Pastores + Brunch

Stopped in for breakfast on a Monday and feel like we got lucky that it wasn't crowded. If you've been sleeping on this place you've made mistakes. My food was fresh, quickly prepared and super tasty. The atmosphere feels like a true neighborhood family diner space and I really liked that vibe. It's not overdone and the bathroom was cute and clean (which is important to me!)

Finally tried this place for brunch on a Sunday morning. Even though we arrived at 10 a.m. we had to wait half an hour to be seated, although we were initially told the wait was only 10 minutes. There were some crumbs on my chair and some sticky stuff on my friend's chair, which wasn't great. The menu is extensive. Service was friendly, though maybe a tad slow. I got the strawberry orange juice (good and I loved the straw), blueberry pancakes (very good), and a side of sausage (also very good). The value was great considering what we had. I would go back here again but can't say it's worth a half-hour wait. I mean the pancakes were good but not life-changing.

Stopped by for brunch and a little exploration. I love a good steak street taco. The service was impeccable and I appreciated the neighborhood feel of the restaurant. Everyone was so friendly, attentive and welcoming to the point where it was hard to tell if other customers were regulars or in for their first time.

I have never been disappointed. This is a great place to visit whenever you are in Lincoln Square. My go-to's are the cucumber avocado kale smoothie and the chicken panini. Everyone that works there is super friendly and helpful.

I kid you not these were best breakfast tacos of my life (and I've been to Texas). And the chilaquiles were some of the best I've had stateside. I will no longer say chicago doesn't have good Mexican food after coming here. Unfortunately the cafe de olla was a bit disappointing. But the horchata was bomb. Also they were super accommodating. We were eating outside but there were tons of bees so they let us move inside with our baby. They made room for our car seat and allowed us to store our stroller in the back.

These chilaquiles brought me back to life and such a nice hefty amount of steak on top! Wonderful little brunch spot in Lincoln square. Absolutely delicious nonalcoholic blood mary and big shoulders coffee. Adorable ambiance and super service. Everything about this place is great.

I really love the vibe of this restaurant. They welcome you immediately as you walk in... and service was quick! My daughter had the chicken quesadillas for kids and the portion was great - we had some to take home. I had the taco dinner and left full. Good food, great service.

This is a classic breakfast place with a good mix of classic American fare and Mexican inspired dishes. Food is delicious and there's plenty of flavors to choose from. The mini waffles were a bit disappointing as they might've been frozen or just not as fluffy as I would have hoped them to be. Skillets and eggs Benedict have been my favorites here. Good coffee too.

I got the Hungry Man - two eggs, bacon, sausage, house potatoes, two pancakes upgraded with cinnamon brown sugar and icing. Friends got Hawaiian roll breakfast slides and eggs Benedict.For the most part, our food was standard diner quality breakfast food which is not a bad thing. Potatoes were soft but not seasoned enough. I don't recommend the Cinnamon bun pancakes. The icing was not even icing. It was a strange, grainy, bland sauce.Service was good. Waiter very nice and engaging. Their prices are very reasonable and probably a dollar or two cheaper than most breakfast places

Very disappointing. Chilaquiles were awful this time, something must have changed. There were no tortilla chips, just a pile of soggy corn tortillas, and the rice and steak wasn't even seasoned. Rice was just white rice with carrots and peas, not even Spanish rice like what is shown in other pictures on here. No flavor at all. I paid over 20 dollars for a pile of bland mush.
