Fronteras Super Market Carniceria y Restaurant is a Mexican grocery, butcher counter (carnicería) and taqueria under one roof at 761 Central Ave, Kansas City, Kansas — the eastern, downtown-adjacent end of the Central Avenue corridor, two doors from osuna-bakery at 749 Central. The Kansas City, Kansas CVB carries it as a current listing on the KCK Taco Trail under the “Authentic Mexican” category, with hours, phone and a business email.1 It also appears on the corridor merchants’ own Flavors of Central tour, there listed simply as “Fronteras Restaurant.”2 Tier 1 — single-location independent in Wyandotte County. Owner and founding year are ****; no first-party menu with prices was recoverable.

Description

Fronteras sits at 761 Central Avenue, at the downtown end of the Central Avenue corridor where the strip’s Latino commercial run meets the older Strawberry Hill / downtown KCK street grid. It is the corridor’s characteristic three-in-one format: a Mexican grocery with a butcher counter and a hot-food counter in the same room, so that the same trip yields produce and dry goods, cut-to-order meat, and a taco plate. The CVB describes it as a “Local supermarket with deli, featuring all your favorite Mexican dishes.”1

Its immediate corridor neighbours are already in the Registry: osuna-bakery at 749 Central, twelve doors east; slaps-bbq at 553 and splitlog-coffee-co at 548 further toward downtown; el-pirata-kck at 1031 and el-torito at 1304 to the west.2

The business is carried on the KCK Taco Trail, the Kansas City, Kansas CVB’s mapped programme of Wyandotte County taquerias, under the primary category “Authentic Mexican.”1 That is a meaningful signal for a grocery-led business: the Trail catalogues taco counters, which places the restaurant half of Fronteras — not just the grocery — in the CVB’s public inventory.

Ownership and history

Not established. No owner name, founding year, family history or press profile for Fronteras was located in any source that could be opened. There is no KCUR, Pitch, Kansas City Magazine, Startland or Kansas City Star profile of the business that surfaced on search.

**** A Kansas Secretary of State entity search, a Wyandotte County food-establishment and retail-food-store licence check, and a USDA/Kansas Department of Agriculture meat-handling registration check (the carnicería makes the last one likely to name a responsible party) are the obvious next moves and have not been run.

Independence: no chain, franchise or out-of-metro parent identified. Nothing in the record suggests anything other than a single owner-operated storefront.

⚠ Two unrelated businesses share this name and must not be merged into this page:

  • Fronteras Mexican Restaurant & Cantina, Gardner, Kansas (fronterasks.com, order.fronterasks.com) — a Johnson County restaurant with no established connection to 761 Central Ave.
  • fronterasmart.com — a domain that resolves but redirects to fronteraforward.com, an unrelated site (which itself returned HTTP 522 on fetch). It is not this business’s website and was not used as a source.3

menu_status: unverified · Last checked: 2026-08-13

Confirmed absence of a recoverable first-party menu (checked 2026-08-13). Surfaces checked and their outcomes:

  • Independent domain — none. fronterasmart.com resolves but redirects off to an unrelated site; fronterasks.com belongs to a different business in Gardner, Kansas.3
  • Facebook page (the CVB-listed web URL) — Facebook browser-error page on every fetch; no menu retrieved.4
  • Visit KCK CVB listing — carries hours, phone, email, category and takeout flag, but no menu and no prices.1
  • No Toast, Square, Clover, Menufy or gotoeat storefront was located for this business.

Zmenu, Restaurantji, Yelp, Novacircle and Nears.me all carry item lists for the address. All are aggregators and are excluded for pricing under Registry doctrine. No price appears on this page.

For a grocery-plus-carnicería the more valuable capture would be a weekly circular (shelf and meat-case pricing) rather than a taqueria menu; none was located on any first-party surface.

Disputes

  • Name form. “Fronteras Super Market Carniceria y Restaurant” (CVB listing title, Facebook page name) versus “Fronteras Restaurant” (Flavors of Central) versus “Fronteras Mart & Taqueria” (Yelp listing title, and a second Facebook page at facebook.com/Fronterasmart/) versus “Frontera’s Supermarket” with an apostrophe (several directories). All are recorded as aliases. Whether “Fronteras Mart & Taqueria” is a rebrand, a name for the restaurant half only, or a separate entity is **** — no first-party statement was retrievable and no signage photograph was verified.
  • Zip code. The CVB gives 66101; the Flavors of Central tour also gives 66101. Both agree. Recorded here only because the corridor straddles the 66101/66102 boundary around the 900 block.
