Vicki and Danielle (and the Chef!!) are incredibly accommodating, friendly and make exceptional food. I’ve been coming here for years and just yesterday!! The portions are huge and I had lunch today from the left overs!! They are just as great as yesterday!!! I read some of the reviews below and find it frustrating that people can just review a one star for waiting . For a place like this, a small restaurant that provides quality over quantity sounds like the people should just go to a fast food joint for a quick meal. I’ve been a customer since before Covid and the food and customer service has never wavered. I drive from NJ and pass dozens of places since I moved to get here. It’s quality and care. If you’re looking for a place that didn’t loose the ability to make you feel like it was worth the choice, come here. Seriously are you on your way?? If not, the brownies should make you quickly get in your car and drive here. Or the homemade whip cream, you’re welcome!!!!
We only got the Argentina empanades. They liked and smelled delicious but sadly there was really no flavor or sense of spices or herbs when we bit into them. The place was crowded and other platters liked delicious.
I had the tapioca wrap (chicken) and it was so good and healthy. Flavorful too! All made to order. Fresh squeezed orange juice was very good. Love the vibe and customer service was great! They have different specials and really great Latin foods. Chocolate truffles were so good - I ate 3!
I love this place - we’ve been coming here for years. The food is always fresh and so delicious. I love the blackened chicken garden salad (the balsamic dressing is top notch) and the sweet potato and jalapeño soup.
the people are very nice. however I ordered a vegan burrito and it felt sweet. it was also very dry and needs some salsa to go with it. I wanted a different side besides a salad so I got the turmeric split pea soup which I was happy with.
Went to the Salt Cave for some much needed meditation with my lovely partner. Relaxed we agreed to try this place Cafe Con Loche. I'd consider us foodies of sorts. I'll tell ya honestly...we were floored by the food here. We ordered the Bruschetta, Blackened Chicken and Chicken Burrito. All were absolutely phenomenal. Our server was aces. She had perfect timing and was a pleasure. The place is super cozy. The ambience was chill. Might be the salt talking but I loved it. Thanks Cafe Con Loche. You made our trip to Newtown complete. Long may you run.
