Front Street Cantina

Possibly one of the worst Mexican restaurants in the greater Chicagoland metropolitan area.  
It seemed that one of the servers stole our table from someone else - which was a shame because the other server had to be better than the one we got.  She didn't know the specials, took our drink orders separately, (because my husband was using the restroom) and brought our bill before we asked - so I guess I was done, whether I wanted to be or not.
The food was bad, too.  The guac was grocery store variety, no heat, no spice, nothing special.  The salsa was a mix of chopped up tomatoes, nothing more.  My two tacos campos, one chicken, one steak, were really bad.  The meat seemed as if it was flat ironed on to the grill, because both sides of each piece of meat had a hardened crust on it.  My husband said there were no words to describe how bad his tamale was and that his burrito was edible.  Don't even get me started on the watery beans.  In a city that has a Mexican restaurant every few miles, my advice is to just keep on driving.

I was really excited to have a local Mexican restaurant in Lemont and I really wanted to like it.  I love Mexican food.

The wife and I gave this place a try 3 times.
The first time, the food was ok. I thought perhaps it was just the meal I ordered.
(Although I got a combo plate.)

Then the second time I tried something different and I was starting to wonder if it was everything on a whole/ that didn't appeal to me.
So I gave the place one last chance and that was the end of it. It was really not good at all. Nothing seemed close to authentic at all/
It all seemed very bland and just thrown together. I had some strange unknown spices that did not work well together.
I was very disappointed to say the least. As was the wife.

Unfortunately we won't be going back.

I tried this place many times. It's not bad, but it's not good either. Kind of in the middle the road.
