This new Mexican spot popped up pretty quietly where Gratzi A Tutti Pizzaria used to be on E. Broad (Not that anyone knows where that place was). The inside looks more like a sports bar than a Mexican place, and I'm actually a huge fan of that, because it makes a great spot for happy hour and watching games while also enjoying some Mexican food rather than pub grub. The bar itself is huge, and they run many margarita and beer specials during the week, and there's TVs all over the place. The whole restaurant is enormous for that matter. The chips and salsa isn't complimentary, but it's only around $2 and was pretty good. The salsa wasn't anything spectacular, so I'd ask for their house hot sauce which is actually pretty thick like a salsa and was really good on the chips. I was here for lunch and went with the steak taco special for $10.99, I believe, and it came with three fully stuffed soft tacos. I absolutely loved these tacos. The steak was super tender, and they were topped with fresh avocado, and you can't go wrong with that. They didn't have any sauce or cream on them, so I put some of the hot sauce on, but honestly, with the fresh avocado being so creamy, they really didn't need it. My friend had the burrito and quesadilla combo with rice and mashed potatoes. He said the burrito was okay, but we both really enjoyed the quesadilla, and he really loved the rice and mashed potatoes. I really want to come back for the dinner menu. I was a little disappointed that the lunch menu didn't have all their different meats on it, and it didn't sound like they served the dinner menu at lunch, so I'll have to come back for that. That being said, I was very satisfied with the meal here. They aren't breaking any new ground, but what they are doing, they're doing it very well! Overall, after work and for lunch I'd probably come here, but it's a bit out of the way for me otherwise, and I'm not sure it'd be worth a 20 minute drive. However, I don't want to take away too much from this place, because it's a great Mexican spot for anyone in the surrounding area. read more

Jonathan was a great server. Checked in every so often, as not to overwhelm or make you feel rushed. Quite the spiffy menu! Being a brand new establishment, their menus are nice smooth glossy surface and crisp edges, bold pictures, simple yet efficient descriptions. This place looks to be great for game days, too. Some 15 or so TVs spread about. There's quite a bit of floor space; they could even stand to add more tables (maybe they're gauging their first few months of business to see if more seating is warranted). As it is, there's plenty of room to most about between tables, no feelings of squished what so ever. I started with their House Margarita on the rocks, $4.50 during happy hour. Tasty. Salt around the rim and an orange slice to boot. Settled on their Pabellon Criollo. The kitchen was willing to sub slow-roasted pork in place of the shredded beef. Dish was really tasty. The pork, for the most part was very tender, juicy and had great taste. A few small chunks looked like they'd sat out a tad too long under the heat lamp, but enough goodness, so it wasn't a big deterrent. I really liked the black beans. The plantains, while not being deep fried in the sugar mixture like some places, were still sweet. I'd definitely go back for this Venezuelan dish anytime. It's a good-sized portion, and lasted me two meals. Gia arrived later, so while she was munching on the Empanadas appetizer, I ordered a piece of their Tiramisu dessert. Personally, I've had better, but this doesn't really faze my rating, as I went here for MEXICAN food, not dessert. It wasn't bad, but nothing to rave about. I'll stick to the entrees. **Side note: the Empanadas had a good flavor, Chicken was also good. The breading is more of a dough and on the thicker side. Not the usual, but still decent. And, small. Five for $5.99. Perhaps a tad high...? The creamy cilantro sauce was also a good accompaniment. read more

Great tasting food and awesome hosts. I usually get the grilled chicken burrito it's so good!

First time visiting here, seemed like a nice atmosphere and clean. The waitress was very nice. The taco salad came and it looked great. I cracked the tortilla and it was like soup on my plate. I tried to eat it but just couldn't because it looked so unappetizing. Probably will not go back here. read more

Poor food quality and when they messed up my order our last visit, it made me sick and when I told them it was wrong and I didn't really want anything substituted since I'd lost my appetite, they simply took it away. No manager, no apology, and they still charged full price for it. We used to come here quite often, but no longer. read more

Food was just ok. customer service from Management was not good. Had an issue with our order . Waitress got it wrong. When we got the bill we ask her to fix it. She said she would ask the manager on duty. He came to our table and said pay for the mistake our he would take it out of the waitresses pay. It was two $4.95 quesadillas. He stood there five minutes telling us there is nothing he can do. We will not be back. read more

Okay this was a disappointment. I came here because of so many great reviews, but really this is a fairly mediocre restaurant. It advertises as a tapas and Mexican restaurant. And it is set in the ambience of a bar. The tapas options are not particularly interesting. We shared some chips and salsa, the carnitas dinner and the shrimp diablo. The chips and salsa are not on the house as in most Mexican restaurants, but they were pretty inexpensive. The salsa was chunky, but nothing particularly interesting. The carnitas were fairly bland. The shrimp diablo is as advertised, these are seriously spicy and not for the faint of heart. This dish was pretty good, but still more spice than taste. read more

While I miss Gratzi, this is a welcome use of the space. The street tacos are huge and filling, and I enjoy the broad variety of Southern American food offerings available. The menu is a bit intimidating at first, but the servers are very knowledgeable on the various dishes and willing to help with suggestions. They also have impressive mashed potatoes as an available side dish. read more

This place has been on our list to try for a while now and we were not disappointed. The food was super good and the drinks were definitely good. We just wanted to have a couple of appetizers since we were going out to dinner later in the evening. We sat at the bar and found out that we had sat down during happy hour! The margaritas were $6 and they were poured out of a gallon jug, kind of weird but they were good. The appetizers were also half off for their chips and dips options so we ordered the spinach dip and trio dip set. The spinach dip was super unique as it looked like they cooked the spinach and garlic first and then placed it on a rIver of queso - it was honestly one of the best spinach dips I've come across! The trio dip consisted of guacamole, queso, and some mild salsa. The guac was good and the cheese dip was really good. The salsa was just some simple tomatoes, onions, and seasoning - not bad. The menu looked fantastic and the food coming out of the kitchen also looked really good - we will definitely be coming back here for dinner! read more

This place is sooooo good. I mean from appetizers to entre.. every single bite is yummy. I did the shrimp cheese appetizer.. I would do it again!! And I ordered a Cuban enter with pulled brisket. The flavors were juicy inside and out. The decor was urban upbeat. They have a bar as well. The service was swift and the food came out fairly fast as well. Topas on point is what I call it. Food taste fresh and my guest enjoyed there meal as well. I will be going back here with out any doubts. Yummy read more

I just moved here from South Florida, where I had much time spent enjoying the food from Latin America and the Caribbean. I'd driven past this place a couple of times, and I noted the sign said "Tapas". I finally stopped in, and IMO glad I did. I didn't see any Tapas on the menu, but what I did see was walk to wall dishes from all over Latin America! The had Mofongo (Puerto Rican), Patacon (Venezuelan), Salto Lomado (Peruvian), and Vaca Frita (Cuba), to name a few. Plus, so much more. The top shelf margarita was only $9, and for Patron Silver and Gran Marnier, that's a deal! But, it was the Patacon that is fueling this review! The perfectly cooked tostones was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, and the generous helping of black beans, pico de Gallo, cream and lettuce topping was wonderful. But, the best part was the roast pork. All the memories of the flavors of home came rushing back. Crispy, juicy, delicious pork - perfectly seasoned and cooked. I can't say enough good things. It's definitely got a "sports bar" feel, with all the TVs on the wall. Service was very attentive, but not at all intrusive. Five stars all around. Just don't go in looking for Tapas. Though, you'll never miss it. LOL read more

Welcoming place. Prices are decent. Overall great experience. If you're in the mood for Latin Fusion (a variety of Latin Cuisine) check it out. read more

The menu is extensive, with dishes from multiple countries, and everything is so authentic. Don't forget to order one of their margaritas, so fine! read more

Staff was amazing. I ordered carnitas and they were really dry and didn't have to much taste. Ordered whole beans and was given refried. Rice was great! read more

I have to say, as far as the food and drinks are concerned this place certainly has my vote. Started with the chips and salsa. The chips are light and airy and don't have all that salt that some places throw on there and the salsa has a little bit of kick to it. Not so much that it doesn't taste good, but if you are spice adverse you may want to see if they make a milder version, but the salsa was delicious. I also had a spicy margarita and a frozen sangria margarita, again both delicious and it doesn't seem like they skipped on the alcohol content. Finished out with the sriracha burrito which may be the best burrito I have ever had at a restaurant of this kind. Perfect kick to it, the steak inside was savory, and it was a perfect portion. I wasn't hungry for the rest of the day. Now I know I ate this food while in Ohio, but my only gripe would be that the servers didn't have to wear a mask and I didn't necessarily like the server breathing on me while I was eating. But hey, what can you do? read more

This place is everything delicious. I've passed it for years. Just discovered I'll never pass it up again. Food and service are amazing

Food and drinks are delicious. Fun atmosphere. Great outside area to eat. Service is good.

While an ideal space to watch games, service doesn't make the experience worth the visit lately. Food here is pretty good,but the past few times we've been, the counter tops at the bar area are dirty, it takes a long time before servers appear from the back, and it takes half a dozen people to figure out how to find a channel on the television. They also have the audio on whatever soap opera (not kidding) they have playing on the tv closest to the end of the bar, so the staff can sit and watch their favorite show instead of cleaning, serving, training. I miss the old Frontera where the staff used to hustle to make sure the customer's experience was a good one. read more

Dropped for the first time to fronteras. It was lunch time and i wanted to see what options were available. At first glance i was disappointed as it seemed to be just another tex mex lunch menu. And as far as i could tell, that is what you get. I did notice however that the evening menu had variations that could ge interesting. read more

Very nice modern decor and menu. Loved how they have the menu available via we code, and their other virus precautions. Tons of options, including vegan and health conscious. Lots of unique and ok nventice menu items. The fried plantains were really nice. read more

The atmosphere is the only thing this place has going for it, it's very nice inside. This is the first Mexican restaurant that I had to order chips and salsa as an appetizer instead of providing them for people ordering off the menu. I ordered Steak Vallarta the presentation was very nice but the portion of beans wasn't even enough for two tortillas, sauce had no flavor and very few peppers and onions with it. I will probably not go back I'll be looking for the smaller more authentic feel. read more

My favorite go to restaurant for food, drinks, watching sports, business meetings!! Service is great and the atmosphere is awesome !

They charge a "convenience fee" if you use a credit card. They do not have free refills on chips and salsa, but they do free drink refills. They prepared both of our entrees incorrectly - twice. Don't go here! They had cherry tree decorations at a Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere was relaxed. read more

Been going here since they've opened and food has always been amazing! Service is fantastic and prompt. Until recently... We're huge tequila fans and know our stuff. We typically sit at the bar and never had issues. This particular day, we sat on the patio. Ordered Don Julio 1942 (a $140 bottle) shots and received some other tequila! Called it out to the waiter and he it should have been. I told him to look into it, but not once did he acknowledged anything else about the liquor. Didn't want to be THAT customer. We paid the bill, but was NOT happy. read more

Love this place! Pork green chile burrito is amazing. Guacamole fantastic. Everything I have had is good

First time in and the food and atmosphere was great. Our service started off good and then after we got our food we never saw her again. Couldn't get refills let alone couldn't even get our check to pay. We had to flag down another server. Not sure if we will attempt again, but if we do I'll change review. read more

Notice this place back in the summer when the patio was busy. Came by today and it was nice. Happy hour 7 days a week which is rare feels more like a bar than restaurant with TVs everywhere. Service was not that great but I understood due to large birthday party of 30 people. The food just got the spinach dip it was made fresh cooked to order it was amazing. The drinks okay house margarita and sex on the beach. Will return maybe during the week. read more

The Fried Grilled Burrito is the best burrito I've had in my three years in Columbus. It may be the best burrito I've ever had, period. It's just that good. My girlfriend had a late lunch / early dinner with a couple of her co-workers on the patio, and she asked if I wanted her to bring something home for dinner. Having eaten at a large number of so-so Mexican restaurants in the area, I was lukewarm about saying "yes," and also worried a bit about how well it would travel, since we're over twenty minutes away from Reynoldsburg. When she arrived home (after stopping by a car wash!), the burrito, lettuce, sauteed onions, and white sauce had likely been sitting for at least forty minutes. I had zero expectations...and then I started eating it. Not only was the burrito still quite warm (how that is possible, I really don't know)...it was incredibly flavorful. Every bite was mouth-wateringly delicious, and the fixings were also extremely tasty too. I had my burrito with steak, and all the spices were well-seasoned, and everything about the meal was well-balanced. I've had a lot of great food in Columbus, but Mexican is one cuisine that is often sub-standard here. This burrito proves that you just need to venture out a little further to Reynoldsburg, and I can't wait to try it in person! read more

I've been here a couple of times and was never very impressed. However, last time I came I ordered a spicy mango margarita and a few of their tacos and was extremely happy with my order. Will def be back for their tacos! read more

Best Mexican restaurant you will ever go to, empanadas are perfect, the green sauce is to die fo my girlfriend and I have been coming here for about a year and a half and every time it's better. The best restaurant in Columbus seriously that good!!!!!!!!!! read more

Definitely my go to Mexican restaurant right now! I usually went to another Mexican spot for the past 3 years but because of how far is was from where we currently live, we decided to come in and try this one. Definitely recommend their steak and shrimp. Our server was also able to get us a pitcher of piña coladas. Love them! read more

Delicious. Hands down 1000000% better than Condado, which I hate to compare but seems to be many people's high bar in town. Drinks are amazing and the tacos are just as much. Tacos al pastor and pork belly...yum! They have a special hot sauce too, that is delicious with a kick. Try the tres leches! read more

Fronteras = Delicious! The atmosphere is very chill with lots of tvs to catch whatever game is on but the vibe isn't that of a sports bar. They play great music and Fronteras would be an excellent location for a Latin dance night because they have a great outdoor patio. The first day I had the signature fried burrito covered in cheese sauce and it was so, so good! My husband had the flautas and loved them, also! The second night we went we opted for something new. The menu has a fee dishes from Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela and more. I opted for the patacon which delicious and reminded me of Arepazo's and my husband had the tacos de jicama, which was a roasted chicken (tasted like they seasoned it with tajin) and toppings on a shell made of a slice of jicama. The jicama tacos were very different, packed with flavor but a bit tricky to eat. We both agreed it's something we're glad we tried but probably wouldn't get again. There are so many great options though and nothing we've had so far was bad. The service here was fantastic as well! read more
