    Our group of EIGHT sat in their outdoor space and we had a wonderful evening of good food and great company. We were seated right away, the server was incredibly helpful, responsive and kind. The food was prompt and delicious. The house margaritas were well crafted and tasty. We will definitely be coming back; especially since they conveniently have free parking as well! Highly recommend this establishment.

    Tacos are a must try. Their queso was a disappointment but Tacos, Echilladas, Tortas were just deliciously perfect. Marlyn was very sweet and helpful and provided great service. Extra point for the red sauce with habanero on the table, just out of this world.

    Our party of 4 enjoyed the range of dishes ordered from the Queso Fundido w/ chorizo appetizer to the various cocktails coupled with our taco and burrito entrées. Ambiance of the restaurant was very appealing which led us to discussions of this place being amazing for a future group event. Service from the servers was mixed since it appeared they were training new staffers who haven't gotten their customer timing down yet. We would return at a future time.

    My boyfriend and I were celebrating our 4 year anniversary and had a wonderful experience last night. Aside from the food being amazing, our waiter brought us dessert and champagne on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. Cafe con Leche was where we had our first date, so getting to celebrate it like that was really special and meant a lot to us. We will definitely be back!

    I loved going to Cafe con Leche for the Ropa Vieja. It was not the same, first with the presentation, they made it look like a Mexican Plate. second instead of beef I was served Pork. The flavor was nothing like Ropa Vieja. I would recommend Cafe con Leche if people want Mexican Food. It's not Cuban any more.

    The service here was horrible! The two guys with the glasses were so rude to me and my friend. We got to our reservation 15 minutes early and was yelled at for that. One of the guys sat us down and still got yelled at for the other guy saying “I did you guys a favor for letting it slide your reservation was at 4” which in reality it was at 3:45 and we got there at 3:25. We didn’t know about the change of menus after 4 to the dinner menu so we asked if we could still do the brunch menu nicely the guy with glasses said “ what part don’t you understand, 4 is dinner” very rudely. The service here was horrible the food was mediocre. Will not be coming back.

    First time at Cafe Con Leche. We were a party of four. Super friendly wait staff. Service was great. Highly recommend chips and salsa. It is not your run of the mill chips and salsa. Best I've had. Classic margarita was perfectly balanced. We all ordered different entrees and everyone enjoyed theirs. Chicken fajitas, burrito, pork tacos, and steak enchilada. Wish we saved room for dessert as they looked so delicious.

    Cafe Con Leche has some of the best empanadas in the city in our opinion. The cocktails are well made, ingredients are fresh, and the service was overall really positive. During the summer, the large open windows as well as the back outside patio are both great spots for a good meal.

    Food was very good, but was very disappointed with the drinks. Ordered a caipirinha, had a chemical taste to me but friend drank it. Ordered Supreme Margarita, tasted awful, sent back. Drinks had no hint of sweetness to taste, only the sugar rim.
