Bistro 18o

This place has really stepped it up in the past year in terms of service (and décor). If you didn’t like it when it first opened, you should give it another try. I recommend the bistro salmon.

I came here for brunch on Saturday with my gf and was expecting to have my world rocked after reading all the positive reviews.
The food isn’t bad, but it’s nothing to write home about either. They have a selection of sandwiches, pancakes and wraps, and most importantly for breakfast, OMELETTES! which are a fusion of Mexican cuisine and American favorites. They have cactus, chorizo, chilaquiles, etc. The concept is great, the execution was underwhelming. The eggs in my omelet were dry, the bacon didn’t seem freshly fried. They brought the food out literally 3 min after ordering, as if it was waiting for us before we came there. Plenty of bland sauce. The potatoes were pretty good, not gonna lie. Also for toast they have this butted white bread, the best part of the brunch. Coffee was ok, I’d say ⁶⁄₁₀ fyi bowtruss is now across the street now, if I come back I’d get my coffee there first

Best chilaquiles I have ever had! Also had the pancakes with rompompe… yum. Great service and cute atmosphere. Large menu. I plan to come back and try everything.

Words can’t begin to explain how happy I am I found this place. The service, food and prices are why this place is now on my favorites list. The food is absolutely amazing! You have to try the carne Assad platter. The steak was grilled to perfection and go well with the rest of the dish. This plate is filling enough whereby you can have room for dessert. The ice cream crepes with the Nutella inside were just too good. I live up North but this place is totally worth the drive. I can’t wait to go back! :)

My sister chose this spot for lunch today and I’m glad she did! I love exploring other neighborhoods and we were looking for a place to eat before heading to the museum.
As soon as we entered the guy (I’m assuming maybe he was the owner) was Sooo sweet. He showed us the menu and highlighted a few items. My sister and I went with the el carne platter. Vegetables were very fresh, steak was cooked well, and the avocados were delicious! My mom had some sort of seafood platter and was raving about it.
The restaurant is really cute, the prices are reasonable, and the service is excellent. Will definitely be back soon!

Bistro 18o? I don’t get the name, but I can dig the food.
I ordered the al pastor wrap with a side of chorizo potatoes. The wrap was nicely balanced and the meat was so good! The chorizo potatoes were also delicious, but I was a little too greasy. This would have been a good hang over meal. All the other menu options look great too. Too bad I don’t live in the neighborhood so I won’t get to try it all!
This place is close to perfect, keep it up!

The food is amazing… high quality ingredients, great ambience to the restaurant and awesome service. You can tell the chef/​staff really take pride in their establishment. I would recommend the steak breakfast sandwich but I’m sure everything on the menu is just as good. I will definitely be back :)

Very, very well executed breakfast. Coffee’s just so-​so, but the food more than makes up for it.

Fantastic breakfast — very authentic and fresh ingredients. The huevos rancheros were so good. We were visiting Chicago and saw positives reviews on Unilocal — glad we chose it. Will definitely come back.

Fiancée and I both had excellent burgers with Oaxaca cheese. I had fries and she had sweet potato fries. Delicious, can’t wait to go back. Great service and prices too.

With places like Dusek’s and Azul18 on the block, you’d think Pilsen’s 18^th street was plentiful in the Brunch department. Wrong. I thought I was doomed for a brunchless future living here in Pilsen until we were recommended to visit Bistro18.
Bowtruss coffee, amazing crepes, even better omelettes. Potato hash was just okay. Five star service. Really great location. Can’t wait to come back to try a burger!

Awesome place. The burgers are sublime with unusual toppings (the place describes itself as a «Latin American Grille»). I had a burger with an egg on it but don’t remember the name. Awesome chill and laid back place to get some brunch!

We went here for brunch. Very charming little place. Man, it’s like a weird. I definitely felt this to be more Latin American than American. I got an omelet with some iteration of Spanish mixed in it (embarrassingly, I took a few Spanish classes back in the day) and it was great. It was spicy with some kind of pepper and ground meat. My wife got a bacon omelet and a blueberry smoothie, which was fresh and unsweetened. The only reason I didn’t give this place 5 stars is that I wouldn’t exactly go out of my way to eat here. It was a good experience and I know it exists in case I need a bite while in the neighborhood.

Everything about this restaurant was outstanding! except the coffee it was okay (I’m big on coffee, so –1 star). I took an order of rompope french toast to-​go for a picky eater who couldn’t join me at the restaurant and they said it revolutionized french toast forever. Also no food coma after, portions are perfect.

This was my second time and it was just as good as the 1^st time. Food and service was excellent. I will be back for sure.

This is another hidden gem on 18^th Street. You might miss it on days they forget to put the menu board on the sidewalks. Great spot for breakfast or lunch, and one of the few places to find pancakes on the strip.
Amazing Latin twists to American favorites, like Rompope French Toast… Sort of an egg nog battered treat. Or 18^th Street Omelette, packed with chorizo, oaxacan cheese and onions.
I hear the burgers are good to but that will have to wait until the next trip. Cozy atmosphere with small tables and Mexican movie posters adorning the walls. A little pricey for daily meal but add the attentive help and you’ve got a winner!

I had passed this place many times when walking around Pilsen, but I finally stopped for the first time this past Saturday. I really admire the sign/​signs that they have outside of the restaurant that profiles some of the menu. I came solo around brunch time. My waiter (who looked like he was 15 or 16 at most) was very attentive and seemed like he really enjoyed his job. He helped make my first experience here a very positive one. I opted for the Huevos Rancheros for brunch. The dish came with two eggs, breakfast potatoes, tender pieces of pork, and tortilla shells. I liked that the breakfast potatoes, and pretty much the whole dish was non greasy. I liked the sauce, but I wish it had been a tiny bit spicier. I think it needed more of a kick to it, but maybe that is just a personal preference. This place has a pretty large menu, and also several vegetarian options for people seeking non-​meat options. Their burgers sounded good. I probably will try one of those next time.

Loved the place… It’s byob and I ordered the pecado al pastor salad which I was surprised to find it was spicy… I love spicy food! The food was great

Well first off they need air conditioning, and the staff is… hard to deal with. The only menu item they got correct was the water and we paid for things we didn’t ask for. So we were trying to be polite and make things less difficult by just eating what they gave us.
In spite of not saying anything, we just didn’t give a good tip. After we left I realized I left my jacket at my seat, so I went back 5 min later to find it missing and no one knew where it went, so I stood outside for a little bit on the phone when she came outside and threw my jacket at me.
I hate this place
I really hate this place

Cute and simple. The «tea party» description is fairly accurate, plus a little bit of old school (but not hipster) funk.
I loved the ornate cups our coffee and tea came in. Went for my birthday brunch and ate hearty meals that were worth their price. I hate a plate piled so high, I’ll only eat half. I also hate plates so bare, I know I’m stopping for a snack on the way home. This was just right!!!
Plus it actually tasted great! And you can tell by the flavors it’s fresh and homemade.
BYOB! Enjoy small cactus planted in mini vintage pickup trucks, huge windows, funky artwork.
Love it. Will return.
