Where To Eat For Under $10 In Mexico City - Mexico City - The Infatuation

"Chilpa started as a tiny restaurant and quickly expanded into a much larger operation that’s open seven days a week for breakfast and lunch. A small $7 order of chilaquiles is enough for a full meal, and our go-to is half salsa medio picante, half muy picante, with a fried egg on top for an extra $2. (You can also add suadero for a few more bucks). Every order of chilaquiles comes with a fresh sourdough roll—make sure to save it for the end to polish your plate clean. There’s plenty of seating on the sidewalk, but if you want a more scenic backdrop, Parque Mexico is only a block away." - guillaume guevara

Chilpa turned out to be a really pleasant place for breakfast, especially if you’re looking for something calm, comfortable, and a little different from the usual morning routine. When we arrived, there was a small table available, which ended up being perfect for us. It felt cozy rather than cramped, and it gave the whole experience a relaxed, unhurried vibe. We ordered two omelette and two Americanos. The food didn’t arrive instantly, but the timing felt just right—nothing rushed and nothing overly slow. It gave us time to settle in and enjoy the atmosphere. The omelette was well prepared, satisfying, and exactly what you’d want from a breakfast dish: simple, filling, and nicely done. The Americanos were also good—smooth, flavorful, and a great way to start the morning. What really made the experience special at Chilpa was the live music. There was a person playing guitar and singing, and it added so much to the overall mood. Hearing live guitar and vocals in the morning felt unexpected in the best way. The music wasn’t overpowering at all—it was soft, warm, and relaxing, creating a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere. It made breakfast feel more like an experience than just a meal and set a very positive tone for the rest of the day. Overall, Chilpa offers a comfortable setting, good coffee, well-timed food, and a unique touch with live music. It’s a great spot if you want a laid-back breakfast where you can slow down and truly enjoy your morning.

Chilpa was our final breakfast on our Mexico City trip, and we can’t sing enough praises about this restaurant. If you’re thinking of coming here, arrive early, or budget extra time if you don’t. But it’s worth the wait. It’s a simple, fresh, and delicious menu. The build-your-own style is easy to understand and the staff are kind and helpful. And I know it’s not for everyone, but I loved the intimate setting on the street beneath the tree canopy, which makes you feel not only like you’re in the city, but that you’re a part of it. Chilpa es mi favorito. I’ll come back next time I visit.

the best chilaquiles in town! for chilaquiles, the price is expensive (about $20 per large bowl), but everything was extremely fresh, flavorful, and the service was fantastic. they have spanish and english menus, and they are flexible with the dishes. they also had a ton of vegetarian and vegan options. the juices are freshly squeezed in house too!

Lovely neighborhood to walk through. Food took a bit long to come out but it was delicious! Chilaquiles were the perfect serving size, not too much, not too little. Very generous avocado portion on top. Suadero was tender and seasoned well! The taco special is similar to their Chilpa taco but with fried cheese- it is scrumptious! The bakery (Emmer) around the corner is a must visit! Appreciated the description of mole 😍didn’t realize how beautifully symbolic it is..

We came with a party of four for brunch on a busy Friday and only waited about 10 minutes. Great coffee, fruit and juices. Everyone loved their meals especially the Pan Frances.

Make your own chilaquiles bowl! Pick your protein chip salsa and toppings. So good

The chilaquiles here are amazing and build-your-style. There is always a little queue but waiting is never long normally. Worth a visit

The create your own chilaquiles is concept is 🔥. Amazing flavor. Get the 5 chiles sauce on the side, it’s not spicy at all and this keeps the meal from being a little soupy.

Im obsessed with the guy who comes and sings around lunch time at chilpa. He kind of sounds like UB 40. I love him so much, I come to CDMX and chilpa just to see him!

Meh. Decent, I enjoy the concept of build-your-own chilaquiles. Place is definitely designed for the gringos and was unsurprisingly busy on a Saturday morning. Waited maybe 15-20 minutes for a table. Chilaquiles are around $150-200 depending on what you get. I had the pollo and added an egg and it was about $200. I ordered the larger portion and it was satiable but not overwhelming. Service was fine but nothing to write home about. Anyway, there are better and cheaper chilaquiles around. Wouldn't come back.

I've never had chilaquiles and with these reviews, I was excited but unfortunately I left disappointed. I couldn't finish my bowl. Tasted like soggy chips. Their cecina tacos were terrible. So salty. Bad start to our first meal and day in mdx

Yenderson S.

Yelp

It's one of my favorite places to get Chilaquiles! You can build your own and choose your favorite ingredients; it's pretty tasty and well-priced! Their smoothies are also good; I will return! Service is quick and friendly, and eating outside is fun!

Asha S.

We had breakfast at Chilpa the day we arrived in Mexico City. The service was prompt and the sidewalk seating was really cute. I loved all the different variations of chilaquiles you could build. I ended up ordering the baked tortilla chips (which were perfectly crispy), with fried eggs, portobello mushroom and avocado. It was delicious and super filling (even though I ordered the small). I was literally full even when lunch rolled around. My husband ordered the Huevos Aporreados (scrambled eggs with cecina steak). He didjt love his dish so I'd stick with chilaquiles if you decide to visit. We also tried the orange, carrot, ginger juice, which was really refreshing.

Kandis J.

Yelp

Love chilaquiles?! Well it's a must to try them here. It's a cute cozy restaurant with honestly more seating outside than inside, yet it's tan very well. These have to be the BEST in the city. If someone can top these, I'm open to hear it. Yet from the service to the food you can't go wrong. Get you a yummy red juice on the side and it'll be chefs kiss. The servers are bilingual for those who aren't that great with English as well. No rsvp so definitely get there early! Thankfully they move very efficient.

This is a review from a vegetarian person's perspective. This place is great for brunch. It's quite popular so there may be a bit of a wait. We did the Build Your Own chilaquiles and it was fabulous. I'm a vegetarian and found it to be great. There are a ton of toppings that you can add in addition to the protein. We did the house sauce. We also added avocados. For eggs they asked for fried or scrambled- fried still ends up being a bit runny so make sure to specify. Some folks in my party asked for a smaller bowl and I don't think the server put that in properly because their bowls were the same as the large size. The French toast is also quite good; as is their coffee.

Rajbir S.

We were visiting Mexico City and staying in Condessa. Came across Chilpa and the place was very busy with a lot of people waiting. We put our name down and were able to get a table in 30 minutes. I had chilaquiles for the first time in MX and were blown away with how delicious they were. We also got the French toast which was perfectly sweet and tasty. Everyone around was having Chilaquiles too so I guess it is safe to assume that this place is a popular one to grab a bowl for many. We sat outside on a beautiful sunny morning and the vibe was quite lovely with a great meal.

We skipped breakfast at a well-known upscale restaurant in favor of Chilpa and were so glad we did. Here, you design your own chilaquiles, the portions are huge and everything was delicious. They also have a nice kids menu, and everyone here was super nice and friendly to our 6-year-old. We will definitely return!

Kerry M.

Yelp

Food is delicious here! I ordered the molletes (added avocado and egg) and the chilaquiles. For the chilaquiles, recommend the gratina cheese, add eggs and avocado, and choose fried totopos.

Alexa K.

Yelp

Amazing spot for a beautiful gloomy breakfast. Such a cozy spot with really friendly staff and delicious food. I love that you can customize your chilaquiles exactly the way you like them. I would love if the salsa was slightly spicier, but still really yummy and filling.

Yonina G.

Yelp

We waited 30-40 minutes. Food and service were very disappointing. I ordered tacos and my husband ordered chilaquiles. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. Not worth the wait.

Dakota T.

Yelp

This place is sooo good, a must visit when you're in CDMX! This place is great because you get to build/customize your own chilequilles - you start with your base of baked or fried tortilla chips, move on to the sauce/salsa (they have green and red options) and then you get to pick your toppings. They also have 3 sizes, which is nice that you get to choose from. The eggs are cooked perfectly! This place does have quite a wait, they seem to always be busy - we opted for take out and ate in the park!

Anthony R.

Huevos Rancheros were very good and so was the coffee. Service was average. Cost was average.

Ronak P.

Yelp

Great chilaquiles with the ability to customize to your heart's desire. Tried other dishes on the menu but chilaquiles are where it's at. If you can handle spice, I recommend the habanero sauce. Great little neighborhood spot kinda vibe with a lot of outdoor seating. Come hungry. Staff is very helpful and attentive. Does not matter if you do or don't speak Spanish.

Hellen P.

Yelp

Lunch on Sunday was busy with a long wait, so we opted to do takeout and eat in Parque Mexico. It was a long wait for our food to be ready (understandable as there were so many people) but it was well worth the wait! The signature chills tacos were some of the best shrimp tacos I've had, and the huevos aporreados was really flavourful. Will definitely need to come back for chilaquiles since that seems to be their speciality!

Emily R.

We enjoyed a delicious breakfast outside. Chai Latte was delicious -- a hug in a mug! Our server was very helpful in recommending ways to order our BYO chilaquiles -- was easily the top 1 or 2 I've ever had.

Amazing spot for chilaquiles! Pick from the menu and create your own. The small is a generous portion size filling for one person. Order the medium or large to split between two. Don't forget to add the egg and avocado.

Limairy R.

Fresh and delicious chilaquiles with mix and match toppings. All at a reasonable price of between $5 and $7. Conveniently located on a leafy side street off the south side of Avenida Amsterdam.

Kate S.

The chilaquiles. Yes. Everything about this place. Go there hungry. I liked the option of making your own creation and the staff was very friendly despite our child-like Spanish.

Best chilaquiles in CDMX!! Everything is fresh and made to order. It's a small restaurant so be sure to come when it's not busy . They serve bfast lunch and dinner. A must when you are here specially because it's in Condesa!!!!

Sunday brunch with chilaquiles generally proves to be life-saving. If you choose to do it at Chilpa, you may pass on the operating table. The service at this place so was painful that it really didn't matter how the food tasted (decent.. pretty cold). Everyone was nice, but the inefficiency pretty much ruined the meal. Yes- the place was packed and people were waiting for food, I get that. We had to ask for milk for coffee 4 times. My "iced coffee" (which was a milkshake apparently) arrived when I was finishing my food. Everything arrived luke warm. Annnndddd this place doesn't have cilantro?! *blank stare* Actually: I am taking off a star for that (from 3 to 2). Cilantro is SO clutch in chilaquiles, not worth eating without it IMO. This was the final deal breaker. They do have nice sidewalk seating though. TL;DR: cute place, decent food, really poor service; NO CILANTRO, 2.5 stars

Juv L.

Yelp

Needed chilaquiles after a long night. These did NOT disappoint. I make chilaquiles often and very good at it and these are very tasty. Big servings but a bit pricey when they sell them on every corner. Coffee was good too. I recommend this place. I think they deliver to close by homes. Small place, not for kids or large groups. Dropped them a star. They need to stop cooking their eggs for 2 weeks before serving them. They become a rubbery hard mess. Over easy and scrambled eggs.

Sri K.

Yelp

Good food but awful service. I had to wait for 60 min for 2 freaking . Do yourself a favor & go elsewhere & save 1 hr of your time.

Adrian N.

Yelp

The tacos are amazing and taste super fresh. The service is great too. It's a very small place with about 5 tables. They seem to specialize in only fish tacos and chilaquiles, but have other items on the menu.

Jack D.

Yelp

Good food, informal, wonderful service. The chiliquiles, choose your own sauce, meat and makings are great. Their tables were full so they set us up at the cupcake shop next door and gave us perfect service. And afterwards we had cupcakes and coffee, also very good.

Sarah M.

Yelp

We were a group of 4 who don't speak Spanish very well (but are learning!) and were treated SO graciously and patiently by our waiter here. The chilaquiles are delicious and the juices are insanely mindblowing. Stop looking for breakfast (or a hungover brunch in our case) - you've found it!

Francesco B.

Yelp

Best fish tacos! Chilaquiles are also very good. Nice to enjoy the sun on the waking side !

A fantastic, intimate, non-pretentious spot. Amazing chilaquiles. Great coffee. Delicious fruit smoothies. Super fair prices, unlike some other spots in the area. The outdoor seating is great and the service was perfect.

Christian A.

Yelp

Absolutely delicious. I had the salsa verde chilaquiles with a green juice. It was all flavorful, fresh, and cheap! Service is great too. Will definitely be returning here on my next visit to Mexico City.
