Here’s Chef Chad working the line at the new Tortas Frontera in O’Hare’s American Airlines terminal. We met up there to finalize signage details and spot check a few tortas. Open for only a few weeks and already the “it” sandwich on Concourse K. We tried the crispy chicken torta and the garlic mushroom. Both were outstanding, but we headed back for seconds on the PEPITO: a beer-braised, short rib torta with pickled green chiles, Chihuahua cheese, black beans and arugula. !HOLA!

Chicago Reader food blogger Mike Sula calls Tortas Frontera "the only place to eat at O'Hare." His take on the amazing Pepito is worth a look.
