    Breakfast tacos
    Isabel K.

    Stopped in for a quick breakfast. Breakfast tacos, enchiladas, and Mexican coffee. Service was fast and friendly! Vibe was giving brunch spot for margs. Would stop in for a casual bite again.

    So so so good is all I can say! The service was wonderful and the food has me absolutely wanting to go back. Also please don't miss out on the cocktails, I had one of the best old fashioned cocktails here along with a mango cocktail! I can't wait to go back and I absolutely will be checking out their amazing daily specials!

    Crispy Rooster Sandwich
    Allegra A.

    Came here for an impromptu lunch/brunch on a snowy Sunday around 1pm. They were able to accommodate our group of 5. Service was friendly but not overbearing. Food was flavorful and delicious! I got the crispy rooster sandwich which was reasonably priced and good portion size. The rest of my group also enjoyed their meal. Next time I need to try the short rib skillet because that looked amazing!!

    Rabos encendidos - so good!
    Jenna C.

    Drawn to their unique menu, my friend and I ventured here for Sunday brunch. We had made a reservation, but it was surprisingly unnecessary - plenty of open tables. They have indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice but it's basically a bar so ambiance was lacking. Food was great - we started with the rabos encendidos and don't sleep on this - the perfect combination, packed with flavor! I also got the papas con chorizo, which was very tasty. For drinks, they have a full bar but not espresso offerings so we just hopped over to a nearby coffeeshop after our meal. Service was ok, a little slow but we weren't in a hurry so no big deal. For half a starter, OJ, and a main, I think my bill was ~$30. If you're interested in brunch fare with a Latin American twist, Dell' Rooster is worth checking out.

    Valencia Style Paella
    Wajhi K.

    Stopped by Dell' Rooster for restaurant week, what a nice and a friendly place. Nothing over the top, had the Valencia style Paella which was amazing and right up my alley. Tomatoey and oniony, soupy finish with all the great saffron paella smells and flavors. The shirt rib was a little overcooked (but seems to be a fan favorite) and the drink menu and drinks were nothing special so it's not a full dinner experience but I would come here and stuff my face on a Tuesday night with no remorse.

    Valencia Style Paella Escalivada

    Service was amazing! Vibes were great. Food was subpar & just ok.. lots of reviews say it's delicious but for Valentine's Day, we came here for dinner & the food wasn't mind blowing. It was pretty average in my opinion. The only good food was the coconut shrimp! and the el Rico suave drink was good. I probably won't be back.

    Guanatos Style Torta Ahogada
    Madeleine A.

    Came to this spot for Saturday brunch (around 11am) with no reservation and was able to be sat within 10min. From the name to interior design, the spot was very Latin. The spot was spacious and the restaurant was filled with customers but not hectic. Not pictured but we shared an oxtail plantain appetizer that was savory with a hint of sweetness and definitely worth trying. I would have it as a main dish tbh. Our main entrees were the torta and chilaquiles. They had similar color make up as the oxtail dish since they were all red sauce base. Both rich in flavor and heavy in meal. I am new to chilaquiles but the tortilla chips were not soggy and had a nice crisp for me to enjoy the entire plate. Both my boyfriend and I stayed full the rest of the day with how hearty this meal was. Definitely a spot worth a try, for the flavors, decent price, & hearty meal.

    Went to Dell Rooster for an early dinner. Service was great... friendly and fast. The bar area is rather small and not conducive to sitting there, so if you're a bar person plan to sit at a table. Food and cocktails were excellent. Note that at the time the cocktail menu on their web site didn't match the menu in the restaurant. The drink I wanted was not on the menu but she made it for me anyway. Thanks!! My paella was really tasty and super moist. And so filling. My wife loved her short rib. We will definitely come back again.

    The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was seasoned very well and the cafe de olla was amazing. The service was top notch he was warm welcome and left us needing nothing. It definitely added to the cozy atmosphere and ambiance.

    Rabo Encendido
    Andre W.

    Stopped in for brunch on a recent Sunday as a good friend suggested we check it out as we like to try spots we havent checked out. Small mom and pop joint which is usually preferred and I believe its classified as latin fusion cuisine. Decor looks very much like you're in a latin food spot. They make a good mezcal old fashioned here, but I very much enjoyed the mango rico which is mango infused rum, lime juice, and mango puree. Sounds sweet as hell but not too sweet. All the apps/first bites looked great but we had to start with the Rabo Encendido which is cuban style braised oxtail, pickled onions, chipotle aioli and queso fresco on top of plaintains...outstanding!!! Melts in ya damn mouth! I almost didnt wanna order anything else after eating that...woooo! I decided to go with the Rooster & Sons Enchiladas...was pretty good. My friend got the Papas Con Chorizo and it was very good! I would definitely come back here for brunch and would love to see what dinner is like.

    Short Rib Barbacoa
    Denise M.

    This place is a hidden gem! Delicious food for starters. The short rib fell apart beautifully. The dates were so yummy. The staff were super friendly and efficient. We made a reservation for dinner before a concert at United Center. This place is only 7 minutes away. So we had a really good dinner, great drinks and were able to easily hop out over to the concert. They have tables and booths available. We found street parking right outside the door. Can't recommend enough!

    Short Rib Skillet with overhard egg
    Joneice B.

    Ventured here for restaurant week. Restaurant has been on my radar for a while. We were lured by the menu as who doesn't enjoy short rib. For brunch we ordered sangria, fig appetizer, papas bravas, chicken/waffles and short rib skillet. The brunch choices were good. Husband finished his whole plate, I took some leftover home and put on a corn tortilla next morning. We also got to sample dessert with restaurant week. Both items were enjoyable. The restaurant itself is cozy and all staff were friendly. I think they would do well adding one more server during busy times as they were stretched tight at times.

    It's been a month since I flew to Chicago and tried this place, but it's absolutely a place you…read morecannot forget. Small spot you could casually pick up food and walk to if you're around downtown. Lots of cheese and sauce with a beautiful baguette to remind you that this place makes pizza too. Dough, cheese, and sauce are what this place really excels in. It's no surprise that they do it well across the board. Out of the sandwiches I tried, the gardinera pairs the best with the Drunken Chicken sandwich. I'm unsure if my hunger pangs were amplifying my experience, but this sandwich was something of legends... The ingredients combo into something a little too unfair to not be distributed to the rest of America. The food really feels special when you have it late night after a really long day of fun. The people are casual and nice and didn't make it awkward to eat there even though the place itself is quite small. Considering cops came in to order here out of all the places around, I can see how anyone could make this their staple spot.

    I order via delivery once or twice a week and Nonna's is on repeat. It's solid and travels well…read more Today I ordered the drunken chicken, which is a chicken parm with vodka sauce, and pesto. It is shareable and hearty. The bread is so good. It's crusty and soft on the inside. It allows the right amount of sauce to soak in without being a giant mess. I don't consider it a save half and eat later sandwich though. In my experience it loses a bit of structure if not eaten right away. I have had the turkey, tuna, and meatball sandwich as well. All good and able to split into 2 meals and they save well. As mentioned, this spot is on repeat for me and haven't disliked anything. The pizza is ok but I wouldn't choose it as my pizza spot. There are better but if you are in a pinch a single slice option is nice. I enjoy the little Tiramisu cup. Perfect size. If you normally scroll by and wonder if you should try Nonna's go ahead. It's a good option.

We were coming from our hotel, which was close to Michigan Avenue so decided to do a pick up order and place that online through their website. They made it really easy and I was able to fulfill what everyone wanted through the various breakfast bagel sandwiches that they offered. When we showed up to the deli, everything was already ready and there are a few tables so we decided to just eat there to make it easier on the kids. We also decided to just get coffee there instead of trying to find another shop and the lattes that we got were both delicious. This place was super cute and exactly what we were looking for before heading to the zoo. It was not very busy at the time that we went, which was around 9am. Would definitely go back if we are ever in the area again!

I highly recommend the Sicilian on french bread and the buffalo chicken is also good. Their prosciutto is so fresh and delicious, i may start buying my lunch meat there! Pro tip - request french bread for buffalo chicken, the multi grain doesn't hit the same imo. There's always a cute little snack to find and their chip variety is the best. Deep River is way better than vickys. They have a nice patio where you can eat, or its a quick walk to the lakefront! They are also now on door dash!
