Flo - Chicago

I have been coming here 15+ years since I first moved to the area, I would consider myself a loyal regular. Supported them during covid by ordering carryout when I could and since things have gotten back to normal back too going weekly and taking friends all the time. I wouldn't write a review but I was so upset after our recent visit. I brought a friend that was visiting from out of country and sat at the bar, the bartender who I think might be the owner, could not wait to get rid of us, after grabbing our plate she immediately gave us our check and then came back shortly and wanted to take it before we had even had a chance to look at it but obviously that was supposed to be a signal to pay and get out. My friend felt very uncomfortable and immediately gave her card so we could at least continue out conversation but at this point she came back with the processed receipt and literally asked us if we could take the conversation elsewhere as there were regulars waiting to be seated. Note there was no one waiting to be seated and there were empty tables. Its been years since I have been anywhere that treated a customer like this, it was very upsetting. I used to come here every weekend, even on my own without friends I would sit at the bar having breakfast, reading a book or news and not once was I ever treated this way. Well after many years now looking for my new favorite place.

We first discovered this place before the pandemic but waited to go until they had a full menu, including sopapillas, which are a staple in New Mexico cuisine. My wife and I both grew up in New Mexico and looked forward to eating some hatch green chili infused entrees. We went for lunch on a Saturday and asked for sopapillas and were told they don't make them until 4pm. Then we ordered a Green Chili Hamburger and Chicken Enchiladas with green chili. The Hatch green chili in both were not only very mild, but had no flavor. The food was not bad, just not good New Mexico food. Very disappointed. The menu is New Mexican in name only, unfortunately.

I lived in Chicago for about 4 months, and Flo was my neighborhood brunch spot. I visited at least 4 times, so I have no idea why I never checked in there! It always had a line out the door, so make sure to plan accordingly. They did have coffee and water available while you are waiting.

Stopped in here for Dinner last night with a coworker. Owner is from New Mexico and I'm from New Mexico so was pretty awesome to get proper delicious New Mexican cuisine in downtown Chicago. Soooooo delicious! Highly recommend! Yum!!!

Great TexMex brunch spot! Chilaquiles is my favorite brunch option and they do it really well! They also have really fast service!
