" Wow! I was blown away by the quality of food here. They really made the airport experience worth it. The choriqueso torta was fantastic; every bite was filled with flavor and the ingredients tasted freshly made. I couldn’t believe this was airport food! It was busy but the staff managed to keep up pretty well. I would absolutely recommend this spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about Tortas Frontera. On one hand, the torta I had was very good - nice crispness to the bread and a good amount of fillings. On the other hand, I felt my meal was definitely on the pricier side for the portion size. I guess that’s to be expected for airport dining, but it still felt like a bit of a letdown. Service was friendly but a bit slow during the lunch rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tortas Frontera is pretty good and definitely better than typical airport food. I ordered the chicken torta and I enjoyed it! However, the price was a bit high for what you received. The ambiance was okay but nothing too special. Overall a decent choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an enjoyable experience at Tortas Frontera! The combination of flavors in the margarita chicken torta was fantastic, and the service was quick. However, keep an eye out for peak hours as it can get packed! A great place to grab a bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a vegetarian, I was thrilled to find the options available here! The cauliflower torta was light yet filling, and the guacamole was a perfect touch. The service was prompt, making it a great stop for those on the go. Overall, it was a pleasant experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a pleasant surprise! I've always been skeptical about airport food, but Tortas Frontera completely changed my perspective. The chicken chipotle torta was bursting with flavor and had the right amount of spice. The guacamole was fresh and creamy, complementing the sandwich perfectly. The staff was friendly and the wait was reasonable. Highly recommend if you're in O'Hare! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tortas Frontera was a fantastic find! I loved the vibrant flavors in my torta, the creamy avocado just enhanced the overall experience. The atmosphere had a nice buzz, and the staff was very friendly. I can’t wait to stop by again during my next trip. " (*Curated Review*)
