Was super excited to try out some Puertorican food. Went straight from the airport when my Uber arrived the places was closed. Bummer
This place took over a popular breakfast diner near Newark Airport and all signs now say "Cafe con Pan" outside. But inside, the 2-person cook staff was wearing "Esquina del Coqui" t-shirts. We ate a hearty portion of bacon and eggs, a light and well cooked potato ball stuffed with beef and some very good cafe con leche. They have lots of empanadas and pastries in a case, they bake custom cakes, and have some chafing dishes of meat and chicken stews. Didn't try that so can't speak to the main dishes. Very nice team and very welcoming. Lots of truckers coming in for takeout so assuming food is pretty good. Certainly cheap. Sidewalk seating available too.

Went for breakfast with my daughter. Placed order. Pancakes, eggs, bacon and coffee. Place was empty. Waited for about 25 minutes. Received our food separately. I waited for my daughter to get her plate for about another 5 minutes. I asked for fried eggs ?, but was served scrambled. I was charged nearly $30. Not a place I would return to. I could have gotten better service and value at McDonald's.

You can't order what you want, only what's available for that certain day and each day is something different but if I can't order what I want then this place is not for me.
This place is amazing! The breakfast took me back to Puerto Rico. The flavor was good and the place was clean. The staff was very friendly and I felt like I was back home talking with family. Check them out if you are in Newark area.
