Tex-Mex Food @ Frontera Bar & Grill, Jaya One, Petaling Jaya

Lights at Palm Square, Jaya One

Yesterday was a nightmare - first it was super jammed everywhere because of the roadblocks. I was stuck on Federal Highway and then my car's radiator decided to give up on me. Luckily I managed to park at the side. Loads of people were also waiting out the queue and some of them were very nice to help out with my radiator problem. Thank god, the highway authorities let people make u turns hence I did get to work. I got my car fixed up too, so hopefully today is much better.


Can't stop eating - Taquitos de Pollo (RM19.95)

Did I tell you all that Splashie Boy loves Tex-Mex food? He once ate tacos for the whole summer from Taco Bell, during his university days - he calls it his official summer food. I read about this new place at Jaya One serving Tex-Mex food hence we headed there last weekend. Only some places at Jaya One seem to be packed - Overseas Restaurant and Ducking. The other places seem to be doing okay only, with one two tables occupied. Tucked at the far end of the "bungalows" of Palm Square, is Frontera that is run by a friendly American, Larry Martin who used to run the hotdog stand at Hartamas Square.

Best ever chimicangas in town - Chimicanga Frontera (RM23.95)

Splashie Boy's mouth was salivating after he read the menu - all his favourite foods. He ordered with the help from the restaurant people. Great service here, very nice and friendly. We started out with Taquitos de Pollo, the starter. The cute rolls are actually corn tortillas stuffed with chicken and deep fried. Served with a tangy salsa verde and sour cream, they were yummy. Hard to resist, we quickly finished them.


cheesy Enchiladas Nortena (RM28.95)

Splashie Boy had the chimichanga while I had the enchiladas. They serve the main meals with a portion of Mexican rice (slightly tinged orange with peas mixed in it), a spicy tomato salsa and refried beans. Those refried beans (a classic Mexican dish) was excellent. What we like about this place is everything tastes homemade.

Splashie Boy loved his chimichanga stuffed with beef - he claims it is the best ever he had in town. He wasn't too enthusiastic about my enchiladas, as he said there was a slight spiciness to it but I liked it especially with the layer of cheese on top.

Other recommended dishes are the ribs and chili con carne, which we will return for soon. Do give this place a try, especially if you love Tex-Mex food. I heard the margaritas are super wicked here too, so it will be perfect to chill out after work.
