    Birria Birra taco dinner
    Isabel B.

    I'm quite picky about Mexican food but Al Pastor is easily my new favorite in Milwaukee. The raspberry marg was great - not too sweet. Chips and salsa (especially the green) were enjoyed. And then the birria dinner - wow. Service was quick, friendly, and even put the game on for us at the bar! I can't wait to come back in the summer and enjoy the patio!

    Great first visit to Al Pastor Mexican Restaurant in West Allis! One person was running both the dining room and the bar, and she absolutely crushed it--quick, friendly service. The complimentary chips came out warm with a trio of salsas, which were so good I ended up buying a container of the verde to take home. For our meal, we each had a trio of tacos with rice and beans. I tried the carnitas, the al pastor, and the campechanos--all with onions and cilantro. The al pastor was my favorite--perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. There was plenty of seating indoors, and everything was spotless. There's patio seating available, but it wasn't open due to limited staffing. No big deal--we're already planning to come back and try more of the menu!

    Outstanding. Honestly, that's the word. Like many I suppose, we're guilty of not venturing out from our tried and true favs very often. Because of that blind loyalty, it took us a little longer to get here than it should have. We finally made in today and holy man- it was...what's the word? Outstanding. The place was spotless. The service was impeccable and gracious. The food was killer. Since it was our first time in- we both went with the Pick 3 so we could try different things. Our meals included: chicken enchiladas, a chicken chimichanga, steak tacos, chorizo tacos, rice, beans and of course we started with chips, guacamole and margaritas. I'm not even sure if we can rank the food one over another as it was all sooo good. If I described each dish, I'd be writing for pages. All I can tell you is that Al Pastor is a must. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

    We came here for lunch w a group of 7. Very close to the VA Hospital. Ordered tacos enchilada and a burrito. Everyone was very pleased and it was very affordable.

    We came to pick up some dinner around 4pm. We saw a parking lot in the back, then walked in through the door in the back. I don't think they're used to customers walking in through the back, and everyone looked startled. As were we. lol. We apologized, but were quickly put at ease and told it's totally fine, and that's what doors are for! Everyone was super friendly, so it was a great beginning for the experience. We would normally call ahead to place our order when picking up, but we just swung in this time since we were in the neighborhood. We were craving some good Mexican food and fellow yelpers have given this place a raving review. There was no other customers in the restaurant yet, though a big family walked in while we were waiting for the food. The joint was clean, well organized, and sectioned off so there is plenty of space between tables. I wanted their beef milaneza dinner, but they're not making those anymore - only chicken. Steak Fajitas - hubby ordered this. I would never order fajitas to go. It comes with the whole sizzling experience when eating at the restaurant. I think it would have been great at the restaurant, but by the time we got home, we felt the meat was overdone, and just not the same. Entree Sampler: - Taco with Pastor. There's a reason this place is called "Al Pastor" guys! Get the pastor meat! Absolutely fantastic! - flauta with capechanos. This was my least favorite. It's like a rolled up taco that's deep fried. I think the flavors kicking from the taco and the mole from the enchilada really masked the capechanos. not wowed. - enchilada with mole. Their mole sauce is really, really good. They put this one in a separate container for me, and drenched it with mole sauce. Thank you! Horchata - just what you need on a hot summer day! But it was very cold inside the restaurant (I was standing right under the AC, and wearing thin clothes since it was 80F outside. Probably not that cold in reality). The server asked me whether I wanted ice in the horchata before serving, and I was thankful for that. All the smells of an authentic Mexican feast were teasing us throughout our 15 minute drive home. Pleasant ordering/pick-up experience added stars to the meal.

I haven't been here in years and forgot how great this place is for bar food. This is one of my favorite fish fries in the city because it's hand breaded with a flavorful coating with flaky hot fish. The coleslaw is perfect because it's very fine with a celery seed. The rye bread is fresh and not dried out. My best advice is to get the breaded mushrooms. They are some of the best I've ever eaten because again they are hand breaded. On Fridays you must get free fresh cake again homemade not bought. We tried three of the desserts and they didn't disappoint. Drinks are a strong pour and if you're lucky the owners wife will serve you because she's awesome.

They do a solid fish fry every Friday too--definitely worth stopping in for if you're local. If you're looking for a laid-back, friendly place with good food and great conversation, this is a great neighborhood find.

We started with the really big pretzel and birria nachos. Both appetizers were HUGE! Everyone loved the pretzel. It was soft with a perfectly crisp outside and did not have a dry inside like a lot of the soft pretzels I order out. The cheese dip was excellent too. The nachos were fantastic--loved the pickled onions. They were a unique and tasty addition. After the large appetizers, we realized we didn't have room for full entrees. Everyone ordered some wings. I really wanted to try the hot sauce but was scared to commit. Our server was super friendly and brought me some out to test with bread. Loved the flavor, but it was indeed too hot for me. I went with the garlic parm sauce (so good). My son got a side of the Mac and cheese which I thought was delicious. Cavatappi noodles, breadcrumbs, oh my!

My friend got there before I did and was able to hold a seat for me and ordered a a double vodka lemonade right away. Our bartender Raphael was super laid back and overall a good egg. They hold your cards to if you're running a tab which is nothing out of the norm when it comes to a bar, but because I didn't have cash on me at the time I had to ask for my card back because I was informed that I would need it to place an order at the kitchen for food. This was a first for me to go a kitchen window to do an order but it was not a big deal for us. Now if you do pay with your card, there's like a $2 or $3 fee so just a heads up. I went with the 2 piece fried cod with french fries and my friend did the same but with the potato pancakes. We didn't wait long before we received our order and I was ready to dig in. The fries were nicely reasoned and received a nice amount with the order. The fish was flaky, crispy and with a squeeze of lemon and dash of salt it was pretty good. I did see there other specials they had for other food items and would love to try in the future. But overall not a bad place and wished I would've stopped here sooner.
