Cafecito, the first restaurant off the lake on Fullerton, offers a rich cafe con leche and a variety of delicious food options. This casual spot provides good food and friendly service, with a lively atmosphere highlighted by colorful decor. The menu is extensive, catering to both caffeine and alcohol needs. Cafecito features great Cuban food, including a generous selection of vegan dishes such as provoleta and yucca "tater" tots. The Cubano is as good as ever, and the fried Yuka and the Caldo Gallego are as always excellent. Nachos are made with plantain chips topped with mango pico de gallo, and the classic Cuban sandwich remains a favorite. The vegan Le Playa Sandwich is a decadent breakfast option with Beyond sausage, spinach, red pepper, chimichurri, mojo, and vegan provolone, which is highly praised. The staff are very kind, patient, and enthusiastic, creating an inviting environment where customers feel well taken care of. Overall, Cafecito combines great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service, making it a popular spot for both casual dining and studying.
