Reviews for Frontera Grill in Chicago, IL

I just happened to be looking for somewhere to have lunch, as I saw this restaurant while walking down the street in what is to... me the unfamiliar city of Chicago. I am from California have been enjoying Mexican food since I was a child. I was not expectingto have the best Mexican meal I had EVER had. Hot damn! That is exactly what happened! Read more

Frontera Grill is a great choice for a dinner in Chicago. The staff is friendly, while the food is expertly cooked and tastes... delicious. I did feel like for the portions you got the pricing was kind of high, still a worthwhile restaurant to checkoutnonetheless. Read more

Absolutely delicious and worth the price tag. The carnitas were fatty in a good way and the endless tortillas was amazing.... Ceviche was great though I wish there was a bit more. Love the cafe de olla. Waiter was extremely friendly. The 20% gratuity isautomatic so be warned. Read more

Love this place! The food is seriously incredible and takes a fresh and creative spin on Mexican food. Expect to pay upscale... dining prices but know that you won’t regret it! It was an adventurous and flavorful dining experience and I got to try dishesI’ve never had before. Highly recommend! Read more

Was highly recommended this restaurant from a foodie friend who enjoys Rick Bayless’ restaurants. It did not disappoint!... Server was a little overworked, so I’ll fully let it slide that she couldn’t properly keep up. Drinks were great and thefood was superb, can without a doubt say this was the best meal I had in Chicago over the whole weekend. Will be recommending toall visiting friends! Read more

My wife and I enjoyed a great meal at Frontera Grill. We both agreed that it was the best authentic Mexican meal we have ever... eaten. Highly recommended. Read more

Customer service was great thanks to Alejandra who came to the rescue to help us secure seating. Food was wonderful but I would... say a tad overpriced. The green salsa and red were good. The sopes were delicious. The black beans were delicious. What botheredme was the 20% added on to the bill. To me this is unacceptable on so many levels. I should be able to decide on the gratuity.

My siblings and I grew up watching One Plate at a Time. Rick introduced us to Mexican cuisine beyond the tacos and burritos that... we knew. We admired not just his passion for the food but his love and respect for the culture. Needless to say, a siblings tripto Chicago would not be complete without a stop at one of Rick's restaurants. We tried not to hype ourselves up, mostly becausewe tend to get disappointed this way. We had reservations at 4:30pm because that was all that was available. We ordered a fewappetizers and they were all delicious. The chicken tortilla soup was flavorful and while it had the components of a typicaltortilla soup it was very different. this was the same with everything we ordered. Familiar yet completely different andincredibly delicious. The menu is ever changing so even if I list everything we had it may not be there next month. I will saywe enjoyed most of the dishes we ordered and even the ones we thought were "okay" had elements we really enjoyed. Whatever youdo, definitely get a dish with Mole. All three of us couldn't get enough of the mole sauce in each plate. All in all we wereincredibly satisfied with our meal and we can't wait to come back and try Topolobambo and XOCO. Note: We shared a small desserthere but we also went to XOCO for the churros and chocolate dip. Best churros and chocolate I've ever had. Read more
