Vida took the Wieirs location and mastered super-hot plates and lukewarm food (ie: microwave cooking) in all but the peak summer months. Gross now - we stopped going a year ago after ~ 40 visits, now that high school age kids seem to be all that work there and noone seems to care.
Knock on wood but Frontera is legit so far, 3x trips to date, 2-3x entrees per trip and all are awesome. Limited apps, but that's ok for us. Gringo tacos and Wet Burritos are great. They have real bean options, it's nice to have options there.
It looks like a much higher volume location year-round then those previously mentioned, hopefully things stay as they are because as DOX shows, that end of the lakes seems to be up and coming.
Yum so far..

I'm not saying you are wrong. If you read my post, we go to El Jimador because most of the food doesn't have cilantro in it where most Mexican places its in EVERYTHING. So to find a place that my wife can come with me is always a plus.
I did not try the Frontera in Nashua because of all the bad reviews that I got from a lot of people. I will try the one up here because I do know that chef's make it.
