Tortas Frontera Terminal 5 - Chicago

This was my first visit to this restaurant. Service was friendly, the food took a bit long to prepare but it was fresh, hot, and very good. If you have the time to wait and enjoy, I highly recommend. Total time from order via kiosk to food delivery was about 15 minutes, and worth it.

Food is ok, but it was really confusing to communicate with the staff. Ideally train them to use similar terminology as your menu to refer to your food items. Additionally, was told I can’t sit at the bar without waiting 15-20 min but there was a seat open I was declined and then someone walked right past the seating host and took it anyway. then went to wait in line and order to go. More bar Seats opens. Asked to sit, eat my food and order drinks, nope, can’t do that.

I loved the Cubano tortas! I do not generally like mustard but the sauce was much more Chipotle and smokey than mustard. Food was quick, waitress was a real person not an annoyed order taker. The only thing I didn't like was the metal chair, maybe the floor was wet, but every time I leaned back the chair would push away from the table sliding and inch or so on the floor. Drove me crazy! Need some rubber soles on them or something. Oh also the chips were soooo whatever. Not bad but Like store bought, not fresh made.

What a sad frontera at the terminal 5. The dining section looks like a food court and they’re trying to charge people to dine in. I ordered frontera to go but accidentally sat in the ‘dining’ section given it looks like open tables and not table service. The waitress came over and screamed at me and the guy next to me eating Burger King. Barely let us even pack up our food. She was so nasty I’m disappointed in frontera and won’t be visiting again. I would have happily paid the $3 tip to sit down had she given me a chance to even answer her but instead, she screamed at me while onlookers all felt extremely uncomfortable

I had the Cubana torta, and it was pretty good! Definitely one of the better options in the International terminal. However, service wasn't great, it took a while to place order and receive food.Kid-friendliness: They had 2 kids meal options that were good for less adventurous pallettes.
