Customer Reviews
Fronteras Mexican Grill is a gem. The owners were genuinely kind and welcoming — you can tell they care about their customers. The food? Absolutely delicious. I ordered two quesadillas and they were loaded, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The al pastor was next level — juicy, seasoned just right, and easily the standout. If you want great food and even better people. The prices were shocking as well!! I’ll definitely be back.
Great Flavors, But a Few Missed Opportunities I recently tried the new Mexican restaurant in town with a Chipotle-style setup and an open kitchen, where you can build your own bowl, tacos, burritos, tortas and quesadillas. Overall, the flavors were fantastic, but a few small tweaks could make the experience even better. I opted for a *steak bowl using arrechera* (a well-marinated, quality cut), which was delicious—tender and full of smoky, savory flavor. My only complaint? The steak was cut into very small pieces, making the portion feel skimpy for the price. Larger, more substantial bites would’ve made it more satisfying. The rice options stood out—I loved that they offered both white rice and Mexican rice(a nice authentic touch). They also had three bean choices (black, pinto, and ref
I recently picked up for take out. I ordered the steak bowl. The steak was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The use of fresh ingredients as I could see everything that was being added right in front of me. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch. If you're looking for a place with great steak and fresh flavors, this restaurant is a must-visit!
Stopped in for dinner and I have to say, this place is a winner. I love the open-concept kitchen – it's great being able to see the food being prepared right in front of you. You can really see and taste the freshness of the food, which I truly appreciate.The steak arrachera was incredible, and I had the chance to sample several of the meats. They were all delicious, making it tough to pick a favorite! They also have aguas frescas! Horchata, tamarindo and jamaica!! The staff was also super sweet and attentive, making the whole experience even better.
Best Mexican style food I’ve tasted that is close to my home, really love how they have a make your own bowl or burrito just like chipotle but with actual Mexican style options. Prices are great for the amount of food you get. The place is a little small but not too crowded.
