Chicago Restaurant Week (Limited Time)｜Frontera Grill 🇲🇽

Caught the last days of Restaurant Week and visited Frontera Grill with friends — located in prime River North real estate! 🔥 🥑 Recommended Dishes: 1️⃣ Frontera Ceviche — tuna with lime, tomato, olives, and cilantro. A classic appetizer — highly recommend! (⭐⭐⭐⭐) 2️⃣ Chicken Mole Poblano — grilled chicken breast with rich mole sauce (cocoa-infused, savory-sweet), served with charred broccoli — unique and delicious! 3️⃣ Mantaraya al Cilantro — originally skate wing, but they swapped in salmon that day 🍣. Pan-seared and tender. 4️⃣ Milanesa de Berenjena — crispy fried eggplant steak — surprisingly delightful texture! 🥑 Just Okay / Neutral: 1️⃣ Tamales de Elote, Esquites Fritos — sweet corn tamales with a slightly gamey note. Not for those sensitive to that flavor. 2️⃣ Desserts (on the sweeter side): Cuatro Leches Cake — moist and soft, with crispy almond slices. Chocolate Pecan Pie Bar — a bit hard and overly sweet. 📍 Address: 445 N Clark St 💰 Per person: ~$50 (added shrimp rice + 20% tip) 🅿️ Parking: 220 W Illinois St #HiddenGem #Chicago #RestaurantWeekChicago #ChicagoEats #UniversityOfChicago
