Downtown Naperville is not an easy parking situation anytime, but FSC has great, basic Mexican food and is a family oriented place to eat.
 
They updated their decor, decent and clean, and it's very nice for a couple or for a group with wood bench seats and various sized tables.  We enjoy sitting where we can watch a sports game on one of the three TV's above the bar while chatting and snack-to-excess on served-hot chips and decent salsa while waiting for our food.  (and more chips are free, no fee!)

Empty nesters, my husband and I come for the always delicious and dependable food, not the service.  The service team is always friendly, but we've had some waiters/waitresses better than others over the many times we've been here. (One visit is not enough to evaluate this place when the wait staff team consists of younger people.  Perhaps it's the resident college kids taking on jobs that cause a more quick turnover?)     We've never had a bad meal, though, and they cater to fussy eaters with preferences. (no onions, please.... and they please.)    

We enjoy their combo dinners,(esp. the taco and enchilada combo), which are very filling and are always served fresh and HOT out of the kitchen, making a delicious evening meal.  

The cost is very reasonable for a couple out for the evening, depending on your bar tab.  Drinks are reasonably priced, too.

The wait can be challenging sometimes, but on off-nights, you are in/out in an hour or less, offering time to walk around downtown and enjoy the evening out.  

+ = hot, fresh, good, authentic Mexican food; clean; friendly; family-oriented; downtown location

- = parking, (occasionally a new server), over-busy w/e downtown location

Still love it, though~~ it's a fav!
