    Bocata Desayuno

    Amazing brunch. We had a sweet corn pancake the was filled with a mild cheese and a side a scrambled eggs. Great coffee options as well. Definitely plan to come back for lunch or dinner.

    1/2 Chicken Lanzaga with Our Lanzaga Coffee Rub ($22)
    Kaitlyn C.

    My friend wanted to try this spot as it was on her list and had good reviews. We came for dinner one night which wasn't busy at all. We didn't know what to order but was going to share everything. We ordered two empanadas to try, one pork and one chicken. The empanadas were the best items we had for dinner. We had one of the specials and the 1/2 chicken in coffee rub. The waiter recommended these items to us. We were a little disappointed in both dishes as we felt like there was really nothing special and not enough sauce on both. They both came with some type of carbs, as can be seen in the pictures, but there was no flavoring or seasoning or sauce that accompanied them. We also felt that it was a bit awkward inside and we had this dinner to catch up with each other. But we felt that it was hard to keep talking when we needed water and had to keep asking for refills. Overall, we were a bit disappointed in our dinner here but the empanadas were pretty good.

    Caracas Omelette

    What a great little place to stop for a tasty Brazilian breakfast! The Caracas omelette was one of the best egg dishes I've had. Full of flavor but not super spicy. I'm also a potato freak and the quartered red potatoes on the side were seasoned well and very good. Randy brought us an avocado crema with a little tang for dipping. Speaking of Randy, the service was impeccable and it's clear he and his partner put lots of time and care into their business. Coffee, tea (created in house) and hubby's dish (Plato Paiso) were all fantastic as well. Anxious to come back for lunch or dinner next time we are in town. For now, we purchased a bag of coffee beans to enjoy back at home. A portion of sales go to the Wounded Warrior Project and/or the Matthew Shepard Foundation. Great coffee for great causes! Go check it out!!

    Steak and Eggs. Those potatoes are so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!

    My husband and I tried Lanzaga this morning based off their high Yelp rating. We were not disappointed. Everything from the ambience to the service to the food was amazing! The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside. However, upon walking in you're greeted with a high-end cafe/restaurant look and feel. We were greeted with smiles immediately and taken to our table. Our server, Cesar, was very nice and patient with our questions and even made a few suggestions based on those questions. We ordered coffees to start and were impressed by how good just drip coffee was. Turns out they roast their own beans in-house. For brunch my husband had the veggie omelette and wanted a crab cake on the side; we were really surprised with the size of that crab cake (see pics). I ordered the steak and eggs and they were cooked to perfection. The steak was so juicy and my over easy eggs were the perfectly runny consistency to sop up with their crispy breakfast potatoes. The entrees were large enough that we brought leftovers home. We also grabbed a few desserts to take home. All in all, we had a great experience at Lanzaga and are excited to bring friends with us on our next visit.

    Skirt Steak, Veggies, Roasted Sweet Plantains

    Went to The Lanzaga for dinner last night, and unfortunately, it was a bit of a mixed experience. The restaurant was quiet, with only two other tables occupied, so we got attentive service from a nice waiter. We both ordered the skirt steak, which was very tender but lacked seasoning--definitely could have used more flavor. They were out of yams, which was disappointing since I'd been looking forward to trying them. Instead, we had the fried yuca and sweet plantains, which were tasty, and the ranch dipping sauce for the yuca was a nice touch. The biggest downside was the price. The bill came to near $100 for two people, which seemed high, especially considering the lack of seasoning on the main course. The coffee, however, was excellent; maybe they shine more as a breakfast spot. I might come back for breakfast someday if they're still around, but with several similar places offering better prices, I probably wouldn't return for dinner.

    My husband, sister in law and I went here for the first time today. I instantly felt comfortable the minute we walked in. Very clean and cute. The food was delicious. Absolutely delicious. I can't praise this restaurant enough. Randy who did everything from the minute we walked in to the minute we left made the experience here wonderful. Can't wait to come back to try the lunch menu. And I will be ordering on line some of your wonderful coffee and tea .

    Caracas omelette

    I visited the Lanzaga twice and got very friendly service both times. On my 1st visit I only had their papelon drink due to the kitchen closing 30min before the cafe's closing time. The papelon was so delicious I wanted to return to try their other menu items. On the 2nd trip they were unfortunately out of the papelon and 2 other menu items I ordered (no empanadas or crab cake). I settled for a modified Caracas omelette, since they were out of the Serrano ham (they offered bacon instead). There was a hair in the omelette and it was overcooked. The Suelta la sopa was very flavorful with tender chunks of chicken and veggies. Definitely my favorite dish. My other guest had the Plato paisa that he described as "alright". Nice ambience of it weren't for the faulty radio with music fading out every few seconds. I'd stop back in for the papelon drink and maybe to try the passion fruit cheesecake but not for a full meal.

    One of the best South American food spots I've tried in the city! The service was incredibly warm, and every dish was a highlight--the empanadas were perfectly crispy on the outside with tender meat inside, and the shrimp stuffed with lump crab and Moqueca offered generous portions with rich seafood flavors. The Lanzaga chicken with coffee rub was wonderfully seasoned. Their desserts, like the passion fruit cheesecake and flan, were delightful and not overly sweet. Will definitely be returning to explore more of their menu!

    Passionfruit Cheesecake

    Absolutely delish meal. Got the maracucho with chimichurri. Along with a passion fruit cheesecake for dessert. So fresh and satisfying. Highly recommend.

    Great South American cuisine! They have breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks such as coffee.

    Soup and Salad menu

    Wanted to try this new place that opened up in the neighborhood. We had the Arepas. It came with a fresh fruit bowl which was great. The bowl had slice strawberry, pineapple and blueberry. It also came with French fries. The fries had a unique rub on it. The areas was okay. Service was great.

    Spinach, portobello Benedict!

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.

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.
