Double smash burger w/ bacon and over medium egg. Agua De Jamaica and fresh cut Crinkle Fries.
Brandon D.

Ahuevo's Double Smash Burger (the most popular item on the menu) delivers a classic smash burger experience elevated by thoughtful execution: two 100% American beef patties, real American cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, and a signature secret sauce all nestled in a soft, buttery brioche bun . The patties are seared thin and crisp at the edges, which maximizes savory beef flavor and adds pleasant texture contrast. Reviewers on platforms like Restaurantji and TrustTheCrowd praise the balance of juicy meat and tangy toppings, and mention the locally‑made, fluffy bun as a standout feature . With a price around $10.99, the burger offers strong value, generous portions, and is consistently described as reliably excellent by a staff that clearly cares about service and ingredient quality. Good Mexican ambiance. Complementing the hearty burger, the Agua de Jamaica hibiscus drink offers a refreshing tropical contrast. It's a lightly tart, floral iced tea served from a newly added menu item at Ahuevo in Chicago--typically around $2 for a 16‑oz cup, making it excellent bang for the buck . The drink's bright crimson hue and crisp flavor cut through the richness of the burger with a clean finish. Customers often pair it with breakfast tater tots or egg sandwiches as a cooling palate cleanser. For those seeking a lighter, more refreshing beverage alongside a savory and hearty sandwich, the Jamaica drink is a perfect match. Overall, Ahuevo nails the fundamentals of a smash burger--think juicy, seared beef, crisp toppings, and handmade brioche--while their Agua de Jamaica adds a smart, refreshing foil that rounds out the meal beautifully.

Pork Sausage, Egg and Cheese

This Gem is worth looking for !!! If you are interested in one of the best Breakfast sandwiches or burritos, you have to try Ahuevo if you're in the area of Little Village. It's literally a Restaurant inside a Restaurant ! Mi Tierra 2528 S. Kedzie The staff is very kind and polite !!! My choice for today was a breakfast sandwich which was pretty tasty, can't wait to try something else off the menu !!! So stop by if ever in the neighborhood!!!

Turkey sausage sandwich and loaded tots

This restaurant is inside another restaurant called Mi Tierra. The young lady who assisted us was very nice. We are able to sit inside the restaurant and eat. It looked very clean. I had the puffy tots con huevos and my friend had the turkey sausage and egg sandwich. I also had the Cafe con chata. I received it cold but I know it would taste just as delicious hot. We had no complaints in regards to our food. Everything received was good and hot.

Horchata

Came to Ahuevo for brunch and the breakfast here was absolutely delicious. It's located inside of Mi Tierra restaurant in Little Village and the space has a great vibe and stylish decor. The staff was great asking us when we arrived if we needed a menu for Ahuevo or Mi Tierra. I ordered The Ahuevo and the Turkey Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich. Both were great. The bread was fresh, and the eggs were perfectly cooked. We also tried the puffy tots, which were super crispy along with an Abuelita Hot Chocolate and Horchata. For something sweet, we had the Guava y Coco cookies, which were also really good. Definitely need to come back here to try more off the Ahuevo menu as well as the food on Mi Tierra's menu.

Food Ambiance Service - got better after we spoke. Went to see the "Shameless" house from the TV series, and this place wasn't far. There was a little confusion finding the place, not because of the location, but because of the name. Ahuevo and Mi Tierra are one and the same. Anyway, greeted, and seated right away, and that's when the one and only issue came up. It seemed as if we were forgotten for a few minutes before I had to get up and speak to someone that we are still waiting to be seen. After that everything went well. I would definitely come back here!

Quite simply the best breakfast sandwhich I've had in Chicago. Note: it's a ghost kitchen but they have signs posted outside of Mi Tierra.

EL VURRITO ( Vegan) with a brioche bun instead of the wrap
Chelsea S.

only giving this four stars because they didn't add my tater tots on the sandwich. i was looking for a place that had a vegan breakfast sandwich option for me and a non vegan option for my sis. so this was the perfect place. the girls taking our to go order were friendly and pleasant. it was inside of a huge restaurant so if we wanted to dine in that was definitely an option but we chose to grab ours to go. overall loved the space and would definitely go back.

Had Ahuevo on Harrison, (their new location) with some friends and everything was fantastic. The double smash burger with everything was unreal -- crispy, juicy, and the flavors made it truly the best smash burger I've had in Chicago. The breakfast burrito with vegan chorizo was delicious, especially with their green salsa. The BLT was simple but good. The tater tots were absolutely amazing, perfectly crispy and soft inside addictive. The Horchata was honestly the best I've ever had. And don't forget the guava coconut and strawberry cookies -- they were so tasty and the perfect sweet ending. Everything tasted super fresh and well-made. Place has an awesome vibe and quick service! I'll absolutely be back, and it's an excellent spot for delivery too.

Great packaging!

This food was so good that I ate on it all day! I ordered the Scrambled Egg Sandwich with sausage and tater tots. First, the packaging was GREAT! A lot of times, food delivery comes just wrapped in paper and thrown in a plastic bag. Not this food, though. The sandwich was STACKED with scrambled eggs. They were fluffy, creamy, and well-seasoned. The cheddar cheese literally covered every inch of the eggs, so I was able to get everything all in 1 bite. And what a delicious bite it was, especially on the buttery, toasted bun. The tater tots were also well-seasoned, and the Sriracha mayo gave them the right amount of kick. I WILL be a repeat customer! #ImNotAFoodie #ImJustAGirlWhoLovesFood #YelpEliteSquad

Definitely recommend, came in because where we had intended on going was super packed, so next time... Wasn't sure what to expect, but was hidden in plain sight. Inside of Mi Tierra for those wondering. I had the Ahuevo sandwich with some really fluffy eggs, so good. Had their house green salsa and was very good. The puffy taters are a must! Had the Jamaica and was pleasantly surprised, wasn't overly sweet. It was not crowded but plenty of people were having breakfast. Was able to talk without talking too loud or having to overhear other's conversations lol. Noticed so many carry out orders for pickup while we there. Will have to go back and try something new.

If you're on the hunt for the best breakfast sandwich in Chicago, Ahuevo is the spot! It's located inside/next to Mi Tierra restaurant, which might be a little confusing at first, but just look for the canopy entrance on the main street, and you'll find it. Ordered pick up, so no interior photos, maybe next time. Parking Situation: There's a parking lot available, but it was pretty full when I went. Luckily, I still found a spot. Street parking is also an option--it's a busy area, but nothing too stressful when it comes to finding a space. The Food: Let's talk about this breakfast sandwich. WOW. The egg was fresh and cooked softly to perfection, the turkey sausage was juicy and tender, and the brioche bun was absolutely delicious. The sauce ties it all together in the best way--it's honestly one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Added avocado to mine, que rico! You have to get the puffy tots! They're light, crispy, and perfectly soft on the inside. Pair them with the chipotle sauce, and it's game over. That sauce is packed with flavor--10/10 for sure. Overall Experience: Ahuevo is a hidden gem that serves up breakfast perfection. The flavors, the quality, and the vibe are unmatched. I love this place and can't wait to go back! Pro Tip: Don't be discouraged if the parking lot looks busy--there are usually spots, and it's worth the effort to get here.

Puffy tots with egg.
Reece R.

I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is made fresh to order so wait times are longer than expected but no biggie, you are heavily rewarded once the food comes out. We also had the pleasure of meeting Lazaro the owner, great guy. We wish you much success my friend!!

The iced vanilla latte I had was really good! The actual food was hit or miss at our table, but I enjoyed my veggie skillet and eggs.

Within the old Gate area of Chicago Chinatown on Wentworth sit two Chinese (Cantonese) bakeries…read more Chiu Quon was by far the more popular of the two. It is newer and sharper looking. Staff spoke English well. Customers included many westerners as well as the expected Asians. Chiu Quon is cash only, same as Feida across the street. I was generally quite excited about what I might find here. The name Chiu Quon 超群 is a 50+ years old bakery in Hong Kong (English name Maria's bakery). I was wondering if it had any association. Alas, no. Be that as it may, this Chiu Quon is a 1986 institution in Chicago Chinatown. So, they deserve their own applause. I was on a mission per a friend's request to find 'chicken little cookies' 雞仔餅 or as CQ calls it, Phoenix Cookies. That was the first thing I bought. Alas, my friend reported they are oddly sweet instead of savory. Well, each has their own family recipes. I did side by side comparisons with Feida. The CQ pastries are a bit more refined, prettier, a reasonable filling to crust ratio, but also smaller, less filled, and $0.25 more. Items we bought: - Wife pastry 老婆饼, filled with wintermelon filling (no chunks) - Red bean pastry 豆沙酥, a smaller flat round type - Crystal gel pastry 香蕉糕. This old school soft steamed glutinous rice mochi roll is now commonly vanilla flavor. Theirs have a bit of red bean inside. Their version was quite sweet. - Red bean filled pastry bar with walnuts. We liked this item the most. Plump, well filled with red bean, the walnut has a balance to the sweetness, minimum crust. We bought more to bring home. All items were around $2.50. I honestly like both bakeries and wish we have lower cost options at home.

We came here for a quick breakfast and were satisfied with what we got. There was a bit of a line…read moreinside, but it moved quickly. We got a few buns and pastries, then ate them inside at the standing counter they had along the window by the front door. This did feel very mych like a grab and go spot, but it was raining so we stayed a bit longer. Food was nice and tasted correct. Prices seemed fair, and the space was clean - felt like your typical Chinese bakery. Overall, we left feeling full with our choices and it was a nice experience. Thanks, Chiu Quon!

Recommendations: Breakfast Meal…read moreBBQ Pork Bun Pineapple Milk Custard Bun We went to st. Anna for breakfast on Labour Day morning. We ordered the breakfast meal sets, which came with two mini pineapple buns and spam macaroni. We also ordered a breakfast plate with scrambled eggs and fried spam. The breakfast meals come with hot drinks and are only around $9, which is a great value. There are only 5 tables for dine in, first come first serve! The bakery also offers a variety of freshly made pastries and buns. Our favorites were the BBQ pork bun and the pineapple milk custard bun. Both were flavorful and fresh. It is a great spot for an affordable breakfast and some fresh bakery items.

Saint Anna is a traditional Hong Kong-style bakery and café offering authentic, high-quality…read moreproducts at very reasonable prices. Before the pandemic, we used to visit every weekend. Our family and extended family often ordered birthday cakes from them, and their mango cake was our favorite. When mangoes were in season, they used plenty of fresh mango in the cakes. Their cakes are always fresh, light, fluffy, and not too sweet. My daughter and I also love their individual cakes, especially the Black Pearl and Walnut Cake. Their pineapple buns and egg tarts are her favorites as well. Saint Anna has also been part of our daughter's childhood. When she was little, my husband used to bring her here before or after Chinese school in Chinatown on Sundays. Her go-to breakfast items were the Butter Bun, Ham and Macaroni in Soup, and Diced Ham and Corn in Cream Rice. As she got older, Curry Chicken with Potato became her favorite. She especially loved the potato cubes soaked in the delicious, mild curry sauce. She would always ask for more potatoes and less chicken, haha! Saint Anna is a family-run business, and Sara and Irene, the daughters-in-law, used to take care of the front of house. They were always so friendly and accommodating. After a 6-year hiatus, we finally returned one Friday recently when we happened to be in the area with a friend. Sara is now a co-owner, and it was wonderful to see her again. She immediately recognized us and was so warm and welcoming. She even asked me to relay her greetings to my sisters when she greeted us and again when we were leaving. Those little gestures made our return feel especially meaningful. We were still full from a big dim sum lunch, so my daughter picked up 2 Mini Pineapple Buns and 2 Paper-Wrapped Sponge Cakes, while I got a Red Bean Roll. Everything was fresh, soft, and delicious, and the total came to just under $8, really a great value. Our friend also purchased 2 Fried Sticky Rice Dumplings with Chicken. I had never really paid attention to their limited dim sum selection before, so that was a nice discovery. We love Saint Anna and will definitely be back whenever we're in the area.
