Chivito. Not bad, but not outstanding. Could have used more potatoes.
Cary C.

I've been wanting to try Frida Room and had a weekday brunch. There was plenty of seating and the vibe 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.

Came here on a Saturday with my family, make sure to have a reservation as they fill up quite quickly! On the smaller side with seating but they had outdoor as well AND the windows were fully open so we got to enjoy fresh air!! The food was great, absolutely no complaints there. The staff were so nice and friendly too! Checked on us to make sure we had everything and were very accommodating taking us a half hour before our actual reservation. Will definitely be back

Bistec A La Mexicana
Michiel D.

Great Mexican-inspired breakfast spot. Accommodates groups well (we were 7 adults and a toddler). The staff is very friendly and helpful. Coffee refills are included. Had the Bistec a la Mexicana, which really hit the spot. The Serrano peppers were a bit on the spicy side, so beware for the spice-sensitive folks.

Chilaquiles Rojos

One of my go to spots for chilaquiles and good vibes. The service and people are quick and polite. The food delicious. I'd also get the cafe de olla, a Mexican staple coffee with sweet cinnamon and piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar).

Hidden gem in the Pilsen neighborhood. Mexican fusion breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. Offers an eclectic menu of foods with the addition of things like a never ending mimosa! Cool art hangs on the walls and dining space is roomy and cozy all at the same time. Service is quick, friendly and bilingual. Very busy around lunchtime but they do take reservations on OpenTable. Recommend!

We just landed from a 28 hour flight from Asia and this was the first place we wanted to try being back home. It did not disappoint! When I say I was so happy to be back, it was because of places like the Frida Room. The space was a bit tight but I was focused on the bigger picture: the delicious food (and wonderful service). Both dishes we got were top tier! Not only that... the cafe de olla was probably the coffee I've had in Chicago in a long time. Definitely the best Cafe De Olla. I would go back just for the coffee honestly. Again, I can't hype of the service well enough and the beauty in these pictures. Marvelous. They were on top of it and always nearby if we ever needed anything. So kind & friendly. If you've never been, go tomorrow (haha). Personal Review: 8.8/10

If you're a Frida fan then I recommend you go here as it is decked out in decorations representing her. They didn't take reservations when I went - not sure if this has changed, but I'd say be mindful of that if not. The inside was packed so we had to opt into sitting outside. That was fine but I wanted to be able to see their decor so that part got ruined for me. The food (I ordered chilaquiles) was okay - definitely needed more sour cream & cheese imo

While in Chicago, we got a chance to check out rut Frida Room for breakfast and it did not disappoint. Not only does the Frida Room offer a great variety of top brunch choices for you to enjoy, but it has a plethora of mouth watering dishes from their famous chilaquiles, pancakes, panini's, not to mention the best hamburgers and enchiladas in Chicago. The Frida Room has the best Mexican American breakfast in Chicago. You really can't go wrong with anything off their menu, I kept it simple with the eggs any style, with the sausage links. The dish comes with potatoes and I also got sliced tomatoes and a English muffin. I loved that their potatoes was nice and crispy and the English muffin was grilled. Their breakfast burritos are really good as well. The service was really good as well, servers were very pleasant and attentive. They also keep the coffee and water coming. I love that they put cucumbers in their water, which was really refreshing. If I'm in the Pilsen neighborhood I will definitely return.

Outside seating

A wonderful, beautiful restaurant with staff that goes above and beyond for the guests. All of the staff exudes kindness and compassion. They let us enter with a stroller and were helpful and willing to make accommodations to change tables in order to comfortably accommodate the stroller. They were attentive, ensuring that our coffee was refilled and checking up on us to make sure that we enjoyed the food. We already felt like the experience was perfect, but what made it even more special was the birthday celebration for my family member. The staff lovingly sang and brought out a plate of delicious pancakes. Our favorite part of the meal was the coffee options; I couldn't stop sipping from my café de olla. It was so flavorful and sweet, and it was enjoyable to drink without anything else mixed in. For food, we ordered the guacamole and chips, chilaquiles, and molletes. We liked the chilaquiles best with the verde sauce. We cannot praise this restaurant enough for such an enjoyable breakfast experience! So much gratitude to the kind staff who work so hard and made it so nice! I would recommend making a reservation because, as you can expect, it does get pretty crowded on the weekends!

Carne en su jugo and specialty pancakes in the background

My wife and kids took me here to celebrate my birthday before heading to nearby Museum of Mexican Art to check out their Dia de Muertos exhibit. I LOVE brunch and this place did not disappoint! My wife ordered our go-to chilaquiles with salsa verde. Two of my sons ordered the churro French toast and my youngest got the pancakes with cajeta and la lechera. Since I can't usually find it on menus, I opted for a bowl of carne en su jugo which hit the spot! The pleasant surprise was the cafe de olla at Frida Room! So good and I could drink that stuff all day long. The service and hospitality was excellent from the moment we arrived. The artwork was the icing on the cake Don't walk to this Pilsen gem, run!

I recently visited Frida's Room and had a really lovely experience. I tried the chilaquiles, and they were absolutely delicious--definitely some of the best I've had in a while. I also loved their café de olla; it was such a cozy touch and really hit the spot. The whole place has a charming vibe, and the prices felt really fair for the quality and service. I'd definitely recommend it if you're in the area!

Azteca coffee
Linda I.

Stopped in for an early weekend breakfast in Pilsen. Fun decor (yes, you'll see Frida) and music. Friendly waitstaff. Carafe of cold cucumber infused water on the table was a nice touch to start. I got the Molletes, as I've never tried this dish before. It's described on the menu as an authentic dish from Mexico City - toast with refried beans, mozzarella, pico de gallo, queso fresco, and topped with sunny side up eggs (+$2). The dish is served with crispy and seasoned potatoes. I asked if it'd be possible to substitute fruit instead of the potatoes (would be ok with an upcharge) but was told no substitutions for this dish. This was pretty good at first! I liked the beans and the bright pico, and the drippy eggs. Definitely felt more "homestyle" than like a fancier breakfast. After a little bit though, it didn't taste as good cooled down (and the bread - a standard white bread - got soggy). The potatoes were good but overall the meal was very hearty and filling so I didn't finish them. Looks like they always put out their homemade red and green sauces on each table. They're made with Serrano peppers and tomatillo and are delicious! I especially liked the green sauce on the potatoes. The Azteca coffee is just as fun and good as it sounds. Coffee-y, chocolatey, cinnamon-y. It's thick and rich to be sipped on slowly.

Another place we recently went to for the second time in several years. We were in the neighborhood for packet pick up for a local race and we decided to give this place another shot. The decor is amazing. Everything was essentially amazing. It's such a cute place and sometimes there's a line going out the door because it's so crowded. Definitely go early!

Not worth the $8 2/5 Overall, it was a great experiment and I'd totally recommend you trying!

The ingredients were all very fresh and complemented each other well. Colleagues ordered the chicken sandwich and were very happy with it. Portions all around were generous. This is a place for a pretty hearty lunch rather than light bites. Service was friendly, though a little slow, and one of my colleagues had to remind them of her drink order. Prices were on the high side but not unusual for the neighborhood, and the high quality and size of my salad made me feel like the price point wasn't completely outrageous.
