Hit me with some cafe music

I'm putting together a bunch of mixes for my lady to play at the cafe she works at. It's a cool spot and the owners are into indie rock, but they're also South American and the menu and atmosphere have a bit of a Latin vibe. I figure it's a slow day, so hit me with some recommendations!
I'm starting to realize that mid-tempo indie rock/Latin/beats (not too upbeat or downbeat and not to edgy or downer) is a bit of a tricky bill to fill. Not exactly my DJing or personal taste wheelhouse.
For example, some stuff I've picked for the alter rock-leaning disc so far:
Velvet Underground - She's My Best Friend
David Bowie - Here Comes the Night
Johnny Thunders - (She's So) Untouchable
Brian Eno - Cindy Tells Me
The Clash - Spanish Bombs
I'm also pulling stuff for a Latin rock disc, a downtempo/midtempo disc, and a soul disc. Holleur!

I've been revisiting a gang of balzing downtmepo today trying to pull tracks. A lot of stuff has aged very poorly.
Yeah, but my game fizzles around 2007.
I play at my local restaurant and the black folks dont wanna here no hour of that shit.
