Friday fish fry was a great deal. Good live music. Every worker was extremely kind and polite. Also, check out art gallery on main floor. Was very cool.

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!

Everything is delicious here and every Friday they have live music. I would love to see some more options in the menu but the buffet in general is great.

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!

I had won gift certificates. We went twice. Second time we ordered soup. We didn't know it was 7.95a bowl.😔yikes. But the fish fry was good as well as the first time we went. The people are very nice from the time you walk in the door.

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❣️ 🥰

Try to come when there’s live music! Live music makes this place feel like home imo.
