Antigua Latin Inspired Kitchen

I've been guilty of forgetting about Antigua and that would be a shame because the food here is unique and delicious! They serve dishes from Latin America & Spain with a similar wine list to complement your meal. (Or they have tasty cocktails and beer). Meals start with toasts and a garlicky spread - very tasty. We tried the Columbiana and chicken empanadas ($4/ea) and while both were good the Columbiana was the winner. It's packed full of seasoned pork and served with a nice spicy salsa. The Mister had elote soup ($6) which was creamy corn deliciousness topped with crisp tortilla strips. For mains, I do love their Cochinita pork but opted for Camarones Antigua ($26?). If you love the concept of cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped shrimp (and you should), get this! It's 8 enormous shrimp, wrapped in crispy bacon (no flab here) and served a mountain of cilantro rice. The mister had the skirt steak which was tender and full of flavor (and an enormous amount).They do have some nice specials on weeknights including specials on tapas and wine. I greatly enjoy both of those things so look forward to checking that out. Service is friendly, the space is bright and the food quality (and overall vais great. We've been missing out for too long - if you haven't been in a while, or haven't tried Antigua you absolutely should.

Such a cool vibe, amazing food, good service!! Will look forward to coming back! Loved the sun dried tomato guacamole, chicken empanada and (not pictured) we also enjoyed the mole chicken!

I was surprised by the quality of the cooking at Antigua Latin. While the kitchen didn't produce James Beard quality food, our Paella was one of the best in Milwaukee. Calling Antigua a Mexican restaurant is a misnomer. The menu is a sampling of food from Central and South America. Perhaps the name represents Antigua, Guatemala, a lovely colonial city. Antigua Latin is family owned, and while the service is a tad amateurish, they mean well. The space is decorated nicely, and the tables are placed a healthy distance from each other. A small bar takes up the front room. I will return to this authentic restaurant with a big heart. Our dinner, with a large, expensive paella that could feed four, and two drinks came to around $80.00. That's a bargain.

Recently tried Antigua for an impromptu date night and was not disappointed!At 7:30pm on a Saturday night, we decided to head out for dinner (without reservations on a Saturday night--not our best laid plan). We hopped on Antigua's online reservation system, which showed them as completely booked. We decided to roll the dice and drop by in the hopes of maybe sitting at the bar. We arrived and were lucky enough to get a table right away!We started things off with cocktails. I ordered their grapefruit margarita (a little watery for my taste (you couldn't really taste the tequila--I described it to my dining companion as the sort of drink that would have been near perfection when I was 25 and revelled in cocktails that didn't actually taste of booze) and my dining companion ordered their platinum margarita which was made with Don Julio silver and was a delight (I may have had a sip or two).For our appetizer we enjoyed their sun dried tomato pumpkin seed guacamole, which was amazing. The sun dried tomatoes added depth of flavor and the pumpkin seeds added just a bit of texture to the lime splashed avocado. Truly, a homerun.For my entree, I opted for the Southwest Chicken Salad with chicken added. I know that sounds redundant but the dish is actually called a southwest chicken salad but it doesn't come with chicken unless you request it (and pay additionally for it). It was fresh and fab with beautiful greens, avocado, queso fresco, tortilla strips, and corn. The dressing was lackluster (tasted bottled, which was odd). So, a bit of a mixed back with that one.The service was lovely and attentive.All and all--I'd definitely come back.And, order their sun dried tomato pumpkin seed guacamole each and every time.Get to it!

Wow wow wow ! This is the second time I come here and the food is as good as the first time. The first time I came here was to celebrate Mother's Day with my mom and the second time was to bring a friend over.We orders the Colombian and chicken empanadas and they were crazy flavorful! The guacamole was also super delicious and creamy. This is the second time I order the Chile en nogada and it doesn't disappoint! Everything about it tastes good together. I was also able to try the churrasco and wow the quality of meat is perfect. For drink I enjoyed the guava margarita. This place was truly an awesome experience so to our server Luca/ Lucas I forgot of there was an s BUT wow the music in hear was amazing as it was a playlist he's made. It truly made the experience here really good! Can't wait to come here again and bring even more people. Thank you for the service, great food, and great energy!

Great decor and service .House margaritas are weak and average.Empanadas are too small and they false advertised on Fox 6 how large they are during morning news show expose.Foods average at best and way overpriced.Go one mile east and get better authentic Latin food.

STOP researching this restaurant and debating where to eat Just go to Antigua, now! I wanted to find a pescatarian/vegetarian friendly Latin restaurant and it didn't take much searching before I happened upon Antigua. I called to see if there was a wait, and we were told there wasn't and to come on by. We were immediately seated and I was instantly struck by how well designed, decorated, and comfy the atmosphere was. Simple touches like the wall decor, bookshelves, and fairy lights were appreciated. For drinks, my partner and I ordered the Spanish Sangria pitcher and woowweee I did not expect it to be that big. It clearly has been made fresh for us, being brought to the table with the juice settling at the bottom, and the wine on top. We were given a large stirring spoon and I personally felt like a witch stirring up my brew. The sangria was delicious and we were feeling nicely by the time we got to the bottom of it! For appetizers we got the sun dried tomato guacamole, and the veggie empanadas. Holy crap- both were so good. The tomatoes were a nice touch, something we hadn't tried before. Salad came with my entree, and was perfectly simple. The dressing was a seasoned olive oil base- delectable and I wish I knew the recipe. Lastly, for our entree I chose the Gambas Al Ajillo and my partner got the Carne a la Tampiquena. My dish was delicious, but unfortunately my partner stated the dish was a bit bland and the steak was very dry. Our waitress was named Ashley and she was so patient, kind, and accommodating. She never hesitated to answer our questions and was very attentive. Truly, every single aspect of our dining experience exceeded our expectations. Besides, the steak, everything was perfect. We certainly will be going back and I suggest you do the same!

Went to Antigua for a date night and it did not disappoint! We started with a couple drinks and the nacho appetizer. The pulled pork on the nacho's was very good and I would recommend them. I also preferred the corn chowder and an empanada which were both very good. I left stuffed and happy. We will definitely be going back again here soon!

Antigua was great! I saw they had a Chile En Nogada on the menu which is hard to find and I had to try it, and it was delicious! I loved the nachos coming in a cast iron skillet, the pork was seasoned well and was the highlight. The sangria was amazing and we also tried the Paloma which was good as well!

Food was fantastic. Drinks went down well, and the service was top notch. The tequila chicken was spicy and flavorful. The empinadas and the sauce were flavorful and hit the spot. A little out of the corner place in West Allis, so it doesn't have downtown prices, but has great food.
