Flo

Another solid brunch option on the under-appreciated stretch of Chicago Ave east of Damen.  Flo's brunch menu has a mexican flare and consists of food you'd typically find at a Mexican Restaurant (think lots of chorizo, breakfast burritos, and dishes like huevos rancheros).  

The wait is usually reasonable and they serve free coffee to occupy your time (albeit w/o much of a waiting area).  But honestly, if you have to wait at all you'd be better off walking the half a block to Mexique.

Inventive New Mexican brunch options that I've never found outside of Santa Fe or a handful of more creative places in Albuquerque.

Try the Huevos Rancheros with green chile sauce instead of red and don't miss the burger with Hatch green chiles and a fried egg on top. Delicious.

Other highlights include the bloody marys, free coffee while you wait, often no line, and the fact that you can get single orders of their bacon and chocolate chip pancakes (and all the other awesome pancakes and French toasts).

They have great service and host. You get to drink free coffee while you wait. The bloody mary's were way too spicy. The food is just okay. I have had the cocoa crisp french toast - which I wished would have split with the table. The chilaquiles was essentially corn chips with salsa on them. We might give them another try...
