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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!

Super cool and super busy spot in the Pilsen area. We were seated outside under a big umbrella. It was raining a bit but not too bad. Service was great the food was really good. I got scrambled eggs and bacon with an up charge for fruit. I didn't get any bread or potatoes. Husband got an omelet , toast and potatoes. Food was good and in a great area. read more

Big fan of their chilaquiles verdes, they are delicious with a nice kick to them. Their bistec a la mexicana is also one of my favorites from here. I've been there a few times with family and everyone enjoyed the food. Serving sizes are ample, great service, and decor. The only things are that it's a small place and pricing is up there but worth it for a once in while treat. Still looking forward to trying some more of their dishes, like their carne en su jugo. read more
Stopped by on a Saturday for brunch. It was very busy and we had to wait 30 mins for a table. The staff was very nice regardless of how busy they were. After finally getting our table, we ordered the chivito sandwich and the chilaquiles verdes along with orange juice and an iced caramel latte. Everything was so good but the latte had a weird after taste. I would for sure come back, maybe when it's not as busy and I really want to try a few other items. read more

We arrived to this place for the second time and this time was during the week so not so busy. Our server was polite, nice and bilingual. Ordered the Aztec coffee and it was a bit sweet, spicy but good. The skillet, enchiladas, pancakes were very good. The plate size is great, not too much and not so little. I like the decor and music. It was a nice experience, they do offer outdoor seating. Paid parking on the street. Will come back. read more

We showed up for a cousins' brunch at around 11:30am and were quoted a 20 minute wait, which was the perfect amount of time to grab some prosecco since Frida Room is BYOB! The chilaquiles verdes were super delicious with runny eggs, delicious salsa verde and tons of refried beans. A very hearty start to the day. Our OJ pitcher was only $8 and there was no cork fee, so everything was pretty cheap! Service was prompt and sweet. No complaints at all. They even let us sit and enjoy our mimosas with no intention of forcing us out. We totally enjoyed our time here and would definitely make a return visit! read more
Loved the space, and the food was super good! Ordered the chilaquiles which were amazingggg! They had the perfect amount of salsa, not too spicy, lots of flavor! Heads up, the chile de árbol salsa they bring to the table is on the spicy side, but oh so good! Definitely try them out! read more

As a Pilsen local I have been absolutely spoiled to live so close to one of the top brunch spots in the city! Not many people know this, but I have been on the hunt for the best chilaquiles in the city... and guys... I think I have found the one!!! Ambiance: 5/5 I ADORE the vibes here. You will find various paintings in the likeness of Frida, twinkle lights, and a homey rustic feel to welcome you. The entire staff is extremely friendly and each time feels like a visit home. Food: 5/5 I have been here various times, but today I will focus on my favorite dish... THE CHILAQUILES. OMG y'all I have been on the hunt for years and for now Frida Room has claimed the top spot. Choose your side of salsas between verde y roja but regardless neither will disappoint! The toppings are generous and the chips have nicely absorbed their homemade salsa. *Pro Tip get your eggs sunny and enjoy the liquid gold! Also.. random, but I looove the water here. Adding in orange slices or cucumber is such a bougie and refreshing touch! Price: 5/5 You can't beat $13 for heaven Wait: 5/5 The place gets bustling on the weekends, but the wait is never more than 10 min in my experience, which is still well worth it! Experience: 5/5 Overall I continue to come back so that should tell you something special! read more
Came here for a nice birthday brunch and I'm a total fan of this place! They take proper COVID precautions and are very clean. The atmosphere here is great! They have beautiful decorations of Frida and have a small patio in front. They also have music going in the background which is makes it fun. The food here was so delicious!! I ordered the Chilaquiles and they were bomb. Tasted so good. I'd highly recommend them. Brunch is BYOB so we brought around 4 bottles of Champagne and they had juice for us too! You can also bring your own juice as long as it's not orange! The fee though is $5 per bottle that you bring in. I'm sure you can bring in spirits as well. The service here was great too! Really happy with our server. Overall I will be returning here throughout the year for BYOB and the Chilaquiles! read more

What an absolutely vile experience. I live just a few blocks away, and for a while now I've been wanting to give them my business but I'm so disgusted with what I received. What I ordered via Uber Eats: a chicken panini. What I received: flavorless chicken (no salt. At all), raw mozzarella, thick cuts of onion and tomatoes. All between two slices of the soggiest (not grilled but had grill marks?) bread ever. Also, lol, some of the fries were raw?????? Y'all, heads up you need to actually cook and season your food. Huge disappointment and not coming back. read more

I greatly enjoyed Frida's room. I the decor was very homey. I had the Tres Leches y Strawberry French toast! Absolutely amazing. Not too sweet. I've had Tres leches French toast at other establishments but this by far was the best! read more
I had wanted to check out Pilsen, I had heard it was very similar to Bushwick, my friends and I spent the day there walking around and checking out the thrift stores and whatever else crossed our paths. We happened to be walking by Frida Room as we were starting to feel hungry, right place, right time! Suffice it to say, I have been back to Frida Room upon subsequent trips to Chicago, it's a cozy spot with good food and fun decor. I had the huevos rancheros and highly recommend it, although other entrees I've had are also very good. I really enjoy this spot and I'm sad that it is so far away, definitely a must-visit place whenever I'm in Pilsen. read more

I can not say enough amazing things about FRIDA DE NOCHE. This was a great tasting menu, from Mexican dishes elevated to a 5 star establishment. Angel and his Chef Orozco have placed their stamp for exquisite food in Pilsen. Love Pilsen for everything that it offers, but tacos and margaritas become repetitive in this community. Frida DeNoche is a breath of fresh air in Pilsen. Great job guys! read more

The sandwich was so tasty and the perfect size. Love that there is a variety of options for your side dish - the house potatoes were great! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The menu has many different options for breakfast and lunch. I recommend getting there early - we left around 10:00 and it was starting to get busy! The atmosphere is great and cozy. read more

Stopped by and was greedy so I bought the chilaquiles rojos and they were delicious! I also bought the poppy seed strawberry chicken salad and I believe it had dark and white meat so I'm only rating it good because I don't like dark meat. The rest of the salad was delicious. I'll definitely be returning to try out the rest of the items. read more

Super friendly staff and great vibes. Had never been there before so I wasn't sure what to order. our waitress was really helpful with us to select the perfect meal. the food was delicious. I highly recommend the Azteca coffee it was wonderful. next time we're in Chicago we are going to be stopping there again. read more
Came here for brunch a while ago and really enjoyed the chilaquiles verdes that i ordered. I live in the neighborhood and like ordering coffee from different locations and was very pleased to learn they have great coffee to go options. They had a variety of drinks and make it very easy and quick to order. Other places can have extensive lines so it was nice to find a coffee alternative a little less visited. Staff is always super friendly here, while I recommend calling ahead for a reservation especially if you have a larger group the patio outside is really nice during the summer. The interior has so much beautiful artwork it definitely makes for great pictures. I'm sure I'll find myself back here soon read more

It's a modern Mexican cuisine hot spot. Decor is adorable! People are nice and attentive! Food is good. Went for my moms birthday brunch....we got BYOB service. It was $23. We had a little bit of everything, kids had the sweet side of breakfast with pancakes and all types of topping. Us adults had the more savory side. For a total of 9 people we paid about $200. Wasn't bad, considering it was a bunch of us. read more

Ehh... I was dying to come here for a long time. Unfortunately my experience was so bland. Not due to service or the place. But the FOOD, yeah... it's really not what I expected. It's over priced and portions are small. Ordered enchiladas verdes with chicken. To my surprise they brought me cheese enchiladas and chunks of chicken. Bummer. The chilaquiles rojos are made of tomato base and chipotle have a good taste to them but, again pretty basic. The inside decorations are nice but this place is tiny. We waited 15 min. for a table and we had nowhere to be out of peoples way. We were constantly moving side to side to let others move. *They do BYOB for $5 *They only allow people to sit for a certain time on busy weekend times read more

This little breakfast/brunch spot a great addition to Pilsen! I've been wanting to try it out for a while now and finally brought my butt in, lol. I immediately loved the restaurant's ambiance - from the music playing, the decor, the open windows, the bar in the back, and just the buzz you feel when you walk in. We went on a Saturday early afternoon and was surprised to be seated fairly quickly. The food was pretty solid. We had the chilaquiles and pancakes - both very tasty dishes! (Although I didn't care for their version of scrambled eggs.) The juice was really good, but its BYOB so don't expect any mimosas unless you bring your own bubbly. read more
My goodness, the art, the food, the service - Frida's you're a TEN!. This place is really special and I'm looking forward to my next visit in the near future. This was my first time in Pilsen and Frida's was my favorite spot of the day. The kind of place that doesnt have a huge extensive menu, but they have probably perfected each dish. read more
