    I absolutely concur with silentmeow and the dishola duo on the Quatro Leches cake at the Buenos Aires Cafe. I'd call it the best tres leches in austin, but since it's actually made with quatro leches, it's in a category unto itself! (I'm not sure what the fourth milk is...perhaps goat milk?)
    I love the way the cake is swimming in the caramel sauce -- it is so moist! And the whipped cream is obviously homemade, but not too sweet. This is one of my favorite desserts in Austin.

    This is a great review!

    Although I'm not usually big on sweets this is one of the best deserts I've ever had. Really its that good.

    This is a great review!

    Fans of Tres Leches must try Quatro Leches. It is by far the best "leches" cake I've ever had. It is a true Dishola! It is moist, icy cold, and topped with the perfect amount of whipped cream plus more caramel leches. So good! For me, there are two things required in a leches cake: 1) the cake must be evenly soaked with the leches and 2) it must arrive at your table super cold. Buenos Aires Cafe consistently achieves both. I am so confident in their Quatro Leches that I even ordered an entire cake for a party. Another plus is that all the employees there are wonderful. When I picked up the whole cake they carried it to my car and included extra caramel leches to put on top. When I went there for dessert with friends the waiter overheard me say I preferred white wine with my dessert, but because my friends wanted red I was happy to share a bottle of red with them: the waiter brought me a glass of white wine on the house. That's probably the nicest thing that's ever happened to me in a restaurant.

    This is a great review!
