Critic Reviews

Chicago Tribune star star star 01/07/05

(Frontera Grill) always seems fresh and innovative, mostly because chef/owner Rick Bayless simply won't let his concept stagnate. The menu changes monthly, and one-third to one- half of every menu consists of new dishes. - Phil Vettel

Definitely the best Mexican I've ever had. Ceviche was to die for! Fantastic atmosphere, as well. A must-see stop in the city.
