    Joe and I had our wedding celebration at our favorite restaurant! We asked 50 of our friends and family to attend, -!: Salvy and his team were so accommodating and welcoming! The food was amazing - we had a taco bar and offered beef enchiladas and chicken Veracruz enchiladas. And Kenya took great care of everyone - we all had delicious Margheritas in our hands at all times! We consider Fonteras family and highly them.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Overall, this is a great burger spot, and I'd definitely come back. I accidentally ordered the…read morewrong burger, but that was completely on me, not the restaurant. I ordered the charbroiled burger with pepper jack cheese, jalapeños, and bacon. It was cooked well, but I realized I'm just not a fan of that distinct charbroiled flavor. You might ask, "Then why did you order it?" Fair question. I'd never had a burger with such a pronounced charbroiled taste before, so now I know it's just a personal preference, not a reflection of the burger itself. We also ordered the Farmer burger with an egg, cheddar cheese, and bacon, along with a plain cheeseburger. The plain cheeseburger was fantastic. The patties are a nice, average size. They're not massive, but they're satisfying and full of flavor. For sides, we tried the curly fries, crinkle fries, and tater tots. The crinkle fries were our favorite. Also, don't skip the homemade ranch. It was excellent. The real standout, though, was the staff. They were cheerful, helpful, and incredibly fast. The place was packed because of the fair, but everyone was hustling and keeping things running smoothly. I pride myself on leaving honest reviews, so I do have to mention the one downside: the flies. There were quite a few inside. I'm sure the heat and the fair/rodeo traffic made it worse, but it was definitely noticeable and annoying while eating. Overall, the food was good, the service was excellent, and I'd happily come back. Next time, I'll skip the charbroiled burger simply because I've learned that flavor isn't for me.

    Cheeseburger was cooked perfectly. Both the crinkle cut fries and onion rings were spot on. Very…read moregood. Will definitely go back!!! Service was really good. Local spot and highly recommend!

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.
