Miatsu K.

Ok, this place was amazing. I've lived in this area for a decade and likely driven by this place 100 times. It has very unassuming signage I can barely read from the road. The sign is weathered and the place kinda looks like it might have closed ten years ago. But, what a surprise. Apparently it's a "locals" favorite and after my lunch today, I know why. We were greeted and seated within thirty seconds of walking in. The young female hostess was welcoming and chatty. Our waitress, Christina, was incredible from our first conversation forward. She was fun, friendly, efficient and professional. In a very almost friends kind of way. The food was hot, fresh and well made. The prices were much better than Denny's or a Village Inn and the atmosphere much more personable. I just might have found my new breakfast spot in my area.

Steak and eggs.

One way to get me to write a less than stellar review is to overcook my steak. I ordered rare, it was well done. The potato portion was small. The rest was fine. I love a little breakfast spot like this, but I absolutely despise a well-done steak.

Burrito Supreme add Serrano
Julia T.

My husband and I went to Mike's Cafe for the first time today and we were so impressed! We ordered the Burrito supreme and requested Serranos to add some spice, this was DELICIOUS. Service was great. Our server was extremely helpful and kind. We will definitely be returning.. but next time we will make reservations because this place gets packed!

Country Fried Steak!

Food is very good and reasonably priced! This is an old cafe...go for the food, prices and excellent service! Drive carefully to avoid pot holes in parking lot! Our go-to for a good BF at reasonable prices! Almost don't want to share this gem with others, as it is very popular. (Bonus - Coffee for less than $3)

In the mood for delicious street tacos? This is what you've been looking for. I had been here once…read moreand the food was really good. I don't remember what I ordered though so at the time it just wasn't very stand out-ish. I recently went back with some friends because I told them I was in the mood for tacos. I tried a few different ones, the Carnitas, the Barbacoa, and the Lengua. I was full with three, but it was so good. I ordered a fourth and my husband who normally gets my leftovers - didn't get any leftovers from me this time! He got a couple different tacos from what I had largely. We ordered about the same, but he got the shrimp which he said was delicious as well. I also tried the signature, Bellanova margarita - I must say that was a little unexpected, not your traditional margarita it was very sweet, so probably not something I'd order again since I prefer stronger tasting drinks, but the coconut flavor in it was delicious if you like coconut. The service was excellent! When we arrived, the interior was super packed and super loud so I was very relieved when we got to sit on the back patio, which turned out great because even though there was a little noise there, we were able to hear each other much better. The server was excellent. She kept checking on us. She answered all our questions and was very kind and accommodating. I've been thinking about the tacos since then, it's been about a week, I can't wait to go back.

I really enjoyed my recent visit to Cencalli. I ordered the Pork Pork al Pastor Taco and carnitas…read moretaco and it was very authentic. The corn tacos were very fresh and table service was great. They have a great selection of drinks, alcoholic and regular, and our server was fast but didn't rush us at all. The only confusing thing about our visit was that we had to wait in the back of the restaurant for our table, fine no issues with that. Except that they told me someone would be "right there" to get a drink order for when we were waiting for our table. Sure, well after 10 minutes no one had come by where we were sitting to get our order. We even tried to nicely flag down a server, but no one listened. So I went up to the bar myself and was sharply told, "no, you'll have to wait for someone to come by. We can't have anyone up here." Okay??? A server did soon after stop by, however I found that process not smooth at all. Overall, though, a good restaurant and I would even love to stop by there for brunch sometime.

We went on…read moretaco Tuesday and had no problem getting bar seating (or there were a few tables available) around 5pm but I noticed after 6pm people were waiting for seating. The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar. The bartender was great and made a solid marg ($8 on happy hour). You get a great deal on taco Tuesday but I'm sure you'd get great service and quality any day of the week!

Good meal but a lot of work and hassle!…read more Very limited parking. Left side of the building are a few parking spots shared by several businesses. Good luck getting a spot. Then you are driving the neighborhood hoping to find a spot. Finally parked and walked to the restaurant. Host told me it would be 30 minutes but the actual wait was 50 minutes. Spend so much time parking and then waiting, at what point do you give up and leave empty handed? Restaurant is VERY LOUD. Finally got a table and ordered OFF MENU. Server agreed to substitute shrimp for my enchiladas and they were good! Fresh corn tortillas were the highlight. Ordered tres leches cake and enjoyed it too. Was a nice meal but just not worth all the hassle.

My son and I have been eating at El Tejado for many years and have always liked it. We were…read morepleasantly surprised on a recent visit to discover they've completely overhauled their menu. Both of us have eaten here within the past couple of months, so it must be a fairly new thing. There are definitely many items from the old menu still available, but they've significantly expanded their offerings across pretty much every category. We started with their always tasty guacamole salad. My son had the birria plate, which was large tender chunks of beef with the usual sides and warm tortillas to wrap it all up in. I enjoyed the fish enchiladas which were well seasoned and moist fish wrapped in corn tortillas, and smothered in a very tasty creamy sauce. It was surprisingly busy for mid-afternoon, but service was efficient and our food came out fast and hot. With all of the seating options, even when they are busy like that you never feel crowded and they never try to rush people out. So nice having a place like this in the neighborhood and for them to be doing well year after year.

Skip the birria. It's a new thing and not on the menu but it's the worst I have had. Big chunks of…read morefatty and greasy meat and slabs of gristle and fat. Not the nicely pulled meat that I am used to. If you want this sort of meh item get the machaca instead. Birria seems to be a test but they have failed it and should just move on and leave it off the menu.

Four of us went to Perdida Kitchen for an early Father's Day dinner and we were very glad we did!…read moreIt is on the very busy strip near Washington Park which we don't often frequent because it is indeed very busy. But this was Monday evening and we were seated immediately. Our server said that we had 5 minutes left for Happy Hours--thank you!!--so ordered Caliente Margaritas and appetizers. The nachos were delicious--and messy! The Margaritas were as well. I had a nonalcoholic Athletic Brewing Company Cerveza Atletica (Mexican style copper). There were several other NA cocktails and beers available as well. We were all very pleased with our entrees. They were all luscious. Two of us are vegetarian and there were plenty of choices. I had Crispy Avocado Tacos, which came with black beans, and a side of Street Corn--both great choices. My friend had quesadillas and Potato Flautas , which I tasted and almost wish I had ordered as well. Our carnivore gentleman partners were also very happy, with one of them choosing a sampler, "Perdida's 'Best Of' Plate." Perdida is a great new addition to the Wash Park area.

We had arrived just in time for Happy Hour- Monday-Friday, 3-5pm . Perdida has a worthwhile Happy Hour as several main menu appetizers as well as cocktails are discounted. I selected the classic marg to sip on. It was a good, standard margarita for $6. We also had to try the mini chile rellenos. These were tasty and the dipping sauce paired well with the chilies and cheese. Perdida was good. I think I'll revisit to try some main dishes. The fajitas smelled amazing!
