Chilaquiles Special with chorizo
Juliana R.

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!

Chilaquiles Verdes
Lauren M.

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

Flan
Hanna K.

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!

Chilaquiles con arroz y frijoles.

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!!!

Bar

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.

Passion fruit mojito
Melissa L.

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!

Chorizo Breakfast Torta Cafe con Leche
Ariel A.

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.

Pumpkin Crème Brûlée - 6.5 out of 10 it's a healthy dessert and we liked it but if you have a sweet tooth it's not for you.

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.

Cafe Con Leche
Ci H.

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.

Ceviche served with crackers. Should serve with tortilla chips instead.
Mary W.

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.

The chilaquiles verdes were extremely sour. The cafe was really good hoping they just have a bad day in the chilaquiles sauce

Do they serve bottomless mimosas during brunch?

Idk go find out bro

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.

I stopped by Oromo one afternoon for a quick pick-me-up. The woman working the register was so…read moresweet and welcoming. I asked her for some recommendations and she suggested one of the frozen drinks. I'm so glad she did because I have been craving it ever since! They have a few frozen drinks to choose from, but I went with the cold brew + hazelnut truffle. It's made with housemade hazelnut milk, cold brew, cacao, frozen bananas, housemade coconut caramel, maple syrup, vanilla, and seasalt. Trust me-- it is just as heavenly as it sounds! I forgot to get photos of it because I drank it so quickly--sorry! The space is so cute inside and it's in a fun area to wander around, right in the heart of Lincoln Square. Can't wait to come back!

I wanted to love Oromo Cafe. I popped in for lunch during a visit to Lincoln Square, primarily…read morebecause the menu sounded fabulous - so many plant based options, including house-made milks. Unfortunately the menu overpromises and the food underdelivers, at least that day. -Lentil soup: good flavor, but very watery, more like broth than soup. The amount of soup barely reached a third of the way up the bowl, and the price of $7 for the bowl size was candidly just not worth it. -Beet hummus sandwich: again, good flavor, but I was anticipating a sandwich (as per menu description). What was presented was a single piece of naan spread with a thin layer of beet hummus, scattered with a few toppings. For $13 my expectations were higher. The beet hummus was delicious; with the goal of recreating this at home I asked a member of the staff about the ingredients. Unfortunately rather than saying, "I'm not sure, but let me check," they responded with "I don't know. I just started and I don't know most of the menu items." There is a lot of fabulous food in Chicago. Although Oromo Cafe is fine, I recommend saving ones dining experience and money for something truly fabulous.

Peruvian food can be very very good, and D'Candela was fantastic. The Lomo Saltado was very good…read more We've had it a few places and D'Candela's is as good or better. The Aji de Gallina (from the menu: "Chicken in walnut sauce. Served with potato, boiled egg and white rice") was incredibly good, although it didn't taste like walnuts to me. Doesn't matter, I'd get it again. Service was great, our server was very nice and attentive. We went at a random time so we were the only people there. Music was not loud or non-existent (thank you). Hoping to go back again soon!

This is where I will be going whenever I get a craving for Peruvian…read more Papa à la huancaina - one of my fav Peruvian dishes. Creamy yellow pepper sauce smothering a freshly boiled potato. Excellent. The pollo saltado - chicken stir fried with onions and tomatoes. The sauce poured over French fries, so they soak in all the juices. A side of white rice makes for the perfect side. Rotisserie chicken - this was the reason we came, and damn did it deliver. Incredibly moist and full of flavor. The green pepper sauce it comes with pairs perfectly. It's got a little subtle kick to it. The staff was great and super friendly. Food came out quick and was so fresh. Prices are super reasonable, and portions are large. The dining room is large and comfortable but no frills - the focus is on the food, as it should be.
