Cozy neigborhood place. Authentic food? (meh) Tasty and good for the price? (yes) Drinks are heavy poor. Atmosphere - charming. Service, well, make sure you like who you show up with -- you'll be chatting a bunch before dining.

Is the service like what other reviews say? I probably wouldn't be so harsh. Took them a while to come over to us, but the food came out pretty quickly. The coffee was awesome, and my cuban eggs benedict was great. Their homemade hot sauce is incredible. Overall, I'd say it was a terrific brunch, and I'll definitely be going back. Just what I was looking for on a sunday.

Delivery was relatively fast but the food is not good. The sweet plantains were dry, too thick and not sweet, the chicken was leathery, beans were insipid & tasteless. Even the flan was old & lacked smoothness. I will never order from here again.

Picadillo was cooked ground beef, dry, with olives and raisins tossed in at the end. Empanadas are more like giant wontons, with the same filling. In one order, 3 items were incorrect, possibly because the person answering the phone did not understand Spanish and did not know the menu, I had to spell the dishes. The rice was so soggy and overcooked you could squeeze liquid out of it. the "maduros" were hard and dry, and not ripe. They should have stated that they could make tostones only, but these weren't even prepared in that way. There was not a single dish in our large order with any seasoning. Unfortunately, this has been true for the last several times I ordered, so it's not just an off night for the kitchen. There is nothing authentic about their recipes or preparation, and even if you wanted a simple neighborhood meal, this would disappoint. Any home cook could do better.

We have been going to Cafe Con Leche for over six years and have never been disappointed. The food as well as the drinks are very good. The service is great and the manager is super friendly. It is not a pretentious upscale place, just a great neighborhood joint.

i order from here regularly because the steamed veg in black bean sauce is a good lower calorie option, the habanero salsa is very good. i've had some of the other veg options and they were boring. ALWAYS check your bill, it's regulary higher than it should be. i let it go if it's off by less than a dollar, i called angrily when it was off by five dollars (!!!) and they were quick to correct.

I read these reviews and I think, "what do these people want? Cuban food Nirvana?" This place has great food. Is it authentic? I don't know, I've never been to Cuba. Is is good? Yes. Is it a great value? Yes. Will it change your life. No. If you want authentic Cuban food, go to Cuba. If you want a good meal based on Cuban food aesthetics, go to Cafe con Leche.
