That's an easy one!! You're looking for the place(s) owned by TV-star/chef Rick Bayless. His 'less' fancy restaurant - Frontera Grill - is very very good and almost always packed. Right next door is Topolabampo, also owned by Bayless and a bit more "upscale". I would guess that the $25/entree range would be ok in either place, tho I personally think that Frontera is the better of the two.
Location is (approx) 500 N. Clark, and I'm sure you can find reviews on both by simply googling Frontera Grill...
Have fun and Best, Dave
