Unfortunately, I have to partially agree with Adam Cohen's review. Cesar's cafe is certainly not the same under the new management. New chef that works with Angel is not as good, struggling with wraps and overcooking grilled chicken. Salads are still good, same price and same ingredients are available. Regular customers welcomed the return of credit card machine. A word of advice to a new owner: don't change the specials menu, regular customers are used to see certain specials on certain days.

Cesar’s is hands down the best spot for lunch in the area. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. They do get quite busy at lunch. Bear in mind this is a small space and during lunch will be packed. Been coming here for the past 4+ years and has never disappointed.

Man this place is amazing with excellent food and excellent customer service. If I can give 10 stars I would. The wraps are delicious and chicken spot on. I recommend this place to anyone who is Downtown Brooklyn. Also the prices very affordable.
