    Huevos verde
    Christina H.

    Hate to the bearer of bad news, but I didn't think the food here came close to five stars. All the mimosas tasted like straight up champagne and we also weren't told what all the flavors were. I feel like when you get flights at other places, it's presented a bit better. I got the huevos verde and even though everything was cooked well, it lacked so much seasoning and flavor. The breakfast potatoes could've been a bit crispier too. They have a trio of hot sauces on the table and none of them were spicy and that says a lot from someone who cannot handle spice. I thought it was interesting that there were hot sauces on the table but no salt and pepper, but they have it if you ask. Service was great and the staff were nice but I don't see myself coming back.

    Guadalajara Scramble
    Dorothy S.

    I was surprised to see that I'd never written a review for Flo since we used to get bfast at Flo often pre pandemic. Their steak and eggs were one of the best in town. We came here recently bc I had a hankering for some steak and eggs. I was very disappointed to see that they got rid of steak and eggs from the menu altogether, sad day. So husband got the Guadalajara Scramble and I got the huevos rancheros. The steak in the scramble was very chewy, I could barely chew it. I was bummed by my huevos rancheros; I found the red sauce to be flavorless and wished I'd asked for the verde sauce instead. We were both underwhelmed by the quality and taste of the food, which was disappointing since we remember how good it used to be here. Service was just aight. We went right after Christmas and they at least had lovely Christmas decor up, I did enjoy that. Parking is pretty easy, there's a lot of pay to park on Chicago.

    Flo Style
    Emily J.

    Flo is a great restaurant! I stopped in for brunch and had no wait around 1pm on a Sunday. We were seated and served quickly. The brunch menu was extensive and everything was reasonably priced. I got the Flo Style which was eggs, pico de gallo, potatoes, and black beans. I wish the potatoes were crispier but it was a tasty dish overall.

    Came for brunch and it was amazing! We got chorizo scramble and the breakfast enchiladas which were sooo good. Cocoa pebbles French toast were amaze and would def recommend splitting since they were so sweet

    While visiting the neighborhood I came to Flo for brunch with some friends. We came in around 11 am and were literally the only ones there. The service was alright, not the greatest but not the worst either. I did appreciate that they make their own delicious hot sauces but my food was just alright. I had the red chilaquiles. The flavor was great but I was kind of shocked that they didn't come with a protein of any kind and not even an offer to add egg. Overall it was ok. Maybe the dinner service is better than brunch.

    Cholula Bloodymary
    Joneice B.

    Came on a Saturday afternoon to hang with my Y.E.S. girls. Flo pulled us in by the diverse brunch menu. Located in Noble square right off Chicago Ave. Plenty of paid parking on Chicago Ave but some free parking about a two block walk. I enjoyed my turkey sandwich. It was a Smoked turkey, bacon. jack cheese, sautéed red pepper, guacamole, spinach and chipotle aioli on thick cut country sourdough served with breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were okay but lukewarm. They felt like they were scooped out a pan, that was left on top of the oven. I enjoyed my Bloodymary $12 with a beer back ($2 upcharge). It was exactly what I needed after a night of partying. Establishment was clean and service was quick. Overall I enjoyed my experience but likely because my company was so good.

    The Shrimp tostadas with the margarita in the foreground. Excellent.

    I have been waiting to try Flo for quite a while. In addition to just being interested in the restaurant, I found out fairly recently that a friend of mine from college has a family connection to the restaurant (which made me even more interested in checking this place out). The family connection is from New Mexico, so I was told to try any of the New Mexico classics. I was not disappointed. In fact I was rewarded. I had the Hatch Green Chile Stew, and my friend had the Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas. The stew was one of the best restaurant stews/soups I've ever had. Stews are one of the most comforting foods I can imagine (especially in the Winter), and this one was so flavorful, but without "too much" punch or heat. Personally I could have stood a "little" bit more heat, but I totally understand why a restauranteur in that particular neighborhood would play it a little "safe" on the heat levels. The dish was so good that it really did feel like I was having a meal at someone's home, which to my mind is the mark of many of the best restaurants I've experienced. When my friend's enchiladas hit the table, I immediately thought to myself; "damn, that looks good. Maybe I should have ordered that." I tried a bite, and it was as good as it looked. That entire plate just looked "right." If you've had authentic food from either; Mexico, or the Southwest of the U.S. (although New Mexico really is or at least "can be" it's own separate thing), then this plate will look and smell and taste quite right. So good, and served at the right temperature. That might sound like a small thing, but I've had otherwise excellent meals not exactly ruined (but significantly diminished) by the food being too cool when it comes out. This was not that place, and I REALLY appreciate that aspect of a restaurant's service. The servers were super friendly but not intrusive, and they were really patient with me and my friend as we were; catching up with each other after not having seen each other for a while, and not ordering (and not quickly reviewing the menu although I suspected that we might push close to closing time given when we sat down). I almost forgot that we started with the; guacamole, and the shrimp tostadas. The chips served with the guacamole were virtual perfection. And that doesn't sound like an area where a restaurant might shine, but I've had so many substandard chips (too thin, too greasy, too heavy, et cetera) that when you have REALLY good ones - they leave a mark on your memory. The guacamole was really good, and the tostadas were very satisfying. I could have easily ordered a few of those and been completely satisfied with my meal. We started everything that night with; a Paloma (for me), and a margarita for my friend. He liked his drink, and wished that we had time for him to order a second since there were so many interesting margaritas being offered. The Paloma was true to form and its description, and it's a perfect light touch drink. To close it out my friend and I shared a Sopapillas dessert. It was fairly light and perfectly sweet but not overly so. The cinnamon, honey, and vanilla were a perfect way to end our meal. I'm VERY, very interested in heading back to try some of the rest of this drink menu and the regular menu sooner rather than later. Great staff and service and food.

    Lobo skillet
    Layna L.

    Stopped into Flo for brunch. We ordered the lobo skillet and red chilaquiles. The food was well-seasoned, flavorful, and filling. This was a great place for a satisfying and affordable meal. The servers were kind and accommodating as well--one of us had a pork allergy and they were able to make the skillet with chicken instead.

    Fresh yummy Paloma!

    Excellent staff, fantastic special and standard cocktails, awesome food, great ambiance! Been a fan for over 15 years..love this place.

    SO GOOD. Loved the vibes and such a unique and fresh take on breakfast. All of the staff members were so kind. Definitely a great spot.

    I am really disappointed in the food that was served at Flo. Coming for brunch with some girlies we started off with some cocktails. I ordered the lavender dust cocktail - under their mimosa list. It was incredibly bland. It was purple for sure but no hint of lavender. If you wanted to turn up/ get intoxicated, a couple of these could have you off your butt. I chose to order the portobello mushroom tacos as the other options were typical and overly pricey. The dish did not return as I would have expected. It was an open face taco merged/ melted into one another with a bunch of eggs and sprinkles of mushrooms. There was no pico de gallo but rather a red mole type sauce in top and black beans. I get this is a vegetarian friendly dish but for the price, vegetarians deserve better. There was no season, salt or flavor at all. You would have thought you lost your ability to taste the way this food didn't do anything for the palate. The portion size and presentation for the price requested does not match and it is not ok.

    Green Chilaquiles with sunny side up eggs
    Tracy L.

    My favorite breakfast spot when visiting Chicago. We visited on a beautiful Sunday for brunch. They have 4 outdoor tables and umbrellas setup so we were able to dine on the "patio" (sidewalk) with my corgi. I ordered the Green Chilaquiles (off menu) with sunny side up eggs for $14. You need to specify how you want your eggs; otherwise, they will default to scrambled eggs. Husband ordered Flo's Original Burrito for $12; it came with potatoes and beans. We enjoyed our breakfast. Service was prompt and friendly.

    Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas - added in green hatch chiles + an egg.  Outstanding!

    Ask the Community - Flo

    Is there outdoor dining?

    Yes. We have a patio in front of the restaurant.

    Do they take reservations? Here it says they do, but I didn't see any option to do so here or on their website.

    Sorry this is 9 months after you asked. To my knowledge they do not take reservations. However I've never waited there, and I think even when they're busy the tables will turn over somewhat quickly. I live nearby so I like to order takeout and bring… 

    Do you have gluten free options?

    Yes we have lots of gluten free options. Just talk to your server and they will guild you in the right direction.

    Is the French Toast available all day on weekends?

    Is it BYOB?

    They have a full bar!

    What time does the brunch menu end on the weekends?

    Brunch ends at 4pm on Saturday and 3pm on Sundays.

    How loud is it in here? How are interiors-is there good day light and is it lively or is it cozy?

    More lively than cozy. It can be pretty busy. I love this place but I would want something a little more intimate on a first day. Every other date go here, because it is wonderful, but the first date pick something more cozy.

    Do you play music during Saturday brunch?

    We don’t have live music. We do have music playing through our speakers.

    Any Vegan options?

    I really didn't see on the menu. Sorry

    Do they take reservations on weekends?

    Weekend nights but not brunch. You can visit our yelp page and add your name to the list the day of your party.

Finished off with pulpo (what a fun, tender yet crunchy take!), bone marrow (so decadent and relatively large portion with crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside bread), and ceviche (I think it had sesame oil? What a delight). Not a surprise, since I've always loved chef Rick Bayless, and chef Jackie is great as well. Came with two kiddos and they were very accommodating with kids menu and coloring options.

I did the pineapple spicy marg which was their seasonal one and it was also pretty good. Friends got their steak which looked good. And their pozole looked the best. That's what I would try if I came back. Their service was aggressive... clearing plates as people hurriedly grabbed the last bite off of them, interrupting conversations. But they did check back on us frequently. It's a little small and the footprint is a little awkward.

It's not a no, but there are other more magnificent places in the area. It's Chicago after all.

As far as service goes, it was just okay. It took quite a long time to receive our drinks and also to get the check at the end. While it wasn't a huge deal since we had plans afterward, we definitely felt like we were waiting longer than necessary. After finishing our meal, we waited at least 15 minutes for the check. Again, not the end of the world, but worth noting in case management sees this. The food itself was pretty fantastic. The chips and salsa were great and tasted very fresh. The salsa was especially good, so credit where it's due. We ordered the molcajete with an extra side of rice. While it was tasty, it was disappointing portion-wise. There was only one thin slice of chicken and one thin slice of steak, along with some chorizo. The thin portions made the dish feel overpriced. I've had molcajetes at many other Mexican restaurants, and usually they'll at least double the chicken if they're lighter on the steak. If you're ordering this expecting to be full, just know that you may not be. I compared these pics to the video I took in 2023. In 2023, this meal also included a scoop of sour cream, a scoop of guacamole, and pico de gallo on the side. This time our meal didn't include any of this. Also, in 2022 the molcajete included two slices of steak. So I definitely stand by the value has definitely decreased over the years. Flavor-wise, everything was very good. I enjoyed the meal, but we did end up grabbing something small afterward because the portion was pretty light. With the slower service, I also didn't feel inclined to order anything additional or extend our wait any longer. The drinks were pretty good overall. We ordered a skinny margarita and a mojito. It did take quite a while for them to reach our table. The mojito was just okay, but the skinny margarita was honestly one of the best I've ever had. I was pretty shocked when we received the bill and saw an automatic 18% gratuity applied to a party of two. That felt very odd, especially since I was planning to tip more. It left a sour taste in my mouth, particularly because this was a Sunday night around 9:00 p.m. What made it worse is that this policy isn't posted anywhere on the website or on the menu. If management is going to charge an automatic gratuity for parties of two, that information should be clearly printed and visible. While the food was good, I'm rating this place three out of five stars. Between the automatic gratuity and food portions that didn't quite justify the price, the overall experience fell short. I understand that times are tough for restaurants, but as customers we're also paying close attention to where our money is going, and value matters. Skimping off the top and bottom is going to lead to a decrease in return customers. It wasn't my choice to come here, and I'm not sure I would choose to return on my own suggestion.
