    Chicken Chipotle Panini

    This place is special. Great selections of breakfast food and lunch meals. I am so happy to have found this restaurant. You order at the register, they serve you a beautiful meal that is very affordable, they take the dishes and clean up. This place is clean, safe, inexpensive and delicious.

    I recently went to avocado express for lunch. I ordered to go. I called ahead of time and was told 10 mins. By time I arrived, my food was ready. I order the Spicy bacon chicken ranch wrap (no bacon) with fruit. The wrap was so good and the fruit was fresh. The food was packaged nicely and the service was fast. Inside the restaurant is small, maybe enough to sit 6-7 small groups. The parking lot is small in the front but there is an overflow in the back of the restaurant. I enjoyed my meal and will definitely be back.

    On our way to Six Flags, we stopped here to have a quick breakfast. Being a Saturday morning, the place was VERY busy. However, the staff worked great together and our food came fairly promptly. The food was very good and was presented in a decent portion. It was ALMOST too much considering we were on our way to be jolted around a roller coaster park but turned out perfectly. Great food, great service, and decent prices

    Chilaquiles Gluten Free Breakfast verdes

    We picked up breakfast here last week and Oh my God, it was so yummy! I got the Avocado Benedicts which was fantastic! I know, Benedicts to go is not like a great idea, but these ones were incredible. Those came perfectly on point with the avocado and that delicious hollandaise sauce on the bottom of the English Muffin! My husband got the chilaquiles verdes. Those were delicious too! Perfectly seasoned and comfortably hot! On top of everything, the prices are GREAT! and everything was ready within 10 minutes. I loved it. We are looking forward to dine in!

    Torta De Asada with a Fruit Cup
    Andy B.

    Excellent Torta de Asada! This place doesn't disappoint; I got that along with a side of fruit. Service was terrific, and they were accommodating to some minor adjustments to my order and were ready at suitable timing. What I will dock off from a star was a lack of fruit than what I would've gotten, at least in my opinion, if I had ordered fries instead. Another thing I wish that I may change is to toast the bread. The soggy texture doesn't live up to the entirety of the dish as the toppings were delicious, but it made the whole meal too soft for my tastes. Overall, you can't go wrong with a good steak, tomato, onions, lettuce, cheese, jalapeños, and indeed- avocados! Aside from the minor flaws, I may return and certainly recommend Avocado Express to anyone in the area!

    This place may not look like much on the outside but they sure do know how to cook. Their chilaquiles Verde is to die for. The best I've had in quite awhile. They have delicious horchata too. This places does get packed occasionally but they do a great job moving service along. It opens early and closes early so if you go be mindful of that. It's a breakfast and lunch spot. And if you go on the weekend expect there to be a wait. Great taste for great prices. But note when they are packed they dont really pay attention to your order if you make changes. I'll be back to try more on their menu.

    Chicken, avocado panini sandwich.

    Delicious chicken, avocado panini...you get a choice of side. I chose the fruit. The sandwich was so filling...you really could eat just half and take the rest home for another meal.

    Avocado Eggs Benedict

    A line practically out the door when we arrived at 10 am on a Sunday. Almost worth it. I say almost because I'm still in search of the perfect California breakfast burrito...in Illinois and I almost found it. I say almost because they had a breakfast burrito- eggs, cheese, bacon but they labeled it a "wrap" and you had your choice of either flour or wheat... probably to appease their white clientele. And they had hasbrowns...the shredded potato kind which they would have gladly added to my wrap but as a side. AS A SIDE. Not in the burrito a la California style but on the side. When I questioned the manager, he said they couldn't do it because the wrap would break. Woe. Is. Me. But overall, a great place for breakfast not too far from the Naval Base where my husband ran a 10K this morning at the ungodly hour of 7 am. Which meant we had to leave Chicago at 5:15 am. The other breakfast item we got which was definitely worth it was the avocado eggs benedict with a side of the hashbrowns. Freaking delicious. And amazingly priced at $7. Our total breakfast was $18 with tip. Plenty of parking in the back. Not too much seating but even with the line out the door, traffic moved rather quickly. Would definitely come back.

    Well this place has good service as well for food. The pricing is ok not bad at all I paid 7.65 for chilaquiles and a drink. But they have way more other options in the menu. The place is clean overall and didn't do a bathroom review but expect it to be clean. Would come back again

    Turkey Avocado Bacon Panini
    Tina B.

    DELICIOUS food, large portions for a very reasonable price. Their panini's are huge, about the size of two regular sandwiches! I ended up sharing half of mine. My son had French toast and two eggs sunny side up, my husband got the Huevos Rancheros, and I ordered the Panini which came with hash browns. This all only came to around $25! If we lived in the area we would frequent this place.

    Chicken chipotle panino
    ALice A.

    Boyfriend took me here for our Sunday brunch. It's a cute little place located on Washington and Green Bay rd. The food is freshly made (open kitchen) so it can take a while if there's a lot of people. I got the avocado chicken sandwich. It was pretty good. If you're like me and don't like the meat overly salty, then you won't be disappointed in this sandwich. I like how they have the chipotle mayo on the side for you as well. The mayo is a tiny bit spicy which I don't like. I'm assuming they fry everything in that fryer, that's why their fries have that tortilla after taste lol. The corn tortilla taste doesn't really bother me but would prefer fries to taste like fries. The chicken chipotle panini isn't bad either! If you like that light spiciness on your sandwich, this one is for you! And who doesn't like bacon on their sandwich?! :) I notice their soft drink is kinda pricey. Especially for the size. I would return and try their breakfast next time. Looks delicious.

    Chicken Pesto Panini: $5.49 with choice of fruit or fries.

Came on a Thursday after lunch and it wasn't too busy. Ordered the Tocilog - which is sweet pork with a side of garlic fried rice, and an egg cooked any way you like. Also came with a side of noodles (pancit). Since I was here, decided to order some calamansi wings to go. And of course an ube milk tea. I really enjoyed my meal. The Tocino was a little different from what I'm used to. I'm used to a slab of pork pan fried with the fat fried to a slight crunch lol. I'm also used to tocino being red in color. I guess the tocino here is a little more leaner and no artificial colors - which works for me as I'm kinda allergic to red dye. But it tasted good, very flavorful. Loved the garlic rice as well. Pancit noodles were okay - could have used a little more seasoning but I could dig it Calamansi wings were low key fire. The crisp of the wings were perfection and the meat was not tough - still nice and juicy. I would get these again. They did have other flavors available that I need to come and try as well such as adobo and salt & pepper. Servers were nice and food came out pretty fast.

    We visited for tea with some adults and children this weekend…read more The room near the patio is gorgeous (the inner room is more on the cozy side). We were quickly seated with a reservation and the tables were lovely - gorgeous wedgewood china (even for the kids!). Greeted with prosecco for adults and sparkling juice for the kids. Service was really friendly and helpful with tea selections. There are about 4 options for children if they want tea as well. Food was good and there was a tower for the kids (their the older child at our table wanted the adult sandwiches...). Plenty of sandwiches and sweets. The scone actually was the standout though - orange cranberry - very soft and delicious. Customary lemon curd, jelly and cream - delicious. All in all, this was a nice, fancy time for tea but there were some negatives namely: no one ever asked if we wanted more drinks (I would have had a glass of champagne but no one returned or asked - I could have flagged someone down but was surprised at this level of hotel that service wasn't so helpful). We also felt rushed - I would have stayed longer to enjoy but get they were cleaning up our table quickly. Instead, we brought some of the treats to go. While the staff was friendly, they weren't really there a lot - I saw some tables get asked if they wanted more sandwiches - but we did not... and it wasn't because we had kids at the table because I'd say at the time we went, more than 50% of the tables had kids with them. We did get a nice little to go gift of tea, chocolate and a tea strainer. I'm conflicted upon returning just due to feeling rushed.... I always go for tea once a year at least and I've been to every fancy hotel in the city (and other restaurants) for tea and multiple hotels in Europe (Ireland, England) and this was the most European feeling but really felt less relaxed even though the surroundings were gorgeous.

The food was great - had a chopped salad and the ribeye and both were amazing. The service was a little hit or miss. Very spotty until we got our food and then it seemed like one side of the table was being ignored and that included our host. Overall a nice dinner, but unless we were invited again, I wouldn't necessarily go back.

Parking is fairly plentiful, though the entire shopping center is so busy you might not be able to park super close to the restaurant during normal meal hours. The decor is nice, with appropriate themes for a breakfast restaurant and the seating is comfortable. Service is not super fast, but not too slow for a spot that is this busy. The food is really the star here, in terms of the items offered and in the quality of ingredients, good textures, and design of the dishes. I was very pleased that every dish I tried was minimally very good, and flavorful. The burritofull morning sounds like a standard breakfast burrito, but the flat iron steak was spiced to perfection and tender. The mix of chorizo, roasted peppers, chipotle crema, and salsa verde were surprisingly not too salty and really helped to enhance the flavor of the steak. The crispy hash browns, onions, and chihuahua cheese helped to round out the remainder of this dish with some carbs and a bit of fat, resulting in a very enjoyable dish with nice crispy potatoes on the side. The chicken fried chicken skillet mixed a lot of flavorful elements without being too salty. The golden fried chicken is tender inside, with almost a crispy tempura style batter and is mixed with honey smoked bacon, sausage, and griddled country ham. The bell peppers, and onion add a nice sweetness and extra aroma to the dish. This is topped off with a fairly light sausage gravy, cheddar, and jack cheeses. The potatoes matched well with the gravy, but also helped to absorb some of the fat from the meats. The overall combination was delicious and something I'd definitely order again. The banoffee pie pancakes were some of the best pancakes I've had in the last year. Light and super fluffy is not an understatement. Topped with bananas and lots of chocolate chips and chocolate curls, this is intense without being overly sweet or indulgent. The toffee sauce lightly blends in with the other ingredients and the graham cracker crumbles add a nice, almost banana pie feel to the dish. Highly recommended as a very balanced and delicious option. The corned beef hash and eggs may have been one of the best dishes to show off pure ingredient quality. This is house-made corned beef that is extremely tender and not too salty. A simple mix of green peppers, red peppers, and onions really allow the meat quality to shine without distraction, with crispy potatoes to add a bit of starch to the dish. The tres leches french toast was masterfully done, eggy, thick, with just the right level of firmness. The coconut flakes were an amazing combination with the milks, and cinnamon whipped cream, hazelnut syrup, and coconut cream elevated the flavors without making the entire dish too sweet. My only comment is that compared to other items on the menu, the serving of this felt a bit small for the price. The lil'bit of chicken fried is not your average chicken sandwich. This is quality throughout the entire dish from the buttered brioche down to the perfectly cooked chicken. The biggest surprise for me is the pickles, which have the perfect texture and level of acid. This goes great with the sweet potato fries which are lightly crisp and quite flavorful. Overall, this place gets busy and the prices are a bit higher than other competitors in the area. But the quality of the cooking here makes it worth the wait.

First off, they give you a free biscuit on Tuesdays, so leave room for that. I ordered the griddled ham and cheese crepe, and it's one of the most delicious breakfast items I think I've ever had.

I finished one and took the other one home-it heated up really nicely. I also ordered the apple/gouda chicken sausage. The flavor was good, though a tiny bit on the dry side (which tends to happen with chicken sausage). I ordered the cookie butter latte as well, delicious and not too sweet. Service was good, even though they were pretty busy when they were there. Prices are good too, especially for how much food you get. One note: they don't take reservations, so be prepared for a wait, especially on the weekends.
