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!

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!

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.

Great place for a good filling breakfast! The potato's were delicious and I have to say this place has my favorite panini. The servers were super kind and provided great service. I walked in and my party was sat immediately which is always a huge plus. Their café de olla was perfect!

As a chef and die-hard foodie, I KNOW how to pick good restaurants. It's like all these years of eating and cooking deliciousness, I've developed a fail-proof technique. So when Frida Room appeared on my radar, i knew I had to go. I went solo on a weekday morning to avoid the crowd. The only thing I knew I absolutely wanted was a cafecito, which I realize is a Cuban coffee, but I was certain Frida Room had something similar. And boy, did they. The description of the Cafe Azteca looked just like the jump start I needed, so I ordered one straight-away. And it got my engines roaring. After carefully pouring over the entire menu, I chose the Chilaquiles Companeros with steak. This hearty meal, with delicious fried tortillas with smothered in a dreamy salsa verde with refried beans, scrambled eggs with queso fresco, tender steak and ALL the apropo accoutrements--avocado, sour cream, cilantro and onions. Nirvana. This place is just a total vibe. Gorgeous artwork featuring, da-da-da-daaaaaa, yep...Frida Kahlo, adorned every wall. Super-attentive servers and a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere makes you feel part of a family. Perfect for solo dining, date brunch and group outings. I love this place. Yeah...definitely go!

Heard a lot of positive things about Frida's room in pilsen and decided to give it a try. My friend and I enjoyed our Mexican breakfast meals. I ordered molletes, she ordered enchiladas and they were amazing.I would recommend this spot to anyone in the area. I did notice it's a bit small inside so maybe not the best for big groups, however I'm sure they'll accommodate you.

Ambience small quaint restaurant on a nice neighborhood block, family vibe, Spanish vibe. Service excellent. Food was good quality and tasteful.I loved the half order of French toast.Blueberry strawberry banana smoothie, nice big size and thick but light at the same time. I customized my moletes order! But my girlfriend who is originally from San potosi Mexico told me the bread should be toasted well and unfortunately the bread here was more soft and they scrambled my eggs instead off sunny side but it was basic seasoning on eggs, and probably would like less portion of eggs on the bread.I would return when I come back to Chicago.Saturdays are busier mornings but the staff, servers and host all work together and make it quick turn around for tables to be available!
