" I was disappointed in my visit. The torta was quite soggy and lacked flavor. Not what I would expect from a highly-rated chef's establishment. The service was friendly, but the food really let down my expectations. I had hoped for something memorable, but it was just underwhelming. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tortas Frontera has become my go-to for airport food! Each visit has been a charm, with freshly made tortas and quick service even with long lines. The espinacas torta was delightful, and I love how they use fresh ingredients. It's an oasis amidst the chaos of the airport. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic! I ordered the guacamole as a side and it was the best I’ve had in an airport. The portion was generous and it complemented my torta perfectly. The service was prompt, and I didn’t have to wait very long. I can see why Tortas Frontera has such a good reputation—definitely one for the books! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me just say that this place saved my stomach from terrible airport food! I had the ham and bacon torta, and it was really well-balanced with great flavor. The environment was clean and relaxed, and the service was quick even under pressure. The only downside was the price, but given the quality, I would say it's worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had very high expectations for Tortas Frontera, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. The torta was tasty, no doubt, but it felt a bit overpriced for what you got. The guacamole was delicious, but I wish there had been more filling in the torta. The ambiance was okay for an airport, but the long wait times were a downer. Maybe I’ll give it another shot next time! " (*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*)
