Conejitos Place

I have several friends who rave about this place so we decided to go for brunch.We had the bean dip appetizer and then almost everyone ordered the huevos rancheros which is a brunch special (and the only menu item not served on a paper plate). The menu is small but with just enough options for everyone. The food was so delicious, was served quickly and was at an inexpensive price point. Good portion sizes too. The margaritas are also great but do have quite a secret kick- they taste like juice but are strong. Our server was very friendly and was able to get me good information for my food allergy. I don't think I would have visited without the recommendations from my friends but I'm glad they encouraged me otherwise. There's a reason this place has been around as long as it has!The only downside was that the tables have backless stools that are bolted to the floor so you can't move them around at all. Get there early- it definitely gets busy. I'll be back for brunch againSorry no pictures this time- I was way too hungry and forgot to let my phone eat first.

Overall: 2.3Service: 4Food: 1Value: 2Entree: combo tacos Based on two local recommendations, we had high hopes for this place and expected quality Mexican food. It seems popular due to its affordability, but I wouldn't eat here again even if you paid me. The meat lacks flavor and seasoning. The cheese on the enchiladas is akin to Velveeta, possibly even the real thing. The margaritas are potent but served in small glasses. While it's quick and inexpensive, the food isn't good.

Had dinner from this place last night and only ate half of it cause I was hungry but, I ended up with indigestion and subsequently diarrhea. It's definitely a one and done for me. I should call the health department on them.

I have been going to Conejitos since I was a small child. Every time I go I hope for better service, but it continues to go downhill. They have closed most of the restaurant squeezing everyone into the original bar area which doesn't provide much room and in winter it is cold with the door constantly opening! The food came very quickly and the server checked on us constantly, but it was to the point of definitely feeling rushed and pushed out the door. The prices are still good with the exception of nearly $5 for the tiny margaritas they hand out. They also do not offer "free" water. If you want water you need to pay for a bottle which I find absolutely ridiculous. As for the food, it is delicious as always. I wish the environment would improve because it was keep me from going back. the beans with cheese are so yummy. My mouth waters just thinking about it! The tacos were good, with moist meat and a healthy amount of toppings. The tostadas are my favorite and I always order them! Do not miss out by passing these up!

Met for a family birthday to reminisce about the olden days when coming here. It is a quaint little place nothing special but gets the job done. Our waitress was supper helpful. I can only speak for the bean tostada and the strawberry margaritas. Which were both superb. Everyone else at the table seemed to enjoy their food. We don't crave Mexican very often so will probably be awhile before we come back. But I would definitely give it a try if in the area. And don't be surprised, they serve on paper plates.

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.

Have been going there for over 30 years! We love the tostadas, lunch plate, and Margaritas.

Little local Mexican restaurant with a small menu but everything on it is delicious! My favorite is the bean tostadas. They always come out crispy. Their food is served on paper plates and everything is pretty cheap. Nothing on the menu is over $11, can't complain about the prices! They do charge for water bottles but it's cheap.

The only thing I knew about this place prior to finally giving it a try is that they are known for serving their food on paper plates. I was not particularly interested in going but was convinced by a friend. That time ,I was truly blown away. I had chicken enchiladas with mole and it was probably top three best mole I ever had. Also, the strawberry margarita was and still is one of the best that I have had. And you cannot beat the price! I was also pleasantly surprised about the bean dip that my friend had raved about. Service was great, the food came out fast. It was delicious. If I had written a review after my first experience there, it probably would have been four stars.However, I went back for a second visit the other day and it was disappointing. In spite of sitting at the bar, where service is usually better and more attentive, the bartender made us wait a while just to be able to place our order and then it seemed that he forgot to place the order because we noticed that three tables that arrived after us got their food before us and then we saw him scrambling to put the order in. I enjoyed my meal last time I was there so much that I placed the same order this time. Last time, they put the mole sauce in and on the enchiladas and this time I was told that's not something that they do. These enchiladas were one part chicken, two parts cheese, and three parts onions. Basically an onion enchilada. It was practically inedible. If I based my review only on this experience I would give it a 2. Since there was such a stark contrast between the two visits I decided to go with the average of the two and give it a 3. It's a Milwaukee staple. If you haven't tried it, go. But don't expect something mind-blowing.

We didn't have a good experience yesterday. There was an 18% service fee added to our bill for a party of 2. We were then taxed on the entire amount. When my husband asked the server for an explanation, he was told that their system is set up that way. She gave my husband a phone number to call, (I believe it was the manager ). He was very rude and didn't offer an explanation. We will not be going back.
