A famous local restaurant that has been here for ages, and has maintained its latin roots through all the change in the area. Good for a more upscale evening out, or a celebration. The Jibarito was good, and not as greasy as other restaurants which can be pleasant. Mojito was strong, and their seasonal pumpkin tart was sweet. The staff were nice and quick. Small area so can be cramped when busy during the winter.

In town for the weekend, came here for brunch. Ordered the ceviche which was served with saltine crackers... the ceviche is pretty decent, adding some fresh juice from a lemon helped to balance the flavors. They have pretty nice chips, they should serve ceviche with that instead of the crackers, it certainly helps balance the flavors and not overly salty.I enjoyed the coffee, has a very nice flavor- just basic coffee, cream, and sugar. This was the highlight.Two of us ordered the Chaquiles:1 ranchero with poached egg1 steak verdeThe ranchero one had a nice flavor, though I don't prefer runny eggs. The steak chaquiles was flavorless and the verde sauce didn't really help that! I was hopeful about the Valentina hot sauce thinking it might help, but not really This dish is definitely overpriced. The breakfast burrito looked pretty good though the person that ordered it said it was overfilled with egg. The potatoes that came with it were pretty good, I enjoyed the flavor, paired well with the Valentina sauce.Service was ok. Took quite a while to have my coffee refilled. The waiter would walk away so abruptly, I needed more cream. I asked for a straw and they did bring ONE... mind you I was not dining alone.The ambiance is cool, Latin American music played, we had great conversation.Now a few things to note, gratuity is charged for parties of 3 or more, PLUS a convenience fee AND 4% for using a credit card. Yuck! That's a lot of fees, on top of moderate to high prices.I rely on reviews to help guide my choices for dining and I feel mislead by the high reviews this place has. Out of 3 people the vote went like this (4, 3, 3) I don't think I would dine here again.

This place always exceeds our expectations!Cafe Con Leche is one of our favorite restaurants because of the freshness and high-quality food they produce and the incredible traditional flavors. Everything tastes amazing! From the appetizers to sandwiches, to their main dishes and desserts and the vibe is super chill!We ordered the Ceviche and it was like a piece of art, and tasted like Zeus himself prepared this dish. Zesty and fresh and the seafood was perfectly balanced.We have had five of the nine sandwiches offered, and they were all fantastic! ... but the Ropa Vieja sandwich / dinner are my faves! The Tampiqueña was phenomenal! A great cut of meat in a very healthy portion will satisfy your appetite.Their breakfast menu is also amazing, try the steak and eggs or the Chilaquiles. Yummm!Their bartenders are artists! They make the greatest cocktails. You must try the tamarind old-fashioned. Wow!All in all always happy to go and sad to leave, but will continue to visit often.See you there!

Absolutely DELICIOUS! The sandwiches are HUGE and delicious! Ordered the Cubano and the Ropa Vieja, the Ropa Vieja was our favorite for sure. The sandwich is big enough to share or save for later and considering the size and taste I think it's a bang for your buck. Service was also great, we didn't have to wait long for a table and we went around 1.

We came in on a Sunday morning and were able to be seated immediately in their outdoor patio. The brunch menu has a good variety of options ranging from American standards (pancakes, French toast, eggs with sausage) to more Latin items like tortas, chilaquiles, etc. we opted for the latter; the coffee came out quickly, but the food took some time given it was breakfast food. It arrived at our table lukewarm at best, but the overall flavors were good and the portion sizes were generous. Overall I'd say it was a good experience!

Stopped in for breakfast on a rainy Saturday morning. We were sat right away and I got a cafe con leche, husband got cafe americano, which is regular coffee. I got the chilaquiles verdes w avocado, and an order of maduros, husband got the Denver omelette. The food was all delicious and hearty. The chilaquiles were so huge, i took home a huge leftover box. I esp liked the maduros and rice&beans. The cafe con leche was also lovely. Service was great, although it was oddly hot in there(temperature-wise). i wanna come back for dinner soon! There's pretty easy street parking, which is nice.

We booked a table for 10 at Cafe con Leche for family visiting from out of town. Overall, our experience was just fine. Food was decent, not great. Service was a little awkward, with multiple miscommunications and long periods of time without a visit. Ambiance was forgettable. There are so many delicious Latino restaurants in Chicago! This was just decent.

Stopped by for dinner on a Monday night. They were a little busy but we were seated right away (no reservations made). The customer service was excellent and drinks/ food came out fairly quickly. The pollo fajitas were absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! One of the best I've ever had!!! The chicken was well seasoned and the veggies were sautéed very well. The passion fruit margarita was also really good.We will definitely go back to this restaurant when in the area and highly recommend this to others.

An EXCELLENT brunch spot, for the large portions, speedy service, and delicious food!! All of this combined makes it a great hangover meal on a Saturday morning :D we walked in around 11am on a Saturday and were seated immediately. There's plenty of indoor and back patio seating so even though there were lots of people dining, there wasn't a wait.Between my partner and me we ordered two dishes and wowww the portions are big! Such a deal considering the quality and price of the food! Highly recommend the chilaquiles with chorizo and avocado. Don't skip these add ons, because this chorizo is some of the best I have had at a brunch spot. The avocado balances out this protein heavy meal! The flavors are rich and the different textures of the crunchy tortilla chips with the soft and saucy tortilla chips and the creamy avocado and egg yolk....wow.We also had the ropa vieja (steak), which came with a side of beans and rice and a plantain! It was all delicious! We ended up taking some of it to go because we were both so full.I will definitely be back!
