Moe's Cantina - River North

Nestled in the charming River North neighborhood of Chicago, you'll find Moe's Cantina at 155 W. Kinzie. Our beloved establishment boasts the title of the only authentic Northern Mexican restaurant in the area, offering a unique and diverse culinary experience. The flavors of Mexican cuisine vary greatly depending on the region, and our focus lies on the traditional dishes of Northern Mexico, where the desert climate gives rise to a robust livestock population and a strong emphasis on meat-based dishes. Rooted in the rich ranching culture of the region, our menu proudly features smoky flavors that have been passed down through generations, using historic techniques such as wood fire and outdoor cooking. These flavors, combined with our founder Sam Sanchez's treasured family recipes, serve as the foundation for our mouthwatering selection of locally-inspired tacos, succulent steaks, and mesquite-grilled skewers. The devotion to our heritage and traditional values is also reflected in our interior design. From the exposed brick walls to the custom-made wrought iron chandeliers, every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to evoke a sense of warmth and invitation. The open kitchens, complete with wood-burning grills, allow our guests to witness the passion and skill behind every dish. With state-of-the-art sound systems and multiple HDTVs, you can also catch all the latest games while enjoying a meal with loved ones. At Moe's Cantina, we bring the flavors and hospitality of Northern Mexico right to your doorstep, eliminating the need to cross any borders. We cannot wait to welcome you into our humble abode and share our beloved traditions with you. Come join us and experience the true taste of Northern Mexico.
