Velvet Taco is always a flavor party, and this visit didn't disappoint. I had the salmon taco (so…read morefresh!), the Mexi shrimp taco with the perfect kick, plus the guac and an elite dip and everything was seriously so delicious. The salmon taco was light but still super satisfying, and the Mexi shrimp taco was loaded with flavor without being overwhelming. The guac was creamy and fresh, and the chips were perfectly crisp. But the loaded dip?? SO good. Rich, flavorful, and one of those things you keep picking at even when you're already full. The inside is pretty casual and just okay, nothing too special, but since the weather was nice, the outdoor seating made the experience way better. I will say, other Velvet Taco locations I've been to have better seating overall. There's also paid parking right outside, which is convenient but something to keep in mind. Overall, really solid spot for flavorful tacos and a fun, quick bite. I'd definitely come back. Service was also super friendly!

My boyfriend and I were in Pilsen and hungry, and I'd had Pocho's bookmarked for brunch for a…read morewhile. The vibe inside is cute and classic brunch vibes. We got a chilaquiles and chorizo benedict. I thought the chilaquiles were good and very comfort food. The chorizo benedict was more solid, my boyfriend said he wished he'd gotten a chorizo omelette instead. I did agree that it felt like the flavors didn't gel together as well / the chorizo was more masked. Overall this is a nice breakfast place but I feel with most breakfast places (including this one), it's good food you could make at home for less money. But if you don't feel like cooking/want to eat out, def a cute spot.

We were sat right away and our server, Nayeli N brought us menus and water. Everything looked absolutely delicious and I ordered a French 75 right away lol! Which also happened to be the suggested drink. It was DELICIOUS! I ordered a short stack of buttermilk pancakes with two eggs over easy and a cup of fruit. My friend ordered the spicy birria chilaquiles. I'm a simpleton when it comes to my pancakes. Butter and syrup. I feel like you can really taste the pancake better with just those two toppings. My eggs were perfectly cooked and I greatly appreciated that the fruit was fresh. Even more that there were apples in there as well. The chilaquiles were well seasoned and the avocado and creama balanced out the saltiness and smokiness of the beef and the eggs softly scrambled were the cherry on top. We enjoyed our time so much. I felt like we were semi leisurely this morning and didn't feel like we were being rushed to leave. Our server was super chill and courteous . She was nice and checked on us appropriately. Everything was sooo good and the music mix that was playing was a solid 10/10. Our total with tip was 77.34. Thank you so much and see you again soon'

First, I really appreciate how well packaged everything was. Second, it arrived in perfect and steaming hot condition . Thirdly, the portion was actually insane . I stg 5 bites in I gave it up lol. To be fair I'm not the biggest eater but I loooove a good meal and this was just that! Also please don't be fooled by the angle of the fries, i had already eaten some and i assure you it was full to the top. I ordered the smash burger and added caramelized onions and bacon because bacon . I also fries with a side of cheese sauce(gotta have it ) the first bite almost 100% healed me. This thing was HEAVY ! I appreciate when I can taste the freshness of ingredients . The cheese was a stand alone star all by itself . I know I say this allll the time but it's true. It's my first experience but it will not be my last. My total was 25.28 before tip and 39.26 after. Thanks so much guys and keep up the great work and consistency!

It was soft but had a thick outer layer. Slightly crispy but chewy. The filling itself was great the garlic sauce inside really shined. Put everything together and it was delicious and magnificent! The plate came with rice mixture. The sandwich was really filling. Inside there was a few tables to sit, you grab a number when you order and staff brings it out to you. 100% recommend coming here to try it out. Wish there was more Puerto Rican food around me.

The pasta was tasty and a nice serving. The salad comes with Italian dressing, which was ok. I wish more dressing was available but I guess you can always ask for more. The bread was a slice of focaccia. They have plenty of seats available inside to dine in. Try to avoid the noon lunch hour rush as they get pretty busy. I try to go around 11:30 or 12:30 and get my food in less than 10 minutes.

I love their turkey and Swiss sub. The mustard they use is a great touch. The 6inch has to be larger than they say because it's hearty! It's a very long restaurant that has seating along the wall so that you can eat quickly and get out without being around the counter space. It's lively and quick and there's already some great music in the background. I live coming here for lunch and supporting a small business. Their subs beat those chains!

I've been wanting to try Frida Room and had a weekday brunch. There was plenty of seating and the…read morevibe was chill, so we chose a window seat that opened up to 18th Street. The decor had fun Frida-themed artwork, including skateboard decks. Service was polite and attentive, overall solid. Food-wise, the menu looked incredible and it was hard for my wife and I to just choose one dish. We landed on chilaquiles and a chivito sandwich, the menu itself would bring us back. The presentation of the food was really nice, but we found the taste/quality to be uneven. The sauces that were brought out in little plastic cups were tasty, as well as the chilaquiles. However, the sandwich seemed a little bland. How is that possible with steak, ham, bacon, egg, and Chipotle mayo? Not sure. Also the portions seemed a little dainty for the price. I think if the food was tastier, the price wouldn't sting so much. There's a balance between quality, cost, and quantity, and it's the cost that was a bit high. I'm still interested in trying other dishes though.
