Tiztal Cafe — Ravenswood cafe where the Chilaquiles sets the tone. Expect noise, energy, and a full house. They don't skimp here. "The salsa Verde was tangy and done perfectly" — Thomas

“The service is top notch, and the food is delicious”
Been waiting for more than an hour in the cold for a table of 5.
I arrived around 11:20 am and asked the hostess I had a party of 5. She wrote my name and I assumed she wrote it.

“Great local breakfast and lunch spot.”
Great local breakfast and lunch spot! I’ve tried both menus and everything was delicious. The chilaquiles were fantastic, and the patty melt was equally impressive. The oatmeal shake is freaking addictive. The atmosphere is welcoming and very clean, and the staff is friendly and attentive. A must-try spot.

I am obsessed with their juices especially vampire juice. I also had chilaquiles with steak and it was delicious!

“Came here for breakfast and ordered the Chilaquiles.”
Came here for breakfast and ordered the Chilaquiles. The portion was generous, with perfectly crunchy tortillas covered in warm, flavorful salsa. The side of potatoes was crispy and seasoned just right. Overall, a very satisfying meal!

“Delicious meal, generous portions, and reasonable prices in a no-frills storefront.”
Delicious meal, generous portions, and reasonable prices in a no-frills storefront. The staff was busy but wait times were never unreasonable. Repeat complementary coffee refills and generous juice portions. The chilaquiles were amazing and I appreciate having the option on how you'd like your eggs prepared. I recommend getting them with the steak ($18 and worth it), but our table also loved them with chorizo. Would absolutely recommend this place to others and will be back myself. There was a line of people waiting for tables the whole time we were there so the people know!

“This place is incredible.”
This place is incredible. Everything is fresh. Juices are amazing. They make their own chicken-fried steak. Their hash is fantastic. Sandra, and Teresa, the owner, are both wonderful. You can't go wrong. The steak and eggs is wonderful. Support local restaurants.

“It has been many years since I've been to this restaurant but I decided to go back since a friend...”
It has been many years since I've been to this restaurant but I decided to go back since a friend was visiting from another part of the city. The food was absolutely stellar with the poached eggs being done to perfection and everything highly seasoned. Usually poached eggs come out very watery so I was extremely impressed. They also gave me a little sample of the smoothie my friend had which was 100% juice. Absolutely delicious. The staff were extremely inviting and you could tell that they took a lot of pride in the restaurant and the food it provides. For the quality and the amount of food you get, the price is extremely reasonable especially for the area. I haven't had their signature oatmeal shake in a long time and didn't get it this time around either. But I'll need to come back and try it again. I remember it being quite the treat.

“I’ve been looking for good chilaquiles and I love the one from here.”
I’ve been looking for good chilaquiles and I love the one from here. I have a weird thing with soggy food but the chilaquiles here had a good amount of salsa where the chips were still crunchy. The steak was so good.

I’ve been wanting to come here for so long and it was so worth it! The breakfast potatoes are amazing, exceptionally delicious 💗 I ordered tortillas, pico de gallo and salsa roja with it to make a breakfast taco- yum! I also had the vampiro juice; it was so delightful, so fresh and healthy! Beautiful decor and outdoor patio, wonderful service. I’m looking forward to another brunch here 💖

“The service is always great: fast and friendly.”
The service is always great: fast and friendly. The chilaquiles are my favorite in town. Trust me, I grew up in Mexico City and the people at Tiztal know what they’re doing. The place is small and they don’t take reservations. So there is usually a wait. They will take your number and call you when your table is ready!

“The hype over the Chilaquiles is real.”
The hype over the Chilaquiles is real. This little Cafe is amazing. The service is top notch, and the food is delicious. Price is a bit high, $75 for two including tip, but worth it. The salsa Verde was tangy and done perfectly. The house made chip were light and crispy. The chorizo was flavorful, but not greasy like it is elsewhere. The Mexican Hot chocolate was perfect. We got a Smoothie and Oatmeal shake to go... it is what they started on... and they were very good. Highly recommend. On Sunday at 10am, we experienced less than a 30 min wait.
