"The decision to have brunch at Dell Rooster in West Town is always a good one. This isn’t just because the all-day Latin American restaurant has great food (and it really, really does) but because it works for all sorts of situations. Yes, the oxtail sitting on fried sweet plantains is an example of a shared plate that shouldn’t be shared, the chilaquiles are always crispy, and the dulce de leche pancakes are delightfully sweet. But the space is decorated in cute chicken murals, and they play salsa music at a volume that’s still a vibe but doesn’t force you to scream across the table, which is always a plus." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
