We came here starving after a nice hike and accidentally came right after the church rush on a Sunday morning. This place was packed. The line was a little long but it went through very quickly and we were able to order in less than 5 minutes. The food that came out felt home-cooked and was so affordable. These are …

Always a pleasure to eat here! their tostadas are cheap and filling, and their soda options are the best around! all the workers are very kind and accommodating, and while the parking in the back is built weirdly there's always plenty of spaces.

Folksy, hometown restaurant where the employees are local people, students with terrific service. I ordered the vegetarian burrito with a regular soda and under 10 to 15 minutes I was served, eating a delicious burrito at a clean table. I like supporting family-owned restaurant. 👍🏽🙏🏽🇺🇸💯👏🏽👏🏽

The frontier has an amazing operation. It's next to the main university of New Mexico campus and it's obvious that many generations of students have brought their skills ranging from culinary arts to business to high tech have made the restaurant what it is today.

We visited this place while visiting family in Querque and whats not to like? Food is good, flour tortillas are excellent, even took a dozen home for later. Customer service was prime! Loved the place and will be coming at least 3 times a year ❤️

Frontier Restaurant is an Albuquerque institution and a must visit when anywhere near the University of New Mexico. It's a fun, quick service cafeteria style diner that is an anchor business on Central avenue. I think they're sprawling. Dining room could also qualify as an art gallery for Americana John Wayne Western art. The real claim to glory for Frontier …
