    Some staff speak English here which is great! Try the chilaquiles con o sin huevos. It's fried corn ship with, verde sauce (bit spicy) fried egg, avocado, onion and cilantro. Coffee is a plus too!

    A great spot for a substantial breakfast (think egg dishes, not just pastries, juice, and coffee). Avocado toast is very solid and quite filling. They do not skimp. Pricey for DF, but still not bad.

    Busy!! Delicious! Expensive!! Worth it for sure. I really enjoyed the pancake and "American style" bacon. The coffee was delicious too. I sat at the shared table and it was comfortable.

    Get the scrambled eggs in salsa verde with escamoles (🐜🐜 ant larvae considered a Mexican delicacy); turns out the ant larvae makes the eggs super creamy (and delicious)

    The hype is deserved. I got the chilaquenas, my friends got three other dishes, they were all delicious and definitely filling. Do t miss the passed pastry plate.

    There's quite honestly nothing on this menu I haven't enjoyed. Whimsically fun space and great service staff. Came here pretty much everyday during my trip!

    Lalo! used to be great and worth the price but my latest visit proved the place has lost its charm and flavour. The place is still packed but there are better places around without the hefty price tag

    Definitely take advantage of pastry tray! Loved the Huevos con Chorizo. The Chilaquiles also spectacular (and a healthy portion).

    Very hipster it has one big table for brunch. Great for people watching. Next to Mercado Roma for dessert,of stands/shops/people walking around. Share the chilaquiles.

    The food is delicious, if the chocolate hazelnut banana tart is there when you go, don't leave before trying it! Very cool place, but tends to be noisy so I recommend going if you're 2-3, not more.

    Wonderful Croque Madame, perfect brioche bread and bechamel, keeping a great combination with the gruyere cheese, ham and eggs, so tasty!

    Easily the most delicious chilaquiles I’ve ever had. I’d skip the scramble and pancakes next time
