11. Once Combo enchiladas. Just ok
Dana M.

Food wasn't anything to rave about. It was good but compared to other places it's just okay. Small portions for the prices too. Can't beat $3 margaritas that taste pretty good, so there's a plus. Service was good considering we were a large group and only one person was taking orders. Here's where they lost stars: my sisters order was forgotten and she even had to ask about it a 2nd time, so she requested it be packed up to go, everyone else was done eating by this time. Then, as she was checking her food, someone came out of the kitchen to say she had been given the wrong order and they took it back which meant she waited almost another 10 minutes. After all this they still changed her full price for it.

This Mexican rester-aunt is very good and they have Very Awesome Happy Hour with very inexpensive Margaritas and Happy Hour Specials on beer and food that is very good. :-). :-). :-) Please check it out. It is Awesome Wonderful and Spectacular! Thank You! :-). :-). :-)

Numero Tres--- seafood enchilada, chicken tomale and cream cheese enchilada.
David H.

I try to never use unconscious bias when doing reviews based on other people's experiences. I arrived at Fronteras at 6:05 p.m. just after happy hour ended. Flying solo, I decided to take my usual seat at the bar. There was no one else at the bar at that time except for me and two young ladies waiting for their checks. The other parts of the restaurant seemed quite busy and there were 2 people making drinks behind the bar. The one lady who would be my server, Samantha, made the gesture that she'd be with me shortly. A few minutes later she took my drink order which was a long island iced tea. She looked a bit confused and decided to wing it by putting some concoction together. She even called it a concoction. I saw her top it off with mostly margarita mix and then some Coke at the top. She disappeared after that. A couple sat down at the high top behind me not long after I arrived and were already being served chips and salsa. Another lady who may have been the owner or manager saw me waiting and asked if I was ready to order. I asked if I, too, would be able to get some chips and salsa. She radioed to the backroom when the young waitress who was waiting on the folks at the high top came quickly with the chips. They were very good chips and salsa. I ordered the Combo Tres which was a seafood enchilada, cream cheese enchilada and chicken tomale with refried beans and Spanish rice. I ended up finishing the chips and salsa while I waited for my food to arrive. They offered to refill my chips, but unfortunately I had no salsa to go with it since I finished with the last bowl of chips. I ordered another iced tea, but was reluctant to watch her make it this time. Finally my food arrived. I couldn't tell initially which was the seafood and which was the cheese. The cheese enchilada had cubes of chicken in it. The seafood enchilada was tasty and probably the best item on the plate. The chicken tomale is obviously not something they sell a lot of. It was extremely dry with very little taste. If it were any drier, it would have been called jerky. Samantha was being nice at this point since I was done and she wondered if I'd have a third iced tea. I was only hoping the iced teas weren't $10 each because they were worth about $3. In the end, the iced teas cost $7 each which made it the most expensive items I'd consumed that evening. By 7:15 I was ready to go.

Chicken quesadilla

Such a disappointment. Was looking forward to Mexican food. I tried very hard but couldn't eat it after one bite n decided to open n see what's inside. My Queso dip had chunks of still hard cream cheese. This restaurant is not for me.

Monterrey Chicken Burrito with black beans and white rice.

Hands down, best Mexican food in Gardner! And so far, better than the traditional Mexican places we have tried in Olathe! Service was outstanding - very attentive. House margaritas were strong and cheap. 12 ounces for $3. The food had so much flavor. We got to try the white spinach queso and salsa. Both delicious and they have the thin chips, which were hot and fresh tasting. We loved all the main courses as shown in the pictures, and then we got dessert. The churros came out hot with syrup and liquid chocolate for dipping! By the way, that was only $3 as well. We got apps, 4 margaritas total, 2 main entrees, and a dessert all for under $40. Now that is a deal!

They are so good. The flavor from the meat with the freshness from the veggies is unreal. They have awesome salsa. I typically use the green sauce. It is very spicy and goes so well with the tacos. We plan on going back soon and trying something else.

We had one chicken empanada, one chicken taco, two pastor tacos, two carnitas, one barbacoa, and chips with guacamole. The guacamole is amazing and we will return solely for this single, tasty offering. The tacos are authentically mexican; just simple, bland, yummy goodness It's just hard to describe how something that doesn't have a lot of flavor can be so good and we aren't hot sauce people so that wasn't even touched. The service was okay, friendly enough but nothing over the top. Someone mentioned in a review that it isn't the restaurants fault that the landlord won't fix the ceiling but I find issue in that even the vents are disgusting. If it were my restaurant I would do everything in my power to make it look nice and clean enough for people to want to return a million times over. Like I said, we will probably be back but it cannot go without mentioning.

From what I hear it used to be pretty lame and just used to serve golf course food like hot dogs and hamburgers and stuff. But it's actually got a full on bar an awesome outside patio and plenty of seats inside. We had a party of six at quickly turned to a party of eight and our server Wyatt could not be beat. I ended up getting to Philly cheese steak while we also got some firecracker shrimp and cheese curds for an appetizer. We are pretty far south into the Midwest for cheese curds but they did them up just right. I ended doing a little bit of a special order on my Philly cheese steak I subbed in lettuce and tomato for onion and green pepper which I like but they do not like me. Food came out exceptionally fast between the burgers and salads that were made they also make an absolutely fantastic Pizza. The pizza is Detroit style which means the sauce goes on top which is kind of weird but it does work out. The crust is like Pizza Hut crust where it's super thick and tasty little on the greasy side but that is all in the plan. To top it off we were able to ride our golf cart there and back which made the six Busch lights I had even more pleasurable. Relax I didn't drive the golf cart people. We like so much we went back a second night! Thanks Wyatt!
