El Guapo's Top Picks

Toast

746 W Webster Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

Four Sombreros <^> <^> <^> <^>

Their egg dishes are savory, but what they’re really known for are their sweet dishes. If you’re in the mood for pancakes, try the lemon poppy seed. Unreal good. If you’re in the mood for French toast and gluttony is one of your pastimes, go for the French toast orgy — it’s three slices of French toast filled with strawberries, chocolate, Marscapone and then topped with syrup, honey, yogurt, granola and fresh berries. It’s about 8000 calories of pure heaven!

Egg Rug

This rug is making me hungry. It too gets the illusive four sombreros <^> <^> <^> <^>

Nookies

1746 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60614

Bueno!!!! Four Sombreros <^> <^> <^> <^>

Another place that typically has a long wait, but the food here is worth it.

Omelets here are out of this world. Get the Santa Fe scramble with egg whites and a side of hash browns. It’s humongous. If you finish it, I’ll give you a high five.

Ann Sather Restaurant

3416 N Southport Ave, Chicago, IL 60657

Three Sombreros <^> <^> <^>

Meh…the food here is nothing to write home about. Typical egg dishes, etc. But, honestly, the main course is kind of irrelevant…

What’s awesome about this place, however, are the side dishes that come with every meal. You get to choose from an array of carbo laden delicacies, but EVERYONE gets the cinnamon rolls. You get not one but TWO giant rolls slathered in white frosting deliciousness.

Salt & Pepper Diner

2575 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

Three Sombreros <^> <^> <^>

Pretty much your typical diner fare, you won’t find anything too interesting on this menu. But, wait for it….here comes the awesome part. With any egg dish on the menu, they’ll allow you to substitute poopy toast for awesome pancakes. (Yeah, radical!!!)

Bring cash. This place doesn’t take plastic.

Wishbone Restaurant

3300 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60657

Two and a half sombreros <^> <^> <^

This place is good if you don’t mind waiting in line for like an hour (hour and a half on Sundays) to get seated.

What to eat? It’s hard to go wrong here, unless you order the breakfast burrito, which I rate a 62 out of 100 on a scale of one to awesome.

If you want a breakfast burrito, go across the street to Waterhouse. If you want anything else, like crunchy French Toast (yes, it’s delicious) stick with Wishbone.

Waterhouse Tavern & Grill

3407 N Paulina St, Chicago, IL 60657

Two Point Five Sombreros just because they have good b-fast burritos <^> <^> <^

Go here when you’re tired of standing in line to eat at Wishbone. It’s across the street from Wishbone and the breakfast burrito is surprisingly VERY good. Probably one of the top seven in the greater Chicago area.

Clarke's Diner

2445 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

Dos Sombreros <^> <^>

Breakfast for Dinner anyone? This place is open late for the all the drunkies who need their fourth meal and can’t find a Taco Bell in the vicinity.

Glenn's Diner

1820 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL 60613

Where Jerry Seinfeld would go if he lived in Chicago. This place has 25 cereals on the menu to choose from including Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Reeses Peanut Butter Puffs! Hot Damn! If you like cereal, then this place is four sombreros.

However, if you’re over the age of nine and you want bacon-y, egg-y deliciousness you’re out of luck. — two sombreros <^> <^>
