Cafe Americana

Indulgence at its Finest

What makes it fun

Step into Café Americana and let the sparks (and cocktails) fly. This chic hotspot is a lush blend of tropical green walls, hanging plants, colorful art, and repurposed church pew seating that creates a vibe that’s both eclectic and cozy intimate. The menu is a global love letter that features Spanish tapas, Argentinian steaks, Peruvian skewers, Caribbean cocktails, and paella with a Texas twist. The cocktail game is as flirtatious as it gets. Sip on playful creations like Risque Margarita Exotica or the Lil Cardi B.

We had an amazing evening at Cafe American! Every single dish we tried was absolutely delicious — full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The ambiance is so stylish and cool, with such a relaxed and welcoming vibe. You can tell that everything is thoughtfully designed. The owner is incredibly kind and gracious. We came as a family — my husband, daughter, and I — and had a truly wonderful time. Definitely one of the best dining experiences we’ve had lately

Officially my new Sunday brunch spot! 🥰 I loved everything from the moment I walked in, to our amazing waitress Audrey, and the delicious food. Can't wait to come back!

Excellent brunch. Was nearly empty right at opening on Sunday at 11am. Had the Paloma, the Shrimp & Grits, and the Coconut Cake all of which were excellent. The coconut cake in particular was outstanding (and huge). Service was good/friendly, atmosphere was good, and it wasn't too big of a restaurant either which is nice. Really really hope this place sticks around for the long haul, it's great. Manager note: Just FYI, the bathroom faucet's hot water can get absurdly hot and absolutely did burn my hand. Please dial it back, and get a faucet that is more easily adjustable.

First time there but not last time! Chicken and waffles was enough for two people! Served hot and fresh and the chicken was seasoned perfectly! Crispy on outside and juicy inside. Cocktails was delicious! Customer service was fast and friendly. Dining room was decorated with live plants and so colorful

Fear not the exterior. Everything about the inside of Cafe Americana is lovely. including the design, vibe, food and service. We were fortunate to have Roxanne as our server. She did a marvelous job of educating us as first timers without answering questions we didn't ask. Must have items include the seafood paella and mussels.

Absolutely a must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by how aesthetically pleasing the place is, cozy chic, every corner is Instagram-worthy with such thoughtful decor. The vibes are just chef’s kiss. Our server (I wish I remembered his name!) was an absolute delight, so warm and attentive. The service was wonderful from start to finish. Now the food… heavenly. Every dish felt like a special treat. We indulged in a flavorful seafood paella, a perfectly crisp yucca dish, pan con tomate, and a chef’s creation with couscous that I still can’t stop thinking about, though I wish I remembered the name! We found out the menu rotates every 3 months, so definitely enjoy your favorites while they last because wow, they’re worth it. We celebrated our wedding anniversary here with friends and even ended up staying past closing. The staff was so accommodating and kind, it really made the night feel extra special. It’s been a couple of weeks and I’m still dreaming about that meal. Can’t wait to go back and try what the chef comes up with next!

Finally got to visit Café Americana today. Had read so many great reviews, had to try it out, so glad we did, it exceeded all our expectations. A wonderful experience! My husband and I ordered the Seafood Paella and the New York Strip--both super delicious and very flavorful. The crispy pork was incredible, we couldn't get enough of this tasty dish, the honey sauce it comes with, needs to be bottled and sold! Our cocktails drinks were great! The Sangria was so refreshing and the Old Fashioned was a winner as well. Now, as for the Coconut Cake, Wow!!!! It comes with a dark rum pineapple sauce and burnt merengue--all those flavors combined is mind-blowing, we've never tasted a cake like theirs, please order it, you will not be disappointed. As for the staff--they were all just wonderful! Our server Christian, had a smile from the time we sat at our table and until we left, we really enjoyed his friendly personality and suggestions. Karla, one of the managers, was just super kind, friendly, and just has the best personality. We immediately felt so welcomed and comfortable. The atmosphere is such a beautiful unique, place and I'm glad it's part of Arlington.
