CHICKEN WAFFLES
Paul S.

The food was so good we ended up going twice. The first time I had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was fried and seasoned perfectly. The second time I had the chorizo hash. The service was fast and friendly. On top of that the restaurant was very clean and comfortable. I'd love to go back!

HOUSE HASH SINGLE PANCAKE
Erica B.

Such a cute little place! Went around 11:30 on a Sunday and surprisingly no wait! It was a mix or diner and converted bar vibes. Both meals we split were delicious. The aioli on the hash and the runny egg were so good. The corn was a welcome addition to a hash, too. The burrito was massive with a yummy sauce and a good amount of avocado which some places skimp on. The side fruit was a good mix and the side pancake was fluffy and yummy. If I had to pick I would say the burrito was my favorite but it was a close one!

Da Waffles  Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
Tahir N.

We came here early on a Sunday morning just before it started to fill up. We were fortunate to be seated at a table in the back. Warm sunshine was pouring in The breakfast menu is extensive so it took me a little time to decide what to order. We had black coffee and it is very good My friend ordered waffles, which I generally don't consider a good value, but he loves waffles and doesn't make them at home At our age we're allowed to make such choices While I considered ordering the huevos rancheros in the end, I ordered two eggs, scrambled, with bacon and the tomatoes on sourdough toast. Four strips of bacon, and it was pretty good bacon. I like thick sliced Costco brand but boars head is also good. My eggs were nice and fluffy without being runny In an English breakfast with tomato and beans the tomato is usually a Roma tomato that has been sliced in half and grilled or placed under the broiler to char and soften it. I was expecting something like that for my tomatoes and toast, but that's not what it was. I was a little disappointed to see the tomatoes did not come on the toast and they were raw. Not that there's anything wrong with that but you know now why I was expecting what I was expecting. And I do think if you're going to say tomatoes and toast then you should put the tomatoes on the toast or beside them and I respectfully suggest that they be grilled or otherwise warmed to complement the warm toast. My two cents. I have been here a few times before when I visit my friend, so it won't stop me coming again It's a nice space albeit a little tight. I prefer sitting in the back room. But try to sit at a table by the window when getting some sunlight on a cold winter day outside.

Hash with barely any chorizo
NiNi F.

This place comes off as a nice neighborhood breakfast establishment. The restaurant is kind of small, so tables are close together. When my friend and I first entered close.to the time they opened all the workers just stared at us as we waited to be seated. One young lady finally came over to sit us with a not so friendly look. I said hi, perhaps she didn't hear me but she didn't respond. On a brighter note they do sell alcohol in the morning! My friend asked for bananas on her pancake and she personally felt they could've put an entire banana on it. I had the chorizo hash and although the flavor was there the dish itself barely had any chorizo in it. I had to ask for extra to add to it and when I received the extra it was not hot.

Everything was great my wife and I stopped by for brunch. I had the salmon cake Benedict my wife had chillequillas. Both were amazing second time here second time everything was amazing.. service is always great.

Syrup for pancakes
Staci S.

My friend and I came during lunch and it was packed. You wait to be seated, but it was pretty quick. The tables have a QR code for the menu stuck on them although they have physical menus at the tables to list their weekly specials. Note that it is stated on the physical menu that there is a 3% credit surcharge. If you ask to remove it, then you need to pay instead with cash or debit card. We ordered the house signature, Supreme Chorizo Hash with a buttermilk pancake, and the weekly special, Dieguito's Benedict with roasted potatoes. The hash was super yummy, well seasoned, and filling. All the flavors worked well together. The pancake was good and also very fluffy as advertised on their menu. Dieguito's Benedict with roasted potatoes was good. For some reason the Benedict sandwich itself reminded me of the taste of a McChicken from McDonalds. Make no mistake that that this place is operating on a different level from them! They have a bathroom for customers in the back and the interior decor is quirky, but cute. Not sure how Thor fits in, but I approve! I believe they drew representations of the staff to surround Thor on the chalkboard decor. There is a decent amount of seating available and you don't feel super packed in. The entrance is on the corner of the intersection. Overall, this is a cute spot with good food. I wouldn't minds coming back to visit again if I'm in the area.

VEGAN CHORIZO
Melissa M.

HOLY COW!!!! AMAZING! I have never had such a delicious vegan meal. This place is top notch for vegans! Chefs kiss! I can't rent enough about this dish! Upon arrival we were seated quickly and service was instant! No waiting! The setting isn't really trendy or hip, it's just like a regular breakfast spot, but who care the food is amazing! Love love love. I will come back in the future!

Chilaqiiles
Noah L.

Really quite delicious but simple brunch. We liked everything we had here from the French toast to the chilaqiiles. Well, in particular the chilaqiiles. Good simple diner vibe and good service. The coffee was basic diner coffee, not bad at all but that could have been a bit better. Prices were reasonable but this isn't a cheap place. Overall will be back if I'm near one!

CHILAQUILES
Katie K.

The Chilaquiles were fantastic and the serving was massive. The service was quick and friendly.

Taylor O.

Our server, Santiago, was charming and attentive. We came on a rainy Saturday and were sat immediately. We got the recommended chilaquiles and corn hash. The chilaquiles had an amazing red sauce, and the fresh corn in the hash really brought out the fresh flavors. The decor was very kitschy-cute, and they have little illustrations of all their employees on the wall. GLUTEN FREE: Secret gf pancake

Intelligentsia Coffee
Lindsay L.

Really fast service! Very nice staff too. It is really busy and hectic in here on the weekends but they get you in and out quick! The food was mostly Mexican influenced which was really good, a little pricey for some breakfast items but expected in Chicago. It has a homey diner feel.

Passion Fruit Margarita
Sabrina G.

My group of friends and I decided to stop by on a busy Saturday afternoon, nervous about walking in, we were surprisingly seated in less than 10 minutes. I ordered a BLT Benedict and potatoes were cooked to perfection. I also got to taste the fluffy buttermilk pancakes and they were so good! Reminded me of grandmas cooking. Another plus is that they also have steak and margaritas! My friends steak was cooked to a beautiful medium rare, just looking at it, my mouth started to drool! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to grab a bite with friends. Just know that they can get really busy & you might have a possible wait. Cozy home feeling inside, but can get a bit loud once the tables get packed.

Chirizo hashbrowns

Food: We got the chorizo hashbrowns and chilaquiles which were both delicious. The guacamole was fresh clean and had just the right amount of seasoning. Chilaquiles had an amazing sauce on top of it with sour cream, although I prefer my chips, more crispy, this dish requires them to be a little soggy. Hasbrowns were more like finally chopped cute potatoes rather than your typical shredded potato flats, but it was crispy with a soft touch. The potatoes absorb the juices from the chirizo, which added a really nice touch. Service: the service was rather quick, and they made sure that our waters would constantly filled. Ambiance: it's a family standard restaurant filled with Latin culture and influences. Location accommodation: they do not have reservations so if you're walking in on a weekend, you might have to wait about 20 minutes for a table. The parking is on the street, but it's somewhat relatively easy to find.

Ask the Community - Breakfast House

What's parking like?

I parked on the street really close to the restaurant, with no problem. It was also free, not metered parking.

Do they have bottomless mimosas?

No but they do have multiple flavors including mango and passion fruit!

Yelp is suggesting this is a BYOB? Can you express in your yelp page that you're not a BYOB restaurant please. I would have hate to come and be told I can't bring my wine.

No. This is not BYOB. They have a full bar.

Is it BYOB? I've been to the other location and it was.

It is NOT BYOB. Tried to bring some champagne in 2 weeks ago and they were a bit hesitant but still let me bring it in. They have their liquor license so you shouldn't BYOB.

One thing I didn't love: my cappuccino was served in a Styrofoam cup while we were staying there. If you're drinking in, it really should come on a ceramic cup and saucer. Save the Styrofoam for takeout! The best part was that we stayed for a couple of hours and no one hovered over us, or made us feel like we had to leave. As for the coffee itself, it was just okay. Not bad, but not memorable either. That's a shame too, because the space is so comfy. Still, there are plenty of other coffee spots on the North Side - and this just gives me a reason to explore others in the neighborhood.

It's creamy, sweet but not too sweet, and overall a great flavor profile. It seems like a great place to study or work as well. You can often find many people working diligently (and relatively quietly) so the ambiance is great. I don't often write such low of a review but the one star is for the staff. On most occasions I've only encountered the friendliest of people - in fact the first time I visited and had a hard time choosing a drink, the individual at the register was so kind and helped me make a choice based on what I typically enjoy at other coffee shops. However today I had the absolute WORST experience where the barista was so rude to me after they took my order wrong. All I wanted was the coffee I ordered and calmly explained how there must have been a mix up. In return I was basically shamed multiple times for asking for the right coffee instead of the one they tried to give me and I was just baffled by how passive aggressive the staff member was. My family and I will not be returning to this location again. Go for the coffee and the vibes but just be extra careful to triple check your order is taken correctly at the register.
