Cafe El Sol is a hidden gem on the lower level of a south side community center. Frozen margaritas were perfect (mango and strawberry), both rich and flavorful with just enough ice. All you can eat buffet with my absolute favorite -in-town purple coleslaw (with celantro, lime, jalapeno and maybe something secret?), rice, breaded fried cod (flavorful, deliciously distinctive from others who served great fish fries in Milwaukee). Several other items on buffet which I regret not sampling, but ohh! The fish, slaw & rice were so-o good! Chips & salsa served as well! Tonight, the live entertainment included flamenco dancers along with Funcion Flamenco, a great musical treat! The only thing missing were castinets!

Friday fish fry was a great deal. Good live music. Every worker was extremely kind and polite. Also, check out art gallery on main floor. Was very cool.

What a great way to wind up a work-week: wonderful freshly prepared home-cooking with lots of fresh vegetables. The music was fun. Ambiance 5 on a scale of 1-5. Hospitality and service, 5. A new happy place for me❣️

I had won gift certificates. We went twice. Second time we ordered soup. We didn’t know it was 7.95a bowl. yikes. But the fish fry was good as well as the first time we went. The people are very nice from the time you walk in the door.

The waitress was sweet. The food left a lot to be desired. My husband ordered carne frita. Very little flavor and the puerto rican rice wasn’t really puerto rican and wasn’t really Mexican. They served both cuisines there and it was a mix of both and not very tasty. I ordered churrasco. It was a very cheap cut of meat that was tough and tasted spoiled.

We went there for the Friday fish buffet. Fried and baked fish, a beef dish similar to fajitas, a selection of salads, rice, beans, all freshly made. Plus, a live duo singing mellow Latin music. And Modelos. A very nice night out.
