We stopped for a quick happy hour drink and encountered friendly, efficient service, great drinks, and the most amazing chips and salsa. It was exceptionally cold outside, even for early October, and the staff made every attempt to make everyone comfortable by moving the portable heaters and checking them frequently. I definitely recommend a visit when in the area!

PEPPERMINT CHURROS AND RING THE BELL SHOTS!!!! I would've enjoyed my visit to Federales with just those two things alone, but I definitely indulged in much more. For started the Ring The Bell shots are super fun. Your liquor of choice is served in a frozen shot glass and after you do your shot by the bell, you have to hurl your shot glass to the bell in an attempt to hit it and make it ring. I failed miserably as you see in the video. The PEPPERMINT CHURROS? EXCELLENT! I'm a huge lover of churros already, but the way they have that peppermint mousse on top of the chocolate ganache (which is STRONG but mixes well with everything together), paired with churros that have candy sugar on them?! Delish! AND their churros are made IN HOUSE, with a cake flour My salsa, chicken taquitos, quesadilla and queso fundido were all scrumptious! And the tacos?! I wish I had room to try more; the cod and "steak" were both seasoned well and I wish I could've tasted the crispy potato and baja taco (made with mahi mahi). Needless to say - IM GOING BACK FOR ROUND TWO! Go and for sure put on your list to try the peppermint churros and the ring the bell shot..... then explore the other eats on the menu. Ask for Alex to be your server and tell em Bri from Planes & Plates sent you!

Federales Logan square is nice and spacious. They play great music have games you can play with your friends/family. They have happy hour specials and a variety of food. I got three tacos the vegan chorizo, crispy potato, and non carne asada. I didn't get the a chance to take a pic of the guacamole but it was very delicious! definitely want to try their brunch menu.

If I can give them 5 stars every time I will! I already loved this place but finally came for brunch and WOW wow wow! Service is always relatively quick and myself and my dog are absolutely obsessed with the bouncers who check ID's they are so friendly and simply the best! The waitresses are always kind as well! Food comes out fast and is always hot and delicious! I have been countless times and the food quality has never declined!! Highest of compliments to the chef, he or she is killing it!! Ambiance is everything! It's a gorgeous space and they always decorate for the holidays !! For brunch we finally tried the French toast ( INSANE LIKE ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IVE EVER HAD), the breakfast tacos , the chicken quesadillas and their taco or the month ( crispy shrimp) the plates were licked clean!!!!

The chips and salsa were awesome and who doesn't love a good Halloween menu! The Belle of the Fall was very tasty and we all enjoyed our sparkly orange and purple tequila shots that we got to throw at the bell after. The service was really speedy and attentive. The ambiance was great with all the decor for the season and open space. Very fun and festive!

Recently stopped by to experience brunch again and was very happy! The brunch menu has got a little bit for everyone and is fairly priced. This time around I tried a drink off of the regular menu- Cadillac Margarita and it was . I was feeling pretty hungry so I was debating between the burrito and torta and ended up choosing the toroad. When I requested chorizo removal to make it veg friendly, our server informed me that I could swap it for a plant based option at no additional cost. I chose the carne asada option. The plant based steak tips were well seasoned and seared well. Overall the torta was fantastic- the jalapenos lent a nice spice, the cheese skirt was nice and crispy, and I loved that the roll was nicely buttered. I look forward to future visits!

I met my friend and her child at Federales and at first we weren't sure it was going to be the right place--it seemed like a party place, loud music and whatnot. But they had some spaces further back in the outdoor space and that's where we wanted to sit anyway. And they had booster seats, too, so definitely kid friendly. The salsa is delicious. I wish I could get it just to have at home. It had a little heat and some texture; I think I prefer chunky salsa. I got the taquitos and they were really good. We also got some guacamole, a favorite with the kiddos, and the Brussels sprouts, a favorite with me. (Haha.) Margaritas were great--and they didn't skimp on the alcohol. All the food was great, but it was too pricey for me to probably come back very often.

My lovely wife and I have wandered past Federales before, and it struck us as a fun place to check out one of these days. This location is on Milwaukee and Sacramento, with its corner offering significant space for a lively outdoor patio. Thanks to a can't-beat-that promotion where weekend brunch food items are priced half-off (11AM to 1PM) through August, we stopped in on a warm Saturday to try out Federales Logan Square. We actually made a reservation for noon yesterday, but we were seated immediately though we arrived a few minutes early. We chose to sit indoors next to the cool mural on the wall, as it was quite warm outside. Service was good throughout our meal, starting with ice water and a tasty serving of complimentary chips and salsa. Our friendly server was well aware of the half-off brunch food deal, so there was no need to haggle over promotional pricing. I went "dessert first" and ordered the Flan French Toast, with a generous dollop of whipped cream. It was certainly sweet enough, and it tasted like a yummy combination of desserts - flan, creme brulee, bread pudding. It's definitely a unique spin on French Toast. My love ordered the Chilaquiles with the red salsa on the side, and the salsa was quite zingy so that was a good move for her. She enjoyed a glass of iced coffee as her "dessert" item.

I fully enjoyed dropping by during their 50%-off brunch special this month. Prices are not bad even without the half-off promo. The vibe is very upbeat, and while the brunch menu does not feature too many options, they have a nice selection. Our server could not have been more lovely and attentive. We loved the Chicago-themed mural! I went with the chilaquiles, and, out of caution, I had them put the sauce on the side because I'm a total spice wimp. I did not use much of it, as it is rather spicy to me. But even eating the dish in a non-traditional way, I liked it a lot. We received complimentary chips and salsa. Chips were warm, and the veggies in the salsa were just so great. They tasted fresh and were crisp. Sadly, being the spice wimp I am, I couldn't eat a lot of it, but I sure wanted to because I have never tasted a better complimentary salsa when it comes to the quality of the vegetables. I ordered the iced coffee for "dessert," and it was such a great blend. It's only $3, but it's not a large glass. I thought the price was fair for how great it tasted. The weather at noon when we arrived was pretty warm, and I was a little nervous about it being hot in there, given the open-concept situation. However, there was a nice breeze, and the temp in the space was absolutely comfortable.

When in doubt, just add a cowboy hat Back to @federaleschicago in Logan square this time for a fun country Sunday brunch! Pictured here we got the Pinche Paloma, breakfast tacos and the chorizo and potato hash! All were amazing, delicious, fresh, and the service was fantastic!!! The ambiance here is always the best here and honestly always a fun time!!!
