Editorial Review for Cafe de la Paz – by Kirstin Jackson-Ellis
In Short
Dishing up Latin and Spanish flavors, Cafe de la Paz lights up Shattuck Avenue with its colorful plates and consistently lively night scene. Lately, the food is said to be alternating between good and mediocre, but their Venezuelan pancakes keep customers coming back, and the spunky sangria and mojitos convert dozens every weekend.

Owner was great at fixing a miscommunication we had. Very straightforward, amicable and respectful. They try hard and will probably succeed regardless of glitches described further.

I was entirely underwhelmed by the food and service at Cafe de La Paz. Went in for lunch, excited to get some traditional South American cuisine. But, the dishes were far from authentic. Rather than incuding dishes that were traditional to particular countries, the cafe features a mish-mashed variety of hybrid dishes that are vaguely South American. One might say this is pan-South-American cuisine. This need not necessarily be a bad thing. However, the combinations of ingredients seemed uninspired and overall the meal fell flat. Nothing was terrible, but nothing stood out either. Also, despite a relatively empty restaurant, the service was painfully slow.
