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

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!

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!

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!

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.

Food was pretty good, just wish for a bigger portion. Their Cafe de Hoya was pretty good as well. Service was great and I enjoyed the art work they had displayed all over the restaurant. I would definitely stop by here again for breakfast!

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!

Paul M.

The Molletes with eggs was tasty but light and great to start my day mmm. The waitress was so friendly and always checking if I needed anything . What I really appreciated was that we were talking about the Molletes and she asked if that was the first time trying it? I said yes she said they added a twist to the traditional Molletes and if I don't like it please tell her and she would get me something else. I love trying new things and this was absolutely delicious and service was amazing. The decor and ambiance well the pics tell it all! I was so relaxed and comfortable! Great experience will be back

Angelica P.

Delicious! This place has some really good food. The theme is just wonderful! I love all the painting they have around the place! The food was amazing and delicious BUT the best part was the cafe de olla!! It's a must try. Our waitress was super nice like we've known each other for years!

Wow!!! I have been wanting a really good Mexican breakfast for quite sometimes now we actually park down the street. We're heading to one restaurant. The parking was bad so we walked all the way down to a different restaurant and accidentally discovered freed up place and what a discovery we made it is absolutely awesome, you will not be disappointed with anything on the menu and the servers and employees are the nicest people you want to get a bit crowded reservations are accepted. The space is a little small but cozy very clean and very well appointed in the art on the wall, definitely museum quality.

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

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 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

Tasty Mexican style breakfast spot in Pilsen. Big fan of the chilaquiles here. Their "Denver omelette" also somehow ends up being a Mexican version of itself, which I think is a good thing. My girlfriend usually gets the French toast with berries. This is a regular in our breakfast rotation. I took off one star as they keep changing their delivery zone. Some days I'm in, somedays I'm out. Make up your mind Frida! The food is great. 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

This is a small, moderately busy restaurant with nice decors and a warm atmosphere. I had Molletes with a side of two sausage links. They tasted great and the presentation looked nice; however, it was a relatively small portion for the price. I'd revisit to enjoy its atmosphere and try new food, but wouldn't if I were starving/needed to be full. 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

Such a great space. Not sure why the staff at a vintage shop told us to walk to 5 Rabanitos when this place was closer. Husband had the molettes, which he loved and I had the vegetarian panini, which was great. Kid had the chicken panini, which he liked. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that I regret nor ordering something else. I feel like I would have been better off with the molettes or the enchiladas, but alas, maybe next time. 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

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

As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome and seated despite how busy it was. Our server was so kind and attentive and was able to provide suggestions when asked. We both had the azteca coffee and absolutely loved it. So delicious and the perfect balance of strong and sweet. I ordered an omelette and selected what I wanted in it and specified egg white which was no issue. My sister ordered the chilaquiles and said it was some of the best she's had. We will definitely return to try new menu items. We did notice that online, it states that a $5 corkage fee is charged, but the menu in the restaurants reflects a $10 charge for byob. read more

Despite all the hype, it's really an average smash burger. This is a place that has capitalized on…read moresocial media hype and people wanting to say they've been here and thus are cool and trendy. But it is seriously just a greasy smash burger. Their fries are good, and actually stand out more than the burger. Everything is overpriced. I don't know why people complain about the wait; do some research like a responsible adult. I never just walk into a place and expect to be immediately seated, I call first - like anyone who has some sense. If they tell you the wait is 2 hours and you have 2 hours to kill, there are a bunch of bars in the area where you can have some drinks and an appetizer (and not feel like you're stiffing Au Cheval; they're the ones with the 2 hour wait, what do they expect people to do?) Not much to say about the decor or ambience; it's a typically loud West Loop bar with mostly 20 - 30 somethings all trying to one-up each other with their trendiness that instead makes them all basically clones of each other. It is crowded, and you're a moron if you think any place like this is suitable for your 5 year old. That's not the restaurant's fault - it's not Chuck E Cheese. Often I wish Yelp offered a 1/2 star option, because there are places that are a 4.5 or a 3.5. Not in this case. 3 stars is spot-on.

House made slaw and tartar sauce was out of this world! Gotta make one comment on something we didn't have. The next table over, two middle aged women order cheeseburgers. When they came out I almost regretted ordering the fish. They were huge, juicy, and looked incredible. This two ladies, drinking their Chardonnays polished them off, that's how good they were.

The experience dropped to a single star as our dining experience was nearing an end. The manager of the front of the house. Made a conscious effort to make it clear that the table we were dining was needed by waiting customers. I've never ever experienced this before in any restaurant in the Loop. I can't and will not recommend dining here. This is why I'm giving 1 star. I my opinion The Dearborn maybe they need to be in a different location. Maybe located far west of the Loop. I would suggest instead of Dearborn maybe Halsted St. and probably change their name to The Halsted. Im not going back. OH btw good luck in your new location.

There's just something about a burger that actually lives up to the hype--and Little Bad Wolf does…read moreexactly that. Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.

While I wasn't a big fan of the taste of my drink and dessert, my friend enjoyed both of theirs. Rather, the service was excellent and the views were amazing. My friend ordered The Rocher for dessert, which includes hazelnut cake, mascarpone chantilly, and smoked maldon salt. I ordered a Baked Alaska, consisting of citrus cake, lemon cream, toasted meringue, and salted white chocolate crunch. We both also ordered cocktails. I cannot recall the name of the drinks. I asked for my drink to be fruity and sweet, but it wasn't enough of either for me. The Baked Alaska was fine but too much of various flavors. I wouldn't fault the restaurant for the drink or dessert taste as I know others really enjoyed theirs. Our server was most attentive and very helpful. We found that making a reservation on Open Table only offered a certain number of time slots, and all of them involved having dinner and not just drinks or a dessert. Reservations can also be made on their website though we chose to speak to the front desk about a reservation. Going up to the bar is first come, first serve though. We ended up making an Open Table reservation and were told it was okay to only order drinks and desserts. Cindy's is named in honor of Marian "Cindy" Pritzker, a beloved Chicago philanthropist. It sits on top of the 13th floor of the hotel under a glass atrium and offers views of Millennium Park, Lake Michigan, and beyond. Cindy's Rooftop is open Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 11 PM, Friday from 11 AM to 12 Midnight, Saturday from 10 AM to 12 Midnight, and Sunday from 10 AM to 11 PM.

Right on 18th Street, you'll find one of the best places for a Mexican-style breakfast. My go-to dish is the chilaquiles, which are always flavorful and satisfying, especially with the addition of steak to complete the meal. The portions are generous, and the food consistently delivers in both taste and quality. The Café de Olla is a standout--hot, fresh, and perfectly spiced every time. Aside from the chilaquiles, I've also enjoyed their pancakes with cajeta, which are a sweet treat. The aguas frescas, particularly the Jamaica and horchata, are excellent. The Jamaica is especially well-prepared--no overpowering fermented or acidic aftertaste--just the right balance of sweetness and tartness. The staff here are consistently warm, polite, and attentive. They check in regularly to ensure everything is to your liking, which really enhances the dining experience. Their friendliness and care make you feel welcome, adding to the overall charm of the place. The restaurant has a cozy, intimate vibe, with a layout that accommodates both small and larger groups despite its relatively modest size. It feels like stepping into a Mexican household--warm, inviting, and filled with character. That family-owned atmosphere is palpable and adds a layer of authenticity to the experience. This is a fantastic neighborhood spot for breakfast or brunch, offering great food, excellent service, and a welcoming ambiance. Highly recommend! read more

Great food at a fair price. I live in the neighborhood and I am very happy to have such a nice breakfast restaurant available in the area. The service was efficient, friendly and they always smiled when I asked for something. I ordered eggs and they were served with delicious hash browns and amazing pancakes. To drink I ordered the hibiscus cold tea, a great choice for the tea lovers like me. I am definitely coming back and hopefully make this place my to go restaurant for breakfast. read more
