Another exploitation of the name Frida. I waited 30 mins to sit and another 30 min to eat, normally if the food is good I don't mind the wait. Unfortunately the food and service was extremely lack luster. I had the breakfast enchiladas and so did my bf who is Mexican and we can both say these are far from authentic and over priced,not good. Don't let the Frida decor fool you. read more

Minus one star cause the wait is always superrrr long. But other than that, food is great! I will never get over the fact that Pilsen is as gentrified as it gets..... Chilaquiles are definitely a must! read more

To start off..Mexican food was good. Place was modern. Oh and this was my first time here and probably the last. The only thing that was not good was the customer service, our 'waitress', and the manager. Not welcoming least to say. We had a table for 4 people and they have about 10 tables total. We ordered-all was good. They brought it out on time....most of what we ordered. The 'waitress' we had seemed a bit slow. Or she was new. I'm not sure but one of the two. We had patience and me of course I'm a good mannered person. She forgot to come check on us, serve us more coffee, and she forgot an order of sausage links and a second fruit cup that we had first ordered!! Such lack. Dissatisfied, disappointing, and just not interested in going back! The manager should really pay attention to these 'little' things. And being rushed out to leave by putting the receipt on the table and going back every 2 minutes to ask if we needed anything else is just rude. The waitress should've been doing that since we got there. I used to be a waitress and believe me I know how to handle 5+ tables on my own, and earn my hefty tips! Oh! She brought the sausages after we received the receipt! And she said that she wouldn't charge due to the long wait. No thanks! Y'all can keep your sausage and change too. Tan desagradable el servicio. read more

Watch out, this place has no name! Ok, alright, I'm a bit confused to what this restaurant is called. There is no name on the storefront so I was a bit confused where it was at first. Then the check has one name and the credit card receipt has a different name. Quite funny. Anyways, upon walking in, it was very clean, modern. The one person working there, waitress, greeted us and seated us. We got some coffee and the glass coffee mugs are cute but impractical with its tiny baby handle. The food was good. I liked it a lot. I ordered a veggie skillet. Not much of a skillet, more like a dish. Diced, seasoned potatoes with veggies on the bottom with 3 sunny side up eggs on top. Side of toast (buttered and jam on the side). Beware, what they don't mention is that the potatoes are spicy. I showed the waitress the 20% off check in on Yelp (Monday through Friday only) and she forgot to add that to the check. Too bad I was in a hurry and didn't notice it. Oh well. I will definitely go back next time and try the other menu items. read more

Good food if you frequent in the neighborhood. Service is iffy. Sometimes the portions are not consistent. Overall if I want breakfast and don't feel like driving anywhere I walk here. read more

Where to start? The pancakes draped with lechera or the art district burger with blueberry compote? Tip: come with friends, order a few things and split them. Really attentive servers who helped us pick the best plates to test on our first visit. Very creative touches on very unique dishes. We will definitely be back in Pilsen for this gem. read more

a hidden gem , cant wait to try the other dishes and its byob. my new place for pilsen so so good read more

Frida room has all the right feels and music. The only thing that sets it apart from other breakfast spots is that they have lechera for the pancakes, which is what I'll order going forward. I stepped in with my friend and we both ordered chilaquiles. My chilaquiles were a bit cold and the chicken tasted like chicken that was made days prior. Will definitely go back for the pancakes with lechera! read more

Ordered out from DoorDash and the food was disgusting. The sausages and beans tasted expired. Ended up getting sick from eating their food. It's clear they don't keep up with their health code. Don't eat here! read more

The food is great, the prices reasonable and the staff is also great. The owner, Mario is so welcoming and down to earth. Great guy, running a great establishment! read more

The 2 stars is for the decor of the place, frida coffee and service. Other than that the food like chilaquiles and enfrijoladas were bland and lacking "sazón". Soft drink was completely flat and ambience was very loud and it was nice that server lowered volume of EDM music blasting at 95 decibels. Will I come back? Most likely not and should've stuck to the plan of visiting another restaurant further west on 18th St. read more

Very friendly staff. My husband loved the banana strawberry pancakes. I had the meat lovers skillet, it too was delicious. read more

We waited for a table for 30 minutes (party of 8).. we were seated and our orders were taken. We waited about 40 minutes for our meal and waitress brought out two plates at a time and she was clueless as to who ordered what. Not a big deal but as each person digs in (the 4 that received food anyway) we realize eggs are cold, meat is cold, each and every person has received a cold plate of food. We are in disbelief. We send the food back and when it comes back it's still cold. We are hungry and disappointed. We will never come back. The service wasn't the best and the food was disappointing. read more

They lack communication from the kitchen to the front of the house. They seem unorganized! I order a veggie panini and when it finally came it was a chicken panini. read more

Food was good. Chilaquiles were a bit too spicy for me but good taste. Servers and managers looked a bit overwhelmed with people waiting to be sat down. read more

Great place , excellent tasty food ,service is prompt and friendly. I recommend the enfrijoladas add chicken for a small extra charge ,also the pancakes with cajeta are delicious. Its a little pricey but worth it. read more

Frida Room - Exquisite! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Got brunch here on Valentine's Day at this cozy little hole in the wall in Pilsen. They gave all the ladies a tulip which I thought was such a sweet gesture. Everyone was friendly, cool art on the walls, good coffee. Only downside was that the food was a bit cold - the fruit topping they put on must have come straight from the fridge so my French toast was cold. Overall it seems like a good place to keep in mind for weekend brunches because it didn't seem to be as crowded during brunch hours as I was used to on a Sunday. read more

Does not Disappoint! Try the Chivito Sandwich and onion rings. The Enfrijoladas were great too!

Avocado toast was the best.... I went to Chicago for the first time a few weeks ago and this was on our must haves. I loved the decor and the staff was amazing. It was decorated so tastefully. I would go back next time and highly recommend to any one who goes to Pilsen read more

Outstanding doesn't nearly describe how fabulous Frida Room is. They gave certainly captured the concept of service. Nancy the manager, Adrian and I believe her name was Angelina are tremendous. Unfortunately we requested an outdoor table for 6. The heat became too much and Nancy and Adrian kindly moved us inside, no problem. Adrian was extraordinarily perceptive saw child loving the cucumber water. He brought a plate of cucumbers with lime on the side. It kept the little one happy. We all order differently entrees. The enchiladas, huevos rancheros, burgers and quesadilla with ham and cheese - yum. It's byob although we didn't take advantage. Adrian told us about the tasting menu offered on weekends. Price fixed. It sounds incredible. We will certainly book. Chef Christian was over and above caring. After hearing how we LOVED the entrees he came from the kitchen to introduce himself and chat. This restaurant is a gem. They are spot on in all areas of what makes a restaurant outstanding. Give them a try. read more

Breakfast was top notch! Large portions and tasted amazing. Try the chicken breast skillet!!

I am sad that I had to give 3 stars because flavor and presentation of our plates was amazing until I took a bite and a long hair was intertwined with cilantro needless to say I was devastated because I was enjoying my dish the waitress apologized and took the plate off our bill and offered to bring a new order but my appetite had vanished by that point the whole someone else's hair in my mouth was a turnoff. I plan on giving them another shot in the near future cause I understand accidents happen. read more

The place is cool. I really like the decoration all about Frida Kahlo and El Santo. The food is good. I had Chilaquiles with Huevos Divorciados. Overall everything was good, I have nothing to complaint about. I definitely will try something different next time. read more

The Chipotle Chilaquiles are very VERY good, don't expect nothing out of this world but, they are the right amount and the right spice. The Piña coladas are yummy, I normally don't go for Piña coladas but the waitress recommended and she was on point! My fiancé ordered the huevos rancheros and they were filled with flavor. Definitely gonna come here again and again the prices are also the right amount for what it is. Two thumbs up Pilsen Breakfast & Grill read more

Great example of the Frida Kahlo name being exploited to bring in customers. Food is horrible. Service is horrible. Price is too high for the shameful quality of food being served here. Restaurant is ridden with Frida Kahlo artwork and Mexican mementos to provide a cool instagram photo. Tsk tsk. It would be nice if the restaurant stops garnishing everything with those half inch red onion slices. Maybe it will bring their food costs down. read more

Every time we have eaten here the food is delicious - love the pancakes and Mexican dishes. Prices are super reasonable. This is our go-to!

Phenomenal service, love the atmosphere and the food was cooked with love! Will revisit with family & friends!

Literally only four tables besides ours being served and we didn't even get asked for drinks nor anything. Waiters were legit eating all at the bar area not even bothering to ask anything. Complete joke lol. read more

Really wanted to try this place out the other day. They are supposed to open at 8am, arrived at 8:20 and tried to open the door. A very rude waitress comes to the door and tells me that they're not open yet. I get it, someone probably didn't show up to work on time. But don't tell me you're not open yet, like I'm in the wrong for trying to open your door. She then proceeds to tell the other people that have been waiting before me, that they will not be open until 8:40. So I happily took my business down the street to Celinas Grill, which had AMAZING food btw! read more

A little too high in price for they type of food, but it's in gentrified Pilsen, so what could you expect? Place is nice though, food is good, not great but good. read more

I got the huevos divorciados, and they were great. I highly recommend this place for its warm staff, nice Frida decorations, and tasty food. There was a short wait, but it was worth it! read more

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, great breakfast food and the coffee (Intelligentsia) is amazing :) Try it; it's my favorite spot.

Great place to eat well for a reasonable price! I ate here a couple of times already and I always have a great experience. Last time I was there with my friends I tried the Eggs and Ham and it was delicious. The Ham is of the bone which gives it a special flavor. I also order coffee since it is from intelligentsia, my favorite. We all had a great time so we are definitely returning to keep trying their food. read more

My friend and I live in the area and we go to Frida Room at least once a month. We are always impressed with the quality of their food. Everything, especially the different salsas taste incredibly fresh and well balanced!! On our last visit, we were surprised at how busy the place was. I think they forgot to assign us a server, or our server didn't know she had our table because we were waiting for a while. We didn't mind, because we could see they had a lot going on at the moment. They said they didn't have anything gluten free (which I don't think is true? surely something is GF) which wasnt too big of an issue. My friend ordered some pancakes but was surprised when they came out; they were like a what a birthday kid would wish his breakfast to be, covered in caramel, white chocolate? sprinkles, the works. Haha, it was so funny because my friend didn't know what he ordered, but that definitely wasn't what he was expecting (his fault for not checking). The best part is he didn't want to make a scene and send it back, so he just sat there and asked for a to-go box slightly disappointed. The punch line is--the staff was attentive enough to notice something was wrong, and they came over to ask if there was any problem. He explained the dish wasn't what he was expecting but its ok, he'd bring it home for his roommate anyway. The manager (?) insisted on him getting another meal for him, which he did, and changed the whole situation. I was impressed enough that they noticed the situation and acted to fix it, even without my friend bringing it up. When we left, they didn't charge us for the pancakes or our coffee. This experience, as well as the several other times we've been there with amazing breakfasts, inspired me to write a review. Thank you! read more

This place was overpriced for the amount of food you get. Service was slow and the waitress wasn't very bright. The food did taste good but I wouldn't go back. It was also very crowded. Tables were squished together wayyyy to much. I was squished against the table and couldn't move. read more

Delicious food , excellent service , and great mimosas . Perfect place to have Brunch with some friends
