“Great spot with fantastic food and outstanding service. Tribu is a must-visit! From the moment I walked in, everyone was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, fresh, flavorful and clearly made with care. generous portions too! Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch or just a coffee, the menu will have something for you. It’s easy to see why this is local favorite spot.”
“Food was actually REALLY good. So delicious and excellent portions and service. Latte was also phenomenal. Full of flavor and not watered down. Such a friendly group of people working there. Excellent service too. Very attentive without being pushy. Was told to get the potatoes and I have no regrets. YUM! Def will visit again!!”
“Our Sunday breakfast - i had the chilaquilles divorciados. It's a delicious concoction of tortilla chips, black beans, sour cream, guacamole, scrambled eggs with green and red sauces. It has a hint of spiciness. My girlfriend had a short stack of pancakes with berries - fluffy and light with the right amount of sweetness - the sweet cream was just the right condiment to the berries. The staff are friendly and attentive. Definitely worth going.”
“Food was incredible. The chilaquiles were delicious and I highly recommend. They were playing such good music too I was singing along with every bite. Thank you to the staff at Tribu for making it such a nice visit.”
“First of all, Alex is an amazing server and lovely person! He has great recommendations and I would trust his opinions with my life. Highly recommend the orange juice as a beverage, and for food, I can vouch for the banana waffles, chilaquiles, and Monte Cristo sandwich. I absolutely will be coming back with friends!”
“Neighborly clean restaurant with good tasty food and attentive service. Egg Benedict, omelette and potatoes were delicious. Great coffee and fresh juice. Owner in the kitchen cooking which is always a plus.”
“Very fast service for a weekend! Came here and tried their eggs benedict and was not surprised! Staff was super friendly and quick to take my order and I was in and out in less than 30 mins! Also really liked the unique art displays on the walls. Will definitely be stopping here again next time I’m in Chicago.”
“I recently discovered Tribu Caffe and was blown away by the great service and food. The chilaquiles transported me back to Mexico! Everything was fresh and the portions were huge. I also enjoyed an iced latte to top off the experience. I would highly recommend Tribu Caffe if you’re looking for a tasty and affordable brunch spot in the neighborhood.”
“The food and service at Tribu Caffe was top notch. We came in for breakfast and are so glad we did. A highlight was their house potatoes which are packed with flavor. I’m not sure what they use to season them, but they were fire! I got the two eggs your way (over medium) with a side of fruit and white toast. Everything was delicious. I also got a cup of chicken noodle soup and licked the cup clean. It was the perfect addition to my meal on a cold and rainy day. My mom got the parfait which she said was really good. The portion was huge so she got the rest to go. If you’re looking for a smaller plate, I recommend asking for a half portion to see if that’s an option. The service was great and all the staff we talked to were so friendly. I can’t wait to come back and try their Brisket Hash which they recently added as a special 4 weeks ago. Thank you Tribu!”
“Had an awesome brunch and enjoyed the unique murals. Can't wait to go back!”
