Moderately expensive, not exactly formal, but you won't feel out of place if you dress up a bit.  This ain't no tacos and enchilada joint; the food is unusual and excellent, and there is not any other Mexican restaurant in Chicago (and perhaps in the U.S.) quite like it.  If you pass it up for any other Mexican place you will regret it.

The food at Frontera is GREAT but the wait is horrendous especially on weekends.  They take reservations for five or more but it's Tuesday night and that's getting late ...

We tried Chapulin on Halsted Street just south of Armitage and they serve a similar menu to Frontera Grill ...
