Fronteras "Tapas-Tequila-Wine"

I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Pir family favorite. There is nothing that Ive tried that I haven't LOVED.

This is not your topical Mexican restaurant. This is a Latin gem with a large selection of different food from many different Latin cultures done very well. Highly recommended. This is our second time back and not our last.

Dropped in for dinner loved the big menu and the margarita list was solid. Tried the birria tacos and the queso dip with chips flavorful and generous portions. Service was friendly, though it took a while to get our food during the dinner rush. The patio was nice, and ambiance was upbeat without being loud. Prices were a bit higher than expected, but overall a fun spot I'd go back to just maybe during happy hour next time.

🍴 Food & Drink Breakdown:

Tacos ($4–5 each)
✔️ Always the safest bet. Fluffy tortillas, fresh toppings, and consistently solid flavor.

Queso Fundido with Shrimp & Chorizo ($12.99)
✔️ Rich, melty, shareable — it’s a repeat order.

Birria Ramen ($13.50)
❓Not mine, but I tried it. Good enough to say we did — not enough to chase again.

Carne en Su Jugo ($15.75)
Hearty, comforting, and packed with steak, bacon, beans, and nopales. Worth trying if you like stew vibes.

Pork Belly Guac (Market Price)
Heavy. Fun to try, but you’ll want hot sauce or tortillas to cut the fat.
👉🏽 Pro Tip: Sub a pork belly taco + side of guac if you’re solo or just curious.

Burrito Plate (~$13–$15)
🚫 A skip. Too much lettuce, underseasoned rice — doesn’t live up to the tacos.

Spicy Mango Cocktail ($12)
🔥 This one hits. Not too sweet, nice heat, and dangerously drinkable. Pricey, but worth it.

⸻

🤖 The Vibe:

Loud lights, louder drinks, and a robot that brings alcohol to your table.
You tap the screen to send it away. Pure spectacle — but fun.
Ideal for:
🎉 Casual birthdays
👯‍♀️ Girls’ night
🍸 Pre-game eats
🏈 Watching the game with tacos

⸻

👀 Service Notes:
• Staff was kind, quick, and on top of things.
• Prices reflect cash payment (there’s a card upcharge).
• No free chip/salsa refills — plan your order accordingly.
• That robot? Just for drinks — don’t expect your food to follow.

⸻

🟡 Final Take:

Fronteras isn’t trying to be deep — it’s trying to be a good time.
Stick to tacos, queso, and cocktails, and you’ll probably leave happy.
Over-order, or start getting too “experimental,” and the hit-or-miss shows.

✅ Good for fun nights out
✅ Better with a small group
✅ Even better with cash in hand

⸻

📌 Save this if you like vibrant spots with good tacos and wild drinks

Did not even eat there. The hostess did not even greet us, just stared at us. I had to ask if we can get a table. She was also rude to a doordash person that came in so we just left after witnessing that. Advice to the manager, please train your hostess. That is the first person customers see and sets the tone for the rest of the experience at your establishment. Don't know if the food is good or not, now we'll never know because won't be back.

The server disappeared for the majority of the time we were there. Several servers just standing around. Had to ask for boxes then the check from a different server. Our server finally showed up ti deliver my card and receipt. Food was just okay and the place was pretty empty but loud! Not visiting again. One and done.

I absolutely love this place! They have a huge selection of dishes. Not just Mexican food. They now have a super cute robot that delivers beverages to the tables! It’s pretty cool to see. The service was amazing and the food was made quickly and tasted delicious! The Texas Dip is one of my favorites and I am so glad they have it on the menu. We tried the Mexican street corn, birria tacos, and nachos. You get your moneys worth eating here. I definitely recommend and will be back again and again!

We ordered Raha tacos and husband ordered some beef tacos. Everything was bland. Raha tacos did not have any salt and it does not come with any sauce. It was not a good experience. Not going back. All the items were bland. I did not like spending $96 on this food. Waste.

The food was decent and we’d go back. Their street tacos were better than other Mexicans places. Enchiladas and burritos were a little worse. They must not do chips and salsa like other Mexican places. I asked the server about it but didn’t really understand what they said back.
