Cherubs

This is the type of place that someone would either walk in and call totally ghetto, or really really cool.  The original decor is Mexian-themed, but the furniture is quaint, comfy, kinda mismatched...but I think it's really cool.  They don't serve a lot of variety in food, but the atmosphere is really neat.  It's my new favorite hole-in-the-wall type place.

Food: I recommend the paninis.  YUM.  And the homemade churros.  Haven't tried the other stuff yet.  I'm not a huge sandwich person, but I really was impressed by the paninis.  Free wifi, cute fake fireplace...I mean, come on.  This place is cool.  I drove past it a million times and wish I had decided to check it out sooner.  It's probably one of the lesser known cool coffee shops in the area - you probably don't have to worry about it being too packed with college students studying...though if they find out, I would be happy if they started packing out the place.  I would study there!

Four stars just because of the sweet lady who owns the joint!  Very good sandwiches.  Atmosphere is very weird and a little sketchy.

Like the reviewer before me, this review is for their Logan Square Farmers Market stand where they offer $2 tacos and elotes (and if you don't know what one is yet, you've got to come on Sunday and try one!), and $3 horchata. The tacos are great - simple, full of flavor, and just like you would get at your favorite taqueria. The fact that they work so fast, serve such good food, and such affordable prices - well, it's no surprise the line is always so long. When you add music, a lot of grassy, shady areas for people to sit with their friends and families - it makes a perfect day at the market. Check them out. I've never been to their location on Fullerton, but as long as they're at the market, they have my $$ every Sunday!
