This place is in serious danger of me coming here way too often!!! (I'm sure they won't mind) I came for breakfast and had the chilaquiles with a cafe latte. I LOVE coffee, I LOVE Mexican food and breakfast food is probably my favorite. Here I was able to have fantastic versions of all the above. Oh ya, and free parking in the back! read more

Cafe con Leche - Cafe Latte was very good! - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Chilaquiles was STELLAR. Comes with a bit of a wait but it is worth it. Cafe con leche comes in a big mug and is excellent with the optional Kaluha shot. Food came out of the kitchen mere minutes after ordering. Everything was hot and full of flavor. The salsa verde was one of the best this white girl has had. Adding to favorites to come back soon, what a great find! read more

Great food and service. I've tried multiple things from Cuban style to mexican style dishes and never disappointed.

This spot is great- we ordered several times during the pandemic and the food was always as good as any takeout can be, but we recently dined in and were wowed by the service and the food! The host, server and bus boys were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was fresh came super fast. I highly recommend! read more

We stopped in because we were walking by and it looked busy. Great find. The staff was friendly and efficient. They gave us a nice table in the back and served us good cocktails and great food. read more

I was debating for a long time how many stars to give to this place. Honestly the food that I ordered was delicious but the portions at small and overpriced for what they are. Their drink menu is awesome so make sure to grab a drink. The atmosphere felt modern and definitely a restaurant and not a Mexican hole in the wall. The real reason I am giving four stars is the service. After they cleared our table we had to wait a really long time for our check. Then they told us we can only put down 3 credit cards -- that's just being lazy. I know for a fact that the system doesn't have a limit for cards. read more

The food was amazing and I cannot wait to go back. I'm in the south suburbs and was skeptical at first about the distance but I'm glad I visited this place. The food is top notch and one of my pet peeves is that it is pipping hot. The food and the coffee did not disappoint read more

The chilaquiles and cafe con leche in the patio on a sunny Saturday morning. What more can a girl ask for? Oh yeah, how about delicious bread pudding baked fresh to order. And awesome service. Estefania made awesome recommendations. read more

Food is great, the menu offers various Latin American dishes that everyone can decide on. Service is friendly and attentive. Only downside is that the food is a little pricey for what it is. The ambience is nice and would be a great date night place. read more

Last time I trick myself into thinking "this time will be different". Every single order regardless of delivery time is a soggy flavorless mess. This is the third and final time we order from Cafe con Leche. Avoid. read more

No wait, great service, and amazing coffee. Cafe con Leche pretty much killed it on the brunch front. On a beautiful Saturday morning, there was no problem getting a half indoor/half outdoor table facing the street. The waiter was super nice, explaining the menu and the drink selection. As you might guess, the Cafe con Leche was FANTASTIC. I could drink that for every meal until I die. (I'm allergic to milk, and they happily accomodated with soy.) Don't sleep on the coffee! Then, I had papa con chorizo, which was really good. The only thing would be that my potatoes were not necessarily the best, and seemed like they had been sitting there for a while. read more

I went here on Saturday with a gf for a late breakfast, I really liked that they have a parking lot in the back. Once we walked in, we were greeted immediately and seated. Tried their cafe con leche and it was yummy, boiled milk with coffee, what more can you ask for. I had a chorizo with avocado omelette and it was great. Very filling. We, of course, also had a mimosa. Service and food was very good. Looking forward to going back for Dinner. read more

If you're looking for amazing brunch and you're in Logan Square, you better make your way over to Cafe con Leche. The coffee is great but the true winner here is the chilaquiles. Delicious delicious delicious! Fried tortillas drenched in tomatillo with cheese, crema, three eggs with a side of rice and beans. The ultimate breakfast. I've ordered the chilaquiles in the restaurant twice and ordered it as takeout once (but probably again soon). Quality is always there and it's always incredibly filling. And if you're hungover, this definitely hits the spot. Chilaquiles are my go to brunch food and so many times, restaurants do not know what they're doing. But at Cafe con Leche they knock it out of the park every time. Highly recommend Cafe con Leche. read more

Killer margaritas and unique menu options!! Super fun place for a date or night out with friends. Love that the happy hour goes until 7pm Monday-Friday! read more

Came here for breakfast and I definitely picked the best possible place! Had the namesake coffee, and it was incredible - I almost ordered another to go, but knew my eyes were bigger than my stomach! Ate the veggie torta - it was very hard to pick it from all the options, but I'm so glad I did! I loved that the avocado was not too hard - a great level of ripeness. I'm definitely saving this one, and will be back my next trip to CHI! read more

Came here on a whim for a late dinner, and had a pretty good experience. It was beautiful out so we decided to eat out in the back patio. The atmosphere was nice with the lights, and it was really comfortable. I thought the service was fine though they did mess up with our check, but all in all, I left full and happy. I got the pollo campestre and the boyfriend got tacos. The chicken really hit the spot for me. There was so much flavor and it all complimented each other so well with the pineapple, spinach, and chipotle sauce. The yuca fries were a great addition too. I've definitely been to better Latin restaurants, but I would find myself coming here again to try out other dishes. read more

My only complaint was not having more time and appetite to try more of their menu! The location near Logan Square was perfect for me to stop in before catching the train to O'Hare. I went with the suggestion from other Yelpers to go with the Chilaquiles and a black coffee. Coffee was good, and very decent size for the price. I got the Chilaquiles with my eggs sunny side up and some avocado. The service was excellent, very warm smiles from the staff and they checked in to see how it was enjoying the food. The Verde sauce on the Chilaquiles was delicious, and slightly spicier than I expected. If it wasn't a Monday I'd definitely have ordered to a michelada as well. The cafe is very airy and comfortable, with Mexican music softly playing in the background. I imagine it's totally pumping here on weekends. read more

We have always enjoyed the food, ambience and drinks here for over 20 years. Great to have a long standing asset in the Community.

This is a great brunch spot! There's parking in the back, but there was a little bit of a wait. It's a small place, but very good. The service is good, and they are very fast. They have food for everyone, too, including my very picky friend. The jibarito was very good, and the sauces they bring out are excellent. The coffees are very large but worth it! read more

Came here for brunch on Christmas Eve. My party of two was sat promptly at a clean table. We were tended to in a timely manner. We ordered the steak and eggs, chilaquiles, and two mimosas. The mimosas were served first, and our food was served about 15 minutes after. Our food was warm and served to us at the same time. Our cups of water were kept full and we were checked upon throughout the course of our dining experience. I cannot wait to return. read more

My experience today was great I visited for the first time and I loved it definitely coming back with my family the server lilly was great she answered all my questions about the menu and walked me throught the cocktails her service was amazing the food was good and the atmosphere is great! read more

The breakfast burrito is soooo good. The fries that come with almost every meal on the menu are my favorite!

Have dined here a few times the food is usually very good but today service was horrible. Was not greeted when entering after waiting a while standing there I approached one of the waiters to ask about waiting time. I think he was pretending he could not hear me finally he acknowledged me and said they were so busy. I work in healthcare I know what busy means but this was just disappointing . read more

Tried it for Restaurant Week. Delicious, authentic food, great ambiance! Highly recommended

I went here last night with a group of friends and I have to say I was blown away. Not only was the food delicious, but the customer service was impeccable !! I swear their fish tacos are the best I've EVER had and I am extremely picky when it comes to fish. I definitely will be going back !! **If your not sure what drink to order their passion fruit margaritas are really good! read more

We came to Cafe con Leche on a Thursday night and enjoyed everything but nothing to write home about. They offer a happy hour with $6 margaritas which was great! Once happy hour is over they increase to $10 which I think is a bit over priced for the amount you get. We started with the guacamole and 'house made chips' for $10. The chips were definitely did not seem house made, they were just drenched in oil. Also, they do not offer complimentary chips and salsa, you need to purchase that for $4. We have the chicken fajita plate and a steak burrito. Both plates were fine, nothing spectacular. I asked for salsa for the dinner plates and was given a green and red salsa which were very good. The ambiance is nice, the restaurant is very small so it gets loud. We will probably return for happy hour and food if we are in a hurry. read more

The place was practically empty and they made my uncle wait before I arrived. Even though one of us was there (and he could have sat alone even if I was running late) they stuck with policy and made him stand. This is an antiquated customer service rule. Very, very few scenarios come to mind why you wouldn't seat an incomplete party in an empty restaurant. The whole purpose of trying to get everyone seated together is timing, particularly with large parties. I understand prime time in a packed space where customers are jockeying for a seat- but empty tables and only 2 patrons... (eye roll). Won't be coming back. read more

Amazingg food and environment, I tried the empanadas de pollo that were full of flavor and filling. As my plate I chose the Torta de milanesa which has actual thick meat, not like other places that barely have any meat in them. I will be coming back for their cocktails but please make sure you do get a cafe con leche! read more

I have been to this place twice now and I love it! I will come back the next time I'm in the Chi again! This place is beautifully decorated and has a wonderful staff working here. The ambiance is lovely. The coffee is amazing. I love how they offer Kailua coffee, which is a thousand times better than Bailey's by the way. I always order their chilequiles and they never disappoint! The best drunchies ever!!!! read more

Fantastic. Had the breakfast burrito with steak and avocado and it was spot on. Fast, hot, fresh and good coffee. Hot sauces were money too, I love good hot sauces. Red is spicier than the green. If I was living in Logan Square I would be here every weekend. read more

The food was delicious! Our server was so nice and very helpful. We had a larger group and he really handled himself well by giving everyone advice on the menu. Everything we ordered, from appetizers to dessert & drinks, we had no complaints on the food. The only low point of the night was when the manager kicked us out of our booth because we were taking too long to finish up. I guess it's not really a great spot to eat great food and enjoy camaraderie all at the same time. Maybe it's because the place was small? But we definitely weren't just there for the cafe con leche, we had a pretty hefty check and even ordered meals to-go. It felt weird to have to be rushed out of our seats when we were already putting our jackets on to leave. read more

Terrible food. Would rather drink horchata off a taco truck then sit down at this restaurant and eat. Jokes aside. Their enchiladas gave me food poisoning. I vomited twice. Staff was rude. read more

I made reservations for this place for my 21st birthday (they are on top with their reservations i give them that). Where do I start.. First, the food is really expensive for such a small serving. My bf ordered carne asada plate and he almost finished the plate before i even got my food and so is my other friend. so he just sat there the whole time while some were still waiting for their food. The rice was too small, not even what it looks like on their website. The reason for giving two stars was because the lechon jibarito i ordered was actually good, not the best (i've had better), but good. The drinks we got were also small and for sure had more ice in it than the actual drink. Second, my friend brought a cake and told us they charge $6 PER SLICE (somewhere around that price). you must be kidding. lol. i have about 14+ guest. So no, the server instead told us, she will give a flan (but charged us later on for it and had to ask her again and gave us another receipt). The flan was ok, it was just on a regular plate with happy birthday on it and a candle. LOL. the serving was too small for the price, my bf bought chips and ate at home. It was so expensive that most of my guest were disappointed of the food they ordered - they told the server about it but she unfortunately didn't really do anything about it. Sad. We stayed a little longer than expected because we were trying to figure out who got what since everything was mixed up on the receipt which was weird cus theres table numbers on the receipt, the owner/manager/server (not sure exactly who it was) offered she buy us all a shot - which was nice of her. but overall - i honestly don't recommend this place. I thought I would have a good dinner - i mean i did since I was with friends but the food was meh. Maybe choose wisely but still. its also free parking so theres that. read more

Ok first of all...they have a free parking lot!?!?!?!? Obviously that's not the basis of my good review, but it is seriously worth mentioning. Who ever heard of such a thing on this hopping stretch of Milwaukee? That little gem aside, this place has some delicious Latin food. I went years ago for brunch and it wasn't that memorable, but more recently I tried it for dinner and really enjoyed it. I went in a big group and everyone's entree looked great. I had the shrimp fajitas, which really hit the spot and came with lots of tasty veggies, tortillas, rice and beans. They also have a fun list of Latin cocktails, should you choose to imbibe. Atmosphere is low key, and it seemed like you could definitely bring kids if you went on the early side. read more

We were seated right away, and served right away. I had the french toast which was delicious. Mimosas were great.

Just average definitely wouldn't visit again. The drinks are good, the food is basic Mexican served for fancy yuppie prices in a nice ambiance. Save your money and go elsewhere. I ordered a steak medium, it came out well. All food was barely warm. When I complained all I was offered was a drink or dessert, but at that point I wasn't really interested. There are many better places on the same block with better prices. read more

Wish I could give a zero. Was treated very poorly. Needed to wait for my friend that wouldn't arrive for 30 minutes. Was told I needed wait. I asked to sit at the bar, wait, and possibly get a drink. Was asked a 2nd time moments later, in the same format "where is your friend" so on and so forth... way to talk down on your guests. Will never recommend. read more

Fast service and great food. They also not only have happy hour from 4-7, but also have specials for every night of the week. I went last night (Tuesday) so obviously got a $6 glass of sangria. Not bad! My jibarito was delicious and I would highly recommend. Server was very attentive, helpful, and nice. read more
