Just went to place an order for takeout. The price to the amount of food is too high, Surprisingly in the area it's located the food wasn't seasoned. Potatoes were double fried and old like fifo wasn't applied, and the wait was double of the time of what I was told. Would probably just cook at home next time. The meal was not worth the convenience read more

Loved this place. The vibe is incredible. The food is delicious. The fruit juices taste fresh. Be aware, the Chilaquiles were a bit spicy. I got the other special with chicken and it was perfect. Tortilla fried with cheese covered in beans with eggs and chicken. Highly recommend. Would love to go back for brunch. read more

Came into Pilsen Breakfast & Grill on Saturday afternoon for brunch. Unknowingly we arrived just moments before the Mexican Independence Day Parade was on their way through that block! Upon coming in we were greeted by a host and then immediately seated. It was a little after 12:00PM and we were a little surprised that there were only 2 other tables occupied aside from my boyfriend and I. We looked past that and we were looking forward to Brunch and an extra bonus of the Parade! It was our first visit and thought the timing was just perfect! Our waitress was really sweet. My boyfriend started off by ordering the Vanilla Iced Coffee which he loved - I tasted it and it was pretty good! I stuck with the water and one thing I should mention is that we were given cucumber water which was such a great touch! I loved it! My boyfriend ordered the Steak & Eggs with a side of Potatoes, I went with the Molletes Con Huevos. Since it wasn't busy we were fortunate to have not waited long for our order to come out. And while we waited we were able to catch the Parade coming through, it was perfect timing! The energy on the streets was such a great touch to our dining experience, Brunch & Entertainment - the perfect Saturday afternoon! Overall the food was good! My boyfriend really enjoyed his dish and it didn't take him long to finish. My plate was packed full of flavor! Normally I would have ordered an omelette and I'm pretty happy I stepped out of my norm! Everything tasted fresh and we were satisfied! I'm giving 3 stars only because Service was temporarily on hold while the parade was coming through. The atmosphere was as if they were closed. It was really hard getting any sort of attention: our water / coffee could've been refilled, could've used another napkin or two, and mid meal I would have loved a little attention. Parade or no parade, I still expect the same level of service on an average day. That being said, I definitely want to give this place another chance! I'm interested in seeing this place during a different hour and ordering from their non-breakfast menu! Stay tuned! read more

First and Last Time. Server took forever to get to our table. Long wait time for our food to come out. When it did it was cold. Mediocre in taste at best. Server never checked on us. I was really looking forward to eating here. If you want a really Authentic Mexican Breakfast there are so many other places I can think of in Pilsen. read more

This is a tale of one restaurant with a split personality. Personality #1 - We went in one Sunday, place was about 1/2 full. We received GREAT service and ate some good food. I had the veggie burger and fries - which was really good - I ate everything, including the fries. HE had an omelette which came with hashbrowns and pancakes - he also joined me in the clean plate club. Coffee was good - Intelligentsia. Our server was very attentive, as were the other people working that day. Personality #2 - We went in for lunch on a Wednesday, only 2 other tables seated. We were barely acknowledged, sat ourselves - server brought our menus - gets caught up trying to ring up 1 of the tables, we are still sitting there. She goes back and forth to the register, passing us each time - never says "I'll be right with you" "just a minute, I will bring you water in a bit" - NADA As a matter of fact, she acts like we are not there. Other people working there just look at us, then look away. One guy brings over a chorizo omelette and asks if it's ours. NO! We haven't ordered ANYTHING, I say out loud...server still doesn't say a word, come over to bring water or take our order. We walked out. So, will we ever return? No idea yet, right now I am too busy being upset. read more

It will be hard to return to Pilsen without stopping for Bistec a la Mexicana brunch plate. I honestly wasn't prepared mentally for the wam-bam! spicy deliciousness. Absolutely fantastic! Food: 5/5 - no kids menu but the side plates were accommodating Service: 5/5 - attentive, lovely Venue: 5/5 - small but spacious. Decor was cool read more

Never been more sick in my life , almost felt like I was poisoned. really don't know if it was food poisoning or something wow , went ealier today very early with a work friend. I got the Bisteca a La Mexicana . I'm a middle Age man and it had me in a coma state for 12-14 hours vomiting and bloated. I'm posting this as a warning to people bringing older parents etc , the restaurant really needs to investigate how and why I got so sick .posting as Public service announcemention read more

the manager Angle is unprofessional. I felt threatened and his approach was not ok. You basically lost clients Someone order a salad last week and forgot to cancel there order. HES REALLY UPSET ABOUT IT AND HAS OUR NAME AND NUMBER ON THE WALL LIKE AS IF WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME. I don't appreciate this at all. People make mistakes it's not that serious and for you to come at me like if I did it is just disrespectful. I wouldn't recommend anyone to come to this gentrified ass spot . read more

Friendly staff, nice calm place for brunch. Dissapointed because I came here to try the coffee infused pancakes and it turns out they don't make them anymore! :( I tried the steak skillet and my boyfriend the omelette. It's nothing special. Skillet wasn't even in a skillet. For me, it lacked flavor. But they have a really good cafe Azteca!! I would return only for a coffee date,. read more

I came here with some coworkers on a weekday for lunch. The service was friendly and efficient, which was great! I ordered the make your own omelette with ham, cheese, broccoli, and mushrooms. It came with a side of house potatoes and toast. The house potatoes were amazing--really crispy and delicious! They also had large portions, although it's a bit pricey for what it is. The only reason I'm giving 4/5 stars is because my omelette was oddly spicy. It's as if cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes were spilled in or something. I wasn't expecting a spicy omelette and didn't love it. If it was meant to be that way then I wish they would've advertised that. My friends however seemed to enjoy their food. read more

Frida Room is one of my favorite restaurants in Pilsen. The staff is very friendly, the decor is beautiful, the food is great, and the coffee is AMAZING. Seriously cannot recommend the coffee enough. My favorite was the cajeta latte, but the Azteca is also incredible, and the regular coffee is fantastic too! I stayed in Pilsen for 6 days and went to Frida Room 3x because of how much I loved it. Definitely go if you're in the area!! read more

Amazing breakfast and vibes. Usually get the enchiladas verde con huevos or the veggie skillet with pancakes and they are always great!

Very cute interior! The menu had a good mix of traditional breakfasts foods and Mexican breakfast items. I was in the mood for enchiladas so I went ahead and ordered some with a side of steak. The enchiladas were incredibly runny with the sauce not being thick at all. It did have a nice flavor though. The steak was deliciously flavored and thin. Overall it was a good meal however not the way I enjoy my enchiladas. I prefer a thicker sauce. read more

Definitely trendy and tasty but not nearly as good many of the restaurants in the area (and definitely more expensive). Food seems more Americanized than truly Mexican. Good for an Instagram pic but if you want really delicious Mexican food, I'd try other places in the neighborhood. read more

We tried this place out before the name changed to " Frida's Room" and were disappointed with the food and service. We decided to try it again and well, at least we tried. The service was awful. The host had us wait a while before sitting us down and there were only 3 tables seated, every other table completely empty. He walked around for a bit and then finally had us sit down. No good morning, no small talk. Just "sit here" It took honestly a good 15 minutes to get the server to take our order. It then took around 30 minutes to get our food. I got a completely different dish than I asked for but I ate it because I didn't want to have to wait another 30 mins for another plate. The food was bland and sad. The salsas however were tasty and spicy. When we were ready to pay, the server was hiding. The host came to clean up our plates and we asked him for the check. 5 minutes later, nothing. 10 minutes, nothing. Disappointing. read more

I at first was skeptical about this location because of the previous restaurant, and just because of the area, and how things are changing drastically; but my first thought was cancelled when I ate here. The food is great, the service is awesome, and when you actually ask for the waitresses recommendation, they give you their honest opinion on the dishes, and don't automatically recommend the most expensive thing on the menu. Great food, for such a good price also. read more

cold chilaquiles actitud from the server take about 10 minutes to refill my coffee i have to ask 3 times x cream weird huevos rancheros serve over a tostada and dry fry potaoes and they give you cupon so you come back again frida room to much frida decor but they don't serve cafe de olla mmmmmmmm read more

This review is based solely on there service and or lack there of.. I wish I could rate them on there food, but unfortunately I was not given the opportunity. Came in with my fiancé for brunch, we were seated fairly quickly... and then we waited and waited and waited and waited. Nobody ever came back to take our drink order, let alone food order. They were fairly busy and I saw at least three servers and they all passed us by time and time again. After almost 20 min, we finally got up and left. We then realized the table behind us was also getting up to do the same. Shame. read more

I love Fridas Room. The food is very delicious and the service is great. Love the art work

I'm not sure I'd go back. The prices were a bit much for breakfast in my opinion. We tried the meat lovers skillet ($14) and the huevos divorciados ($13). Both dishes were drenched in sauce, which was ok for the first few bites, but after a while it just became too much and soggy. Also, the meat lovers skillet could have used a little more meat, hence the name. Service was ok, no complaints there. But overall, not too impressed. read more

I wanted to go my regular coffee shop across the street (should have) but my old colleague wanted pay this new spot a visit. Let me put it this way... just look at this picture - my tomato looks so sad and is that lettuce for my BLT? cant tell as its non-existent... just like the service. Left a tip - I should have been paid for the waste of MY time and bad experience. Frida Room you had one job and one job only... a simple BLT... better luck next time - try a little harder on something so simple. read more

I believe this place is now called Frida Room. We decided to branch out from our regular breakfast places and try somewhere new, found this via Google and was confused that we couldn't find it on yelp but went for it anyway. I'm assuming the name change is new as there wasn't any signs out front and the menu had at the bottom a tiny name saying pilsen cafe. Anyway it was a nice alternative to our regular diner style breakfast joints. Cute cafe atmosphere with nice lights hanging from the roof and cute wall decorations. The only thing I didn't particularly like about atmosphere was the loud bass playing on the stereo system, they were playing John Mayer style music with the bass pumped up which just didn't fit the vibe. The food was great, good menu selections with a mix of typical breakfast items and authentic mexican options. We both option for Mexican style to keep in line with the day of being different. I got the Steak a la Mexican which was HUGE. Steak had a good spice level (def spicy so of your not into spice it's probably not for you) and it comes with eggs, beans and tortillas. I only could eat about half and got a box for the rest. Prices are more than your typical breakfast place, so I'm not sure well become regulars but a good option if we have friends on our side if town for breakfast. read more

This is my second time at this amazing breakfast spot.. also in ONE month. I usually do well with not going to places more then onces a month so I don't get tired of them but this place really struck me! I forgot what I ordered my first time but this morning I ordered French toast with strawberries. Aside from forgetting to tell the waiter I wanted no strawberry jam AND that I wanted the strawberries aside -- the French toast were fluffy & delicious! As for my drink, a cappuccino... great drink. It was my first time trying one as I am learning about different coffee's. I did have to add one baggie of raw sugar but I still have some getting used to different kinds of coffee. Waiter: on point! She might have been a bit pushy but we enjoyed the quality of the food & service. Lastly, the waiter was nice enough to split our checks (myself & a girlfriend)! My bill came out to $14 & some change! I thought that was a steal.. considering those French toast were so filling, juicy, fluffy... ugh they were scrumptious! I'll be coming back! read more

Great breakfast spot in Pilsen! They have a little bit of everything. If you're wanting a little Pilsen food flare or a more traditional breakfast, this is your place. I recently went there and sat outside with a friend and my dog. He order a breakfast burrito and I got a egg and sausage croissant. Both were pretty big sandwiches. You could take home half. Most meals come with the house breakfast potatoes. They are pretty tasty as well. Previously, I've enjoyed the berry French toast. They do have good coffee or lattes! It does get busy on the weekends after 10 for brunch. Unfortunately, I have not ate lunch to comment on this part of their menu. Don't forget it's BYOB! read more

Although the food was good, I had a very unpleasant experience. I did contact the restaurant on their FB page, but they never responded. The waitress did not give me back the correct change. When I confronted her, she seemed bothered. She had a bit of an attitude when she returned with my change. It seemed pretty clear to me that she knew she had not given me the correct change. I told her that it was wrong to knowingly give back the incorrect change. Afterwards, I also noticed her talking to another employee about the situation and they seemed to be laughing about it. This is about having integrity, being honest and treating customers with respect. I'm not sure if I will be visiting in the near future. read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Chicago. The menu is a fusion of Mexican and American plates. I haven't had anything here that I don't like but I usually have the bistec ala mexicana or the chivoto sandwhich with the Azteca coffee. I haven't experienced long waits to be seated regardless of how busy they are and the service is always friendly. When they're busy, the kitchen can be a bit slow but the food makes up for it. read more

I don't give too many 5/5, but this place definitely deserves it. I've had various dishes and every single one has had its very own unique taste & twist to it. The prices are reasonable & definitely worth every single penny. The chivito sandwich is to die for and by far one, if not my favorite sandwich so far. They have an aioli sauce that just goes well with everything. Friendly staff & the place is very well decorated for you art/painting enthusiasts. read more
