Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Frontera Cocina delivers an exceptional dining experience with "phenomenal" food and "exceptional Mexican" cuisine. Guests rave about the "fantastic drinks" and "friendly, attentive service." The lively atmosphere is enhanced by a Mariachi band, although it can be loud. Despite some portion size concerns, the innovative menu and delightful patio dining make it a must-visit.

    The food was extremely fresh and well prepared. We sat outdoors with a great view of the springs. We will dine here again.

    Great service. Food (chicken/pulled pork) seemed to be a bit dried out.
