"River North is full of spots owned by Chicago’s culinary overlord, Rick Bayless. (If you’re new to the city, know that it’s his shadow, not a groundhog’s, that tells Chicagoans how many weeks of winter we have left.) Besides being a meteorological oracle, Bayless also has some fantastic Mexican restaurants. Like Frontera, which has been around for over 30 years and is still one of our favorite places in the neighborhood. It has consistently great dishes like carne asada and enchiladas, and it’s great if you’re spending the evening with an out-of-towner who happens to watch the Cooking Channel - or if you just want a casual sit-down Mexican meal." - adrian kane
