Frontier Restaurant

Tasty food that was ready quickly. Fun, relaxed vibe with tons of tables. Seems like they get pretty busy but they've got a good system down. We were there around 9:30pm when it wasn't busy and our order was ready in under 5 minutes. Order at a counter and they have order number screens around the restaurant so you know when yours is ready. Kind of a sit-down style meal with fast good speed and ordering. Lots of locals and very inexpensive

After reading all the positive reviews, my husband and I went here last night with high hopes. Sadly, we were disappointed. It could be that we are used to authentic Mexican food. We have lived all our lives in deep South Texas close to the Mexican border. With that said, the food at Frontier lacked the flavor I was expecting. It was average to us. Sorry. I did like the flour tortilla though. The people working there are friendly too and there’s plenty of seating. Parking is a little tough, but we found a spot right away.

Fabulous home style authentic New Mexican family owned restaurant. Enjoy the local art, sculptures, paintings while you dine on great homestyle cooking, friendly fast service. FIVE STARS!!! Parking: They have purchased several seperate lots behind the restaurant for additional parking. First 45 min. is free!

We really enjoyed our time here. Frontier is a very busy place, with good food at unbeatable prices. We saw several people playing chess and checkers like, seriously playing! Taking notes of the moves and all… how neat is that? I had half order of chicken nachos, which tasted like homemade food, as well as my friend’s burrito. She also ordered a sweet roll with topping we believe is cinnamon butter, which was fresh and warm. It’s a very simple, familiar place to have a decent meal for an affordable price. Nothing fancy nor pretentious, Frontier is where locals come at all times and 45 years of history must have a good reason. Definitely returning. P.s. “Then, why 4 stars only?” You might be wondering… well, when I give 5 starts in a review, it is because the place is simply out of this world, in my opinion. I’m sure many of you may give it the 5 stars, which is absolutely fine, but I am a bit tough about ratings. Anyways, don’t miss the chance to stop by Frontier. Parking: Limited parking on the street and behind the building. Wheelchair accessibility: The back door has a ramp and an automatic door.

A classic ABQ greasy-spoon counter-serve staple. There’s just the one location on Central. The atmosphere is Western-meets-60s-diner. The same owners own Golden Pride. When your order number is shown on the screens throughout the restaurant, you go and pick it up and then visit the condiment and drink stations. The fries were nice and crispy. I ordered the Bonanza burger, which has double meat, American cheese, 1000 island dressing, tomato, pickles, onions & lettuce. I ordered mine with extra dressing. The burger was good. I wish it had come on a plate in addition to the paper burger holder. Overall, if you’re in the mood for a dive near the university campus, it’ll fit the bill. Kid-friendliness: A great place for children.

This is a pretty iconic Albuquerque eatery from what I’m told. It has a unique atmosphere and the building has a lot of character and history. The food is solid. I want to come back and try some more items. Loved the green Chile stew. The hard taco uses a shell similar to Taco Bell, but better. If the ground beef tacos at Taco Bell or as good as they are at frontier, people would be lining up out the window all day long to get them. I want to come back and try the chicken taco. Huevos rancheros were solid. I had them with green and red chili, one each, Christmas style. The green chili cheeseburger was also good and the fries were crispy and delicious.

I love this place. I haven't been in 12 years and coming back to Albuquerque it felt like home stepping in here again. I had a long drive ahead so I didn't want to overstuff myself so I got a half order of chicken enchiladas with red sauce. It came with rice and a fresh tortilla. What can I say the fresh tortillas are my favorite, and the red chile is very flavorful. The only downside of this place is the parking. If you park on the side or front you have to pay for a meter and it's usually hard to get a spot. If you go down the alley, for about the next 5 or 6 buildings on both sides of the alley there are 45 minutes free parking spots or $5 for every extra hour. I got lucky to eventually find a spot but nearly gave up. Glad I didn't give up though cause this place is so darn good. And for my enchilada and drink spent only a little over $9 which is not bad. Parking: If you park in back down alley it is free for first 45 minutes. $5 an hour after. Street parking is metered.

Walk up counter service Mexican food joint. Food is good. There is a ton of southwest art work. Dominated by John Wayne. Plenty of seating to handle even large crowds.Food: 4/5

This is a large and apparently very popular restaurant in Albuquerque just across the street from the University of New Mexico. It was recommended to us by our grandson who goes to school there. It is set up like fast food restaurant where you order at the front and wait until your number is called. We had to wait quite a while for our order and then had to go get it. To me, I had a cheese burger and fries, it was quite ordinary. Would have been just as happy with a true fast food burger.

Every time i come to ALB i stop by this place. Good food. Good place. You will see students every where since ita opposite to the university of NM. Late night spot. Cheap eats. Always warm. I got combo plate with sweet roll. I also got orange juice freshly squeezed. Slept happily that night.
