“If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I would.”

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I would! Out of this world, magnificent 🇲🇽 restaurant located in Little Village. From the Spice Green Chili's w/ Conchinita Pibil, to the Conchinita Pibil Torta to the Conchinita Pibil Omelette to the Carrot pancakes and Mexican 🥔 Skins and Hibiscus Water, you name it, I'll garuntee you it'll be magnificent. The atmosphere is cozy and chic and the vibe very social. This is a the place to go for some delicious breakfast! We'll have to find our way back and try the sandwiches someday.

“Tasty food, great staff, everyone was friendly and helpful.”

Tasty food, great staff, everyone was friendly and helpful. My mom is in a wheelchair and they have a ramp to enter. They helped us in. The bathroom has bars but is a tight space. The building is older so that’s why. The staff accommodated us as best they could with accessibility. Highly recommend the beignets and anything with turkey chorizo!! So good!

“Walking into Azul 18, I wasn’t sure what to expect.”

Walking into Azul 18, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The restaurant carries itself with a quiet elegance—classic yet inviting, polished yet warm. At first, the space was calm, with the kind of peaceful morning stillness that makes you want to sip coffee and ease into the day. But in what felt like an instant, the energy shifted. The doors swung open, conversations filled the air, and suddenly, the place was alive, vibrant, and full of the kind of energy that makes a restaurant feel truly special. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, and what arrived at my table was nothing short of morning perfection. The dish was a masterpiece, carefully layered with bold yet balanced flavors. At the heart of it all were the eggs, two perfectly cooked sunny-side-up beauties, their yolks like pools of golden sunlight, glistening and waiting to spill over the layers beneath. They were silky, rich, and luscious, their warmth melting into every bite. Beneath them, a crispy fried tortilla provided the perfect foundation, sturdy yet delicate. The homemade turkey chorizo added a smoky depth, mingling beautifully with the creamy refried beans, while the velvety guacamole offered a cool contrast. The queso fresco and sour cream added a luxurious creaminess, balancing the bold flavors, as the tomatillo sauce wrapped everything in a tangy, slightly spicy embrace. A final sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top completed the dish, adding a bright, herbal touch. Every bite was a symphony of textures and flavors, crispy, creamy, smoky, tangy, and rich all at once. The dish was thoughtfully composed, each ingredient enhancing the next, making breakfast feel both elegant and indulgent. This wasn’t just a meal; it was a beautifully crafted experience, turning a classic into something refined yet comforting. Azul 18 understands how to elevate flavors with intention, and I already know I’ll be back for more.

“Azul 18, not to be confused with Azul Mariscos is a great brunch spot in the Pilsen area.”

Azul 18, not to be confused with Azul Mariscos is a great brunch spot in the Pilsen area. I visited on a Sunday morning, and there was plenty of street parking available. The restaurant has about 30 tables, but some of the table spacing is pretty tight, so if you have big hips like me, you'll be comfy seating on the bench seats, but squeeze your body in between the tables and be careful not to hit the patron sitting next to you! The menu has some classic items like waffles and pancakes, but their Mexican entrees are tasteful. Everything was good and I would definitely go back! We tried the following: Orange Strawberry Kiwi Juice Mexican Beignets with Raspberry Jam and Nutella Mexican Omelette with Refried Beans Short Stack of Pancakes Chilaquiles with Braised Short Ribs, Eggs, Guacamole, Sour Cream, Pico de Gallo, Queso and Hominy
