    So so so good is all I can say! The service was wonderful and the food has me absolutely wanting to go back. Also please don't miss out on the cocktails, I had one of the best old fashioned cocktails here along with a mango cocktail! I can't wait to go back and I absolutely will be checking out their amazing daily specials!

    Crispy Rooster Sandwich
    Allegra A.

    Came here for an impromptu lunch/brunch on a snowy Sunday around 1pm. They were able to accommodate our group of 5. Service was friendly but not overbearing. Food was flavorful and delicious! I got the crispy rooster sandwich which was reasonably priced and good portion size. The rest of my group also enjoyed their meal. Next time I need to try the short rib skillet because that looked amazing!!

    Valencia Style Paella
    Wajhi K.

    Stopped by Dell' Rooster for restaurant week, what a nice and a friendly place. Nothing over the top, had the Valencia style Paella which was amazing and right up my alley. Tomatoey and oniony, soupy finish with all the great saffron paella smells and flavors. The shirt rib was a little overcooked (but seems to be a fan favorite) and the drink menu and drinks were nothing special so it's not a full dinner experience but I would come here and stuff my face on a Tuesday night with no remorse.

    Rabos encendidos - so good!
    Jenna C.

    Drawn to their unique menu, my friend and I ventured here for Sunday brunch. We had made a reservation, but it was surprisingly unnecessary - plenty of open tables. They have indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice but it's basically a bar so ambiance was lacking. Food was great - we started with the rabos encendidos and don't sleep on this - the perfect combination, packed with flavor! I also got the papas con chorizo, which was very tasty. For drinks, they have a full bar but not espresso offerings so we just hopped over to a nearby coffeeshop after our meal. Service was ok, a little slow but we weren't in a hurry so no big deal. For half a starter, OJ, and a main, I think my bill was ~$30. If you're interested in brunch fare with a Latin American twist, Dell' Rooster is worth checking out.

    Guanatos Style Torta Ahogada
    Madeleine A.

    Came to this spot for Saturday brunch (around 11am) with no reservation and was able to be sat within 10min. From the name to interior design, the spot was very Latin. The spot was spacious and the restaurant was filled with customers but not hectic. Not pictured but we shared an oxtail plantain appetizer that was savory with a hint of sweetness and definitely worth trying. I would have it as a main dish tbh. Our main entrees were the torta and chilaquiles. They had similar color make up as the oxtail dish since they were all red sauce base. Both rich in flavor and heavy in meal. I am new to chilaquiles but the tortilla chips were not soggy and had a nice crisp for me to enjoy the entire plate. Both my boyfriend and I stayed full the rest of the day with how hearty this meal was. Definitely a spot worth a try, for the flavors, decent price, & hearty meal.

    Went to Dell Rooster for an early dinner. Service was great... friendly and fast. The bar area is rather small and not conducive to sitting there, so if you're a bar person plan to sit at a table. Food and cocktails were excellent. Note that at the time the cocktail menu on their web site didn't match the menu in the restaurant. The drink I wanted was not on the menu but she made it for me anyway. Thanks!! My paella was really tasty and super moist. And so filling. My wife loved her short rib. We will definitely come back again.

    Rabo Encendido
    Andre W.

    Stopped in for brunch on a recent Sunday as a good friend suggested we check it out as we like to try spots we havent checked out. Small mom and pop joint which is usually preferred and I believe its classified as latin fusion cuisine. Decor looks very much like you're in a latin food spot. They make a good mezcal old fashioned here, but I very much enjoyed the mango rico which is mango infused rum, lime juice, and mango puree. Sounds sweet as hell but not too sweet. All the apps/first bites looked great but we had to start with the Rabo Encendido which is cuban style braised oxtail, pickled onions, chipotle aioli and queso fresco on top of plaintains...outstanding!!! Melts in ya damn mouth! I almost didnt wanna order anything else after eating that...woooo! I decided to go with the Rooster & Sons Enchiladas...was pretty good. My friend got the Papas Con Chorizo and it was very good! I would definitely come back here for brunch and would love to see what dinner is like.

    Short Rib Skillet
    Bruce M.

    We ended up here on a Saturday morning. There was no wait, and upon walking in, I liked the vibe of this place. The decor was like a kitschy breakfast place. I tried to order coffee, but they only had Café de Olla. I'm sure it is good, but I don't like sugar in my coffee. So, heads up, there is no regular or coffee variety. We started with warm stuffed dates. They were excellent. They came with this red sauce that really added to it. I had the short rib breakfast. It was good, but there could have been more meat. Unfortunately, there were too many peppers. My wife and I split our dishes. She had the Jabaritto, which was good but also lacked meat. My son had the chilequilles and had no complaints. We also split a side of sweet plantains with cheese. This is the first time I have had them with cheese, and they were terrific. Our server was attentive. In all, the flavor was good, but for the price, I expect more protein.

    Short Rib Barbacoa
    Denise M.

    This place is a hidden gem! Delicious food for starters. The short rib fell apart beautifully. The dates were so yummy. The staff were super friendly and efficient. We made a reservation for dinner before a concert at United Center. This place is only 7 minutes away. So we had a really good dinner, great drinks and were able to easily hop out over to the concert. They have tables and booths available. We found street parking right outside the door. Can't recommend enough!

    Short Rib Skillet with overhard egg
    Joneice B.

    Ventured here for restaurant week. Restaurant has been on my radar for a while. We were lured by the menu as who doesn't enjoy short rib. For brunch we ordered sangria, fig appetizer, papas bravas, chicken/waffles and short rib skillet. The brunch choices were good. Husband finished his whole plate, I took some leftover home and put on a corn tortilla next morning. We also got to sample dessert with restaurant week. Both items were enjoyable. The restaurant itself is cozy and all staff were friendly. I think they would do well adding one more server during busy times as they were stretched tight at times.

    Papas Bravas
    Kelly R.

    My two friends and I decided to try this year's Chicago Restaurant Week's $30 Brunch menu. We all ordered the papas bravas, the short rib skillet, and the chocolate Abuelita tres leches cake. Everything was delicious, and the portion sizes were very generous, making the brunch menu well worth the $30. The servers did a great job of being accommodating while still giving us enough privacy to catch up. The restaurant was really chill, so it was perfect for us. Our only feedback is to use less star anise in the café de olla and to add more piloncillo. The piñata drink was good though! All in all, we would come back to try other items on the menu. We really need to figure out how to make the chocolate Abuelita ganache that was on the tres leches cake - It was that good!

    Oxtail on plantain, coconut shrimp
    Ahmed H.

    This was my second time trying Dell Rooster and this place still holds up! Originally I came for dinner but this time I tried their slightly different brunch menu. I think that I confidently say that this is one of my top 3 restaurants of ALL TIME. The coconut shrimp and oxtail plantain starters could've been standalone plates. I got the French toast which is a variation of their cornbread dressed up with pineapple, blueberry compote and cream. Delicious! Very family oriented spot with sweet staff.

    kids meal
    Sandy A.

    My friends and I decided on this restaurant since another one had a very long line. We stumbled upon and the food was really good and made our tummies happy. I got the kids meal and it was light and fresh! The waffle was good and cornbread was tasty! The restaurant is definitely grungier than I thought but that didn't deter us to eat there. It felt hole in the wall and the service was fast! S

I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

    Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.

Why would you not order a flight to try a variety of drinks all at once? We had the hibiscus lemonade and matcha flight, the mango con crema and banana con crema were the standouts.

They also offer brunch food items which we did not get to try. But overall cute shop with a variety of speciality drinks that I will definitely try in the future.

    Stockyard Coffee House in Chicago, Illinois. Overall, I really liked it. The only small downside…read morewas that it felt a bit warm inside, probably because it was already a hot day outside. The staff--at least the person who helped me--didn't feel super welcoming. Not that they were rude, just not particularly warm either. I get it though, because even I get a little irritable when it's hot, so maybe that played a part. What I love the most is that it's Latina-owned, and that's something I truly admire. I always try to support Latino entrepreneurs when they're doing things right, and this place is definitely doing something creative. We ordered two flights--one with coffee and one with matcha. Each flight comes with four small samples, and they were all seasonal fall flavors, which I thought was such a fun and unique idea. It's cool because you get to try different drinks in little cups, almost like a tasting experience. The coffee flight (we got it iced) was amazing--the flavors were bold and had that strong coffee taste I personally love. The matcha flight was also fun, but I would have preferred a stronger matcha flavor in some of them. They also have plenty of milk options--we ordered ours with oat milk and it was delicious. On top of that, they have a pretty wide food menu with bagels, sandwiches, wraps, and more. We tried the tuna sandwich and it was really good, definitely worth recommending. The café has little chairs outside, the vibe inside is cozy, and I loved that they were playing Spanish music. That's something you don't usually find in most coffee shops here, and it gave the place extra personality. The only thing I'm still unsure about is the price. For two flights (coffee + matcha) and the sandwich, the total was around $55. Maybe that's a bit expensive--or maybe it's just the nature of ordering flights, since I had never tried that before. Either way, it was worth it for the experience and the flavors. In short, it's a cute, cozy, and creative spot that's definitely worth checking out--especially if you're into seasonal flavors, want to try something unique, and love supporting Latina-owned businesses in Chicago.
