My friends and I have made Mundo Cafe our second home, we have been there many times and try to dine there at least once a month. The atmosphere is very cozy and though casual the space has a romantic feel as well. The staff is very friendly as are the owners and one feels very welcome. \r
And then there is the food. The Red Sonja, a signature appetizer is simply addicting, made of lentils and delicious seasoning it is a hand formed soft cake which is wrapped in a lettuce leaf with lemon juice squeezed all over and eaten as a mini burrito. The other appetizers are just as worthy, though the Sonja alone will keep you coming back. The entrees are all very tasty, I really enjoy the crab burger and the breaded chicken (their fries are fantastic, seasoned well and always crisp and fresh). The last time we ate there they had started serving a special dish for the fall and winter, a whole pumpkin baked with a creamy but light sauce of veggies and shrimp (enormous amount of them) inside. It is meant to be an entree for 2, and it is very filling, but I found it hard to let anyone else have some, truly a perfection of a meal. \r
With a great (and cheap) wine list and heavenly deserts to complete the menu, Mundo is truly a gem.\r

Reservation is always a good idea, can be quite busy even on random weekday nights.
Pros: very affordable, pleasant space and staff and amazing food
