The Maine Sunday Telegram has reviewed Quiero Cafe.
If you visit, start with a pulled-pork-and-fried-plantain Puerco empanada and move on to aioli-topped yucca fries and either a toasty, chorizo-stuffed choripan sandwich or the uncompromisingly indulgent Colombiano hot dog, loaded with mayo, pineapple salsa and crushed potato chips. Skip dessert, but don’t miss one of the smoothies or milkshake-style juices, especially the bracing lulo, blended with whole milk into an icy, Creamsicle-like treat.

In terms of businesses there have been several, including a bike shop and a cafe called Mr Sandwich and Mrs Muffin. What I’ve noticed elsewhere in town is some locations have a lot of turnover and then the right match of business and location happens and it becomes a longtime home. 653 Congress where Kushiya Benkay is, is a good example.
