Frida Room Pilsen — a Pilsen brunch & breakfast mainstay. Order the Mexican Food. Buzzy, energetic room where the crowd adds to it, and BYOB. "Everyone was welcoming and the food was the best Mexican food I have ever had" — Jessica Martinez

“Frida’s Room in Pilsen is such a great spot.”
Frida’s Room in Pilsen is such a great spot! The service is excellent, and the food is delicious and very reasonably priced. Their café de olla is so good—and the best part is that they offer refills on both the regular coffee and the café de olla, which is a huge plus. If you go, make sure to ask for Maria (la Chiquita). She is super sweet and was constantly checking on our table to make sure we were taken care of. Her attention and kindness really made our experience even better. Highly recommend Frida’s Room for great food, great service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere in Pilsen.

“First time trying Frida Room and the food did not disappoint.”
First time trying Frida Room and the food did not disappoint. It was delicious and ingredients were quite fresh! We didn’t have to wait too long (went in on a Monday around 10am) and our waitress was very considerate and kind. Portions were sized perfectly. We even had leftovers! Parking is difficult to find, however there is paid parking on the streets. Highly recommend using public transportation.

“The food was delicious.”
The food was delicious. The service was a bit slow due to the high foot traffic. The atmosphere is cute and cozy. Parking is difficult to find. It took about 20 minutes to find a parking space.

“I am grateful to have found a place in Chicago that serves authentic chilaquiles.”
I am grateful to have found a place in Chicago that serves authentic chilaquiles. Each bite 😋 made me feel closer to 🇲🇽 Mexico! Finding a local spot in Pilsen that can make traditional Mexican American and traditional American breakfast is no small feat, plus service is quick and streamlined. This is a busy spot with indoor dining, a bar, and a TV. I highly recommend reservations and leaving plenty of time to find parking. Thank you Frida Room for going above and beyond to make my wife feel special on her birthday and for making me miss the people and flavors of CDMX a little less.

“Very nice surprise.”
Very nice surprise. Was expecting a good brunch, but this was fantastic. Loved the decor and the Frida Kahlo theme. Staff was super nice and attentive, and the place was packed. Food came out quick, and was so good. Love the underlying Mexican theme/twists in the menu. Would definitely come back to try more dishes.
