As anyone who has been living in Plainfield IL for the last year knows, the downtown area has recently been renovated. Unfortunately, that meant avoiding the area for quite some time. About 2 months ago, my car needed some work so I took it up to Plainfield Automotive Inc. on Rt. 59. Since the time it was going to take to fix my car was going to overlap lunch time, I decided to walk into town to get a bite to eat. I wasn’t sure where I was going to go, but I started down Rt. 59 in the rain and turned down Des Plaines St and ran right into The Front Street Cantina in Plainfield.
I felt like a loser sitting down in the restaurant all by myself since the kids were with my father in law at home, but that wasn’t about to stop this hungry pregnant girl from embarrassing myself!
I’d never been to the Front Street Cantina to eat before, but the food was absolutely delicious. They had some really terrific lunch specials and authentic complementary chips and salsa. I thought to myself, this is the perfect place to bring the family for some casual authentic Mexican food, or great place to grab a couple of drinks with friends on the weekend.
I’ve been back several times since my recent discovery of The Front Street Cantina in Plainfield IL (but this time I wasn’t alone 
), and everything I’ve tried on the menu is delicious. My personal favorites are the Chicken Fajitas and the Cheese Enchiladas. The food is served fast and hot, which is great if you get the chance to sneak in on your lunch break.
If you’ve never been to The Front Street Cantina in Plainfield, I highly recommend it. You won’t be dissapointed!

Julie - sounds like a great place. I love good Mexican food, but, how are the margaritas and the quacamole? And, when are you going to have the baby?
Hey Mike, thanks for stopping by! Ahhhh, the margarita report will have to wait until after June 22nd, which is my due date :)
