The Morales Room

Need a place for a private powwow—but still want to please the palate? Got a hankering to throw a fiesta in Mexico, but can't leave Chicago? Assigned the organization of your next client presentation? Well, think Frontera. Think our private Morales Room, a warm and spirited spot for special events for up to 45 guests.

Amelia Fox’s the one to ask for at Frontera when you've got party needs. From a graduation celebration dinner, bridal shower luncheon or a festive holiday party, she's the one who can set the right mood with music (Mambo anyone? Salsa or tango? Silence?), flowers and, of course, a pretty astonishing variety of classic dishes or new creations from both Frontera and Topolo updated each month.

For a casual cocktail party, select from a variety of passed appetizers to complement our hand-shaken margaritas and seasonal mojitos. Still want that light feel? Opt for the new Small Plates Menu for a 4-course, tapas-style journey though Mexico.

For a more formal tone, experience the five-course Topolobampo Chef's Tasting Menu as a truly decadent option—each dish paired with one of sommelier Jill Gubesch's exquisite wine matches.

Dreaming of a larger event? Frontera can host events for up to 150 with a Sunday or Monday restaurant opening... take it one step further with a live cooking demonstration! Prefer something smaller and behind-the-scenes? For something truly inspired, ask about an intimate event in Rick's Library. The possibilities are endless when it comes to special events at Frontera Grill.

We're here to make it perfect for you. And easy. And unforgettable.
