"Honestly I usually get hungry late at night and not too many places are open. But they are essentially always open. I usually like to get their Mexican pizza and it's a pretty good size. I recommend it. Packaging feels a little fancy for late night food but hey, I'm not complaining."

"Their food is amazingggggggg! Omg this looks place is most definitely a hidden gem my hubby and I found. The baked potato with all the meat and toppings was yummy! Also the Vampiroes! Recommend the steak and pork! Ie Asada!!! Hands down the best place! Tortillas are made fresh daily! We're from florida and struggled finding a really good authentic spanish restaurant and this is it! Keep up the good work !"
"Food was good. Asada Torta was delicious, meat tasted fresh off the grill. 3 Quesabirrias w/ consome Dinner was good but I expected it to be cheesier. Portions were generous and great. The 4 oz Salsa Red Or Green were all red except for two. We do not get the sour cream we requested. Overall, delicious meal with a couple caveats but I would definitely reorder."

"Best place to order never got an order with lack of ingredients they always fill the bowl to the brim and the Queso Diablo & Chips are by far the best side ive tasted in my area "
"For a create your own bowl I expected more. There was no rice in comparison to the amount of beans. There was maybe 8 pieces of chicken? This bowl is the most I proportionate bowl I've ever seen. Very disappointed. I normally go to QDoba because it's generally WAY BETTER than Chipotle with quality and pricing. This is very disappointing."

"the food was nearly perfect. if I had to complain, the meats were really tough. but their food seems authentic to us. it is the 1st real Mexican food we've been able to find since we relocated here. the delivery packaging was spot on and appreciated. we will be back. oh~the flan was amazing"
"I was a little disappointed this time. in the past, the food was just delicious. This time, the meat proportions were significantly smaller. The food was fairly tough. The beans and rice now shared 1 compartment rather than the 2 compartments, one for rice and one for beans. The carton has been tipped, so there was some spillage but that happens. The tacos had no other toppings as in the past, just meat. Their service fee is around $8. Paying for the privilege of eating their food. I guess their prices aren't high enough on their own. For one small meal, the cost of over $50, and if you add chips (which should be included free), the cost for one meal is $60.00. (including a drink and the best flan in the world). We chose to cut out the chips to keep the meal below $65.00. We have taken them off our list. Really disappointed. Why do good eateries get so greedy? They just lose customers"

"Fronteras is one of the best Mexican food spots in Palatine. The owner runs a clean shop with fresh ingredients and fire grilled meats for every order. I would compare Fronteras to a fresher, more authentic version of Chipotle. When you order in the store, you choose your ingredients and protein before they turn around and grill the meat fresh on the spot, most of the time I've been there anyway. We moved to Palatine in April 2025 and have been happily returning here at least on a monthly basis. I prefer the arrachera burrito with habanero salsa and red salsa. Each burrito is large and the quesadillas also are very filling. The bowls at Fronteras are comparable to the size you get at Chipotle."
"No way this is the best when el Torino is available. If Rosita moved from Foodhub to DoorDash you would be out of business. Who's saying is this that good"

"The food and grill-char flavor is so authentic, especially the salsas..so bomb! I can tell a huge difference with quality here vs other local places. They may be a bit pricy, but trust me it's worth it! As long as I keep receiving great food, I will continue to leave great reviews. I have to say..since covid, there has been a HUGE discrepancy in quality and care with a lot of restaurants and service. This place is definitely consistent and continues to provide great food. 10/10 every time. Really hope that never changes "
"First time trying this place and it's kinda mid for the price. The salsa Roja tastes like canned adobo chiles, the green sauce and chip sauce had no spice, the skirt steak was decent but covered in so much cilantro. No limes included. It looks good but even the Agua Fresca strawberry flavor tastes like syrup. Not worth the prices they charge on here."
