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!

Hidden Gem Alert! This place is connected to a school (UCC) it’s open to the public. I was so hungry I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of my meal, but I was able to capture my fiancés lunch. He went for their famous Friday Fish Fry!

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❣️ 🥰

Went for the Friday Fish Fry. It includes a buffet of fried and baked fish, and French fries. Plus several Mexican / Puerto Rican dishes: Rice, beans, salad, cheese enchiladas and chicken. The rice and beans were Puerto Rican style and delicious.

The fish appeared to be hand breaded, very light and with just a touch of spice.

Overall, a fun and unique fish fry experience.

The regular menu is not available Fridays, once the fish fry / buffet has started (5:00 pm).

So, we'll be back to try their breakfast and other regular menu items.

BTW, the Cafe El Sol is located in the basement of the United Community Center. Enter through the front door of the United Community Center. Ask at the front desk for directions or you may...

I thought the food was very, very good, the price was very reasonable, and both the atmosphere and service was excellent. Honestly the one complaint I have… is I was looking for a Mexican buffet. The web suggested this restaurant. When I checked the menu online, it didn’t confirm OR NOT confirm this. I came to eat here on a Wednesday around 12:50PM. I saw no indication of a buffet. After I ate, I inquired and was told the buffet is only offered Fridays! PLEASE , tell me where a person might acquire this information on the website or menu. And the funny thing was, I suspected all along that there wouldn’t be one. That said, I’ll be back because the food was not a disappointment. I will probably...
