Un Amor
8.3
A West Town Latin brunch spot where burritos feel like composed plates—rich proteins, bright acids, and well-balanced sides instead of a generic wrap-and-go build. It’s best with a reservation mindset and a shareable table so you can split one burrito-style main plus a sweet centerpiece. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

7.9
Savanna Restaurant in North Center is a daytime cafe where the breakfast burrito and Choriburrito anchor a wide brunch menu. It’s less a Mexican specialist than a place to get a hearty, customizable burrito in a bright, family-friendly setting.
Must-Try Dishes:
Breakfast Burrito, Choriburrito, Breakfast Torta
What Makes it Special: Brunch-focused cafe where breakfast burritos and Choriburritos lead the savory side.
A morning-to-midday Mexican café that’s chilaquiles-first, with a menu built for repeat breakfast and lunch rhythms rather than big-night dining. It shines when you lean into the house strengths—one chilaquiles plate, one coffee, and you’re done before the order gets too ambitious.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chilaquiles verdes, Birriaquiles, Cafe de olla
What Makes it Special: A chilaquiles-driven café that nails the breakfast lane.
