Frontier Reviews: 2010
In this inaugural year, we got two submissions. Unfortunately, one was the casualty of a 2012 site crash. You’ll just have to trust that it was awesome, and that this (winning) review from Damien Flores can make up for it:
George Lopez did a comedy act on Johnson Field at UNM during the Obama Campaign stop in Burque. “I’m one of you,” he said, “I’ve bought piñon out the back of a broke down car on Isleta Boulevard. I’ve gambled away all my money at 66 Casino. And yes, I’ve been drunk, having breakfast at the Frontier.” And the crowd of 40,000 people lost their fucking minds when Lopez saluted the American Flag painted on the storefront across the street.
So many of us know the Frontier is badass – and now, so do you. Get a carne adovada burrito and a side of hash browns with a Frontier Roll for desert. Order anything. Comida mexicana o gringa; you just can’t go wrong. They used to be open 24 hours, but the late-night roughens of Burque got a little too out of hand, so the owners shortened the hours. Leave it to my gente to fuck up a good thing for everybody.
God bless the memory of old Frontier! Open all day and all night, the perfect place to cram for a midterm, to recover from a gut full of tequila and beer with enchiladas, and to watch a fist fight after the Ludacris concert. God bless the Frontier, and may God bless Los Estados Undios de America! And by America, I mean Burque!
