The food is absolutely



outstanding. However be fore warned! This place does not have a reservation system, so it is very difficult to get into. Basically have to show up right when it opens to get seated right away. We waited for 2 hours, but it was worth it. Extremely good food. Definitely recommended. - Marquette, MI guy, 03/04/2003

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, Rick Bayless is a fabulous chef. However, I believe it has gone downhill, the service and food are marginal, and the creativity has left the restaurant - rchell, 09/20/2005

Frontera Grill is our favorite! The first time I ate their was in 1988 and have continued going their through the years. We wish they would take reservations for parties of under five. Food is excellent, service can vary, the wait is l o n g. - Barbara B, 05/08/2006

Simply a great place to eat great authenic Mexican food! - Gustavo R, 09/20/2005

We visited the restaurant on August 8th lunch time. My wife and I, took our 4 kids ages 2,7,8,9. The food was excellent. I sensed that the Hostess didn't like the idea of all thes kids in the place when she told me the wait was 1 hour. Once she knew we would stay, we were seated in less than 5 minutes. The kids loved the Guac. My wife and I loved the Margaritas and all the food. Our server was not up to the challenge that day. He routinly forgot about us through out the meal. I highly recomend this place for the food and Mararitas. Have fun - KC Family, 08/08/1999
