About this business
Frontera Grill is the sister establishment of the more well known, Topolobampo next door. Both restaurants are from the celebrated Chef Rick Bayless, however this spot focuses more on casual dining. On weekends, Frontera is always packed, but if you are lucky, you can grab a small stool at the bar with drinks and appetizers before the hostess finds your table. Basic margaritas are quite pricey, but one usually packs enough top shelf tequila to sate the palate before the food arrives. Some of the options on the menu include e... read more

Amazing food and service. We searched for a good authentic Mexican restaurant and we found it. Spicy pork tacos tasted so fresh and super tender. Had the chicken tomale appetizer which was big enough to be my meal...but... must have the champagne margaritas... and the pecan pie with kahlua cool whip. Service was spot on. Must do if looking for good upscale Mexican at reasonable price.
Amazing and authentic. Solid margs and food. Bayless? More like BayBest!
Everything we tried was fantastic! Definitely going to boomerang this place!
Pure Mexellence - always a great return when one signs on to a night at Frontera!
First of all, I want to say this before i get into my review. I am sure that Rick Bayless is a wonderful man and that he is indeed an extremely talented chef and restauranteur. That said, I can’t express how deeply let down and sad I am with our experience this past Saturday night at Frontera. For many years now, it’s has been a desire of both my wife and I to make it to Chicago to eat at one of Rick’s restaurants. It was one of the main reasons we made the trip this past wee...Continue Reading
It was beyond my expectations. How can such magic happen to a dish as simple as a Tamale. The depth and layer of flavors was so pure and humble. I had the birria lamb tamal, a fantastic margarita and a most refreshing and palette cleansing cucumber/lime water. I would have like to have tasted more from his intriguing menu but it was my fourth meal in Chicago this day. Including the excellent roasted guacamole from XOCO next door. I sat at the bar as I was dining alone. Excellent service and I loved the atmosphere.
Hard to decide what's worse, the taste of the food or the wait service. I didn't get food poisoning, so my visit was worth giving one star vs. zero stars.
Amazing food and service. Exceptional!! Between the five of us, we had chicken, ribs, beef and fishes dishes and they were all creative, elegantly presented and delicious!
Excellent food, drinks and atmosphere! Highly recommend the guacamole.
