Awesome Mexican brunch!!

### blondeeatsworld — 4.2/5 · Jun 15, 2024
I’m usually quite picky when it comes to nachos, but the loaded nachos from @federaleschicago have stolen the top spot on my list recently. The queso boat is simply perfection 💯 Next time you’re there, do yourself a favor and order these - and maybe toss in a tequila ice shot for good measure

Tacos and tequila

### coriinthecity — 3.8/5 · Jul 15, 2024
One of Chicago's most iconic bars now has mimosa towers for brunch!! 
Not only do they have the perfect, wide open patio for the summer, but the food is actually delicious!! Try the new Steak & Eggs, Flan French Toast, or Pozole Rojo & don't forget to ring their iconic bell with an ice tequila shot!

No better place to spend Cinco de Mayo than @federaleschicago (Logan Square location) ! We had to start off brunch right with their frozen cocktails and got the tequila frosé and mexican bulldog. The chilaquiles were impressive along with the crispy brussels sprouts covered in a chipotle tamarind honey. We definitely will be back to check out their tacos. 
8.0/10
