    Chilaquiles are SO good! I added chorizo to mine and I was just blown away. They also brought fresh homemade tortillas right to my table. They guy behind the counter was so friendly and helpful, will definitely be going back.

    Came here after visiting the Mexican Art Musuem. Such an amazing experience!! The service was incredible, they were very helpful with what to get and took good care of us. My boyfriend and I both went out of our comfort zones and got the Pambazo and Huarache, and they were both delicious. The horchata was freshly made and delicious also....we got a second one! Lovely, delicious gem! We will be back!

    I called this place to see if they had tamales and champurado and stated they had tamales but no champurado due to the weather which I completely understood. I still came in because my sister just had her baby and wanted this at the hospital, I walked in and loved their whole set up, the guy who answered took my order and was very polite and nice, I am NOT a tamale person and was only going to taste it just out curiosity, I ate the whole damme thing lol and now I want more, definitely going back

    The bread (doughnut and concha), Mexican hot chocolate, and coffee were perfect. As a first generation Mexican American, I came here because its important to support small business owners.

    The tamales were delicious. I’m excited to try mot stuff— especially the drinks. The interior is absolutely beautiful and full of art. And they take Apple Pay so that was a major perk considering I often forget my wallet. Will definitely be back

    We came here for drinks and did not eat food. The horchata was really sweet. The ice tea tasted kinda synthetic, like a cough syrup aftertaste. Atmosphere was fine and there were plenty of others eating food there. But I cannot comment on that.

    I “work from home” which means I visit a lot of coffee shops. This coffee shop has a “home like” feel with delicious coffee, food and pastries to indulge in. They have a variety of authentic Mexican foods and pastries to choose from that you can order to dine in or take out. In addition to the nice atmosphere they have great customer service. If you’re looking for a nice place eat or get some work done this is the place to go! It will most definitely become one of my regular “work from home” spots.

    Great place to eat some authentic Mexican food. Fabulous Huaraches, Tortas, and Tamale Oaxacquenos. Across from park and the Mexican Art Museum with the added bonus of the best prices in Pilsen. Cozy decor inside with the option to eat outside. Service is great too.

    Had a great experience here while visiting Chicago. Such a warm and inviting atmosphere, my family and I enjoyed it. Had some abuelita and pan dulce (which was amazing)! The tacos de papa y chorizo were a hit as well. I can see myself coming back here when I visit again.

    Great food! Friendly and quick service. Located right by the National Museum of Mexican Art if you want to look at art after eating, and a large open park for a stroll.
