Quiero Cafe LLC

Cute little cafe with crazy delicious food! The empanada list is super long with several vegetarian in options. Today I went with the classic queso, it was different from some traditional empanadas like I was expecting but super good. I also got the yuca fries, the aoli and cheese topping was so good, I completely stuffed myself with every last bite.

Lunch at Quiero Cafe was fantastic!! The cubano on bread, the hotdog Colombiano, chorizo lunch platter, chicken tamale and yuca fries were all extremely impressive and satisfying.

Quality on these items was through the roof authentic, and the price/value was very fair.

Highly recommend Quiero to all - this little restaurant would hold its own in competition with big city alternatives

Really delicious. Everything was super fresh and house made. We've eaten here twice now getting different things and it's just amazing food. They also have non dairy options, gluten free options and vegetarian and vegan options. They really cater to everyone. Hubby loves their empanadas and I really love their fried plantains in all their shapes and forms. Especially the patacon. I also had their mango margarita and it was delicious made with fresh mangoes. I want to be upset about how difficult it was too drink at the end with all the fresh muddled mangoes but I just can't. It ended up the perfect dessert at the end of the drink: boozy mango. I was also very impressed by all the little ways they were environmentally sustainable.

One of my favorite places to get food from since I moved to Saco. I love how the empanadas have the flavor printed on them and I can stop ordering the fried cheese. I have personally ordered a few different smoothies which I have been happy with and my partner orders the iced coffees which he loves. It has such a nice atmosphere and I wish I could eat here more

Everything was delicious and authentic. Hot tostones. Delicious variety of empanadas. Lots of house made dips, salsas, and sauces to try. We had the Lunch special with chorizo and the Peruvian steak.

What a find! The carnitas here are some of the best I have EVER had. We loved the Patacon, a fried plantain topped with meat of your choice + lettuce, avocado and pink sauce and served with rice and black beans. I cant imagine it being better than with the pork, the juices of which soaked down into the plantain and made it extra delicious. The fried empanadas were a bit sweet for us, but we loved the jalapeno-cheese tamale, and the coconut limeaid which tasted like a delicious virgin cocktail. Counter-order and casual. Mostly takeout, and we dined in and found the sporks a bit challenging. But we cant wait to make this a regular spot.

Authentic Puerto Rican recipes. The coffee and churros were outstanding.

Maine needs more spots like Quiero Cafe and less cookie-cutter taco joints. Latin American food is more than Mexican - obviously there’s some crossover from country to country but we need some variety. I was so excited to see tamales, arepas, and even Colombian hot dogs. I went with the chorizo empanada and the chicken tamale on my initial visit. The tamale was a bit dry but otherwise delicious and the empanada was probably close to the best I’ve ever had - perfectly crispy dough and just the right size. These are simple, homey dishes and they’re executed very well. Don’t come here and order a quesadilla but instead explore something new - my plan is to try the Chileno hot dog next time (avocado, mayo, sauerkraut and tomatoes - sounds delicious).

Beautiful space with exposed beams. Friendly and professional service. The food was delicious and very fresh; made to order. Lots of gluten-free options. You order at the counter and then take a seat. My family give it two thumbs up!

Definitely a local favorite for me! I have never had bad food, or any sort of bad experience here. Staff is amazingly friendly, and the service is always relatively quick for made to order food, even when they are semi busy! I recommend the sweet corn arepa, any of the empanadas (but especially the puerco, dulce, arequipe, or champinon, some of my favorites), and the queso frito with pineapple! The cafe con arequipa is also phenomenal.

Really cute little Cafe, friendly staff, and food that makes me miss living in Miami. Great coffee too.

Delicioso!! What a jewel...the owners, the ambiance and, of course, the food, was all amazing. I will definitely be back when I visit Saco again soon. And what a surprise to find a Chilean "completo" hot dog 😍

Cool Vibe. Fantastic food. Everything tastes fresh and well balanced. House margaritas are well balanced, not too sweet. Limited seating inside. Reccomend.

If you want some real Latin food this is the place. I ordered the Pollo and Puerco empanadas and they are made fresh along with the mango limeade. The cool thing is they stanp each empanada with their names on it as seen in the food picture.

Juan held it down! Food was fire! Wife loved here piña drink! The champion empanada is AMAZING!!!! GOOD GOD!!!

What a wonderful spot! We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was outstanding!

If you're looking for a delicious lunch, the empanadas & a smoothie from Quiero Café are where it's at. Their pollo empanada is the best comfort food & their puerco empanada (pulled pork & plantains) is legit one of the best things I've ever tasted!

Cute cafe with unique offerings for the area. I just stopped in for a quick snack, not a meal. It was a hot day so I got the Rosa smoothie, and it was great. They have some pastries and desserts, as well as different granola bars, in addition to the menu items. Not sure if I'd pick this place if I had a big appetite, seems more like a 'small bites' type of place, but I do want to come back to try more!

I ordered take out, the woman was not overly friendly but not rude. She just took my order and handed me the pager.
The food was delicious. The menu seemed a bit of a fusion but very interesting. I ordered the chips and guacamole and the Cubano. Not enough guacamole for the amount of chips, but it was excellent. The Cubano was different from others I've had, it seemed to be the BBQ one, which isn't what I ordered, but I could be wrong. It tasted good anyway. I would go back to try some of their other foods, or just for the guacamole! The cafe itself was open and quiet, a few people in there. It's got a rustic feel to it, nice atmosphere. I would definitely go again.

Fresh and delicious! Cubanos and empanadas are great, especially puerco and chorizo.
They have a large selection of drinks - smoothies, limeades, daiquiris, and coffees. My favorites are the verde smoothie, regular limeade, and espresso.
The dining room is spacious with only 6 or so tables, and 2 tables outside. Most people get take out, every time we dine-in there are free tables.
