A go-to for a hearty brunch in Evanston! Ovo Frito serves classic American diner style breakfast with a Latin American flare. They have everything from pancakes to French toast to Mexican staples like chilaquiles and huevos divorciados. It’s a bustling space with a bright atmosphere and quick service even when it gets busy.
I got Zinnia’s Spicy Chilaquiles, and the serving size was very large. There was a mountain of freshly fried tortilla chips with two eggs, your choice of salsa verde or roja, pepper jack and cotija cheese, and rice and beans topped with sour cream. The chilaquiles had a great spicy kick without being too overwhelming, and the salsa verde had a delicious flavor with a slight acidity. The chips stayed very crispy as well.
If you want a brunch that’ll keep you full all day, give Ovo Frito a taste!

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

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!

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!

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).

Delicious dishes, great service, cozy atmosphere, Julius Meinl coffee, and several delightfully unhinged egg-themed paintings on the walls. I recommend the “nest egg” and the French toast. No notes!

Stopped here on a visit from out of town and were pleasantly surprised. This place was fire. I got the chilaquiles and my wife got the corn flake French toast. Both were delicious and fresh. The chilaquiles were crispy cheesy and the sauce was authentic and just the right amount of spice (I got the green sauce). The French toast was crunchy and just the right amount of sweet. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area.

Ovo Frita is a bustling brunch spot with very warm service. The quesabirria was solid, with tender meat and salsa that packed quite a spicy kick. The French toast was a standout – crispy on the outside, rich with cream, and overall not overly sweet. A very satisfying brunch stop in Evanston.

I cannot express how delicious the food is here! My mouth just waters even at the thought of it. The service is excellent too. The waiters are always so attentive and friendly. Will definitely make this my go-to brunch spot whenever I’m in Evanston.

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!
