This is a great brunch spot if you go to CDMX. I do recommend going to it earlier in the morning before it gets packed. They have a good amount of outdoor sitting and from what I saw most people sat outdoors. They were very busy when I went. I tried their chilaquiles and they were good. However my favorite has to be the concha de chocolate. It was the best concha I have ever had (and I have had many). I only gave it 4 stars because the bathroom was clogged up. read more

I saw this on a blog and a couple in my cooking class highly suggested this place. Stupidly my friend and I came here forgetting we had a tour lol. We had to order to go. I got the chilaquiles with a side of chorizo and my friend got Avocado toast. We both loved our food. I wish we had time to sit and eat it but oh well. Even on a Tuesday this place is popular. I loved the vibe and atmosphere and I would come back here if in Mexico city. Must stop in! read more

Wow!! When in Mexico City, this place is a must!! It is dia de los muertos time of year, the dead bread is everywhere and especially good here!! The chilaquiles were good but the French toast was something special!! The service was good and they handled our lack of the language with kindness. Don't leave Mexico City without trying the French toast!!! read more

Mexico City has an abundance of fantastic restaurants to choose from, yet I couldn't resist a repeat visit to Lalo! The juices, coffee, pastries, and food are all out of this world. You get a sense of warmth from the friendly staff as soon as you step in, and the atmosphere is abuzz with energy with customers who are local and all over the world: even if you're solo, you won't feel alone while eating here. Do yourself a favor and do not turn down the pastry guy when he walks by with his tray full of awesome. There's an abundance of choices so whether you like chocolatey, fruity, cheesy, or plain pastries, you'll be satisfied with whatever you choose. Wonderful staff, a nice atmosphere, and superb food make Lalo! a standout for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or a quick caffeine fix. Highly recommended! read more

This is the place! Excellent food! Everything! We were a party of 7, and every single dish was made to perfection! The staff was professional, friendly, very accommodating! Anthony was our server and he exceeded our expectations! Highly recommended!!! read more

Highly recommend Lalo! We had to wait about 15-20 min to be seated but the place has a community feel with their long tables. I ordered the iced coffee and the avocado toast with arugula and egg and it was so delicious. They did run out of the pan dulce I wanted to try but the whole meal was very good. read more

Well it's ok, but I waited for a while after receiving my food for Utensils I asked several staff member before utensils were provided, also I never got the side dish in order. read more

Absolutely delicious! Came here for brunch on Saturday and it was definitely bustling! Fortunately we only had to wait 15 min or so and were serenaded by a small band out front during that time. We were seated at a communal table and immediately the waiter came around with a full tray of pastries for us to choose some! We tried the almond croissant, lemon cream filled pastry and maple pecan bun. They were all so delicious!!! For breakfast I tried the huevos with chorizo and French toast. They were both delicious and the French toast really blew us away! It was rich and decadent and the whipped cream on top was amazing. I also tried the green juice which was very refreshing! I loved the vibrant atmosphere and delicious food. The meal for 5 came out to just $60 which was another plus. Definitely check out this gem when visiting Mexico City! read more

Cute little restaurant with a large communal table inside. I went solo, and it was quite nice to sit at the communal table since I got to meet some new people. It's very popular, so expect a bit of a wait. I really enjoyed my huevos rancheros and French toast. Everything was delicious! The outdoor area has great ambience too. read more

My friend had passed this spot last time she was here in Mexico City and really wanted to come back. Disclaimer: I'm not a huge breakfast fan but she is. Really cute space, bright and colorful. Makes you in a good mood right off the bat. We walked in and got a table right away on a weekday morning. There's always one staff member who speaks English, so it was easy enough for us gringos. My friend loved her huevos rancheros, which I thought was better than the huevos quitlacoche. Thought it'd be more flavorful than it was, but alas. Coconut milk available no soy milk. Takes CC! read more

What a great place to come break bread with friends, family or your significant other Most tables are set up like one large community table, which is great, the staff is friendly and efficient. We started off with mimosas, then ended up just getting the bottle. There are so many delicious dishes on the menu that I couldn't decide what to get so I ordered 3 of them - chilaquiles - huevos rancheros - french toast everything was divine read more

No wait for a Wednesday morning. Since there was no porchetta at Maximo's my bf decided to try the sister restaurant. A lady comes around with baked goods. We got guava scone- crispy, just sweet enough a must try. For our meals we got: Chilaquiles Verdes with eggs, cream and avocado- a little spicy but all the ingredients went well together to deliver a flavorful dish. Also came w a tummy side bean dish. Lechon tacos- the lechon wasn't dry, came w a side of chili and corn tortillas. Another great dish that made up for no porchetta at Maximo's. Lalo's is a solid choice for breakfast. It was so good we ordered torta lechon to go. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

I was drawn initially to Lalo due to it's cute murals on the wall. The colors are so bright and the animals painted on the wall are so cute! We arrived before 1 PM and the servers let us know that the kitchen was closing soon. We ordered the acai bowl as an appetizer. It arrived with an icy smoothie with papaya, granola, almonds, and strawberries on top. The granola was sweet and delicious and the smoothie ice cold. Refreshing! I quickly ordered the croque madame and my friend ordered the chilaquiles. I hate beans, so I was happy to see that the beans were served on the side of the chilaquiles. The chilaquiles were crispy and the salsa verde was bright and delicious. I requested that my croque madame have eggs served over hard. I ate the whole thing in five minutes! The service was attentive. I probably wouldn't return because there are so many other places in Roma Norte to try but this place was cute and the food was quality! read more

Lalo was the best brunch place we ate in the city. The restaurant was crowded on a Friday mid morning and had decor that was very vibrant and fun. Start off with some cappuccinos, which were surprisingly good and not too milky. You must get their chilaquiles. It was the best chilaquiles I've had yet. It's also a very large portion so it's great for sharing! The pancakes are also a must order, especially with a group. It can be easily shared as a side dish and they were so incredibly fluffy, soft, and flavorful. I haven't had anything like it before. Their huevos rancheros are also very good. read more

I ordered the huevos con chile chilaca and a cappuccino. The huevos con chile chilaca was absolutely delicious and the perfect amount of food for brunch. It came with two runny eggs on top a layer of black beans and something that looked like salsa verde and caramelized onions. Cappuccino was good -- nothing out of the ordinary. There was no wait when I came (around 9:30 am on a Saturday, which is on the early side for Mexicans and brunch!). Lots of foreigners with suitcases, though some locals! They had some artisanal things for purchase at the back of the restaurant (ceramics, baskets, salt for mezcal, etc). These were a bit pricey though -- I don't know how they compare to market-value. read more

Meh. After a rather lackluster huevos rancheros and watery beans, I would say two stars is purely for the atmosphere. Huevos Rancheros ($7.50 USD). It's about 8 bites of food. Tastes ok, if you want a light breakfast, but that is not at all at the heart of what a "cowboy breakfast" is. I'll read the reviews for recommended menu items and see if I can bump it to four stars. read more

Our new go to spot for breakfast! There are so many places to eat in the Condesa/Roma area where we live while in CDMX, but Lalo has won us over. They have a menu with something for everyone, their chilaquiles are to die for. Chef Eduardo Garcia's sister restaurant across the street from Maximo Bistrot has got it going on! The service is great, the food is fresh and the place is charming. I love that you can watch everything being cooked as well as the prep. for Maximo if you watch the back of the kitchen. Garcia has a fine oiled machine, it is a pleasure to experience in every way. read more

Came here because of all the good reviews and was disappointed from how long we had to wait for our food and the service. And the fact they brought out each plate about 10-15 min from the first. We were a party of 3 seated first and next to us was a party of 7 that was seated after us and they got all their food quick and finished before we even had our plates. I also went to the restroom and when I came back the server had given my chair away to a new party that had arrived while I was using the restroom. Overall, the food was good. However, disappointed with the experience here. read more

Brilliant place. I happened upon Lalo! during a walk back to my place (from Máximo Bistrot!) in Roma with a friend who is a local. The open floor plan and poppy colors drew me in, and I found myself there for brunch the next day. When I say 'I found myself,' I really mean it. The incredible layered flavors of my huevos rancheros soothed my soul. And I hear the chilaquiles are even better. Next time. It's a hip, creative crowd (everyone looked like they were at some sort of project meeting) but a very welcoming environment. Please try Lalo!, you'll love it. read more

Beautifully done. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service is excellent. Fresh coffee and lattes. Pancakes and breakfast sandwich were phenomenal, as was the chocolate croissant. If you are in town, don't miss this place! read more

Pésimo servicio, se tardaron en atendermos y nos aventaron la comida. La comida muy rica pero la atención de los meseros del asco.

Lalo! is such a gem. My friends came into town to visit and we went straight here once they landed. we ordered the calamari to start off with and it was the freshest tasting calamari we had ever had. Will be back to try many more things on the menu. The staff was very attentive and the restroom was clean. The wall dry is unique and adds so much character to the quaint ambiance. *not pictured is the chocolate filled cookie type dessert we came across near the register while paying-highly recommend!* read more

Items Selected: House Coffee Vanilla Concha Guava Cheese Kouign Amann Apple Cinnamon Roll Chilaquiles Rojo Side of Beans Croque Madame French Toast with Blueberries and Cream Baked Ancient Grain Pancake with Nuts and Apples Originally omitted from the dining agenda as an intentional effort to not over-plan mornings, it was on the recommendation of a couple at Rosetta that Eduardo Garcia's casual Lalo! was slotted in for breakfast on Friday in Mexico City, the experience at Maximo Bistrot a good one, if not perfect, though the Chef's command of French influenced Mexican Cuisine was obvious. Featuring a lengthy and open design just down the way from its more formal sibling, the earliest hours generally seeing the cartoon decorated space playing American iHeartRadio hits empty save for a few diners and servers setting up for the day, it was at a tight two-top towards the interior end of a long communal table that seating was allocated just past eight o'clock in the morning, the House-blend Coffee quickly poured by one man just before another arrived with a selection of Pastries and Breads. No doubt a joyful space, an all-female team in the kitchen seen hand-extruding pastas and placing baked good on racks as the front of house greeted a few grab n' go diners with a handful of items up front, it was with three Pastries including a Concha that far outperformed the average by way of its Brioche-like base and poignant top-notes of Vanilla that the meal got started, both the Kouign Amann stuffed with Guava and Cream Cheese as well as the Cinnamon roll that ate like an Apple Fritter topping anything found at Ideal, De Silva, El Cardinale or Suiza for best breakfast Pastries thus far on the trip. Unfortunately turned off to Huevos Rancheros by the disaster at El Cardinale a few days prior, the version at Lalo! apparently highly recommended according to staff, it was instead with a plate of Chilaquiles in Red Sauce that the Mexican part of the meal ensued, the over-easy Eggs well-cooked with Yolks runny and whites springy over a pile of crispy housemade Tortillas atop shredded Chicken and fresh Avocados plus Sour Cream that was so light it seemed to have been dispensed from an ISI container charged with nitrogen. Quite fond of the tender Black Beans served on the side, the flavors of Citrus and Cilantro both prominent on the palate, rumors of Garcia's team producing a Croque Madame that rivals any in France were immediately confirmed by two crispy slices of Brioche sandwiched around a pile of Ham and Cheese beneath an organic Egg intentionally left runny plus freshly made Bearnaise Sauce. Acknowledging that some over-ordering had occurred, both the portions and richness of the food underestimated thanks to the low cost, 'dessert' at Breakfast entailed the same French Toast served at Maximo Bistrot topped in a quenelle of Whip instead of Ice Cream, the custard-laden center once again soft and moist despite an exterior that had cooked up golden while the baked Ancient Grain Pancake existed somewhere between a bowl of Oatmeal and a Souffle in terms of texture with apples adding just enough sweetness to make Syrup or additional toppings unnecessary. read more

Coming highly recommended, I made sure that I would take a worthy trip to Lalo! Famous for their chilaquiles con huevos, I made sure that was one of the first things I ordered. Very flavorful, and a fantastic example of what chilaquiles should be. The pancakes were also very good and moist, and the jam on top was a lovely addition. Arriving on a Saturday at 11:00, it was incredibly busy, but the wait was not too long. Service was slow, but understandable with the large amount of people, especially the multiples somewhat squeezed onto the center picnic table. While waiting for your food, waiters come around and offer a small selection of pastries. I tried the chocolate pistachio roll--very tasty and not overly sweet, and a good size for one person. However, though very tasty and the pistachios were a delicious addition, the roll pales in comparison to those tried before at Panaderia Rosetta. As a whole, I really enjoyed my experience at Lalo! The chilaquiles are definitely worth the hype, and the pancakes were quite nice, too. read more
