The good, the bad, and the ugly…read more... We met some friends for dinner, we made a reservation as there was a handful of us (5). We arrived and they didn't see our reservation. After realizing there was a communication issue, John somehow turned into Johann and we were seated. We all laughed it happens. We put drink orders in right when we sat.... 7:05pm This is where the ugly comes in... 40 minutes, no drinks, apps already came, we ate most, still no beverage. The table next to us who sat 15 min after us, got their drinks. I asked 3 different servers what was happening.,, no one could answer , no manager, no one followed up One by one our drinks came over the next 15 minutes.... So literally over an hour for beverages, no sorry, no we are busy, nothing.... Had a manager come over and apologized, I'd be a little better.. I am extremely disappointed . I would honestly not go back because of this . The food is amazing- absolutely so delicious, this is where I am torn. Maybe I go back and just have water?!?! We had a Monterey combo, enchiladas, a burrito, a quesadilla, and another entree I didn't catch. We wanted dessert, the server let us know it was gonna be a bit. THANK YOU for telling us.... I'm cool waiting just tell us. I wanted one more beverage, I asked if it was going to be a while, she told me she would rush it, she did and I appreciate that. (Still no apology for the first round) All in all good food, shitty bar service, NO manager . I would have taken an apology , or a discount or something, instead you ignored it and avoided us. Not sure if I'd go back at this point

Puerto Vallarta for Cinco de Mayo was a WHOLE experience…read more This place was PACKED from start to finish, but honestly? The vibe made the wait worth it. There were lines everywhere, the parking lot was full, and the restaurant was extremely busy but the energy was so good it barely even felt like we waited long. They had two DJs, one inside and one outside on the deck area where there was also an outdoor bar. The music was nonstop and the DJ played a mix of everything, so people were dancing the entire night. While waiting for our table, we grabbed drinks outside and ended up dancing inside too We waited about 30 minutes to be seated (plus another 10 because we missed our first call while vibing on the deck ), but once we sat down everything moved smoothly. Drinks were STRONG and definitely worth the price I had a couple shots plus both the original and strawberry margaritas, and both were really good. The food? 10/10. We got tacos, quesadillas, sizzling fajitas, and fresh guacamole made tableside right in front of us. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and delicious. The fajitas coming out sizzling definitely turned heads I also appreciated how organized everything still felt despite the crowd. There was security at the front entrance, inside, and near the side exits, which helped things feel safe and controlled during such a busy event. This was the perfect spot to celebrate with friends. Great music, strong drinks, delicious food, and an atmosphere that felt like a real party from beginning to end. Would absolutely come back for another holiday, weekend or summer night on the deck

We visited on a weekday night about 6:30 The restaurant had very few patrons. After a minute a…read morehyper gent ran up greeted us and rushed us to a booth as if there were a dozen people behind us. A few minutes later we were given chips and salsa, bagged chips and salsa in a carafe. About 10 minutes later our waitress came by, she spoke so fast she was hard to understand. We ordered 2 margaritas a small and a large, Ultimate and Presidente. Drinks came quickly, both large, strong, and seemingly with no sour or margarita mix. Industry standard large heavy glasses that make you think its actually "large". 10 more minutes and the host came by to take our order. Again, he seemed so rushed it was strange. Took our order and ran off. 10 minutes later our waitress came by to take our order. When we explained, she had a pained look and told us the host was also the owner. Shortly our food came. Texanas for 2. We had made room for it all. Owner placed our food down, and removed our uneaten chips and salsa from the table. A few minutes later we stopped our waitress, asked for our chips and salsa back. Informed that that would be $3.50 for a second serving. I said no, you removed at least 1/2 our chips and salsa. She reluctantly brought us a new carafe of salsa..no more cheap chips for us! Food, consisted of something that maybe was refried beans? Grey slop with an oil slick (dollop) of cheddar cheese. Bland guac, no additives, chunks of avocado. Rice! Yellow no flavor. Some lettuce chopped tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream. Bland dry chicken strips, bland dry steak strips, seasoned overcooked shrimp (but the better part of the plate). On a bed of overcooked under seasoned onions and peppers, tortillas that were 5 or 6 inches wide, more for tacos than fajitas. Water is something you get by special request. As the restaurant filled to maybe 1/2 capacity, but 3 or 4 larger parties, the owner became more hyper, and the waitstaff often stopped near our table to discuss strategies (? not sure I don't speak Spanish), it's very upsetting to try and enjoy a meal with that going on. Once, the owner came by, hurriedly asking us if all was well, but so rushed I dared not stop him to discuss all that was wrong. Our waitress always seemed to trail him by 5 minutes or so. We had basically finished our meal, when another waitress came by and offered us to go boxes, our waitress had long since disappeared. We packed up our boxes, they cleared the table rather quickly. We sat, slowly finishing our "large" strong margaritas, waiting at least 1/2 an hour for someone, anyone to deliver a check. Mediocre food Inattentive waitstaff Overall a poor dining experience. Our first and last trip to Frontera Grill, at least in Manchester CT.

We got takeout from bartaco, and their online system is great with allergies and preferences. Most things can be made gluten free. We ordered the cotija dip and the 4 pack of carne asada tacos. I'm not sure, but I expected the dip to be warm? But it was basically blended cold corn for $7.50. The tacos are priced a bit better as a 4 pack, and they had great flavor. But I wouldn't want to pay $4.25 for a tiny carne asada taco in the restaurant. Probably won't be back unless I'm really craving a taco.
