I highly recommend this place. We went for brunch. Seating is a community table followed by a presentation selection of yummy pastries to munch on while looking at the menu. Do not skip on this, really good carbs! My partner ordered the carnitas tacos, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! and I got some egg avocado omelette thingy with ant eggs, I wasn't a fan of it. Our friends also got huevos rancheros , which was delicious and something else I can't remember. Would definitely come back to try other things, one of our favorite spots to stop by in CDMX. read more

Super cute cafe in Roma (2 blocks from Mercado Roma). Stopped by on a Sunday morning for brunch and was impressed with all aspects of the cafe. We were greeted by either the owner or the manager who spoke English. We started with good coffee (tasted a bit like Stumptown coffee for those from the USA west coast) and a yummy glass of fresh squeezed orange and pineapple juice (my favorite juice combo). While we waited for our food to arrive, a nice lady came to our table with tray full of fresh baked pastries, who can say no to a warm croissant, some type of chocolate Mexico cake-like pastry, and a pastry with guava and cheese stuffing?! Finally, our brunch entrees arrived, a beautiful plate of French toast and berries and the Croque Madame. The French toast was perfect, sweet but not drenched in any type of syrup. The texture of the bread was crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside and the accompanying fruit paired nicely. The Croque Madame was huge and had perfect runny eggs atop a yummy bread and ham covered in a gravy that reminded me of biscuits and gravy. I recommend sharing this dish among two people if possible. Overall a great spot to get brunch in MX city. read more

This is Maximo Bistrot's cheaper sister restaurant. The menu has a variety of dishes from pizza and pasta, to American inspired sandwiches. I ordered the hearty bacon and ham pizza with a white base. It was nothing refined, but a cheesy meaty treat nonetheless. read more

Local expat took us here for breakfast. It legit! Fresh, sweet, savory and colorful. Food was excellent, both new and deconstructed approach to Mexica food and also a Mexica take on north of the boarder favorites. Wall art was very tasteful. Service was delightful. One long raw wood table graces the open area and welcomes all patrons to dine together. Overall environment was warm, friendly and just plain ol well done. Best chilequiles I've had- sauces were amazing. Hollandaise sauce was perfect. Pastas look amazing and Ill be back for dinner. Thank you Lalo! read more

I had seen a lot of good reviews saying this place was delicious and it was worth paying the price, however I had bad luck apparently, my breakfast, too salty and the oat and banana mix was too sweet, the staff was really friendly and changed the mix for me, but definitely it wasn't the experience I thought I was expecting read more

Best decision for hangover breakfast! Service is phenomenal and loved our Huevos Frito and Rancheros filled with complex flavored that didn't need to even ask for hot sauce! Didn't care much for the Guava pastry but loved the fact that the servers came around the table to offer you choices. Well rounded, met great stranger and all around good vibes. read more

I had the chilaquiles with a chocolate pastry and iced Cafe Americano. It was absolutely delicious. This place has all the standard Mexican breakfast fare you could ask for. And for the more adventurous visitors who aren't acquainted with some of the more exotic items from the Mexican kitchen, they also have eggs with escamoles, i.e. ant larvae. I was a bit wary, but I tried the dish and it was surprisingly delicious. I definitely recommend this place for visitors to Mexico City and Condesa neighborhood. read more

Delightful spot in Roma that's perfect for breakfast. The french toast was absolutely incredible although the side of bacon I ordered wasn't quite as good. I tried a bite of my friend's chocolate croissant which was also amazing. It's a little expensive compared to other restaurants in CDMX but prices are still very reasonable compared to the U.S. read more

My friend and I have tried four different dishes, and they've all tasted great. The main drawback has to do with the crowded space. We went on two different Saturdays around 11, and bailed because of the long wait. It's big, but very popular. The kitchen doesn't have much of a ventilation system, instead just heating us along with the food. They've added private tables in addition to the massive communal one reminiscent of a summer camp. read more

The food is good. The service is great from some of the servers. Others look at you like you asked them for their firstborn when all you want is a margarita. The burger is basically a heart attack in a bun. It was very rich. I thought it was ok. The ambiance is questionable hipsters at best. I liked the graffiti wall that looks like Lisa Frank dated a graffiti artist. The wall is their bastard love baby. read more

Oh man, I was nervous being a solo diner walking in and seeing that communal table. I got over it and I'm glad I did. Had an AMAZING cinnamon roll (well, half of one - took the rest home) and the chilaquiles with eggs. It was all perfect, and the atmosphere was great. Don't pass it by. read more

This place was quaint. The decor was minimalistic. The concha like bread was soft, the cream on the top was just enough. The bread in the egg sandwich was airy, moist and the ingredients were perfect. My tacos de barbacoa were delicious, the right amount of fat and meat ratio. The staff was attentive and ready to move your plates away. read more

Best breakfast in Mexico City! The Chilaquiles were incredible! My husband and I loved it so much we went back for lunch the next day!

I loved this place! Small hipster place eith hipster trendy cool laid back crowd. The chilaquiles are delicious! I am not a sweet tooth for breakfast, but you HAVE to order the french toast! It's amazing! read more

We were staying at an Airbnb right down the street and had to check this place out, as it came highly recommended. It was relatively uncrowded on a Thursday morning, so we had ample seating at the communal table. It was nice to have a view of the kitchen right across from our table. I'm not usually a fan of the communal table, but this one felt comfortable. I had toast con aquacate, with an egg on top. It was delicious. As was my latte. My brother got the chilaquiles, which was in a mammoth bowl. LOTS of food there. We enjoyed it. read more

We enjoyed an excellent breakfast here. We've become big fans of the chef now after enjoying meals at Maximo Bistro and here. We were greeted upon entry with a plate of pastries. We split a chocolate pastry that was delicious. The croque monsieur was decadent but maybe a bit too rich as it was covered in bechamel sauce. The huitlachoche eggs were good. The chef was generous with the huitlachoche. We will be back! read more

We had high expectations based on reviews in Monocle and Yelp but the experience was average at best.. Service was spotty.... we had to ask for water five times before we got some. The food was ok, not great. Not worth the hype. read more

It's true what they say about how delicious the food is in this restaurant. You can undoubtedly tell that the food is freshly homemade. We watched a worker making pasta and stuffing the ravioli from scratch. Highly recommend to eat here!!! read more

After a wonderful dinner at The Bistrot across the street we tried Lalo before heading to the airport. Hands down the best chilaquiles we've ever had. Served with a perfectly cooked poached egg on top and a side of beans. Perfectly cooked tortilla strips in a slightly spicy green sauce. Before the meal they brought by a tray of sweets; we indulged in a homemade cinnamon bun. Chewy, soft and warm. The service was prompt, serving all sorts of espresso drinks. read more

Such an amazing and cute restaurant in Roma Norte! We went here for breakfast. The decor is so bright and cute, with fun murals on the wall, and an open kitchen so you can see the chefs at work. There is a big communal table running down the center of the restaurant and two seat tables along the side and a couple of larger tables in the back, so plenty of seating and space. The service is great too; when you sit down, a waiter comes by with a tray of amazing pastries for you to choose from. Definitely recommend these pastries. I got this chocolate pastry that was amazing- super fluffy and chocolate-y but not overly sweet. We ordered cappuccinos and they were great too. We got the chilaquiles and the huevos con chorizo. I highly recommend both. The chilaquiles were the best I've ever had. The eggs were perfectly soft and a little runny, and the green Chile sauce was so flavorful and the perfect amount of spicy. The chips were also so crispy, even when sitting in the sauce for a while. And there was a light grating of cheese to top everything off. So perfect! The huevos con chorizo was delicious too. They cooked the eggs, chorizo, and potatoes together, so everything was super flavorful. They also come with 3 blue corn tortillas and a bowl of black beans so you can eat them as breakfast tacos. Lastly, we also tried their mandarin juice. It was honestly some of the best juice I've had. It was bright and packed with flavor and they added the perfect amount of sugar so it was sweet enough but not overdone. Overall, fantastic food and beverages and fantastic overall experience! read more

Loved our breakfast here. The food was authentic and delicious. It's a really busy place, and it gets crowded early. I highly recommend it for authentic Mexican breakfast. read more

The pan dulce (chocolate concha) is amazing and so are the chilaquiles! Don't miss the front cashier/manager with the beard, he is very cute too! read more

Love love love the chilaquiles and the French toast. This French toast might look like regular French toast, but it is the most delicious French toast ever. So incredibly soft/moist on the inside, but crispy on the outside. The cream on top was so fresh and the berries just made the fish absolutely perfect. MUST have breakfast here if you're in CDMX!! read more

Every time I get to go to Lalo I'm like a little kid going to a toy store. Usually when I find something great at a restaurant, I stick to it since I don't know if anything else can measure up. At Lalo, I feel the opposite. If I don't try something, I'm worried it's going to be the best thing. To just list a few I've had: - Chilaquiles - the biggest portion you'll ever see, and with incredible flavor. Comes with a nice side of beans to include too. :) - Scrambled eggs - this is simple, but so amazing too. Finding simple breakfasts in this city is an underestimated struggle. Comes with amazing buttered toast - Huevos con Chorizo - my current favorite. Tons of food with chorizo, avocado, side of beans, tortillas to make some tacos. Oof. - French toast - probably the best in the world. Comes with fresh whipped cream and fruit toppings. - Some baked eggs that I can't remember the name of but were crazy good. - Granola bowl - could barely finish it, and had all the fruits I've always wanted Coffee is also really good. Only been for breakfast obviously :) , but heard their later meals are also incredible. Just did a remodel of their seating arrangement and it's way better than before too. Way better for smaller groups and don't feel like you're sitting really far from people you're with. Great improvements! read more

You better get early in the morning to get there as it always get crowded after 10. waiting time around 30 minutes and no option for reservations. Food is great, a nice varied mexican menu with high quality ingredients. It has become a trendy spot so you will find yourself with a loud ambient. I would recommend to ask for a table near the outside of the restaurant. read more

We came here on a Sunday morning and it was packed. The staff has a great system to get you served fast and it worked. We had the french toast and fruit plate. It was a bunch of food. The coffee was great also. read more

Huevos con chorizo por MN $185 LALO!!! It's over priced for the taste and place. Much better places down the road. Like Cafe Toscano

You can't go wrong with breakfast at Lalo! There is something for everyone. Always busy and chaotic, you have to learn to share a communal table in order to get some of the best omelettes in town. We quickly made friends with a local who helped us choose the right menu items while simultaneously showing us which spots to hit up after. Great place for all types of breakfast food (including healthy and carb-loaded items). We also really enjoyed our fruit drinks and warm teas/coffees here. Only pain point is getting seats together with a large group. But it's doable! read more

Lalo! Is a great brunch option for any day. If you want more of fusion take to your classic Mexican come here and GET THE FRENCH TOAST! Chilaquiles and Croque madame were very very good too. read more

This place serves good food and good atmosphere! I came for breakfast and the food was very good. They offered us different breads and pan dulce and the beginningg and we ordered a vanilla cream pan dulce, which was very good!! I got the french toast and it was amazing!! It came with whipped cream and the berries on top were so ripe and delicious. Also, the chilaquile plate was very big... probably good for two people. A little acidic, but pretty good. I loved the fun look of the restaurant wit all the cute art on the wall. Although the seating is just one large table for all guests to share, it was fun and I didn't mind at all. read more

Came here one evening with coworkers at the last second. Soooo happy we did. The food was outstanding. We got a lot of different veggie dishes, appetizers...It was so unexpectedly tasty. Highly recommend! Need to go for breakfast now! read more

Wasn't impressed, and the service was not great. Definitely thought it would be a better experience based on reviews. Not sure I'd go back, although the breakfast did look delish. Cute spot however. Not sure I would recommend it tho. read more

Get the chilaquiles with eggs and french toast (one of the best I've ever had). Fantastic. Chilaquiles is a larger portion than you'd think. Latte was a bit bitter but still good. read more

Hipster vibe and totally worth the wait! The madame croque dish was phenomenal and it split it with a friend and was full. Looking around the chilaquiles are definitely a top choice but don't be afraid to branch out amigos! read more

We stopped into Lalo during a walk around Roma; sadly we had just missed breakfast but made it for lunch! The restaurant is super cute. I loved the decorated wall and the long communal table seems like it would be ideal for a group. I would totally recommend the squash blossoms filled with cheese and the grilled octopus...both were to die for! The sauces on both were delicious. The service was a bit slow at times but our food came out at a good pace. Next time (and there will be a next time!), I would love to try the chilaquiles everyone raves about! read more

Came in for Brunch around 9am on a Saturday. There were a bunch of open seats at the big communal table so we grabbed two. We were sitting across from a guy working on his computer which as a bit strange considering it was Saturday brunch. I guess that is the downside of communal seating. We both ordered the chilequiles which were good but really large portions and a bit too spicy for my very tame American palate. We did also get an amazing almond croissant - all of the baked goods looked amazing. read more

I stopped by Lalo! on trip to Mexico City back in August based on a friend's recommendation. Great food with an adorable space and quality selection of menu items. I ordered an acai bowl and a latte, and could not resist the sweet breads they brought around in typical fashion. Everything tasted amazing and service was good. I'm definitely planning on making a return trip next time I'm in the area! read more
