Halloween at Old Crow Wrigleyville - Chicago's #1 Country Bar

Cantina Taco Grill, 15 W. Jefferson Ave., Suite 101, Naperville 60540

Naperville is getting a taste of something new.&nbsp;Cantina Taco Grill, 15 W. Jefferson Ave., Suite 101, will soon bring a bold, modern take on Mexican cuisine from the family behind the beloved Taco Grill and Salsa Bar in Westmont, as they are proud to announce they will be opening for breakfast, lunch and dinner this Fall. The concept is led by local restaurateurs Jose Oliver, owner and executive chef, and his wife, Ivonne Oliver, who opened Taco Grill and Salsa Bar together in 2001, joined in the kitchen by Chef Francisco García. The new restaurant will focus on serving up elevated proteins leveraging unique flavors, creating a new experience for diners built on the traditions and techniques of Mexican cuisine they know and love. 
Chef Jose Oliver has decades of culinary experience, including cooking for restaurants, hotels and conference centers, and, most importantly, for his own family and friends. It has long been his passion to serve the finest and freshest food using the recipes he remembers from growing up in Mexico. That same philosophy will carry into Cantina Taco Grill, reimagined through a modern, upscale lens. 
Cantina Taco Grill's kitchen will also be led by Chef Francisco García, who brings years of international training and mentorship to the restaurant. Francisco began his culinary career as a pastry chef at Atelier Belge in Spain, building a foundation in technique and precision that has carried through his career. He has since worked alongside notable chefs across fine dining, contemporary Mexican cuisine and Japanese gastronomy, including Gerardo Corona Alarcón at El Viñedo, now Executive Chef with Habitas Hotels, and sushi chef Carmelo Ortiz, whose résumé spans Nobu Los Cabos and Nobu Bahamas. His pastry and baking training was further shaped by Alejandro Lechuga Acosta, a French pastry specialist and Cacao Barry brand ambassador. That range of experience informs Francisco's approach at Cantina Taco Grill, where he aims to create food that feels both sophisticated and approachable, rooted in tradition while looking toward what comes next. 
The menu will center on elevated proteins for its tacos, including bone marrow, picanha and New York strip, each prepared in a Josper oven, a Spanish charcoal oven that combines a grill and an oven to sear proteins at high heat, sealing in juiciness while giving each dish a distinctive smoky char. Breakfast offerings will include inventive dishes such as a poblano pepper omelet and a shrimp and mascarpone omelet, alongside a dinner menu drawing on traditional Mexican cooking reimagined through a modern lens. For dessert, guests will be able to order a flan flight featuring several traditional Mexican style flans. 
The bar program will highlight an extensive tequila and mezcal selection alongside made from scratch margaritas, including housemade syrups and unique flavor combinations. 
The restaurant's interior will bring a bright, modern feel, with seating for 70 to 85 guests in the dining room and up to 150 guests on the spacious outdoor patio. Cantina Taco Grill will be open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 
Cantina Taco Grill is located at 15 W. Jefferson Ave., Suite 101, in Naperville, and opens this Fall. The restaurant will be open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The 114-suite facility at 934 N. Church Rd. will bring flexible warehouse and office space, loading docks and an on-site operations team to the Chicago market. Designed for businesses that have outgrown working from a garage, spare bedroom, or fragmented collection of storage and office spaces but aren't ready to commit to a traditional warehouse, Saltbox will give growing businesses the ability to expand their operations. Its co-warehousing model combines private warehouse and office suites with the shared infrastructure businesses need to receive inventory, prepare orders, and ship products. 
Members receive month-to-month access to loading docks, mail and package receiving, daily carrier pickups, equipment, conference rooms, a content studio, high-speed Wi-Fi, printing, in-suite power, 24/7 security and reserved parking. Kitchen, workspace, and community areas give founders and their teams room to work beyond the warehouse floor. 
The on-site operations team is central to the Saltbox model. Team members receive inventory, bring it to members' suites, support carrier handoffs, and help solve day-to-day workflow challenges. Businesses can also access Saltbox Fulfillment and S.O.S. (Saltbox Operations Support) for additional hands-on help as their volume and operational needs change. 
The Saltbox team chose Elmhurst so that Chicagoland founders and their teams could run their operations closer to home, instead of the common scenario of needing to drive long distances to industrial corridors separated far apart from the rest of their day. The new facility will be situated just minutes from downtown Elmhurst, offering a walkable stretch of restaurants, coffee shops, and services nearby.&nbsp; 
The Elmhurst location places members near the transportation routes and commercial communities that power the Chicago region. The I-290 and I-294 interchange is approximately five minutes away, O'Hare International Airport is within a short drive and Elk Grove Village, one of the country's largest industrial parks, is seven miles from the facility, with downtown Elmhurst about two miles away, keeping restaurants, services and other amenities accessible to members and their teams. 
Suites range from 88 to 1,809 square feet: smaller suites accommodate approximately four pallets and one or two people, giving emerging businesses a practical next step after outgrowing the home, while larger suites can hold as many as 125 pallets and provide room for a full team managing fulfillment under one roof. The building also incorporates details from Elmhurst's history, with conference rooms named Salt Creek, after the waterway where the area's earliest settlers made their homes, and Cottage Hill, the community's original name from 1845 to 1869. 
Saltbox Elmhurst is designed for ecommerce and direct-to-consumer brands, consumer packaged goods companies, wholesalers, and businesses handling light assembly or kitting, along with project pros, designers and industrial operators who need functional space, dock access and operational support without building those capabilities themselves. It's not intended for businesses that only need inexpensive storage, a self-storage unit may be a better fit there, but for teams actively shipping, receiving and managing physical operations, Saltbox offers more control, visibility and flexibility than a fully outsourced model can provide. 
To celebrate the company’s commitment to supporting small businesses, Saltbox is proud to launch the Made in Chicago Grant, awarding one qualified Chicago-area product or ecommerce business a $5,000 credit toward membership at Saltbox Elmhurst in honor of their opening. The grant is open to eligible businesses throughout Chicagoland and the western suburbs, including Elmhurst, DuPage County, Elk Grove Village and Oak Brook. One winner will be selected at random from qualified entrants and announced at the grand opening ceremony in the fall. The credit applies to Saltbox membership fees and does not cover additional services, and no purchase is necessary to enter. Businesses can enter and review the complete eligibility requirements at saltbox.com/made-in-chicago-grant. 
Businesses interested in becoming among the first Saltbox Elmhurst members can also join the Chicago waitlist at saltbox.com/location/chicago-elmhurst. Waitlist members will receive early access to tour availability and membership information.
