Amarillo is home to some fantastic restaurants, and while several have had to close in recent months, there is one restaurant that is thriving and getting ready to celebrate a milestone.
One of the best Mexican restaurants in Amarillo is La Frontera
La Frontera serves great, authentic Mexican food and has been serving delicious food for 40 years.
What are we celebrating?
La Frontera is preparing to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
One of the dishes I look forward to trying when I visit is the Carne Guisada. It reminds me of my childhood and the Carne Guisada I used to eat as a child.
La Frontera not only serves delicious Mexican food, but is also famous for its annual street festival.
Let’s celebrate!!!
Once a year the block closes and a block party is held with food, fun, live music and more. This year, however, the block party tradition ends. This year’s celebration will be the last.
According to a Facebook post on their restaurant page:
It’s here!!! THE LAST Blockfest! Our hearts are so full knowing we’ve made it to 40 years in business. That’s such an amazing accomplishment and we have each and every one of you to thank for it! We love what we do and the community we do it for!
The event will take place on Sunday, September 1st
Musical performances include:
- Inception
- The Arches of Hermanos PeÑa
- Special guest appearance by Art Tigerina
- Drill performance by The Lone Guard
Tickets for the event cost $10 in advance or $15 at the door; children are free.
VIP tables are available for $300.
- Table + 4 tickets
- Free food service from 5pm to 7pm
- Private bathroom
- Private bartender
- 1- drink voucher per VIP guest
You can purchase tickets at La Frontera, 1401 S. Arthur, or Fillmore’s Bar, 1005 N. Fillmore.
Don’t miss your chance to make memories and celebrate one last time at La Frontera Block Party. Just because it’s the last Block Party doesn’t mean they’re closing. They will still be open and hopefully serve delicious Mexican food in Amarillo for another 40 years.
