There are restaurants that boast of their authentic cuisine and then you end up leaving utterly

disappointed but that’s not the case with this gem tucked in the bustling area of Petaling Jaya. Previously called Frontera Bar and Grill, this authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex joint now known as Frontera Sol of Mexico has been sitting comfortably at Jaya One since they first opened their doors in 2008.

It’s not hard not to see the appeal of Frontera, as you’ll instantly feel welcomed with pure Mexican vibes upon reaching the entrance. The cosy interior features a distinct Mexican theme with agave plants and pictures of Latin influence as amazing decors. The restaurant features a lot of the all time favourites consisting of mainly meat with the usual chicken and fish dishes. At very favourable prices, Frontera serves up hot and deliciously spicy chicken wings, juicy burgers, healthy burritos and sumptuous tacos as a part of their menu.

We kicked started our meal with a fan favourite, the Habanero Hot Wings and they are not kidding

when they say its hot! Glazed with their signature Habanero BBQ sauce, the chicken wings really pack a punch. The cilantro ranch dressing served with the chicken does help as it takes some of the spicy edge off your tongue with its cooling taste. We were privileged to try out two new dishes that have set to be added into the amazing line-up of goodies this month. The first on the list is the Baja-Style Fish Tacos. Deep-fried in beer batter, the dory fish is a delight as the crust perfectly fried is placed in your choice of either crispy corn or soft flour tortillas accompanied by marinated cabbage, cilantro, tomatoes, chipotle ranch dressing, Monterey Jack Cheese and lime.

Next we tried the Chicken Avocado Burrito, which is also new on their menu beginning of this month. This amazingly refreshing dish isn’t like your regular burrito as they have removed the fried beans in and replaced it with avocado and sour cream to give it the same moisture the fried beans would have. If you’ve got serious beef craving, the Texas BBQ Burger should do the trick. A combination of Frontera’s cantina burger with freshly made

guacamole, beef bacon, melted Monterey Jack cheese and mayonnaise just spells out burger perfection.

If you’re in the mood for some cocktail indulgence, word around town is that they serve one of the best margaritas and we the verdict is in, the claims are true. These strong and sweet concoctions are

fused with Sauza Hornitos 100% blue agave tequila and you’ll find yourself savouring it to the last drop. Another must try is the chocolate cake; a brilliant shooter concoction of vodka, Frangelico, lemon and sugar that gives out a taste of, you guessed it, chocolate cake in your throat, making it one of our favourite desserts around town.
