Café Corazón

"Our favorite Mexican restaurant in Milwaukee! Always met with the most welcoming employees and great service. The food speaks for itself 10/10 would recommend!!"

La Casa De Alberto Mexican Food

★★★★☆ 4.4 (364) • $$

"When the husband suggested we go to La Casa De Alberto for dinner, I'll be honest I was hesitant, I had never heard of this restaurant and he was trying to tell me this was some of the best Mexican food in town. Well.... I'll say it once, he was right!! Don't judge a book by it's cover, not the nicest exterior but an authentic Mexican restaurant feel inside. When we arrived we were instantly greeted and chose to sit at two top table. After we sat and ordered our half pitcher of margaritas we discovered our table was wobbly. The waitress was so kind, she offered to switch us to another table or fix it - so next thing you know she's on her hands and knees fixing our table so we can enjoy our meal. Okay to the food. Our waitress suggested the mole enchiladas and so I took her up on it, even though I'm not normally a mole person (normally a red or green enchilada sauce girlie). All I can say is WOW!!!! The BEST mole I have ever had in my life. I scarfed down the first enchilada before my husband finished half of a taco, he looked at me and knew I was in heaven. He chose to have the pork and pineapple tacos which were also delish but the mole enchiladas were the winner entree of the night. Food 10/10Service 10/10 We will be back again, and I will be suggesting this restaurant to my friends and family!"

La Fogata Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (416) • $$

"Stopped by for a birthday lunch. Our server was not only extremely patient but very kind as we took our time figuring out what to order. We got our food pretty quickly and also plenty of boxes to take leftovers home. Unfortunately, I got sick that night though after eating here. I don't think I'll stop coming here because they do more right than wrong but I might avoid the chicken tacos next time. All in all, great service and great vibes."

Cafe Corazon

★★★★☆ 4.2 (363) • $$

"Great brunch spot in Bayview. I had the Pig Out Torta which I would highly recommend. We sat at the bar and the service was outstanding. They also offer many vegan options and have a happy hour durning the week!"

Botanas Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (425) • $$

"I am glad to have visited this eatery. Festive decor for Dia de los Muertos celebrations. Upon entering the establishment, I was greeted with a warm smile and seated promptly. Ordered the Mexican pizza and it was bomb! Requested a take home box ; my order was plenty."

El Beso Greenfield - Mexican Restaurante & Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.6 (395) • $$

"El Beso is fine. I've been twice. Service is good. The chips and salsa are decent. The salsa has good flavor and is very mild. The first time, I had the chicken mole entree. It was decent. The second time, I had the steak street tacos El Beso style. Those were good; I'd get those again. The rice and beans are so so; they are not my favorite. I think if I come back, I'll get tacos a la carte without rice and beans."

Conejitos Place

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (497) • $

"Ah Conejitos, where to begin? It has this mythical, legendary status amongst the Milwaukee locals. Why the legendary status? I'm not sure to be honest. Maybe it's the simple fact they serve the food on paper plates. The price is definitely right if you are on a budget. The margaritas are definitely on point, maybe the best in the city.After that though, there is not much to offer here. The food is not authentic and the place looks rundown. I like a simple, hole in the wall joints but this place just feels old and outdated. The tacos come with lettuce and tomato - gringo style anyone?The menu options are limited and the food just lacks in quality and flavor. There are so many great Mexican restaurants nearby, I would only steer someone here to experience it for what it is: A simple, average and inexpensive meal with some really solid margaritas.I'm all about trying new places, so if you've never been go ahead and try it once, but I highly doubt you will return."

Tapatios

★★★★★ 4.5 (204) • $$

"I took out lunch from here on a week day. As this place is in a mall, there were ample parking spots around. I went for a Enchiladas de la abuela. It was good. But I was expecting it to be more flavorful from the description of the item."

Texas Bebe’s Quesobirria

★★★★★ 4.5 (204)

"Absolutely great food! Location is a bit out of the way, but worth the drive if you are in the area around Grayslake. The two gripes that I had were: 1) customer service and 2) prices.Customer service was fine, but the lady who took care of my carryout order was very emotionless and I was even considering asking if this had been a busy day, as she looked really tired. The prices have changed from some of the photos. The menu photos reflect older prices, and unfortunately, we did not check when placing an order. The prices are higher now. For some items, like a torta sandwich, the price is almost double. It would be great if they posted the latest prices on Yelp. Still giving it a 5 stars because the food was absolutely amazing and totally hit the spot for us. We ordered #1, the Birria Chan, and a torta sandwich. Definitely recommend this place, but check the prices before placing the order."

Antigua Latin Inspired Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (244) • $$

"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!"

Taqueria Buenavista

★★★★☆ 4.1 (218) • $

"I can't stop thinking about these shrimp tacos! Absolutely delicious! The guys at the counter were cute and sweet and helpful. Food was fresh and hot. The sauces were and I can't wait to go back and try the lengua!"

Al Pastor

★★★★☆ 4.3 (198) • $

"I can't believe I hadn't known about Al Pastor! Wow, great place with authentic Mexican. There was a special on Mexican Street Corn in a dish and while it came out with my meal instead of as an appetizer, it was glorious. Roasted corn fresh off the cob, incredibly fresh! The Bistec in Salsa Verde with cilantro, potatoes, onion and green medium sauce was perfection. They serve some breakfast items all day, and I can't wait to return to try more!"

La Mestiza

★★★★☆ 3.9 (226) • $$

"Updating to appreciate ... I order chilaquiles so much that this most recent order I simply ordered as provided online. Got home and found a side of onions and cilantro in my salsa bag. They really remember how I prefer to eat chilaquiles but didn't order it as such this time because I wasn't in the mood. Ordering online requires a $10 minimum. The chips are always hot at pickup. The containers are packed for traveling but I always ask to leave the lettuce off for the Mexican sampler does not travel well with it. Neither the ceviche. But downtown from the westside is brutal if the Beltline has an issue. Overall, I highly recommend."

Chilango Express

★★★★☆ 4.3 (179) • $

"I reached out to Chilango for a small catering order (150 tacos) and they were so easy to work with. I was able to do half corn and half tortilla and they put the cilantro, onion, lime, and salsa on the side. They put the meat in the shell and wrapped them in 3s. Which was perfect because the tacos were still warm when delivered. I was able to get delivery to Muskego for a retirement party which made it so much easier. The tacos were a huge hit! I would highly recommend Chilango if you were you looking for catering!"

Jalapeno Loco Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (217) • $$

"It's been easily 10 years since my last visit for no other reason than we don't live near this side of town. Today we went out of our way to stop and I'm so glad we did. Service was fantastic. Attentive, accommodating, warm. The drinks--tasty and a solid pour. The star of the show was/is their Cream of Jalapeño Soup. Don't be afraid, get it. It's not spicy. It's rich, creamy, and with multiple notes. There are small chunks of avocado that add to the smooth creaminess. It's really special and a destination dish. I went ala carte and ordered a few things so I didn't have to make a hard decision--steak taco, chicken chimi, chicken enchilada. My husband ordered the Enfrijoladas Oaxaqueñas--two soft corn tortillas filled with shredded chicken and covered with a pasilla chile and black bean sauce topped with queso fresco. It was awesome. If you like fish tacos--try the Baja Fish Tacos--they're amazing. We closed out our meal with complimentary mini Egg Nog Margaritas--you want to say no but the answer should be yes. Don't sleep on this place."

Hacienda Real Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (216) • $$

"We were in town to see the Christmas lights at the Rotary Gardens and needed dinner before heading back to Madison. We had a hankering for Mexican and this place looked like the winner on Yelp.This place really can turn tables fast. The waiter in our section was running to serve the tables - actually running. My butt had not yet hit the seat and he was asking me what I wanted to drink. Crazy.The free chips and salsa were good as was the raspberry margarita (not a good deal compared to the food which was very reasonably priced.) We both ordered the enchiladas supreme which came with four enchiladas but beans and rice were extra. The enchiladas were OK. The red sauce was kind of bland and the cheese in the enchiladas seemed like a cheese sauce. Not impressed.I would look elsewhere for my next Mexican in this area."

Mara's Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (142) • $

"I loved my meal here. It was fresh, well made, delicious and Mara was so kind. The salsa was the best I've had in MKE, the chips were delicious, and she made me a vegetarian burrito that was seriously one of the best I've had. I even liked that she came out of the kitchen and asked me how the meal was. Hopefully enough people will hear about her place so she can get a bigger dining room with ambience. But for now, I want to spread the word that Mara knows how to make seriously great food."

BelAir Cantina

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (278) • $$

"Recently brought my parents to see the capitol building in Madison and after wandering around a bit, were in the mood for some lunch.My dad is a big fan of BelAir Cantina in the Milwaukee area so he was excited to see they had a location near the capitol in Madison.The restaurant itself is bright, sleek, and modern inside.We started things off with their queso blanco fundido which comes with two ample bowls of hot and fresh tortilla chips. The dip itself is a tasty blend of white cheeses and spices. I could eat way too much of this. For my main, I got a quesadilla with a side of guacamole. The quesadilla was tasty with, in addition to the guacamole, a side of crema. I will warn the side of guacamole was huge. It easily provided guacamole for everyone at the table. My dining companion also opted for sweet plantains to share which were decadent and delicious. They were the star of the show for me. Buttery, sweet, and topped with crema and queso fresco--they were absolutely dreamy.The service was prompt and efficient.Get to it!"

Guanajuato Mexican

"Wowza! What an authentic experience! Most excellent and sizable pina colada perfectly blended. Ordered ala carte chimichanga which was also sizable and perfectly stuffed with seasoned steak ! The taco supreme wasSo stacked with steak and toppings and the tostada equally delicious!"

The Spanish Traveler

★★★★☆ 4.1 (173) • $$

"I really wish I could give 3.5 stars. The setup of this place is wildly inefficient, but it's hard to take off a full star because the food is delicious. All orders are taken at the counter and when I was there it was just one woman taking orders. The entire time I was there, the line was out the door. It moves slow because there are lots of options, most things can be customized with the meat, and the menu is hard to see unless you pull it up on your phone. Once you order you take your number back to your table, grab any drinks, and wait for your food to be brought out to you - it's a strange mix of table and counter service. Food comes out as it's ready. For a table of four my family's food came out 15 minutes before mine was done. I went over to the serving station to inquire and was greeted with a look of disdain. Apparently it's not polite to inquire when your family is nearly done and you haven't even received a thing. When you finish you have to take your number back up the counter, keep it mind it's still just one person, and checkout to finalize your bill. Supposedly, this is so you can keep a tab going, but it's not the type of environment that you'd stay all night. So now to the food. The chips that arrive when you sit down are quite nice - a light crunch and a little salt. Wasn't a huge fan of of the salsa. In the spirit of trying things, I had the three choice combo plate. The tostada was a little hard to break apart and eat, but the toppings piled on top made it worth it. The taquito had a perfectly crispy crunch on the outside and packed with meat on the inside. It probably could've used a little dipping sauce. The best item for me was the empanada - crunchy on the outside and light and airy on the inside. It also had toppings over the top to add a bit more dimension. As is, I recommend you order ahead or delivery if it's possible to avoid the chaotic service. Certainly the best mix of Latin American food you will get in the area."

El Camino Kitchen

Jalisco Mexican Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (224) • $$

"I decided to take my coworker out for lunch today and have to say it was a good choice. So, let me get into it! The moment you enter Jalisco Restaurant you can feel how welcoming the staff is. It is very laid back and easy going. It will have to say it was very popping! There was a huge party that filled the entire store! That's how one knows it's good I will say! The food was excellent. I got the tortas and I did like it a lot. The chicken was very juicy and very tasty. I could tell the cooks really cared about the dish and even my friend food. The service was pretty good only thing was our waitress forgot to bring our chips out. Overall, I will say this is the spot for tacos in this area!"

Taqueria El Cabrito

★★★★☆ 4.1 (137) • $

"My first time trying this Mexican restaurant. They were bust but it wasn't packed, which is nice. Everyone speaks Spanish there, which is nice! It has a mom and pop feel to it!They serve chips and salsa to start. The salsa was spicy and I quite enjoyed it. I just decided to order some tacos. I got one fish, steak and 2 al pastor. I loved all the tacos. They were delicious. I'd definitely return. A lil family came in selling cheese pie and I thought that was so interesting! I've never had a cheese pie. And they were literally walking around with an authentic pie basket! Love."

Habanero's Mexican Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (232) • $$

"I came to Habaneros for lunch a few months back and had a nice steak salad. We arrived a little early so it was pretty empty but it soon filled upThe place had a cute Mexican street theme with a decorative balcony over the seating area. They are going thru construction right now so that may change. They have a special lunch menu which is nice. The only thing I would have changed was the lettuce was a little wilty looking under my steak. Otherwise there was a lot of meat and avocado. I'm a fan!"

Poco Loco Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.6 (172) • $$

"Amazing! My parents owned the house across the street from this restaurant for 40 years and when they first opened my parents went to eat there...my mom said she wasn't impressed. Since then and based on her assessment, I've not bothered to try it. Last night my friend and I were nearby and with every other restaurant in the area having long wait times we decided to stop here. I can't believe I never gave this place a fair chance, the food was delicious and the service was excellent! I was eyeing some of the dishes coming out of the kitchen while we were waiting to order, both the salad and taco plates looked very appetizing, but I opted for the larger burrito(El Burro Grande)I never eat the side of rice and beans so figured this would be a better option for me than the tacos. Everything tasted so fresh and the burrito was slightly grilled, which I love. The burrito was stuffed with black beans guac, carne asada, rice...maybe sour cream and pico? Anyway it was great and easily enough for two people, I ended up taking half home for my husband, he also agreed it was very good. My friend ordered the carne asada enchiladas and she said they were a bit dry but she enjoyed them. All in all it was a great dining experience. The place itself is very small and only offers bar seating, which could be a turnoff for some people and I probably wouldn't come here with a large group."

Guimo's Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (126) • $

"Yay I found a great tasting Mexican food place in Wisconsin!! Very excited about this, thank you to the staff and especially to the cook. The food is absolutely delicious and it tastes like a home cooked meal. I ordered the Chilaquiles with egg (12.00) and the fried jalapeños (7.00). I loved the food, it tasted as it should...fresh, flavorful, and overall delicious. If you are looking for a Mexican restaurant that cooks from scratch abc doesn't charge an arm and a leg...this place is for you! I highly recommend this establishment."

Restaurante Casa Noble

★★★★★ 4.5 (107)

"There are so many Mexican places to eat in the Waukesha/Milwaukee area, thought we'd try something new. The location is in a residential area and the building itself is fairly small as fair as seating goes. They have a large patio area in front and on the side of the building, perfect for enjoying the warm weather.The staff was very friendly and served us complimentary chips and salsa shortly after arriving. The chips were good but the salsa wasn't my favorite. It just tasted more like tomato sauce than a salsa?Chile Rellenos is my go to (or enchiladas) so I thought I would give them a try here. The meal comes with two cheese stuffed peppers and the server asked if I wanted to add anything else to the inside. I've never been asked that but decided to add onion which was a nice addition. Thursday was half off margaritas so we went with that and they were pretty good!My BF got the enchiladas with meat inside and as you can see from the pic, they really load on the cheese! Almost too much cheese in his opinion. The beans and rice were good, no complaints.Overall our food was pretty good, but not the greatest tex-mex I've had. I wouldn't hesitate to go back if I was in the area but wouldn't make a point of going out of my way to eat there. They do have a dedicated vegetarian part of the menu so that's helpful for the V's!"

Azteca Restaurant Mke

★★★★☆ 4.1 (128) • $$

"The reviews are right! This place earns its high rating.A cute and moderately sized dining room in an old building amidst a charming area of south milwaukee awaits you when you visit Azteca. On our first visit, the Saturday evening crowd was vibrating and the live music was lively. We were seated immediately for our reservation. The menu is pretty extensive and in line with most other authentic Mexican restaurants. The three different salsas were good. We sampled the house margaritas and they were solid. The stars of the show were the food and the staff.The food was prepared exactly to requested variations. The steak enchilada with added fresh jalepenos with verde sauce on top was excellent, as was the chili rellenos with chorizo. Our friends got the suiza enchilada and they looked yummy.As noted, the staff was friendly, attentive, and genuine in their desire for the visit to be positive.Highly recommended. We'll be back."

Mexico Clasico

★★★★☆ 3.9 (137) • $$

"Could be the best Mexican restaurant in Rockford, at least among those accessible for Americans. It's easy to find a lot of real authentic places around here, but this is among the best for families and groups. Mexico Clasico has the favorites such as margaritas, burritos, and tacos. Good prices on most items. There's also a few vegetarian friendly items with their own menu section. At lunch it wasn't that busy. It may get busier later. This place isn't that authentic but it certainly beats Taco Bell and whatever. Maybe about as authentic as it can get for American preferences. This is kind of like the Tex-Mex in style. Has all the favorites you can think of. The drinks, the food, all that stuff. It's about $6 for the House Margarita. This is made with gold tequila and Grand Marnier, good stuff. A lot of good vegetarian items. It's $12 for the Burrito Vegetariano. Big one. This is a rolled spinach tortilla filled with grilled mushrooms and onions, served with black beans, guacamole, lettuce, sour cream which I left off, tomatoes, and rice. Good value for all you get. It's certainly okay for around here. There's plenty for meat eaters as well as vegetarians."

Lomeli's Rosticeria

★★★★☆ 3.6 (156) • $

"Have always had good experiences in the restaurant but today picked it up to go To go orders are packed carefully and just as good as in restaurant. The Chiles rellenos had a good, spicy sauce and plenty of cheese. Rice and beans are just ok. The chicken gordita was big and they even packed the lettuce and tomatoes separately to avoid them getting slimy from the heat. We also got a burrito of chorizo con huevo which was huge!"
