Great spot on Milwaukee. From the outside the place hadn't seemed like much and we had walked past it a few times. It is much roomier inside and has a lively vibe. The servers were upbeat and music was playing but not too loud. Our orders were taken quickly and everything came out perfect. I highly recommend the premium margaritas and the chilaquiles.
Perfect spot for a friend's birthday dinner. Staff was so kind and offered great recommendations as it was our first time in. Cozy space with ample parking in the back. The food was fresh and flavorful. I can't wait to try their brunch!
Lovely, centrally located spot. Food comes out quite fast for a busy, rainy Sunday brunch time. Big filling platters that are delicious. Horchata that hits the spot. I would happily visit again when in town and take my time to experience the fuller menu.
Just delicious! Very bang for your buck meal. The plantain was a chefs kiss and also the chilaquiles was enough to feed two of us! Service was nice and the restaurant was lively. We loved their cocktails as well, would come back again
Simply incredible. Service was great and portions were huge. Will be back soon for the brunch
Stopped by during restaurant week with a group of 7. The service was very friendly and the portion sizes were great! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the chipotle dijon salsa paired great with it. The flan was super rich and decadent! I also ordered a marg is and was just ok. We were able to pay separately for each of our meals, which is always a plus!
The food and the service were both exceptional. From the moment we walked in until the moment we left we felt like we transported ourselves to my grandmothers kitchen. The music was perfect, the restaurant was clean and the vibes were spot on. Incredible restaurant... 10/10 highly recommend. Seriously GO CHECK THEM OUT!!!
First time here. Sat at the bar while waiting for my party. Ordered Sangria and it was pretty delicious. The vibe was very nice as well loved the open windows and the street view. The food came in a large portion, I had an appetizer as my main course. Chicken flautas are my favorite and I was really impressed the way it was presented as well as how it tasted. Can't wait to be back to try other dishes on the menu.
My friends and I stopped into Café Con Leche and had such a great experience sitting at the bar! Chema, our bartender, was incredibly attentive and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. We started with a bottle of champagne for mimosas and an order of empanadas to share--crispy on the outside and packed with flavor. For our meals, one friend ordered the jibarito dinner (which they loved), and the other had the chilaquiles. I went with the chilaquiles verdes with steak, eggs, and avocado--served with Mexican rice and beans. The green salsa was flavorful without being spicy, and the chips had the perfect texture--not too soft, not too crunchy. Just right! To top it all off, I tried the passion fruit mojito, and wow--you can actually taste the passion fruit. So refreshing and delicious. Great food, great drinks, great service. I'd definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a solid brunch or lunch spot with Latin flair!
Came here last minute for breakfast. I got the chorizo torta with the side of potatoes. The torta was delicious, but I felt like the potatoes should be seasoned better. My friend had the same opinion, but it might just be our personal taste. I also got the cafe con leche which tasted okay, my friend got their iced mocha which tasted better to me. Since the restaurant is small, we sat in the back patio area which isn't as nice as the inside (maybe try a reservation to sit in the main area). The service was good, no complaints there.
It's 7 of us with my mom - I had to sit her down - I didn't know we all had to be present - we Just arrived and because parking here in the northside is always a mess we brought my mom in first while my sister went to find parking. They should make an exception for the elder. For now I am giving it a 2 star. I'll update it. UPDATE: We got seated - Baly, the Hostess was kind and our waiter is Miguel and he came with a nice smile that's important to me. He took our drink order. So so far service is not bad . To be continued... The ambiance in the back seating area was ok but could have a little more more breeze it got a little hot.
First, a must try is the Cafe Con Leche. Delicious coffee. The Bistec Encebollado was excellent. Marinated steak, onions, sweet plantains, rice & beans. Everything on the dish complimented each other. I believe this is located in downtown Logan Square. I'm not sure... anyhow, most of the group were able to park on the street.
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 egg 1 steak verde The 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.

Spillin' the beans at the cafe Need a great brunch spot with amazing coffee to go along with your friends? Head over to @cafeconlechechi for some of the TASTED coffee you've had here in Chicago! It is so delicious and just look at the size of it paired along with our coffees we're the breakfast chorizo and avocado omelette & grilled chicken sandwich and both orders were so good we devoured them completely! The staff is so sweet and very helpful but it does get crowded quick so if you do go we recommend you get there when they open or it might be difficult to get a seat but overall amazing place inside and out! read more

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! read more

This was our second visit to Cafe con Leche. It's always been a great experience. We sat outdoors. Since their tent has sides, it can be loud. Of course, that's fine unless you don't like noisy restaurants. Their food is amazingly consistent. Cafe Americano: oh my - the size of the cup is enormous. It was also very good. Chilaquiles Verdes: Two of us ordered Chilaquiles - this was also an enormous meal. Delicious, slightly spicy, the salsa verde was amazing. But it was so large, I barely finished half the meal. The rest will be breakfast tomorrow . Vegetable Sandwich: big and fantastic. I'm not a vegetarian, but my mother is. She also doesn't eat a lot at one sitting. We took one half of her meal home. Ropa Viella: this was the only meal finished at our table. I didn't get to taste it but the review was as good as anything else above. I can't end this without mentioning the service. Everyone we encountered was super nice and very accommodating. It was a pleasure to eat here. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We came because the restaurant week menu looked amazing. And it was! The presentation was so upscale and the food was delicious. I'll be thinking about that flan for the foreseeable future. The service was great - water consistently refilled and more than just your server is taking care of you. Will absolutely be back to check out breakfast and lunch too. Parking in the back of the restaurant and outdoor seating available too! read more

Hola Andrea,…
This place is big and has an outdoor patio. The service is great and food is delicious. I ordered the chorizo and avocado egg breakfast. Wow! This dish came with potatoes chorizo avocado and scrambled eggs. What a great mix. So tasty. The potatoes were so well seasoned. The Chorizo great flavor! I had to order the Cafe con leche since the place is called Cafe con leche. You get a big cup of the cafe con leche. It was very good. The food came really quick. The service was very good. I will be going back to try more of their food. Very good!!!! read more
It was Saturday evening around 7:30 pm no reservations were required and we were seated immediately. We ordered the sangria, empanadas, chicken enchiladas and a chicken sandwich. Everything I put in my mouth was well seasoned and flavorful. You could tell the chef was cooking with a purpose to make your meal memorable. The star of the meal was the empanadas and the Sangria. This place is amazing and would have received 4 stars if not for the poor service. The restaurant was not crowded but our wait staff was inattentive. We had to ask each time for her to come to our table for: silverware, a correction to what I ordered, to go boxes, to go bags and the check. Basically we were ignored the entire time we were there. This would be a great place for girlfriends night but I'm hesitant to try it again because I didn't like the service. read more

Does this place have many TV's? Would it be a good place to watch the World Cup soccer games?
Yes 3-4, but small TVs. Better go to it's sister restaurant down the block, The Harding Tavern, w a lot more and bigger TVs.
