books you read, or whose show you’ve watched. You might as well “connect the dots,” so to speak and visit Frontera on this trip. Also, if you are willing to spend the extra money, you might try Topolombapo,...

Will be eating at the Frontera Grill for the first time tomorrow night (am planning to arrive early). Anything I shouldn’t miss? or does the menu change too often to really recommend anything?

The Frontera Grill and Topolobampo in Chicago are the only two restaurants directly managed by Bayless. When I ate there last he was adamant that he was not going to open elsewhere. Frontera Fresca is a chain run by Macy’s...

I am heading to the Chi for the weekend. I have reservations for Frontera Grill, anyone have dishes they would reccomend? Where is the best place to get a true Chicago Dog? Any places that I should also hit up (I dont want Pizza)?

Beverator is the winner. This is vacation week, straight from the horse’s mouth (or in this case, the chef’s website, www.rickbayless.com): "Annual Vacation time for Frontera Grill & Topolobampo – We will be closed...

Frontera Grill is my favorite restaurant in Chicago. There’s still a lot of places I need to try (a visit to Blackbird is going to happen sooner rather than later), but so far the food here is top notch, waitstaff has...

shrimp. De Cero’s shrimp tacos and Chilpancingo’s shrimp/chipotle quesadillas are vastly superior (as is the one served at the real Frontera Grill). The side salad was delicious—fresh/tasty mixed greens, not...

whenever a visitor comes to town, one of the standard recommendations is you have to go to frontera grill/topolobampo. I can’t speak for topolobampo, but i had the opportunity to have dinner at both frontera and the ixca...

I finally had a chance to check out the other taco truck in this neighborhood. La Frontera is parked in the furniture store lot near the corner of Sonoma Blvd. and Marineworld Pkwy, across the road from Jack-in-the-Box. The...

We are coming to NY in Mid Dec. My wife loves Frontera Grill in Chicago. Can anyone suggest somewhere comparable?

I was walking by Rick Bayless' Topolobampo and Frontera Grill the other night and found them both closed and paper covering the windows of, I think, Topolobampo. Not that I’ve been impressed by either one (I was on my way...

torta. I got the 'grilled steak torta', and a sweet corn and green chile tamale. Tortas are advertised as being served with 'avocado, Frontera (copyright sign here!) black bean spread, dressed greens, pickled tomato, and 'smoky...

I love making a grilled flat iron steak and seasoninging it well with olive oil, lime juice and coating it heavily with Bayless' Frontera Chipotle Chile powder and rub. I serve it with Barefoot Contessa’s Guacamole salad...

Coming to Chicago (from NC) this weekend for a family event, and we all want to experience Frontera. Thanks to this board I now know they don’t take reservations and are likely to be jammed. If it turns out to be too much...

food was excellent, we ate at the frontera grill for lunch in 2006. There was a group of 6 and we all ordered something different and sampled, everything was great. We especially enjoyed the lamb dish, can;t remember the name of...
