Cantina Taco Grill | Our Story
A cantina thirty years in the making
Front Street Cantina has been a fixture in downtown Naperville since the early '90s — co-owned by Jim Trader and celebrated by Naperville Magazine as "The Little Cantina That Could."
The food that keeps people coming back
Our menu runs deep — enchiladas, fajitas, and platters alongside signature dishes like Tacos Campos, Pedro Pollo, and Yucatecan Red Pork. Every table starts with complimentary chips and salsa.
A drink for every mood
Our margaritas have their own following — the Swirl and the Mango are guest favorites. We back them up with Mexican and craft beers, sangria wine, and a solid tequila bar.
A space that feels like Naperville
Colorful artwork, woven pendant lights, a welcoming bar, and an outdoor patio right in the heart of walkable downtown Naperville — steps from North Central College.
Live music and daily specials
Live bands play indoors and on the patio, with daily specials giving regulars another reason to stop in. There's always something new to look forward to.
