This has been by far the worst Mexican restaurant that I have dinned in. Where do I start? The hostess was very rude; we walked in only heard one word from her "hello" not in a nice way either. Walked to our table she turned around did not say another word. The food was awful to put it in nice words. I ordered the yucatecan red pork. The food had no tastes what so ever. It seems that the food was not fresh at least not from that day. The rice taste like it came out of a box. My wife ordered chicken Fajitas. All it was, dry chicken on top of lettuce. Chicken had no taste. The only reason that I give it 2 stars and not 1 is because of the waitress was very attentive and courteous. At the end of dinner my wife told me to take home the left over for the dog and that was I normally do. But this time I told her. “Why my dog has not done anything to me”. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Went with my girlfriend. Waited almost 20 minutes for a table when they said it would be 15. Told them we were going to wait by the bar. The only reason we got seated was Becuase I saw people get seated before us that walked in after us. Food was alright. My girlfriend said they had good chicken tacos. I got an order of steak nachos in which you can tell the cheese was microwaved. The only good thing about this place is the margeritas. Except that they are on the pricy side. Expect to pay around $8 per drink.

Good food, slightly overpriced (aside from weeknight drink specials), service varies wildly depending on who you get. Have had many outstanding experiences here in years past. However, on multiple more recent occasions have had several unaccounted-for drinks added to our partys check. Upon notifying management of this, they had a very negative attitude and the situation was never really resolved. So I would caution anyone having a few drinks with dinner to keep a close eye on the bill.

Solid tex-mex option for the area. The (free) pico de gallo is pretty darn tasty. Their steak/beef are fairly bland so we usually choose chicken when given an option. I usually get the zacatecas meal with chicken enchiladas with a sole fish taco (tacos on the beach). Over the past few years, theyve been adding craft beers to their beer menu, which is nice. Its generally pretty crowded on Fridays and Saturdays but when its just the 2 of us, we dont usually have to wait.

Used to really like this restaurant but very disappointed with my recent visit. The service the fair at best-waiter was not very attentive. The food as mediocre-there are plenty of Mexican restaurants in the area that not only serve better food but at a better price. My shrimp tacos only had 5 shrimp between the two of them and only one had guacamole on it-they looked like a 5 year old put them together. Kids meals dont include a beverage-too pricey for what you get.

The tostada & burrito were ok but not the chicken fajitas. The chicken meat was very dry and the manager argued with the paying customer instead of rectifying the situation. We were not even rude to her. Very disappointing & terrible how the manager treated us. Were very sorry for the waitress who got stiffed of her tip because of the manager and only because of the manager. To the waitress get your tip from your manager she seems to know everything. Terrible

Very nice place! They have choices for all types of people. For example I like tacos but I cant handle real spicy stuff. I was very satisfied with what this place offers. And its good quality to. I ordered a burrito and i actually got a good size burrito. I didnt get a tiny burrito on top of a pound of rice. Very nice place.

The food was decent; not super authentic, but okay. Id say similar to a Pedros or ChiChis or similar chain. We sat at the bar. It wasnt that busy, but the service was still pretty slow. Bartender was not very attentive. But, prices were reasonable. I wouldnt avoid the place, but will not be rushing back either.

The salsa and guac were okay. I had the taco salad with shredded beef and it was soggy with not a lot of flavor. I wouldnt have it again. The waitress was nice but it took more than 30 minutes to get our checks. The bar messed up drink orders more than once and the birthday girl never got one of her drinks.

Extremely delicious everything. The salsa they give you with your chips when you arrive is fresh made in house and I couldnt stop from eating it all. Great margaritas, tacos, and service!!! We will be coming back for sure!

Had a chicken burrito, no flavor, plate was hot, not the food. I asked if they could put the Cubs game on. They turned in on for the first half of the 1st inning. Changed it to the Stanley Cup, and the White Sox.

The chicken tacos campos is fantastic! The sauce is so yummy, and the cilantro finishes it off perfectly. Definitely one of my favorite things to eat! Plus, it goes great with a frozen margarita too!

I got a chicken burrito with double rice. Very good burrito, Ill be returning very soon. The chips are good, comes with a nice spicy salsa. The service was fast and great. No complaints.

From what I hear, this is a fluke, but our experience was less than stellar. Our waitress was awful and the food was ok. We would give them another try, however.

Good food and decent atmosphere but service is slow and there is generally a wait. A little pricey for the location but the food is good so Ill go back again.

Front Street Cantina has been a hit with the family for a while. They have big portions, good food, and most of the time above average service.

I personally would not eat there again but everyone else loves the food. I had chicken tamales with rice and beans and didnt like any of them.
