Frontera Grill β Restaurant Week Lunch
Chicago Restaurant Week 2026 at Frontera Grill π²π½. A classic Mexican spot, and everyone at the table left happy π. We tried all the appetizers β no misses! π₯ Standout: sweet corn masa dumplings with a creamy coconut/milk flavor. π Also loved the fish tostada β light and refreshing. Mains were distinct and well-executed: π Chicken β tender, flavorful, with a unique sauce. π Fish β excellent texture. π₯© Steak (medium-rare) β juicy and perfectly cooked. π° Dessert: Tres leches cake with papaya and mango β sweet but enjoyable. We joked that swapping papaya for grapefruit would turn it into a solid mango pomelo sago dessert π₯. π¨ The restaurant is decorated with Mexican modernist art β earthy tones, sculptural figures, bold and expressive. π¨βπ³ Service was a bit rushed (they automatically add 20% service fee), but overall a satisfying meal! #ChicagoRestaurantWeek #FronteraGrill #MexicanFood #ChicagoEats #RestaurantWeek2026
