Reviews for Esencia Urban Kitchen in Chicago, IL
Cute little restaurant in Boystown. Ordered the breakfast tacos. Honestly, it was okay for me. It was average and nothing to... rave about. I've definitely had better breakfast tacos at other places. Staff and service was friendly and good. I'd come backto try other things on the menu. Read more
We had the torta, egg & pesto and salmon sandwich their regular drip and an americano because I'm not into the cinnamon in my... coffee, which means no refills. Everyone enjoyed the food, i understand the salmon was a bit overcooked but still good. Greatservice, with a smile. It's BYOB!! Read more
Esencia is one of the best breakfast and lunch spots in east Lakeview. The food is delicious, the dining area is bright and... light, and the service is polite and warm. (Especially worth noting: housemade baked goods, cinnamon-infused coffee, and thecubana sandwich) Read more
Great service. Their outdoor patio is nice. I think the poblano eggs could specier, but overall good taste. The biscuits were... good as well. Read more
Service was great, coffee is excellent with the added cinnamon but not overdone, and the 4 different dishes we had were great.... We were only in town for the week and ended up eating here twice. It's cozy and can fill up quickly but we loved it! Read more
A cozy cafe to read and work. I went for a brunch and being vegetarian I could only have hibiscus enchiladas but it was worth... it. Staff was really nice and they were cognizant about my dietary restrictions. everything was really nice. Highly recommend Read more
Walked in and was seated right away! Great food- I got the Lemon Ricotta pancakes and they were very satisfying. Light, fluffy... and a crisp edge! The flavor itself was awesome reminded me of home cooked food. The coffee was incredibly delicious- infusedwith cinnamon (Latin American style) and don?t worry, the refills kept comin! This place is perfectly quaint and unpretentious.It seems to be a small team, but the service was 12/10!! Will be back to try more! Read more
The Chilaquiles Verdes are delicious!! Hands down some of the best Chilaquiles I?ve ever had. Tasty, with a hint of spice, and... more importantly, super crunchy! Also comes with a side of rice & refried beans. Highly recommend!! Read more
