Plainfield Mexican Restaurant Closes; New Eatery Likely to Move In

A downtown Plainfield building is looking for a new tenant.

Plainfield's Fiesta Mexicana closed up shop before the holidays, but several potential tenants are interested in occupying the restaurant, according to a local realtor.

Village planner Michael Garrigan said the eatery, 24136 W. Lockport St., closed in November after the owners opted not to renew their lease.

"They have several other restaurants," he said of the Chicago-area Fiesta Mexicana chain, "and I think there was a lot of competition from Front Street Cantina" on nearby Des Plaines Street.

Mark Batinick of RE/MAX Professionals South said several potential tenants are looking at the 3,300-square-foot property.

"We've had a lot of activity," he said. While no deal has been finalized, he said the building will remain a restaurant.

The property is currently available for sale or lease, with a sale price of $1.04 million.
