Dropped in after an apartment viewing in the neighborhood, wanted to check out the local cuisine. This place was lovely! Wonderful staff, great food, reasonably priced, nice atmosphere (lots of plants), adorable mugs. They only accept cash, but there are plenty of nearby ATMs just in case you haven't enough dough on you. Definitely plan on going back and trying all the various menu items read more

The staff is the best, they are so friendly and make you feel right at home. The chilaquiles are wonderfully crunchy, and the homemade hot sauce is unreal. This place is real local gem and I have a feeling I'll be back every weekend. read more

My wife and I came here 2 times for breakfast during our 4 day stay. The food is fantastic and so is the staff. Great local feel and was right down the street from our airbnb. Next time we are in Chicago I will be trying the pancakes here. This is a must visit when you are in the Pilsen neighborhood!!! read more

I live around the block so i often come here with my friends. The food is always delicious, especially the fresh juices and homemade soups. I always get their chilaquiles with chorizo with a side of their pozole on weekends. I especially love the very friendly and welcoming staff. They make ya feel like you're coming over to your families home for breakfast! The food is great but it's the staff that makes ya wanna keep coming back. read more

Was here yesterday for breakfast. At first I was skeptical to the breakfast special because I'm not interested in pancakes and have never been, but I had them. They were hands down the best pancakes I've had with eggs and bacon. My lady had the same and she was just as excited as I was about the pancakes. The customer service was great, the ladies were fun and I hope to revisit this business again. I also had the chicken noodle soup which was good and it was on the House. read more

Our first time here and we will be back to try other times on the menu. The service was great, in regards to explaining menu items and attentive to us and everyone was friendly. I was pleasantly surprised they had cucumber water Gorditas were a good size and delicious. The chela Quiles were different but I enjoyed them. read more

Park View Diner - Chilaquiles con huevo - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

I eat here every once in a while during my lunch break at work. It's a calming place to get away and have a little time to myself. The staff is very friendly, and I feel very at home. Note that it is CASH ONLY, and there is no ATM inside. The food is delicious, and they make it right in front of you. They have a good selection of different drinks. They are very cheap, too, which is always good when on a budget, which seems to be more and more often lately. Anyway, this is probably my favorite diner in Chicago. Hipsters, stay away. Please don't ruin it. read more

When you walk in you feel like your in your aunts kitchen,thats part of the charm. I love the feeling. The menu is a basic fast food Mexican with a diner American flare. Clearly family owned and the main woman makes everything on the spot.They usually offer homeade caldo de pollo on the house and the delicious cucumber water (with free refill) is a reason to return. I did not enjoy the chilaquilles and was very dissapointed when I got soggy chips ,however ,everyone I talk to swears by them so maybe im just crazy lol. read more

Good food for great price, awesome service! Just moved to Pilsen a couple of months ago, this place is just a few blocks away. Never thought too much about it since the outside is just not that attractive, but decided to go on a Saturday mid-day, boy was I surprised. Their menu has traditional Mexican dishes, and also some breakfast dishes. not too big but done right. I had the eggs and chorizo with hashbrown, very yummy. Husband had the chilaquiles with eggs and steak, so good, the fried tortillas r nice n crispy, but not too greasy. All and all this is a great neighborhood place to go for brunch. We will sure come back! PS it's cash only. Make sure to bring cash. Altho it's so cheap that it won't break your bank! read more

I been wanting to try this place for ages since i live close by. Went there sat morning it had a few seats open the setting is weird and old school but in a good way. I order the chilaquiles con carne and the hubby order the spainsh olmelet. The chilaquiles were not what i expected and the flavor wasnt there for me. It is a great spot for breakfast i will go back and try something else from the menu. Service is great read more

This quaint, family-owned diner serves great food, but the highlight of my visit was witnessing why people love Chicago. The people made my short visit memorable, and the next time I get to Chicago, this diner will be on my list of places to stop. read more

I am a breakfast freak. By far my favorite meal of the day, and "the View"gets it right! You are always greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. The food is spot on. Made fresh to order, always cooked just right. You can taste the love in the food. You become a part of the family as soon as you walk on the door. Everything is great, but you must try the chilliquiles ( not sure on that spelling), come hungry and always get the free soup. Feeds your soul! I am fortunate to live five houses away, but it is worth the trip to Pilsen, the Parkview is a true gem!!! read more

We like a lot this place. It is small but they receive my husband, my daughter, my son with double stroller and I like if we were the only customers. I have to say that the portions are huge for us but so tasty while I am writing this I want to go and order the Spanish Omelet again. My husband that has Mexican roots order the chilaquiles and despite are not completely Mexican (He says it was kind of Tex-Mex) they were good according to him. The food is really good but the service should received 10 stars, so kind with us, with the children and the free soup and the free second glass of beverages was amazing. Some expensive restaurants in Chicago have to be like this friendly and welcoming with the customers. read more

Great place grew up next door. Fries are fire and the people are like family only thing that sucks is they close super early!

I'm so sorry to have to write this, but out of sheer principle, I must. See, I used to be a fan of this place. Until today, I was sending all my out-of-town guests here, and my husband and I loved the ambience & food. Naturally, it was the first place I thought to when I invited my Damen pink line CTA friend to brunch before her shift started. I ordered a quesadilla, & she ordered a chicken burrito. Her burrito barely had any chicken in it, but I sat there and raved on and on about my quesadilla. The chefs and owner (older, Latina) heard me from the kitchen and seemed delighted by it. So far, pretty good, right? So I go to pay while my friend visited the loo, and owner tells me I had two quesadillas. I calmly tell her I had only one. She yells back to the kitchen to ask in Spanish how many I had, and the chef holds up 2 fingers. The rest of this story gets pretty crazy. First thing she says after I say, again, "But I only ordered one, not two," was (with the most smug expression and tone) "But you *ate* two, right? And you liked them, right?" I was flabbergasted. Since when does the seller get to do the buyer's choosing on how much buyer wants to purchase? I was so confused! She proceeded to consistently talk over me, gaining more and more combative attitude as I continued to question her decision to give me two when I'd clearly ordered one. Funny thing is, she wasn't even combatting my actual order of two vs one, but rather, the fact that because I *ate* two, I must now *pay* for two. In her head, that seemed to be how it works, regardless of what a person ordered! At some point, I had given up the belief that I had eaten only one, and my main concern was *why.* Why would she try to manipulate me this way? She speaks and understands English more than sufficiently. There was no room for misunderstanding when I ordered. She was flat-out lying to me. However, she gave herself away with her first response to my insistence that I'd only ordered one with that smug comeback. Really??!! Yes, really, because that's not all. After she finally started in on the martyr tactic "Oh, you pay for one, keep your money, I sell to people all over the world, millionaires, rich, poor, but you keep your money, it's ok" (as if any of this was about *me* being miserly!), and I left with my friend (still tipped 20%, mind you), my friend tells me that she had done the same thing to her friend, who happens to be somewhat developmentally delayed. Unbelievable. Sadly, I won't be returning or referring any more of my guests to such a dishonest business person who clearly doesn't know the true fundamentals of business. read more

Love this place! My boyfriend and I stopped in here, very cozy place with super friendly and attentive staff. The barley soup is awesome, especially if you add in their homemade salsa! The owner is super friendly..he grows many of the ingredients and even his own peppers!! Love this place, we will absolutely be back!! read more

Best soup ever! This is such a nice cozy welcoming diner! The staff is absolutely amazing finding a staff so nice and welcoming is rare now days! I ordered the chilaquiles and they are delish! I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast and lunch. read more

This was a great find. We decided to stop and have breakfast before heading into the city for the day, so glad we did! The place was packed as there's only counter seating, but the owner was friendly and found us four seats. We had a wonderful Spanish omelette, chilaquilas with eggs. The serving was generous and most of all delicious. They serve a homemade salsa that was flavorful with just the right heat. Truly a great neighborhood place, friendly customers with talented staff manning the small kitchen area. read more

u ppl with great reviews r stoned! no fantastic flavors,no huge portions but definately big bill 4 lunch..2 unimpressive tacos,a very taste soup and a coke..over $9..keep driving,u WILL find better food and better price in the area read more

Well, this is a nice little family-run business. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Most of the menu is bilingual, being English and Spanish. The food is delicious. The menu has some "diversity," I guess you can call it, because it has some traditional things like pancakes and eggs and bacon. But there's also some Mexican food, like tacos. I like the dining area, it's a little wooden table and the staff serves their food to you in a very friendly manner. I like the way it makes you feel, it gives you a very old-fashioned feel. I would give it five stars. I would really enjoy it if there were more places like this. I would be so happy if this were a franchise or chain of restaurants. 10 outta 10, would DEFINITELY eat here again! (Seriously though, it's really good, if you're in the area, you should try it sometime.) read more

The food was fresh and very good. The service was even better, can't believe how many times I've driven by and never considered them. Wonderful little gem. read more

I stopped here for lunch once, seems like a cozy neighborhood place. My bowl of barley soup was filling and delicious!

Great cozy little mexican diner. Had a great breakfast of cheese enchiladas with mole and fried eggs. Fantastic. My wife got the chilaquilles (fried tortillas with eggs, cheese, lettuce, tomato & steak). Loved it, "best breakfast ever" she says. The home made salsa is great. Will go back. read more

Service was fantastic and my food (Spanish omelette with grilled jalapenos on the side) was soooo good. It was the best breakfast I've had in a really long time. read more
