“Cute place for brunch.”

Cute place for brunch. We tried the Mexican coffee and the iced chai latte and they were both delightful. The food was good too and the churros were excellent. Our waitress was very sweet and welcoming. Would come back!

Stopped by around 10am on a Sunday, and we were seated right away. The staff was so friendly and the service was amazing! The food was great and so were the prices. I don't know anywhere else in Lincoln Square where you can get this much great food without breaking your wallet.

“This place is great.”

This place is great. The service is amazing, and the staff is really friendly. The food tastes spectacular (I had the house special challah French toast with wild berries along with a blueberry lemon smoothie). The overall atmosphere is really comfortable, making it a nice place to grab a bite while talking to friends. It is also in a really easy to get to part of the square.

“This place is amazing!”

This place is amazing!! I got the enchiladas and the buffalo chicken sandwich. They were so flavorful and the portions were perfect! My daughter loved the pancakes, and the service was awesome. Really small inside, so be prepared for a wait, but besides that literally perfect.

“This is the best brunch I have ever had.”

This is the best brunch I have ever had! We enjoyed the whole experience so much on Saturday that we came back on Sunday to eat here again. The host was very friendly and gave wonderful recommendations on what to try. Maria was our waitress and was everything you could ask for in a waitress plus more. She was so kind, friendly, and informative about everything on the menu. We never had to ask for anything because she was so attentive and made the experience so much better! On Saturday, the host recommended the steak tostadas, and that is what I had. My wife ordered the omelets with fresh fruit, and we also ordered the Mexican street corn. The steak tostadas was absolutely amazing. Everything tasted so fresh and seasoned perfectly. The portions are large, and we struggled to finish everything. We came back on Sunday, and it was just as wonderful. Maria actually recognized us, and you could tell it genuinely made her happy that we enjoyed the experience so much we came back. It's hard to explain, but it is definitely obvious that all of the employees enjoyed their jobs, and customer satisfaction was the best I have ever experienced. On Sunday, I ordered the P&B eggs Benedict, and my wife had the Chilaquiles Verdes Con Pollo. I was blown away by the eggs Benedict. Everything tasted so fresh and prepared to perfection. You know the food is good when after every bite you are telling your spouse how good it is and trying to share each new flavor you discover with the one you love. We also had the cinnamon coffee, which was recommended by another customer on Saturday and the Ponche Navideno that Maria recommended. When I tell you that both of these will warm your heart and bring a smile to your face, that's a guarantee. The Ponche Navideno is a traditional Mexican fruit punch served hot with fresh and dried fruits. Maria explained to us how to go about drinking it, which was simple but definitely worth following. First, you take out the sugar cane and bite down on it, releasing the sweet flavor of the beverage soaked sugar cane into your mouth. While riding that flavor Rollercoaster, you smash the fruit in the bottom of the drink and stir. Then repeat. This drink is so good. the only way to make it better was a little splash of your favorite adult beverage and a comfortable seat around a campfire. I will definitely be eating brunch here every chance I can when I aIm in Chicago. If you have made it this far, just take my word and go enjoy yourself. Thank you, Maria and staff, for such a wonderful experience. To the owner, I would like to say I appreciate putting together such a wonderful team, fresh ingredients, and such a wonderful place!!!!! MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!!

“Absolutely blown away by the brunch we had.”

Absolutely blown away by the brunch we had. We had the chilaquiles and molletes. We’ve had chilaquiles before, and these stacked up at the top of the list for us. It was our first time trying molletes and we were so happy we did. The pico they put on top was so vibrant and fresh, and paired nicely with the soft and savory beans and bread. We also had the cafe de ollo. Everything was great, the vibes are fun, and the staff was very nice. I cannot wait to go back!

“I’ve been here almost five times and I finally left a review — my favorite breakfast place in my neighborhood.”

I’ve been here almost five times and I finally left a review — my favorite breakfast place in my neighborhood. I’m trying to make my way through the menu but so far my favorite is the grande burro and the breakfast sandwiches (sliders.) Would definitely recommend. It’s a fun little diner with kind staff and tasty breakfast/brunch food.

“It's such a great place to come and have a monster delicious breakfast from omolettes to sandwiches.”

It's such a great place to come and have a monster delicious breakfast from omolettes to sandwiches. I am definitely coming back for another item off that menu maybe customize it with some pepper jack cheese or spicier spices. Went with the El Español and wasn't disappointed at all‼️
