“Ordered the veggie fajita, and the portion was very generous! The peppers were so juicy！”

“Been coming here since it was a hole in wall, before the expansion. The Jibarito is delicious. The coffee speaks for itself. Thank you to all the Cafe Con Leche staff, and s special shout-out to Esam. I can't wait to come back. The Skirt Steak with Yuca fries is great! Had it with a glass of Cabarnet. Unfortunately I was in such a rush to scarf it down, I forgot to photograph that dish. Highly recommended. Thanks again!! Update: late lunch, had a glass of Cava and the Bacon Char Burger. Don't sleep on the burgers, they're very nice! Fries are delicious.”
“I sat outside on a beautiful Saturday morning to enjoy an amazing cappuccino and the omelet special. The omelet was a veggie delight with poblano peppers topped with pickled red onions and a pureed jalapeño salsa. The servers were all attentive and kind. Gracias Amigos!”
“My experience at Cafe Con Leche was fantastic! We celebrated Valentine’s Day and the menu was excellent. I had the salmon and it was cooked beautifully. The staff was amazing, well dressed and very attentive.”
“Cafe Con Leche — 5/5 all around! Everything about this experience was amazing. We started with the ceviche and it was incredibly fresh, light, and full of flavor. It paired perfectly with the tortilla chips and was such a great way to start the meal. For drinks, I had the El Ilegal mixed drink and it was perfectly balanced, not too spicy, not too strong, and not overly sweet. The chamoy and mango purée complemented each other so well. Honestly one of the best-balanced cocktails I’ve had in a while. For my entrée, I ordered the salmon and it was grilled perfectly with a beautiful crust on the outside. The mashed potatoes were to die for, creamy, umami-packed, well seasoned, and with just the right amount of spice. The spinach helped balance out the richness of the potatoes really nicely, making the dish feel hearty but not overwhelming. Overall, the food easily deserves a top score. I did happen to find a few pin bones in my salmon, but that didn’t take away from the experience. The incredible food, attentive service, and great ambience more than made up for it. Our servers were very attentive and welcoming, and I would absolutely come back and recommend this place to others. Can’t wait to return!”
“Came here for restaurant week and we were very impressed… Excellent food and fantastic portions”
“Delicious Breakfast and Outstanding Service Cafe Con Leche in Chicago was a great start to the day. The food was excellent, the space was clean and organized, and the overall vibe was welcoming and relaxed. We ordered the breakfast burritos with turkey sausage and they were flavorful, fresh, and very filling. Everything came out quickly and was clearly made with care. The staff really stood out. Everyone was attentive, kind, and genuinely friendly without being overbearing. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and a place I would absolutely come back to. Highly recommend if you are looking for a solid breakfast spot with great service.”
