Frontera Grill Chicago Beoordelingen
Well, I don't even know what to say.
I am speechless, but not in a good way. Something always has to be said when a restaurant adds an automatic 20% service charge/gratuity to your bill. The incentive for good service just is not there. First, it took a good 15-20 mins to get even an o

I love Rick Bayless' regional Mexican food, no doubt, and a recent lunch visit to Frontera Grill really hit the spot. I was tempted by the 3 course pre-fixe lunch menu ($32 pp over 60 minutes) but wasn't feeling that hungry. It's a goo

Wow. What a difference 5 years makes. Long time fan who made Frontera a top priority stop when in Chicago since the early days. Work brings me back to the area finally and sitting here at my table hoping I get a 2nd beer or maybe even my entree. I ju

First night in Chicago and we want Mexican food near the hotel. Latin music, festive atmosphere. Servers were pleasant. Food was great. You absolutely should try the tortilla soup!!
Disappointing.
Underwhelmed. I admit that my allergy to green peppers probably made things a little difficult, but even the food that did not have to be altered to facilitate my allergy was not good. We had the short rib with molè. It was not good. Tasteless and f
Would not recommend this at all.
Service was very bad chips and salsa were horrible bartenders gave horrible service. it used to be a great restaurant. I don't know what happened to it probably the management.

I would not normally leave a review if I had bad service or food. I just won't return. But I felt compelled to leave this one as I hope that management takes a hard look at what is the failings of what once was an outstanding part of the Chicago

Update: after having gone there for dinner several times, we tried the brunch on Sunday. Really enjoyed it. Partly because at 11am on a Sunday they weren't even half full, so it was much quieter than for dinner. Also lower prices! Breakfast en
Great Food
We were on a little foodie tour of Chicago and had a great time at Frontera. The food was great and the service was also very good. We would highly recommend.
Wow! Incredible Dinner.
After visiting Frontera Cocina several times in Orlando, I stumbled across this place while on a visit to Chicago and soon discovered it was Rick Bayless as well! I know that sounds dumb, but, I truly didn't know! Anyway, came here with some fri
Rated Mexican Restaurant
A highly recommended Mexican restaurant. The food is good and portions that one could share. Nice wine list and good staff. The noise level was a little high for me.
Must try in Chicago
Incredible food; ceviche, enchiladas de mole, and 3 meat plate. The cuatro leches cake and flan are also amazing. You will not be disappointed because my party said it was the best Mexican food that they ever had. I agree with them. Often Michelin
Dependably excellent Chicago restaurant
Once upon a time it was almost impossible to get a table at Frontera Grill. That is no longer the case. Although it is no longer the hottest, newest place, it is still serves excellent food with a very high level of service. The servers have a deep k
Authentic Mexican
We were in town for a couple days for a concert. We stayed downtown and strategically chose our restaurant lineup. We flew in the AM and after getting to our hotel walked to Frontera for lunch. Side Note- it seems 95% of “Mexican”‘restaurants
Wonderful Dinner!
An absolute wonderful dinner! We came to Chicago for the weekend but had book our reservation at Frontera Grill a month ahead of time and it did not disappoint. It started with Dave at the bar making the most delicious margarita I've ever had. T
Disappointing
I used to love Frontera Grill for its authentic flavors and high-quality dishes, but unfortunately, it has lost its magic. The food has become mediocre—nothing special or memorable. With so many incredible Mexican restaurants in Chicago now, Fronte

I should have read the one-star reviews before trying this restaurant. To elaborate, my Mom and I were recently in Chicago, a first visit for her. My Mom has several Rick Bayless cookbooks, so of course we made it a point to visit the restaurant on o
Overrated
This may be the most overrated restaurant I have ever eaten at. I will start with the positive. The flan I had for dessert was good. The drinks were solid. I had a mezcal margarita and some wine. Not bad. However, the tortilla soup was far too salty.
One of the few 'healthier' options at the ORD airport
One of the few 'healthier' options at the ORD airport terminal 3. You can order off the kiosk so it's very convenient, the options are pretty basic but I think you can also make your own sandwich? I opted for the arugula grilled chicken sandwich whic

Do not take a reservation in the last hour they are open or they will treat you badly. Yes it isnt what it used to be but i was getting off a plane at 8 pm and my hotel was a block away so i took their last 9:45 reservation for friday night. I was 2

the best Mexican food I've ever had I also had the chips and salsa and the bartender offered me some "extra spicy" salsa which was fantastic with the chicken
Incredible food, service and ambience .
We love frontera and have been eating here for over the past 10 years - every time we come to Chicago!! A must ! Perfection 10 out of 10
Very unsatisfying.
We have been there before and it was amazing. Seemed like we ordered, and about 3-5 minutes later. Our food was ready. We had apps and meals, and we're done in 30. Felt it was already made in the kitchen. Carne asada had very little taste. Mole

Visited the Orlando establishment- great drinks to start excellent fondue cheese with chorizo- the home made corn (my people call it Maze) tortillas- excellent - Try also the Aguas Frescas -
This was a place my husband and I were really looking
This was a place my husband and I were really looking forward to and it let us down. It started with our server. He was very inattentive to us but seemed incredible in attending to others around us. We thought maybe because the 20 percent gratuity is
Extremely good steak and chicken, very tender and juicy.
Portion sizes are a bit small for salsa, however pretty tasty. Guacamole did not have much flavor if any, a little disappointing. Service was well, and food was quick. Overall very good establishment and would recommend.
Always Outstanding
We have visted Chiacgo three times and make it a point to eat at Fronterra during each visit, The food and service are outstanding. It is also a plus to see Rick at the restaurant. Probably why the standards are maintained so high.
I visited on a weekday and had the $29 lunch special.
I got the Bayless Garden Salad, Baja Fish Tacos, and Tres Leches and everything was fine. Because of the Bib Gourmand status I was expecting more but it was just ok. The salad was delicious. The tacos were plentiful but I wasn't a fan of the sauces.
First time brunching at frontera grill.
Have been a fan of rick bayless for a while and didn't want to miss this place. I am not a big fan of Mexican food but I always say yes to rick bayless restaurants. Food was amazing and fresh. So many options to chose from. Servers were so friendly a

We went for lunch and it was such a good experience! We started with the chips and salsa (salsa verde and a red chili salsa). Both salsas are so deep in taste. I also got the Mezcal Margarita, which is my go-to. Love it! We chose from the lunch in
Food ok, Service horrible
We made a point to go to the Frontera Grill based on Rick Bayless’s reputation. If you’re looking for a traditional Mexican , enchiladas and tacos, this is not for you. The food was good, but not exceptional. However, the service was horrible.

We ate at Topolobampo on a Saturday night and decided to come back to Frontera grill for brunch on Sunday morning. Normally this place is very busy and tough to get into, but it was pouring rain when we walked up so we lucked into an open outside spa
Mediocre Mexican food for a steep price.
The salsa on top of my enchiladas tasted like it came straight from a can. Hosts were not friendly.

I've been to Frontera Grill a couple of times and was always seated at the tables in the bar area. I will echo the comments regarding the service. It was slow and not very friendly (almost had an attitude). We asked to not add the cilantro garnish an
I really love Rick Bayless food but was sorely disappointed
I really love Rick Bayless food but was sorely disappointed in the service. I'm all for giving good tips but has the 20% gratuity allowed for sub par service? I don't know but it wasn't great. Extremely slow and the waiter only came by a few times fo

Second time trying the downtown location and still can't give them a good review. They have decent food but the service is just abrupt and unwelcoming. The restaurant feels normal and similar to other places with dark wood. I had a pretty poor experi
Absolutely amazing! Everything had so much flavor and depth.
It was also nice to see Rick (chef) was there intermingling between his several restaurants on the same corner.
This was my go to place.
Went at least twice a week. But have to say besides drinks which are phenomenal food is a bit less than I was used to. By the way go Tuesday afternoon David the bartender is the absolute best
Great margarita the ambiance wasn't great at all as i was
Great margarita the ambiance wasn't great at all as i was facing the spot all the servers gathered and waited so lots of movement which was distracting. The food was average - i could have gotten the same thing for half the price in 100 other resta
What a great experience we had great service.
Our server was informative and also funny. We had questions and he guided us to the right choice. The food was spot on and was authentic. The atmosphere was festive and felt real. Just all around good vibe. This is a must visit.
Visiting Chicago during the National Restaurant Show.
Our group went to Frontera Grill for the 1st time and it didn't disappoint. The food was excellent overall. The classic Frontera ceviche was so refreshing and the trio ceviche offered different seafood spice levels and taste. Service was very good
Food and drinks are excellent (ceviche especially).
Service not so excellent - they also include a 20% gratuity fee on top of your bill... regardless of service. I would come back but will sit at the bar next time.
Fantastic Guacamole!
I have a few of Rick Bayless' cookbooks and watched his TV shows, so I was excited to go to Frontera Grill while we were in Chicago. We had an excellent lunch. First of all, the guacamole was fantastic. The food was so hearty and flavorful. The Puebl

Not as good as we hoped for
We were really looking forward to eating here, but it wasn’t as good an experience as we hoped. We felt rushed the whole time. The host was not very friendly, but she showed us to our table. It’s a very loud restaurant. Almost as soon as we we

Stel, Peter heeft een geweldige ochtend en besluit zijn drie vrienden mee te nemen naar Frontera Grill Chicago om 18:00 uur diezelfde dag.
Hij controleert de website van het restaurant en ziet dat er geen reserveringen beschikbaar zijn. Vervolgens bekijkt hij de Frontera Grill Chicago pagina op AppointmentTrader, maar ontdekt dat er ook geen aanbiedingen van andere gebruikers zijn.
