Tony AMay 3, 2013Always a favorite spot to eat when I'm in town. I would like one of everything on the menu please! The margaritas are the bomb! Very delicious! Try the watermelon one!
John KDecember 12, 2016Puerco en salsa verde was great! Pico de gallo was really good! Big portions of everything. Glad I stopped in and will be back on next trip to Milwaukee!
Paula BrownJuly 7, 2013My favorite Mexican Restaurant! Excellent food. Excellent service. Strawberry margaritas are delicious & love dining outside on a nice & sunny day! :D
Wendy ReganJanuary 9, 2018Quality plus quantity plus great atmosphere, but on top of all that, great staff
Brian ArtkaJuly 30, 2012Of the handful of great mexican cuisine around the area, this is by far my favorite. I always seem to get the "poor tacos" marinated pork, cilantro, onion on flour tortilla.
Daniel HuggerSeptember 17, 2013Great Mexican food off the beaten path! If you are in Milwaukee you should definitely stop! Awesome service as well!
HY ConnectJuly 11, 2012Great lunch specials. Favorite are the enchiladas. Be sure to get the chicken enchilada soup before the main course. And the margaritas are stellar.
VISIT MilwaukeeFebruary 9, 2011Best moles in Milwaukee and a variety of Mexican dishes: tequila shrimp, steak machado, and fish tacos. Don't forget about the best margaritas in town either! Read more- John KDecember 13, 2016Had the pastrami hash for a change and I really enjoyed it with two over medium eggs!
El REY FOODS (EVillarreal) MilwaukeeDecember 6, 2011Great Owner who does what it takes to make your experience as great as can be. I have eaten there several times and my favorites is the Moles.- TJ KOctober 25, 2014The huge chimmichangas are amazing. The mole poblano is among the best I've ever tasted.
The owner is amazing always there to greet cha and chat! Ask for Jaime and make sure you say "Hi". Oh...and tell him you want sweet corn tamales on the menu. Read more
Tacos Al Pastor here are literally the best I've had at any other restaurant. Traveled all over and can't find better!!
Renee GirardJune 9, 2013Great outdoor seating and super fast service. Try the watermelon margarita, is tastes just like a jolly rancher!
Angel is the BEST waiter there - but all the staff is good anyway - Tacos Barbacoa are my FAVORITE!!! (lighter on the onions would be nice)
CathyMay 9, 2013Ask for Olivia to be your server; she's wonderful and knows what you want even before you know what you want ;D
Devan LippertAugust 15, 2013Really good salsa, chips and guacamole. The main meal though didn't live up to the appetizers.
Say hi to Jaime and tell him victor ray sent you, you might get a free shot. Victor ray for alderman
Get the The vegetarian quesadilla for an appetizer! It's so good!
Beware guacamole with your chips. $7?!? Also, now it's $1 for sour cream with a meal it used to come with.
MAMIBUTTA42O JONESFebruary 6, 2011U have to get u at least a half pitcher of rainbow margarita!!! My favorite!!!
Stephanie SuraApril 20, 2010Very vegan friendly mexican food they are great about "special requests" & the patio is HUGE!
D'Arcy EvansSeptember 22, 2013Great food, but don't come here if you need separate checks. Waiter refused.
