★★★★★ 5.0 Will P · Jan 2024

It was a little odd getting into the restaurant, but they have a great fish fry/buffet. Margaritas are definitely worth it. The staff was extremely nice and attentive, and the live music was fantastic.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cindy Solano · Jul 2023

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!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Junior acevedo · Jan 2024

We had fun. The food variety needs to improve on the Friday’s buffet. desserts and coffee should be added for $17.95 per person.

★★★★★ 5.0 Mark P. Behar · May 2023

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!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Shari OBrien · Sep 2023
