    Healthy Omelette + Turkey bacon
    Antonio S.

    Excelente food and service, very quick. Chill ambiance good coffee. Huge portions, definitely I'm coming back

    Breakfast Tacos
    Sam L.

    Came here on a saturday with four other friends. Wait time wasn't too bad, about 20 minutes. Nice lively vibe, super friendly staff, great food. I got the breakfast tacos and enjoyed them. Tried some of my friend's chilaquiles and was a big fan of those as well. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for brunch in the area!

    Stopped in for breakfast on a Monday and feel like we got lucky that it wasn't crowded. If you've been sleeping on this place you've made mistakes. My food was fresh, quickly prepared and super tasty. The atmosphere feels like a true neighborhood family diner space and I really liked that vibe. It's not overdone and the bathroom was cute and clean (which is important to me!)

    Crepes (Pecan + Banana + Dark Chocolate)
    Natalie G.

    My friends and I came here looking for a spot to eat last minute, but honestly I am so glad we ended up coming here on a whim! Immediately as we walked in, the service was great. The staff members were attentive and friendly the entire time we were there, constantly checking in and making small talk to us. We definitely felt very welcomed and acknowledged since the start. The restaurant itself was so cozy and "home" feeling. Everything was just so vibrant and colorful as well, making you feel very welcomed by the decorations and style of the restaurant. The food was amazing. We all got different items, but my meal in particular was the crepes. They were the pecan + banana + dark chocolate crepes, and they tasted delicious. It wasn't too sweet, and the pecans added a nice touch as well. While my friends got more savory options, they also said that they really enjoyed their meals (molletos + chicken and waffles were their meals) I will definitely be coming back to try some of their other options, but overall this place is definitely worth it, and you will be paying a reasonable price for some good quality homemade fusion food!

    I came here for breakfast on my birthday and it was a good decision. I was with my husband and my two picky eaters 14 and 10. They wanted a more traditional American breakfast so they split the Hungry Man special. Prices were very good for the quality, portions were generous, and we will be back!

    I kid you not these were best breakfast tacos of my life (and I've been to Texas). And the chilaquiles were some of the best I've had stateside. I will no longer say chicago doesn't have good Mexican food after coming here. Unfortunately the cafe de olla was a bit disappointing. But the horchata was bomb. Also they were super accommodating. We were eating outside but there were tons of bees so they let us move inside with our baby. They made room for our car seat and allowed us to store our stroller in the back.

    Strawberry orange juice

    Finally tried this place for brunch on a Sunday morning. Even though we arrived at 10 a.m. we had to wait half an hour to be seated, although we were initially told the wait was only 10 minutes. There were some crumbs on my chair and some sticky stuff on my friend's chair, which wasn't great. The menu is extensive. Service was friendly, though maybe a tad slow. I got the strawberry orange juice (good and I loved the straw), blueberry pancakes (very good), and a side of sausage (also very good). The value was great considering what we had. I would go back here again but can't say it's worth a half-hour wait. I mean the pancakes were good but not life-changing.

    Cinnamon pancakes and chorizo tacos.
    Laura J.

    Um YES! Best corn tortilla I've ever had (and I lived in Austin). Cinnamon bun pancakes were delicious with and without the topping. We. Also loved the chorizo tacos. We were standing in an endless line down the block and finally said let's try Pastores and so glad we did. Extra points for the very warm welcome compared to the pricier, slower place down the block.

    I got the Hungry Man - two eggs, bacon, sausage, house potatoes, two pancakes upgraded with cinnamon brown sugar and icing. Friends got Hawaiian roll breakfast slides and eggs Benedict. For the most part, our food was standard diner quality breakfast food which is not a bad thing. Potatoes were soft but not seasoned enough. I don't recommend the Cinnamon bun pancakes. The icing was not even icing. It was a strange, grainy, bland sauce. Service was good. Waiter very nice and engaging. Their prices are very reasonable and probably a dollar or two cheaper than most breakfast places

    Chicken and waffles!
    Crystal C.

    This places made me feel like home! What kind servers and the music was AMAZING as a latino myself. The food was incredible, so so flavorful and there was so much variety. Authentic hispanic food but also a hit with the classics. I went on my birthday and it was such a treat!

    Delicious conchas, an avocado cucumber smoothie, and some amazing cafe de olla!

Less than a mile away is PQM and Breakfast Club in opposite directions. I brought my wife and young daughter there. We were placed at the heart of the restaurant. I earnestly feel that the staff was playing a game of who can bump the chair the most. If it were one, two, or even five times I would chalk it up to servers hustling to get people their food. But it didn't stop at 5. After we hit 10 times that a server had run into my chair, I literally had to move furniture behind it. And this was after I had put my backpack on the back of a chair so there was no way that it was them. Simply not seeing me. I will never again go back to this location of waffles so long as I live. Quite frankly, do yourself the service joining me.

There was a line out the door! But luckily I didn't wait too long - maybe 20 minutes. They show you their weekly specials by sharing photos of the dishes on their iPhone. It's nice to see exactly what each dish looks like right then and there. To start, we split the salmon croquettes, and I wasn't expecting them to taste so home-cooked - It tasted like something my mom would make. The order only comes with two, but I could have easily eaten more than that! The french toast flavors were lemon, blueberry, strawberry, and brown sugar - absolutely incredible. I remembered the lemon one from my last visit and probably should have asked if I could get all lemon. I can't believe how much it tastes just like lemon cake! Strawberry was my second favorite. The catfish filet was also well seasoned and fried perfectly. Can't wait to be back!

On a Saturday morning around 11am there was surprisingly no wait but I also think we got the last available table inside. Note here that they do offer outdoor seating. Anyways, we sat smack dab in the middle of the restaurant and got to observe a lot. After sitting a young lady brought waters over to the table. I asked her a quick question but she noticeably had AirPods in and didn't respond. I was just looking for the bathroom but I found it myself. It was clean and well stocked. Our waitress was nice. Attentive and present. We ordered the 2+2+2+2 and a Moons over Miami sandwich. The food took less than 10 minutes to arrive and everything was very hot. My mom and I both enjoyed our breakfast. I personally really enjoyed the French toast. I thought the portions were filling. At the end we were asked if we'd be paying by cash or card. A ticket was never presented but we were just verbally told an amount. I thought that was kind of odd. We chose cash because you get a discount. We asked again what the total was and she again just verbally told us and then took the cash. We had exact change but I still think it was weird to not have a visual. Overall, this was a great meal and an overall good experience. I'd add this to your list of breakfast spots to try in the area.
