MARENGO – “I want to make Mexican and Southwest cuisine friendlier and more sophisticated for our customers.”

The intentions of Corner Cantina’s Executive Chef Raul Del Toro come to life in the Mexican-American offerings of the Marengo establishment. Opened since March 2012, the Southwest-inspired restaurant located at the corner for Grant Highway and South State Street offers a menu for a variety of palettes, a private dining room for parties, a full bar and catering.

Del Toro came on board in October 2012 after he closed the doors of his previous restaurant Del Toro’s Tex-Mex Grill and Bar in Huntley. Due to the recession and the inconvenient road construction on Route 47, Del Toro made the decision to close the doors after more than a decade in business. Though one door had closed for Del Toro, an opportunity arose to become part of the Corner Cantina family.
