"First time at this cute restaurant. The food was good and there were a lot of other great dishes on the menu! I went with simple French toast, eggs, bacon, and coffee. However, next time, I will be more adventurous and try a more unique dish! The service was friendly, quick, and making rounds on coffee topping. I was here early on a Thursday morning, and the restaurant started getting crowded as it got later. Overall, cute, clean, friendly, and a great place to eat breakfast, brunch or lunch! Update- 12/26/2025 returned to this place and ordered their chocolate chip pancakes, and the hubs had a Burrito Desperado! He said the burrito was perfect, lot of veggies and peppers with a wonderful, smokey Adobe sauce with just the right hint of spice. My pancakes were delicious. Highly recommended 👌"

"This tiny Cafe with a Latin I spired menu is a hidden gem in the Evanston residential district just west of Northwestern University. The food is almost all Latin based, but with a few gringo dishes available too. Skirt Steak Benedict, Dress Hermanos eggs, or my go to Huevos Nortenos are all fantastic. The place was not busy on a Monday morning, but several customers were enjoying breakfast. The staff was right on our needs, coffee was excellent, food service was fast, and the portion size generous. Not being a native of Illinois or the greater Chicago metropolis, this is definitely a place to which I want to return. Muchas Gracias Ovo Frito!"

"Great 🇲🇽 food! Friendly service but wish we weren’t so rushed before and after the meal. Atmosphere crowded and possibly better to go when not a weekend!"

"When looking at restaurants near by this one offers a great meal for the value, great atmosphere and efficient service. Not upscale food but innovative presentations all around. Happy to eat here. Around 30/pp (tip included)."

"Stopped by Ovo Frito to check it out with my date and was pleasantly surprised with how great it was! Food was delicious, service was exceptional and it’s in a nice location to take a stroll and get some sunshine on a sunny day. My company and I really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back!"
