Rick Bayless’ Airport Torta Concept Heads Downtown

Tortas Frontera, the O’Hare airport Mexican sandwich concept from chef Rick Bayless, is coming to downtown Chicago through a new partnership with Kitchen United. Beginning August 24, Tortas Frontera will begin offering locally-sourced Mexican specialties for pickup and delivery from Kitchen United’s Near North Side location.

In addition, pickup and delivery will also be available at Tortazo at Willis Tower – a sister brand of Tortas Frontera. Between the two locations, Tortas Frontera’s delivery radius will cover the majority of downtown Chicago.

“Over the years, I have met countless people who have shared their deep love and gratitude for Tortas Frontera, many even routing their flights through O’Hare in order to enjoy their favorite torta,” said Bayless. “During this time of reduced travel, I’m thrilled to partner with Kitchen United to bring Tortas Frontera to Chicago residents where they live and work.”
