Avenida Peru

The Best Breakfast Sandwiches In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"We know we said that these need to have eggs to qualify, but many Peruvian breakfast sandwiches are eggless, and Avenida Peru in Belmont Cragin is too exceptional not to include. Like the pan con relleno. The combination of blood sausage, fried sweet potatoes, and pickled red onions is sweet, tart, and has a pleasant funk. Plus, it has a great airy and crackly texture from a bolillo roll. The only downside is that their breakfast sandwiches are only available Saturdays and Sundays from 9-11:30am. Even if you don't want to deal with anything at 9am, eating these sandwiches is like seeing your favorite band—you’ll want to get there early, and you’ll never want the moment to end." - john ringor, veda kilaru
