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.

Came here with a friend to catch up. Food was really good, service was good but not great. I ordered the chilaquiles with an iced cafe con leche which was really good. I felt rushed the whole time. We got our food pretty fast too, but still didn't like being rushed. We could've ordered more items had he not rushed us. Not sure if I'll be coming back here :/ read more

Morning Cafe con Leche and a breakfast burrito. I've been coming here for 20 years and the food is delicious! I love their breakfast and brunch but their dinner and cocktails menu also terrific. They have a parking lot in back so visiting friends can easily park. It's a neighborhood staple. Stop in or order take out. You'll be back for more! read more

Food came out super quick. Service was ok, they checked on us but they forgot my drink and after I told them to no longer bring it to me they just walked away and didn't even acknowledge that they forgot my drink. As someone who has worked in this industry and has made mistakes an apology would've been great. A couple behind us walked and took over our spot, and again no apology was considered. I would probably just take out food to go since the service didn't convince me to go back. read more
When both my colleagues wanted to have breakfast at "Cafe con Leche," I was excited since this place had been on my bookmark for a good period of time. We weren't able to "desayuno" our morning away. We all had a mandatory training for work. However, we made it there for their "de noche Mexicana." I couldn't pinpoint when I had my last Margarita...maybe in college? We all chipped in and got ourselves a pitcher of original-flavor Margarita ($32, as of 04/13/2017). The drink was pretty strong, so I continued pacing myself with water, and meanwhile, waiting for the ice to melt. The food was also fantastic. One of the girls got the "molletes," featuring French bread, chorizo, chihuahua cheese, and pick de gallo ($7.95). They definitely complemented the margarita, for drinking with an empty stomach was never wise. For the entree, I went with my first instinct: chilaquiles de carne asada ($13.95 + $4 for any meat option). The egg was cooked exactly what I asked for: over-easy. The salsa verde was semi-spicy, yet I didn't sweat while consuming it. The portion was large enough that I took the rest home. I couldn't really comment on hubby's "bistec encebollado ($14.95)." Although it was a girls' night-out, I took care of his hunger and got him an order to-go. Well, he did seem to like it just fine because it disappeared within ten (10) minutes. The server was friendly and willing to split out checks equally between three (3) of us. Please note that it's the maximum number a ticket can be divided into. In other words, if you're with a party of four (4), they cannot allow the check to be separated with four (4) different payments, Oh also, there is free parking behind the restaurant. In addition, CTA Logan Square Blue Line station is only one (1) block away. read more

Amazing food, drinks and service. The food came out fast and was fresh, generously portioned and piping hot. I got the huevos con bistec and would highly recommend. The cafe con leche was also perfection and the freshly squeezed orange juice was both refreshing and delicious. I will definitely be back again. read more

This place is located in the Logan Park neighborhood. Came here on a Friday night. Place was packed (although it is cozy, small intimate place) The food is made from scratch (hopefully I'm right) because it took 45+ minute, close to an hour for the food to come out I had the Fish Tacos. It was a lot of food. I thought it tasted ok/average. The customer service was alright as well. Not the greatest but wasn't the worse. When it comes to mexican cuisine, I actually prefer less scale type places. The ambiance was nice but being too fancy loses its authenticity. Overall it was alright, definitely had better. Grade: C read more
Met my friend here for lunch the other day. I really liked it. Someone recommended the soup, and I am glad she did. I tried the beef and it was fantastic with the broth, the lime, the fresh cilantro, the rice, and all of those generous helpings of vegetables! Also shared an order of fresh guacamole. Yum. And I had the bistec sandwich with rice/beans. I was so full I had to take the sandwich to go (and I was happy to have it later!) Nice ambiance. Easy to get to from the blue line Logan Square stop. read more

My partner had heard good things and I was intrigued by the vegan options but ultimately disappointed. The chipotle black bean burger was tasteless and fell apart more and more with every bite. I didn't even finish my meal that's how much I disliked it. I did enjoy the empanadas. My partner had a lechon jibarrito and said it wasn't their fav. Maybe other options are better but overall not what I was expecting. read more

Oh boy we were in hurry and in hungry . Place is small, noisy and busy but you can wait aproc 10-15mins. We got a small table hardly enough for two of us, by that I mean for our coffees and plates. I ordered recommended popular breakfast and my hubby had one of the plantain sandwich. Both tasty, but mine was better. Coffe was good. Would stop by again if am in the neighborhood. read more

Used to love coming here until I found a roach on the floor while I was eating. Before my camera could focus, 3 waiters came to step on it and sweep it up. One of the guys said it was "because of the rain." I don't know how I feel about that, I honestly am very sensitive to bugs and it gave me a huge ick as it was wondering around the booths/couches. I can only imagine how many more there are. Here are my blurry photos! read more

Hi Emilia,…
This might be my new go-to restaurant when people are in town. We had a group of 5 for my birthday. The service was outstanding. We ordered the chilaquiles (as an app), a pitcher of their margarita, the ropa vieja sandwich, the torta asada, the tinga enchiladas, asada tacos, and the carne con chimichurri. EVERY SINGLE DISH WAS DELICIOUS. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered, and all of us would go back, which is rare. We also got flan at the end of the meal because we went for my birthday. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of my food to share, but check this place out - you won't regret it. read more

Wow....this place is foul...I knew when I order my food and the guy came back 2 minutes later it was problem....reheated food....nasty ass fries....at least the water was decent..never again.... Jibarto epic fail $ 50 dollars later and nothing enjoyable about this meal.... read more
Our horchata is real--none of that powdered stuff. The horchata alone should give this place five stars. Great help from the server in selling us on their homemade version of this drink. The chiliquiles was excellent. The salsa verde was tangy and perfect with the fried tortillas. The eggs were cooked perfectly to my liking and everything just worked. I think next time I would pass on the avocado since nothing really beats california avocados. The dish would've been just fine on its own. The Cafe con leche was good too, though I couldn't finish it because it was so big. I considered giving them one less star for temporarily misplacing my credit card and being understaffed and for not closing the umbrella so we could enjoy the beautiful sun, but their food really was that good. I can forgive the service. I do recommend getting more staff though! A great find. Would love to come here again next time I'm in Chi-town. read more

Don't order from here. Ordered potatoes and chorizo no seasoning potatoes were hard barely any chorizo or eggs. Also didn't come with green peppers or onions as described, cafe con leche was horrible and the breakfast croissant sandwich also lacked seasoning. I would not recommend. Also asked for salsa verde and sour cream on side which wasn't sent. Horrible felt like eating something from a hospital or prison. I went here for dinner years ago and that also wasn't good. Pass on this spot. read more

Today, Sunday Jan, 17th I came to cafe con Leche for the first time. Very disappointed. This place has no taste in their food. Very simple and pricey for the amount of food you get. My server was not nice. I place my order, 3 empanadas. Two tinga and one beef. I shorty not even a min later called the server to change it to one of each, and he said "sorry I placed the order already" did NOT care to change it giving the fact that it hasn't even been.one min, I didn't think it was gonna be a problem. I was surprised the effort.they give to satisfy the customers. My food was not tasty at all. The quality was very disappointing. There omelets don't even come with pancakes, everything is separate. Please check there menu before coming in here. read more

I can see why it's so popular! I came here for breakfast and had the best time. It was clean, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the food was soooo good. I got Bistek Encebollado and my partner got Chilaquiles Verdes with steak added to it. We both got freshly squeezed orange juice that paired perfectly with the meal. The prices were fair and everything was filling. We had to take a break before heading out because we were that full! It's right by a train stop so it's a really easy commute. If you're ever in the area, you HAVE to stop by. It's one of the best restaurants I've tried while being in the area and I'd definitely return. read more

Such a great place! I came in here with a friend on a Sunday shortly after 12 noon and amazingly we were able to be seated right away. The waitstaff is very friendly here! Immediately we both ordered Cappuccino's, served in mugs that were like reservoirs, but we didn't mind at all, the more the merrier. They were fantastic, with cinnamon sprinkled on top, it was delicious! I ordered the Chorizo Omelette with Avocado and it was super tasty. A little spicy but good spicy. It had a side of potatoes too. This is definitely a great place to go for breakfast! read more
UPDATE: I went here for brunch today and I asked for a bacon egg and cheese omelet. Our waiter said yes and could substitute everything out of the Denver omelette and replace it with bacon and cheese. What came out to me was an overlooked flat piece of scrambled egg folded over two overly fatty pieces of bacon and 4 slices of kraft singles on the outside. I expressed how gross this was to the waiter and that this was not an omelette, yet he did not apologize, attempt to rectify the situation, or even take it off the bill! This is the second time I've had less than acceptable service here and it's disappointing. My friend lives very close to this restaurant and I passed it all the time so I finally decided to try it. My friend and I went to brunch here and came right at the perfect time. It can get crowded ! I ordered the French toast with a side of bacon and scrambled eggs. The reason I did not give 5 stars is due to the eggs! They had no flavor and were cooked for too long. I didn't end up eating any because they were so sad. The French toast on the other hand was PHENOMENAL. Light and fluffy on the inside and the perfect amount of crisp for the crust. Topped with powdered sugar and add your own syrup, you'll be in heaven ! The bacon really intrigued me because it tastes as if it's been marinaded in lime and slightly grilled. So good! Lastly, the service was very quick and everyone was polwill be back to try other things for sure :) read more

I decided to try brunch at Cafe con Leche this past weekend and it's already become a favorite brunch spot for me. We were looking for some morning cocktails and they had a whole beverage menu available, including specialty coffees with the option to add Kahlua or Bailey's. I ordered the popular Chilaquiles Verdes with steak and my boyfriend ordered the breakfast burrito with chorizo. Both were incredibly tasty, but I have to say that I found the chilaquiles to be the best - especially with the steak! Overall, I highly recommend this spot and will be back. read more
A very popular and longtime business in Logan Square, Cafe Con Leche has been one of my favorite places to dine. From the friendly staff, great service and all of the delicious menu items they offer. The atmosphere here is also fun and upbeat with some background music playing. Today we decided to have the chicken burrito suizo, melted cheese and toppings on top with some delicious green salsa! This is a great dish if your really hungry or want to share as its a pretty good size. Also ordered three carne asada steak tacos that comes with pico de gallo, cheese and rice and beans. The carne asada quality is very good and always juicy and tender. They also have a great michela and margaritas drinks there as well! Parking lot is in the back and is always a plus since most places in Logan Square don't have lots. 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.
