    Sitting outside and enjoying this mango smoothie
    Bob C.

    Quick bite, great service, great food. We would absolutely recommend trying the breakfast tacos and the frutos rojos waffle (specials menu). The waffle was soft and had a great flavor. Luis was a fantastic server and had a great attitude!

    Extreme French Toast
    Steph W.

    Our server was top notch, I feel bad for forgetting her name but she was consistently checking on us without being overboard. Kept our bottomless mimosas coming and refilling coffees. The food was excellent. I have a hard time choosing what to eat so I was beyond happy the had a Benedict platter to try multiple options. Got the extreme French toast as well and it had fresh fruit and great sauce. We will definitely be back

    We spent 42$

    Server was so rude . She didn't give us what we asked in our to go order. When I returned she had an attitude and was pushy towards me like wanted me to leave right away after I gave them business . Server name was House S . She had short hair and was heavier set . She makes the restaurant have a bad vibe

    Mote Pillo!
    Renee P.

    Stopped by for a quick brunch on the way to Lake Geneva and was pleasantly surprised by this spot! The service was super quick and friendly and we actually split the Mote Pillo since we didn't want to load up too much before we went hiking. I've never had Mote Pillo before which is an Ecuadorian dish of hominy (big corn) with eggs and spices and it was the perfect hearty breakfast , like the ultimate comfort food. The salsa on the side was tasty and the coffee there was delicious as well. Would love to come back to try other dishes too!

    Good food that arrived quickly. We came for lunch and the portions were good. The llapingachos potato cakes were pretty yummy and very unique.

    Service is pretty good and the food is interesting. I love their chilaquiles which I get often. I recently tried their version of the Chicken and Waffles. It wasn't my favorite but I appreciated their twist on it. I usually dine here a lot during the spring and summer and sit outside on the patio. There is always plenty of available parking in the area. Would definitely recommend and would visit again.

    Savanna's is a quaint, Latin American-inspired breakfast joint in Chicago that can satisfy everyone's sweet and savory cravings. It has a cute patio outside, which I would have enjoyed sitting at, but since it was upwards of 90°, my party of six decided to sit inside. I should point out that there is a "ramp" of sorts with a steep incline leading into the restaurant, which can be an obstacle for those with mobility issues. As someone who classifies "dessert-disguised-as-breakfast" as its own food group, I was impressed with the many options for flavored pancakes, waffles, French toast, and even crepes. I of course chose the sweetest offering with the most toppings--the Superstar Pancakes. A stack of red velvet pancakes with chocolate chips, and topped with Nutella, fruit, and whipped cream, the meal was essentially anyone with a sweet tooth's dream come true. I loved the presentation of the dish--totally insta-worthy! I appreciated that the chefs paid special attention to the presentation of every plate, even during the weekend breakfast rush. Of course, Savanna also offers savory breakfast/lunch meals, including specialty omelettes and a whole section dedicated to Latin-American cuisine. Something that makes Savanna unique is their extensive drink menu--from coffee to cocktails, there really is something for everyone's tastes. I opted for an Arnold Palmer, and I decided to add peach flavoring for .99 extra. All the drinks were served in cute little mason jars and garnished with fruit and sprigs of mint. I ended up mixing the mint into my drink and I loved the addition of the subtle flavor--very refreshing, almost like a summer breakfast mocktail. Nicole was our waitress, and she was very kind and accommodating to our group of six. She remembered the substitutions and customizations for everyone's orders, and we hardly had to wait to get our food. We also ordered a to-go meal on the way out, and she had it prepared for us in no time. Savanna is one of the most popular brunch spots in the neighborhood, but the staff knows how to treat everyone like family. At the hostess stand, there were even tickets for free games at a nearby bowling alley. It's the perfect place to enjoy a latte on the patio, or treat your family to Sunday breakfast after Church. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in Chicago!

    They need to fix their waitlist service. They are not calling the right numbers. Not very good way to run a business.

    4.5. Uninteresting but clean dining room hides some cooking chops. Cool Ecuadorean specials hiding inside a menu full of good things.

With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

    Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.
