FourSquare Tips
Atop his pioneering casual Mexican place, chef Rick Bayless uses portable, self-watering containers to grow several varieties of tomatoes and chiles used in the "rooftop salsa.?
Rick Bayless? place with two restaurants in one. Been going there for years. Great stuff and killer margaritas. -Dave Martin, Top Chef
This brunch from celeb chef Rick Bayless is not to be missed?too bad it?s served only on Saturdays. Be sure to check out the huevos ?Fronterizos? with sausage and biscuits.
The Grill maintains a purist's approach to Mexican cuisine, much like its sister restaurant Topolobampo, but in a more casual setting. Try the grilled duck breast in a chile-corn-mushroom sauce.
Topolobampo is more sophisticated in decor than Bayless' Frontera Grill. The dishes at both have familiar names, but you won?t find them made with such superior ingredients and care anywhere else.
Have a margarita at the bar.
Try the mole. Trust me, even if you don't usually like mole, you will like this mole. Rick Bayless is a god of cuisine!
Frontera offers a vibrant slice of Mexico City, a place to chow down on ceviches, earthy mole, wood-grilled steak tucked into housemade tortillas and, of course, insanely good margaritas.
The mojitos are amazing. And don't miss the queso fundido appetizer - chorizo, jack, fresh tortillas. Wow.
The lunch menu ($22) including mushroom empanadas with watercress salad, chicken or pork loin mole and a coconut tres leches cake with pineapple, all concocted with Rick Bayless' signature flair.
