairs, so wheelchairs are accessible.

Nice place to visit, got lucky with a parking spot in the back against the wall instead of street parking with the homeless dude there.
Tons and tons of options to order!
I got the burger and horchata and that was pretty good, the corn tortillas were pretty wet so to say and ended up getting flour tortilla instead which was better.
Lots of seating and staff was super friendly and accommodating
Parking: Limited parking in the back or paid street parking
I’m in Abq typically for two days and I always eat here at least twice a month. There is something about this place that’s cozy. Perhaps how simple it is. The customer is a solid 10/10.
Other so called “upper fancy restaurants in Abq are not even close to the level of customer service” like in Frontiers.
Whoever is in charge of the customer service specifically the cashiers is doing a fabulous job in training.

Decades of reliably delicious, fast, friendly, food at great prices. A local icon for decades and a must-do stop whenever we are in town. Carne adovada burrito and fresh squeezed OJ are the best!
Parking: Parking is easy to find in the alley behind the restaurant.

The frontier is classic. The food is outstanding. This place is great for a date night, a family outing. You definitely will not be disappointed.
Vegetarian options: I'm not a vegetarian so I wouldn't really be able to tell you.
