Sarah SpagnoloFebruary 24, 2015The taste du jour in Albuquerque, and many parts of the Southwest, is green chili sauce. At Frontier, the chili tops burgers and burritos.

The price is the best 😜frontier burrito mm!
Allyson Neville-MorganJanuary 6, 2013The beef burrito was delicious. The place is cafeteria-style. The line was long, but moved very quickly. Helpful staff. We came here on the recommendation of friends. Totally worth a stop.
Damian Lopez-GastonAugust 29, 2019An Albuquerque institution. Good food and it's super consistent. You see a real cross section of ABQ here. For me, huevos, chopped green and cheddar. Western hashbrowns and sweet rolls are great too.
Santiago BlancoJune 12, 2013Get in line at the East side of the restaurant, restrooms are in the center, order your food and grab a table. Then watch the screens throughout for your number to come up. Ten go pick up your tray.
Talisa ChangOctober 2, 2013Get a green chile burger for $3.85, stuff some French fries or onion rings in there and dream that it'll never end. You should probably get a sweet roll while you're at it.
The only place to go late at night, although it is still disappointing that they are no longer 24 hours. Sweet roll is a must. Dessert first recommended
Dy YellowhorseMay 1, 2023Amazing food! Green chili burger is the BEST I’ve ever had! Onion rings are bomb too!
Richard RevillaJune 9, 2015Great food at good prices. Great place for breakfast and the place is huge.
Carlos AlbarranMarch 31, 2016The way they make the Western omelette, omgeezy a work of perfection that we do not deserve! Add some carne adova w/ it to compliment the masterpiece💃
Sabina ChengApril 22, 2013I didn't find any better burger and fries place in New Mexico! Food is amazing and cheap! Orange juice to die for! Their sweet roll will become your guilty pleasure once you try it...
Giovanna AndreaciDecember 8, 2017Breakfast burrito is the way to go! Oh and add the cinnamon bun to the order while you're at it...you won't regret it.
Erica RobinsonNovember 22, 2013Chicken enchilada w green chili is tasty! Fries yum, fresh orange juice is amazing. All this for 13 bucks!
Sarah StephensonMarch 23, 2015Anything with chile on it is good. Orange juice is fresh, sweet rolls are to die for. Even if the line gets long it usually goes quickly.
Ryan PalmerAugust 30, 2021You must get the breakfast burrito with carne adovado and a sweet roll on the side!
Thomas MarshallSeptember 27, 2016The enchiladas are nothing more than melted cheese in corn tortillas. Don't come here for a fine gastronomic experience. Do come because this is a fun place to hang out with friends.
Ros47 DeltaMay 1, 2013A popular ingestion center for humans of 18 to 25 solar rotations. Chiefly consumed are "patties" of posthumous bovine meat layered with spicy green vegetable common to this area of the country.
Albuquerque Sleep InnDecember 25, 2015This place is very popular and a very welcomed locals favorite place. The food is really good and easy on the pocket book.
Christopher MichaelJune 4, 2012The place and menu are huge! Food was delicious. Try the Adam Bonanza burger. I love how they use number screens for your order in all rooms
E. G.December 15, 2014The bean and cheese burrito is good & the soft taco w/beef is good - anything else you order is not worth it.
Anna MallSeptember 17, 2011If you dont eant the huge awesome breakfast burrito. Get a side of western hash browns, a side of bacon and a side of flour tortillas. And voila! So good......
Breakfast or bean burrito and then smother it yourself in chile from the crock. Won't find a better deal on anything in the state.- Dwight GoodmanAugust 10, 2013Behind the counter plating delicious Frontier favorites with a side of fresh-made warm tortillas. Boom!
Paisano0506November 30, 2014Breakfast burritos are great! Parking on the street. If their parking looks full just keep going, there is more parking in the back.- D NJune 28, 2013Quick and tasty food! Breakfast burritos and western style hashbrowns.. Don't forget to drizzle warm green chili salsa
Angela SkeesFebruary 16, 2014Really flavorful soft chicken tacos. Get a sweet bun! So tasty I couldn't get a picture before it was gone.- Shantanu MukherjeeDecember 31, 2019If I were a Albuquerque resident, I’d be eating here everyday. Maybe 3 times a day ... the tortillas are like soft warm pillows ...
Beverly MillerFebruary 16, 2014I was assured this was the best restaurant in Albuquerque. Well, it IS the busiest on Central. The food is all really greasy, though.
Eva d'AmbrosioFebruary 19, 2016Really weird place with huuuuge mix your own soda machines. You have big get the buns, obviously.
Cory HughesNovember 24, 2012Best "sweet roll" around ... Carne Adovada is awesome! And don't forget to get a pack of a dozen homemade flour tortillas!!! Mmmmm!!!- The BigBFebruary 19, 2020Very reasonable prices, very friendly staff, very good quality food. Just very recommendable.

Lorrie S.July 4, 2012So addicted...i LOVE their Frontier Burrito(in pic w/ combo plate) & green chilè stew!!
Awesome new high tech soda machines! If you can think if a soda flavor combo you'd like it can probably make it!
Vee QueueMay 5, 2013The breakfast burrito is FANTASTIC! Simple and delicious. Don't forget the cinnamon roll!
Arianna MartinezDecember 24, 2014The chef salad, the beef tacos, the frontier burrito, tortillas, fries, etc. etc. etc.
Lori PlazinskiOctober 8, 2018Plenty of free parking behind the restaurant. (45 minutes) and a public pay lot 2 doors down.
S. PearlAugust 11, 2012Right in front of UNM. Safe area and great people. Good food too! Vegetarian tortilla soup is great.
Chris BornSeptember 24, 2010Super busy place as it's right across from the University. But the place is huge, the atmosphere is fantastic, vibe is good and the prices are great. ^_^
If you have not tried the pancakes.....try them they are the best I have had in the city I know, seems hard to believe but just try
I swear, they butter both sides of the toast just to screw with people.
- Jesse GardunoJuly 20, 2022What brand of packed flour tortillas does Frontier Restaurant serve? They are soft and delicious.
Eliot PardoJune 27, 2015Frontier burrito with extra Chile Verde & a cinnamon roll makes for a complete meal
Omar G.October 1, 2013You gotta ladle some green chile sauce over whatever you get! So damn delicious.- Matthew NelsonAugust 5, 2016It was all good old fashioned West Texas/Eastern New Mexico groceries. Brought back good memories of my childhood!
The Most Interesting Man in the WorldAugust 8, 2014Depending on your definition of breakfast, breakfast burritos are served all day.
