It started in 2008 as a small juice shop in the Logan Square "Megamall," opened by former Zephyr manager Rosemary Lucas and business partner Teresa Zepeda, before growing into a full Oaxacan restaurant in this Uptown spot -- tlayudas, tamales oaxaquenos, and mole enchiladas alongside the juice-bar roots.

The chilaquiles with steak and eggs are the order that turns a quick breakfast into a real sit-down meal.

It's held a Michelin Bib Gourmand for four straight years and landed on the New York Times' "36 Hours in Chicago" list, and the oatmeal shake has become an unlikely signature order. The chilaquiles get singled out repeatedly -- rich green salsa, properly fried chips, customizable with steak, chicken, or chorizo. No reservations, but there's a shaded outdoor patio and an efficient seating system that keeps the no-reservations policy from feeling like a real obstacle.

Over 650 Yelp reviews and a 94% Facebook recommend rate back up the reputation. One review notes no beans on the menu despite being Mexican-adjacent cuisine Closed Wednesdays.
