Chicago TribuneApril 23, 2015Check out Mexican brunch favorite chilaquiles. This fabled hangover cure includes a hefty smattering of fried corn tortilla, chorizo, salsa and over-easy eggs topped with guacamole and queso fresco. Read more
SherryJuly 30, 2014Can't wait to return. Portions large, omelets yellow, not brown, lots of salmon w/bagels, capers, hard boiled egg, etc. Super yum. Staff all family and very sweet. Great addition to N. Center.
ChicagoistJanuary 9, 2015Upon arrival to this family friendly diner you'll be seated in minutes and a hot coffee will follow. You can order off the main menu or try one of the ever-changing specials. Read more
I draw hearts on the Breakfast Burrito. I don't know what kind of awesome they use to cook the chicken carnitas but I wake up on weekend mornings and just crave some burrito goodness.
Nice family-run place for a casual and comfortable meal. Great egg dishes, hash, and interesting Latin American-influenced specials.
Danial ShamsJanuary 4, 2016The hangover chilaquiles are on point. I can never eat the whole thing though.
If you need a pile of delicious food, get the hangover chilaquiles and stat! It's a limited time special 😛
Atniel MelecioOctober 1, 2013Chicken Enchiladas are better here than many other Mexican restaurant in Chicago
Chad BellSeptember 28, 2015Super-friendly. Mexican-inflected diner fare…kinda like Dove's Luncheonette but not high-concept.
Hours are Monday - Saturday 6am to 3pm, but call before you leave - multiple times I've tried to go and they just weren't open. Unfortunate.
Nancy CalalangNovember 8, 2013Overpriced for a breakfast place. Not worth the visit. More affordable places in the area. There is nothing special about this place.

"If you enjoy straight coffee go for a clover-brewed Reserve roast! A little pricier and slower than pre-brewed drip but it's WELL worth it! The Ka'u is my favorite!"
Allison Gill - 9.0
"Can't go wrong with anything here: milk, soap, pizza dough, it's all good!"
John Kidde - 7.1
"Try the chicken tamales verde. They are the best I have ever had!"
