Been coming here for years but it has been a while since the last visit. The breakfast burrito and a cafe con leche are always the go-to and they did not disappoint again! Will be back again, sooner this time.

Coming from San Francisco, we were hesitant to try Latin food out here. We were glad we gave Cafe Con Leche a chance because it was better than most of the Mexican/Salvadorian food we have in the California. Nice server and very tasty tacos/burritos. Try it!!!!
October 2024
Oh my god. So amazing. Such quick service and such friendly staff. Although I got the torta de milanesa, I am certain that anything you order will be to die for. The prices were reasonable for the area and the quality of food/service. Coming back again, HIGHLY recommend.
