The line here is worth the wait! First of all, traditional decoration all over the place, but not like some fake places, but true Mexican. The place is packed in breakfast/brunch time, so either book in advance or be ready to wait 10-20minutes. Service is great and helpful, but if you speak Spanish they will go above and beyond, so you can try practicing if you know even a little bit! Portions are very big, and everything was great. Cafe de olla was good (and massive), the strawberry licuado was also very good, as well as the cajeta latte. They have plenty chilaquiles options, the mole ones were good but the divorciados (red and green) were very tasty and the sauces were on point. On the sweet side, the crepes with banana and Nutella are also a must! We will be back for sure!
Vegetarian options: They can make things vegetarian if asked
Parking: Plenty of street parking, all free.

Tried Twice. Once Long Hair Was Wrapped In My Chilaquiles. The Second Time My Egg White Were Undercooked. Yet They Said That's How They Sell Their Eggs. DISGUSTING!
My breakfast chilaquiles con mole were amazing !
Fresh juices !! The wait is pretty long but for the prices of the plates
I’ll wait .. the place is awesome and everyone is very welcomed

The poblano chilaquiles are my favorite. The liquados are pretty tasty as well.

I went for lunch with my mom & my son. “La Cátedra” the decoration lines up with its name. The paintings are colorful & vivid. I specially like the Michael Angelo, on the first floor ceiling it’s beautiful. And the many religious statues and paintings makes you feel you are stepping into la catedral of Mexico City. I must say, I was a bit disappointed with their food. I ordered chicken red sauce enchiladas. But the enchiladas were saggy and tasted more like chilaquiles. I would of like them crispy. My son ordered the turkey club, the sandwich was ok, but the pickle was very sad and out of date. My mother ordered the chicken fajitas, it was a generous portion. And she said, it had a good tasted. The horchata was very good. The agua de agua de jamaica, was also good. The cafe de la olla didn’t disappointed me. I must say, I never seen a menu that didn’t listed the prices of the items in the menu. The place is big 2 floors, it’s always busy. Parking, well it’s complicated, the near by streets are residential and I was told that I can park by 26th street. Which is about a block away. In front of the restaurant, on the entire block its no parking due to “loading zone” in my opinion it needs to be reserved for handicap parking. I have a handicap post, but no where to accommodate me.
The bathrooms, one for men & one for women. I was waiting to used the woman’s bathroom, when one of the employees told a man to go into the woman’s bathroom. When he come out the whole toilet was cover with pee. I was disgusting. And went to the cashier & told her. The bathrooms must always be clean. And I do mind if it says it’s a woman’s bathroom, I don’t want to used it, if a man goes there and pees all over. I hope the restaurant owners do something about the proving handicap parking and keeping the bathrooms for just the appropriate sex & clean. I will give it another try.
Parking: Parking is hard to fine no handicap parking

I recently visited this restaurant, a long-time favorite of mine. The decor is still stunning, but it seems like everything else has changed. The "famous" chilaquiles are no longer the same, and the salsas used in the recipes tasted old and stale. The cafe, the Olla, was disappointing as well. It feels like the restaurant is trying too hard to keep up with the competition by offering a generic menu.
I miss the authenticity and unique flavors that used to set this place apart. If you haven't been here recently, I'd suggest stopping by to see for yourself. First timer's beware, as the hype is really the only thing that's left.

Best Mexican breakfast I have ever had n I’ve been to Mexico a few times! I had the chilaquiles Asado n my cousin had Diablo and Green sauce. The asado was hands down the absolute best! I want to he here every time I’m in Chicago. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE COFFEE either. I’m not a coffee drinker but I’d drink that every single day.
