The New Cafe & Bistro — Restaurant in Racine

Had brunch today, the menu has a lot of nice options. I had requested iced tea, they didn't have any, no problem I requested Hibiscus Agua Fresca. It was freshly prepared, bitter, I should have requested sweetener. We also had a spicy jalapeño Bloody Mary which was good, but very sparse for the $12.00 price.

We ordered the Chilaquiles Bowl, Crispy Chicken Tacos with Fruit Bowl and Beef Birria Tacos. Everything tasted okay, the Beef Birria was very good. The Chilaquiles and the Chicken Tacos were a little bland tasting, but nothing a little more seasoning couldn't fix.

They need to put salt and pepper on the tables. I think the little bit of salt would have definitely made the difference. Lastly, this is petty, but, their napkins are horrible. We each had 1 napkin, these weren't the heavy duty napkins you get in most restaurants, these were thin napkins that you use on you own dinner table. We were eating messy tacos and the napkins literally disintegrated after 2 or three wipes from the tacos. Our server didn't notice, or offer to bring more napkins to the table. If you're going to use those thin flimsy napkins, then please leave a stack...

New place still working out the kinks. I ordered the veggie potatoes with chorizo. It definitely needs more veggies—there were just a few small pieces. It also didn’t come with cheese, which would’ve helped the flavor. I asked for sour cream, and they brought what they said was crema, but it was basically whipping cream.

I also tried the small yogurt bowl, which was delicious! My kids loved their food too, and the coffee was really good. All of the fruit was super fresh and flavorful.

My husband got the chocolate banana crepes. He said the crepes were great and the bananas were caramelized perfectly, but he was disappointed they used Hershey’s syrup, especially considering how expensive the dish was.

Our server was just okay, but not very attentive, and we had to flag down someone else for water and coffee. That said, the manager comped us and genuinely listened to our feedback. Another staff member (maybe a supervisor?) was very kind and helpful.

We’ll definitely give...

Order chilaqiuiles Flight with chorizo and waitress came back saying sorry we don't have chorizo , steak or chicken so I said steak I'm like oh good steaks going to be delicious right so she brings my plate back and it looks so nice and I thought my steak was going to be nice and cooked but it wasn't it was not even chewable it was so hard it's like chewing shoe leather so I told the waitress about it that it was barely chewable and you think she would say I'll take it back and have him grill it more but she didn't even try saying that , that's the only problem we had is the steak it was so unchewable and to top it off my husband's Burger triple treat his meat the same the steak was so unchewable he left like about four big pieces cuz he couldn't chew no more that was so sad and the waitress knew about it but didn't do nothing about it you know offered to take the plates back so they could grill the meat...
