Café El Sol — Restaurant in Milwaukee

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.

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...
