Ovo Frito Cafe

This is a surprise alternative for eating out gluten-free.(Meals are made with corn tortillas. But they don't have gluten-free bread.) The food is yummy! And how many different people can come to serve you in a joint this small? A shockingly high number. They have Jarritos to go with the meal, too. I took my teen to brunch for his birthday and he wasn't disappointed - teen boys can eat a lot, and he was stuffed. An enjoyable experience.

This is the best breakfast place in Evanston. The environment is casual, with attentive and friendly service. Notice that all the art work on the walls are about eggs (very cute). The sweet breakfast options are extensive and delicious (I have had many of them). The marscarpone and whipped cream served on the side of most of the sweet options are worth it alone! The bacon is thick, crispy with just enough fat for deliciousness. My wife needs to have gluten free food and almost all of the savory selections are GF, so she also loves this place. Lastly, they serve Julius Meinl coffee, which is from Vienna and it is our favorite coffee, smooth and robust. I highly recommend!
