We serve the finest, most authentic and flavorful Mexican food available in the Chicago metropolitan area.
Front Street Cantina began many years ago as a dream. Two amigos, while frequently traveling throughout the Southwest and Mexico, became the greatest of salsa fans. So much did we enjoy Mexican cuisine, that we dreamed of a restaurant serving the finest, most authentic and flavorful food. The dream is now reality. We are happy to share with you the excitement we found in this wonderful cuisine.
