    Great food, not so great location Been meaning to come to this location for a while. Tried to go opening day and the parking situation was not great. It's a singular small parking lot with poor space lining. Can handle about 20 cars before being swamped. Inside, it's a modified old mill. It's drafty, sparse but clean, and a smattering of offices and small businesses with not a lot of pocket change but a pocket full of dreams. This space has hosted many different kitchens, and the hidden kitchen is the most recent tenant. Manned by a two man team, they push out seasonal eats for mainly take-out customers. There's a couple of small tables, but with the cold creeping in it's not the nicest place to eat in the winter months. The missus and I ordered a butternut and apple soup, their roast beef sandwich, and a slice of carrot cake. Total was 33 bucks, which is pricy. Food came out quickly and we went to the car to enjoy our eats. I do not mind pricy food so long as the quality matches the price point. This was not a cheap sandwich, but it was a very good sandwich. The bread was fresh, pressed to a nice crispy exterior and soft and warm in the middle. Roast beef was tender and plentiful, horseradish cream was punchy and creamy but not overbearing. As a sandwich, it's a very tasty and well executed sandwich and justified the price. The butternut and apple soup was also very well balanced. The apple was tart and the squash was sweet, neither overpowered one another and the buttery finish gave the soup a very hearty finish. Texture was perfectly smooth and taste was stellar. Absolutely worth the money. The carrot cake we shared that night. The cake was moist, the frosting was not too sweet but just enough if the cream cheese tang to match the carrot sweetness. It's not very sweet overall, but a delicious cake slice. The chefs are skilled, and their quality and attention to detail is evident. This is a textbook definition of a diamond in the rough, and a great foodie to-go place. Because of their price and location, they will have a really hard time keeping afloat. They will either have a hard time grinding out enough local business to justify the location or they will get discovered and this place will quickly be way too small for them to keep up. For now, If you get a chance to try them then do so. The food is awesome, and worth the trek to try.

    We tried the mojo pork bowl and philly steak. Both were excellent. Great "hidden" spot. Very cool sitting area. Nice staff. Would recommend.

    Quirky and unique spot, that lives up to it name. A bit tricky to find, but so worth it! Food is so fresh and delicious!

    The food was super yummy especially the Pork Belly Bao and Chicken Asado taco. We will definitely be ordering here regularly.

    Food, staff and ambiance was great!!!! Will definitely go…read moreback again! We're going to bring friends.

    We visited on a weekday night about 6:30 The restaurant had very few patrons. After a minute a…read morehyper gent ran up greeted us and rushed us to a booth as if there were a dozen people behind us. A few minutes later we were given chips and salsa, bagged chips and salsa in a carafe. About 10 minutes later our waitress came by, she spoke so fast she was hard to understand. We ordered 2 margaritas a small and a large, Ultimate and Presidente. Drinks came quickly, both large, strong, and seemingly with no sour or margarita mix. Industry standard large heavy glasses that make you think its actually "large". 10 more minutes and the host came by to take our order. Again, he seemed so rushed it was strange. Took our order and ran off. 10 minutes later our waitress came by to take our order. When we explained, she had a pained look and told us the host was also the owner. Shortly our food came. Texanas for 2. We had made room for it all. Owner placed our food down, and removed our uneaten chips and salsa from the table. A few minutes later we stopped our waitress, asked for our chips and salsa back. Informed that that would be $3.50 for a second serving. I said no, you removed at least 1/2 our chips and salsa. She reluctantly brought us a new carafe of salsa..no more cheap chips for us! Food, consisted of something that maybe was refried beans? Grey slop with an oil slick (dollop) of cheddar cheese. Bland guac, no additives, chunks of avocado. Rice! Yellow no flavor. Some lettuce chopped tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream. Bland dry chicken strips, bland dry steak strips, seasoned overcooked shrimp (but the better part of the plate). On a bed of overcooked under seasoned onions and peppers, tortillas that were 5 or 6 inches wide, more for tacos than fajitas. Water is something you get by special request. As the restaurant filled to maybe 1/2 capacity, but 3 or 4 larger parties, the owner became more hyper, and the waitstaff often stopped near our table to discuss strategies (? not sure I don't speak Spanish), it's very upsetting to try and enjoy a meal with that going on. Once, the owner came by, hurriedly asking us if all was well, but so rushed I dared not stop him to discuss all that was wrong. Our waitress always seemed to trail him by 5 minutes or so. We had basically finished our meal, when another waitress came by and offered us to go boxes, our waitress had long since disappeared. We packed up our boxes, they cleared the table rather quickly. We sat, slowly finishing our "large" strong margaritas, waiting at least 1/2 an hour for someone, anyone to deliver a check. Mediocre food Inattentive waitstaff Overall a poor dining experience. Our first and last trip to Frontera Grill, at least in Manchester CT.
