Frontier Restaurant is a landmark New Mexican cuisine restaurant, located near the University of New Mexico, in the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico.[1][2][3] The restaurant has a Western design, with artwork and images related to the American Southwest and The Duke throughout.[4][5]

History

The current location known as the Frontier Restaurant was the site of Chisum's Drugstore, which contained a popular soda fountain.[3] The current restaurant was started in 1971 by a couple from Austin, Texas, who served cowboy Tex-mex, chuckwagon, and Mexican foods. They didn't incorporate New Mexican food into their menu right away, until a dishwasher named Eddie Montoya showed the owners the local cuisine.[6]

Today

Their most recognized menu items include their sweet rolls, green chile cheeseburgers, green chile stew, and red/green chile burritos.[5][7][8] They also serve other New Mexican fare like, huevos rancheros, enchiladas, hamburgers, sandwiches, and steak.[9][10][11]
