The taste du jour in Albuquerque, and many parts of the Southwest, is green chili sauce . At Frontier, the chili tops burgers and burritos . Video for more chili spots: http://wxch.nl/1JGRTS8

Great food ! Don't come here if you are not very hungry because all their orders are big ! The price is the best ????frontier burrito mm!

The beef burrito was delicious. The place is cafeteria-style. The line was long, but moved very quickly. Helpful staff . We came here on the recommendation of friends. Totally worth a stop.

Damian Lopez-Gaston

An Albuquerque institution. Good food and it's super consistent. You see a real cross section of ABQ here. For me, huevos , chopped green and cheddar . Western hashbrowns and sweet rolls are great too.

Santiago Blanco

Get in line at the East side of the restaurant , restrooms are in the center, order your food and grab a table. Then watch the screens throughout for your number to come up. Ten go pick up your tray.

Amazing food! Green chili burger is the BEST I’ve ever had! Onion rings are bomb too!

Talisa Chang

Get a green chile burger for $3.85, stuff some French fries or onion rings in there and dream that it'll never end. You should probably get a sweet roll while you're at it.

Emily

The only place to go late at night, although it is still disappointing that they are no longer 24 hours . Sweet roll is a must. Dessert first recommended

Richard Revilla

Great food at good prices. Great place for breakfast and the place is huge.

Carlos Albarran

The way they make the Western omelette , omgeezy a work of perfection that we do not deserve! Add some carne adova w/ it to compliment the masterpiece????

Giovanna Andreaci

Breakfast burrito is the way to go! Oh and add the cinnamon bun to the order while you're at it...you won't regret it.

Sarah Stephenson

Anything with chile on it is good. Orange juice is fresh, sweet rolls are to die for. Even if the line gets long it usually goes quickly.

Thomas Marshall

The enchiladas are nothing more than melted cheese in corn tortillas . Don't come here for a fine gastronomic experience. Do come because this is a fun place to hang out with friends.

Erica Robinson

Chicken enchilada w green chili is tasty! Fries yum, fresh orange juice is amazing. All this for 13 bucks!

Sabina Cheng

I didn't find any better burger and fries place in New Mexico! Food is amazing and cheap ! Orange juice to die for! Their sweet roll will become your guilty pleasure once you try it...

Ryan Palmer

You must get the breakfast burrito with carne adovado and a sweet roll on the side!

Albuquerque Sleep Inn

This place is very popular and a very welcomed locals favorite place. The food is really good and easy on the pocket book .

Ros47 Delta

A popular ingestion center for humans of 18 to 25 solar rotations. Chiefly consumed are "patties" of posthumous bovine meat layered with spicy green vegetable common to this area of the country .

Breakfast burritos are great! Parking on the street. If their parking looks full just keep going, there is more parking in the back.

Shantanu Mukherjee

If I were a Albuquerque resident, I’d be eating here everyday. Maybe 3 times a day ... the tortillas are like soft warm pillows ...

Anna Mall

If you dont eant the huge awesome breakfast burrito . Get a side of western hash browns , a side of bacon and a side of flour tortillas . And voila! So good......

John Gonzales

Breakfast or bean burrito and then smother it yourself in chile from the crock. Won't find a better deal on anything in the state .

Matthew Nelson

It was all good old fashioned West Texas/Eastern New Mexico groceries . Brought back good memories of my childhood!

Dwight Goodman

Behind the counter plating delicious Frontier favorites with a side of fresh-made warm tortillas . Boom!

Quick and tasty food! Breakfast burritos and western style hashbrowns .. Don't forget to drizzle warm green chili salsa

The BigB

Very reasonable prices, very friendly staff , very good quality food. Just very recommendable.

Cory Hughes

Best "sweet roll " around ... Carne Adovada is awesome! And don't forget to get a pack of a dozen homemade flour tortillas !!! Mmmmm!!!

Alex Dobyan

I am adding absolutely nothing by saying you should get a cinnamon roll but let me add my voice to the chorus of support for this margarine-y goodness anyways.

Eva d'Ambrosio

Really weird place with huuuuge mix your own soda machines . You have big get the buns , obviously.

E. G.

The bean and cheese burrito is good & the soft taco w/beef is good - anything else you order is not worth it.

Angela Skees

Really flavorful soft chicken tacos . Get a sweet bun ! So tasty I couldn't get a picture before it was gone.

Christopher Michael

The place and menu are huge! Food was delicious. Try the Adam Bonanza burger . I love how they use number screens for your order in all rooms

jessica jaworski

Get the breakfast burrito ! Also then fresh squeezed OJ .

Lorrie S.

So addicted...i LOVE their Frontier Burrito (in pic w/ combo plate) & green chilè stew !!

Beverly Miller

I was assured this was the best restaurant in Albuquerque. Well , it IS the busiest on Central. The food is all really greasy, though.

Sunny Kim

Their freshly squeezed orange juice is unreal!!!!!!! Get the quart because you will love it!

Chris Born

Super busy place as it's right across from the University . But the place is huge, the atmosphere is fantastic, vibe is good and the prices are great. ^_^

Everything is DELICIOUS

Lorraine Bynon

Awesome new high tech soda machines ! If you can think if a soda flavor combo you'd like it can probably make it!

Jesse Garduno

What brand of packed flour tortillas does Frontier Restaurant serve? They are soft and delicious.

Jaime Poncedeleon

I swear, they butter both sides of the toast just to screw with people.
