Cinnamon Rolls are to die for!. This restaurant has the most amazing cinnammon rolls! They don't have nuts nor are they covered in glaze like in other states. Instead the sweet rolls are smothered in warm melted butter and you will need a knife and fork to eat it! The western hash browns with red and green chiles is both spicy and delicious. But best of all is the coffee which is served in to-go cups. If you are a college student between classes or a world traveler looking for authentic New Mexican food this is the place to see and be seen.

Frontier doesn't care about your restaurant experience. When I arrived on 9/2/8, I parked next to a sign that said "45 minute Frontier Parking." I thought, "Rude to limit your customers... but we'll be in and out and on our way in no time."<br> When I returned to my car LESS than 45 minutes later, I have this orange sticker on my car say "When blocking or obstruction of work passage, the charge is $5.00 per hour payable at the Frontier Restaurant. If not paid, this is a notice that the next time your vehicle is on the lot with an outstanding charge, it will be towed at your expense. Call 266-0050." I thought, what pompous restaurateurs! I'm here to patron their business, I park no more than 5 feet from their 45 minute sign, and they have the audacity to treat a customer like this!<br>



It is obvious that this restaurant has no idea about what customer service means. I was going to write this email directly to Frontier, but when they don't provide an email address, I decided a public forum was better.<br>



Fortunately, I am not from Albuquerque. I will not be stopping by Frontier again. Just be aware: Their lack of respect for your patronage can ruin your meal.<br>

Frontere The Good, The Bad , The Ugly.... So on you're on your way to Albuquerque, for the first time ever, and you want to experience a place that is truly one of the most bizarre, original, quirky, downright scary at times, places to eat a meal. Plan a trip to the Frontere. It is not for the faint of heart! (2 am on a weekend is a mad house) If you eat just 1 thing on the menu, I would hope its a Frontere Roll. They are covered in soy butter and cinnamon sugar , warmed in a microwave for about a minute. Delicious, and even more so when you have been drinking. Though I always eat breakfast burritos, I can't say I recommend actually eating them for breakfast. Unless you want to suffer from cramps, and the "you know what's" all day long. Better to eat it late at night, with a belly full of booze, and a ready toilet in the morning. It's a pit, but it's Albuquerque. Most will agree that you haven't lived untril you've been there, however some wish they were dead when they leave.

Best Green Chile Stew. The Frontier is an old Alburqueque institution, serving up heaping portions of old American and New Mexican standbys cafeteria style. The green chile stew is probably the single best item on the large menu and thankfully it can be added to just about any dish. Every city should have a place like this, where you can go any hour of the day for a home cooked hot meal at a good price. The Frontier Burrito smothered with the green stuff is best item on the menu and consistently excellent. Ask for extra honey for your freshly made tortillas that come with every meal. The Frontier will live forever.
