Chica has been around the corner from my apartment for several years now and I'm so glad to see they have taken root on the neighborhood.I had my first coffee from here today which has cinnamon and some other magic in it, and basically I'm never going to Starbucks again.Tomorrow I plan to try bacon and egg breakfast tacos and a shrimp mexi-bowl with cucumber and escaveche for brunch.If their food is anywhere as good as their coffee, I will be adding a fifth star..To be continued...Part 2I planned to have the bacon & egg tacos but due to a shortage they have been taken off the menu for now.Ultimately I decided on the vegetable tacos. These robust babies are stuffed with huge chunks of grilled vegetables, beans, scrambled eggs, and cheese, plus Tapatíos. Off the chain yummy!!Also ordered the Diablo shrimp bowl with half salad half Spanish basmati rice. The shrimp was grilled perfectly and the red sauce is lick the bowl tasty. Must order extra on the side next time.Overall, I was very happy with my meal and I will definitely be ordering from here again very soon.Parking is challenging, but after circling the block, a spot can usually be found within a short walk.

It took me so long to check this place out-- it's in a funky location with limited parking and very limited seating. Perfect for take-out. All that said, this place delivers where food is concerned. So, get there as they open if you wanna eat in. Anything you order will probably be delicious but, what I've had is the linguiza and potato breakfast tacos (flour tortillas, comes with delicious black beans, and scrambled eggs of course--more like a breakfast burrito-- except it comes with with two). So good. Ask for a side of pico de gallo.

Not the biggest menu, but everything is really good! Perfect chicken and waffles! Great spot!

They are super nice people. The food is clean and tasty. My only complaint is they don't wash dishes and use to-go containers. really an excellent place. My iced Horchata coffee was amazing. And the bowl perfect. Try it!

I love this place. The food is seriously amazing, the staff is great, and it's locally owned. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. I lived a block away for 4 years and can't remember a time I have ever been disappointed.

My gf and I had our eye on this cute spot since the move, it was so good. We've gone there multiple times now. A pretty hole the wall place that does not disappoint! The food is served quick and people are nice. The chilaquiles and horchata iced coffee is a great breakfast combo.

Holy mother of god this place is SO GOOD! Ordered takeout for lunch, got a Pollo Frito bowl with Mexi-Rice and mixed greens, pico de gallo, guacamole and their Chingona sauce which was a spicy chili garlicky mayo. Every element of bowl was delicious. The fried chicken thigh was so well seasoned and moist with the perfect crunchy exterior. Highly recommend! Can't wait to go back!

I LOVE Chica! The food is delicious, it feels homey and friendly! I would eat here every week (it's right in my neighborhood) but I struggle with the lack of eco-friendly containers and thus don't eat here very often. All the food is served in thick plastic takeout containers. I wish they would switch to more environmentally friendly options like compostable / paper containers. Almost all the other restaurants around have. I also wish that if you ate there, they would serve you in reusable plates and bowls. Besides this, LOVE Chica! Their carnitas are to die for and their weekend specials have me drooling just thinking about them.

Kind staff, yummy food! Only complaint is that they use single use, plastic to-go containers for every meal! I would so appreciate if they would switch to compostable materials as most plastic ends up in the landfill and give dine in customers reusable ceramic plates and wash them.
Excellent horchata (got the coconut dirty horchata). Fantastic vegetable medly and salsa verde, plenty of options for different diets including Vegan.

Chilaquiles do not disappoint! Can’t wait to go back and try more off the menu. The coffee menu is definitely unique. I tried the Coconut Horchata Coffee it was just the right amount of sweetness and flavor.

I'm so glad I found this spot! My partner and I are super picky with chilaquiles and these did not disappoint! Will definitely be returning! The coconut horchata coffee was delicious as well, not too sweet which I liked. We also tried the fried chicken torta. Can't wait to try more things off the menu!

Chica is still awesome. I just had an amazing chilaquiles lunch that totally hit the spot. They have a great pandemic setup for ordering in person, or you can order online. The food is as good as ever. Parking is always easy to find too.

This is a hidden gem for sure! This place came highly recommended to my boyfriend. So we decided to check them out out this morning. We arrived around 940, they open at 10am so we parked. Called at 10am, placed order. They said to give them 15-20 mins. Not even 5 mins after ordering and they already had a line of 3 different parties! So that gave us high hopes for the food being good. 1020am and the lady came out to our car to give us our food. We went home, upon opening.. I ordered Red Chilaquiles with Carnitas. My boyfriend ordered Steak & Eggs. Red Chilaquiles, came with red sauce, tortillas, fried eggs over easy, & lots of queso fresco. They were so yummy! Tortillas crispy! Eggs cooked perfectly, sauce good (wish it was spicy!) Steak & Eggs was a huge portion, came with steak & fried eggs obviously, yellow rice, black beans, guacamole, red tomato like salsa (not spicy at all) & corn tortillas! My boyfriend liked it. Just wished the steak was thicker like a traditional NY steak, instead it was like a thin flat piece of steak but seasoned very well!! This place was really good, they also have SO MANY drink options from Jamaica black Iced tea with lemonade to dirty horchata & freshly squeezed lemonade mmmmmm! I'll def be trying their drinks and another food item next time I visit. Highly recommend!!!
