Good food, good service, very friendly staff! And O.M.G. One staff member spent the entire time we were there (ate outside) "sanitizing" every chair table umbrella stand, no one was seated at a table that had not been sanitized. read more

The translation of Antigua Real is "Real Old". Not sure if I would name my restaurant this. What are they insinuating? My wife and I were seated about 5:15pm on Thursday night. We were 2 of maybe a dozen patrons. Fractured offerings on the menu. My wife ordered cod tacos which only came fried. Her beans and rice were an extra charge and were black beans not refried beans. She asked for sour cream and declined when the server advised of the 95 cent upcharge. I ordered the chili relleno's, 1 shredded beef and 1 cheese. Crazy, my meal included the refried beans and rice. Of course, we were served chips and a bowl of sauce almost immediately after being seated. All in all the food was good as was the service. The bill with 1 soda was about $32.00 read more

Food was very good & staff was wonderful. Finally, a place with excellent ice tea!!! Hard to find that here in the Midwest.

This place serves up some good Mexican cuisine. Fresh ingredients and fresh taste, a few bucks higher than what you'd normally pay for a meal but you're getting what you pay for. Quality Mexican food, good atmosphere, nice new building. Some basic items on the menu and quite a few unique items. I had the Chimichanga and it was good, will try other things next time. Will go again! read more

Antigua Real - Dining Room - Latin American Near Me - Mukwonago, Wisconsin

My husband and I have eaten here several times and I have to say its hit or miss. We were craving Mexican food one night and decided to go here and I got a shrimp quesadilla with rice and my husband got a chicken burrito. The service was fast and the food was some of the best Mexican I had enjoyed in a long time. We were so impressed with the service and the food quality, we went back maybe not even a week later. And it was all down hill from there. I ordered the same quesadilla I had on the previous trip and my husband ordered a steak burrito this time around. The service took FOREVER. The food quality was nowhere near our previous experience and I was disappointed. This time around we waited for our bill for such a long time and there were no servers in sight. (We were seated in kind of a back corner area) that I actually got up and went to the hostess stand to get our check and one for the table that was seated near us because they were as frustrated as we were. I won't say don't give it a try, because they do have a lot of potential, just know it isn't always great. read more

Love this place so much! Everything that has shrimp is great (the nachos!), you can get flour chips instead of corn which is a favorite in our house, and they are delightful when ordering on the phone too! Love having this place less than 5 minutes from home! read more

Just ordered curbside pick up from Antiqua Real and it is amazing! Tacos, tamales, chimichangas, and churros were amazing. It was hard to drive home without snacking! If you can, stop for some curbside amazing food! read more

Stellar food. Beautiful restaurant. Lousy service. Probably a high school kid. We just drive 300 miles with a screaming kid. We were exhausted but the prospect of A free babysitter was irresistible. I had scope this place on yelp I drove through Chicago and it was everything I ever wanted. The waitress we had had never came to our table. After waiting 20 minutes space I had to get up to ask for more chips and salsa and water. This happened twice more. Every time we waited at least 10 minutes in the waitress never showed up once. Every time I went looking for her she was up at the bar talking to one of the guest drinking a beer. It really torqued me off. After the third time an older Lady came by and asked us if we needed anything. I felt bad saying no because I had already gotten what we wanted by that point.. I suspect it was the manager or the owner. She was very sweet. By then we didn't care we just wanted to leave. The girl dropped off the bill and never came back to take payment. There was no hostess so I ended up paying a bartender and writing a nasty note on the back. I really expected more but frankly I was so exhausted I didn't feel like complaining. I won't be coming back. read more

What a great place, I love the atmosphere, the service is always great and the food is always excellent. Also, they have the best breakfast in town. If you haven't been here, you need to come. And make sure to try the breakfast too! read more

This restaurant used to be great but when I went here recently and I have heard about some extremely Shady business practices within the owners family. Also the food has also taken a serious dive and all of it tastes microwaved. read more

I'm a huge fan of Antigua Real. I think it far outdistances all other Mexican/Latin restaurants in the metro Milwaukee area. The breakfasts are interesting and well prepared, they serve Alterra coffee and steam the cream for your coffee in the espresso machine. read more

We went to Antigua Real twice in the past two months. The food was good; however, the pitcher of margaritas had way too much ice in it. Plus, there wasn't much tequila in it, either. I spoke to the waitress and asked her to be sure there wasn't an overabundance of ice, and she said that was a firm policy and that she couldn't do anything about it. For $24.00 we had very weak margaritas and tons of ice. I would recommend the food, but don't order any alcohol. read more

Been going here since they opened and have never reviewed! Truly the BEST breakfast I've ever had and possibly one of my favorite Latin American restaurants! It is not your standard burrito/ taco place, expect MUCH better, different and most importantly flavorful! This place is a must visit even if passing through Mukwonago! Excellent in every way! read more

We have been to Antiqua Real three times including breakfast and have not been disappointed. It is a free-standing building next to a strip mall but it seems worlds away once you are seated and enjoying the south-of-the-border ambience. The servers seem quite young but are exceptionally polite and have been generally knowledgeable about the offerings. The latin dishes are surprising authentic and homemade tasting with exotic ingredients like Cactus. Prices reasonable, food complex and tasty. We will be back! read more

While I would describe this food Latin American with an American influence, I must emphasize that Antigua Real is nothing like the Mexican-American over-salted crap that resembles $10.99 Taco Bell that you may find at other restaurants. The ingredients are fresh and the menu promises items both standard and unique. Each time I have been here I have enjoyed the interior. The service is inconsistent but better in the summer when they staff college students. Definitely worth the drive. read more

A good lunch, quick service, and tasty food. We will be back! We had the lunch sized portions which were plenty. Enchiladas were full of meat. Burrito was stuffed and had good sides. I was pleasantly surprised to find this place. read more

It was okay food and service. Don't expect a strong margarita from here. The portion size seemed on the small size. I don't know if I would come back. read more

The manager called the police on us! 4 of us walked into the restaurant at about 5:45. There was a group of 4 people directly in front of us and 2 people behind us, who were seated at the same time. Over an hour later, all those people had ordered, eaten, paid their check and had left. About 5 minutes after they had left, the server came out with our APPETIZER and said "Finally". We said we didn't want it. The server then said our dinners were ready to come out as well. My husband said unless they were going to give us a discount, we didn't those either. The server said "they don't give discounts". We asked to speak to the manager, but were told she was working in the bar so it "might be awhile" before we could talk to her. We said we'd go to her. We immediately went to the bar. We said we would pay for the beverages, but NOT the food. The manager said that, because our food was ready, we had to pay (full price) for that too. We explained that we never SAW our dinners and were not going to pay for them. Her reply was "then I will call the police". We told her to go ahead and do so. Of course, when the police (who by-the-way was extremely nice) arrived, he explained to the manager that we only had to pay for what we consumed.... the drinks. So, the manager gave him our beverage bill and told him to tell us we are banned from ever coming to the restaurant again. Interestingly enough.... "restaurants under the 1964 civil rights acts, explicitly prohibits restaurants from refusing service" in other words "....restaurants do not have a constitutional right to refuse service". However, somehow I don't think we'll loose sleep over that. The restaurant lost SEVERAL other customers (at least 4 groups that I counted) when I explained that the reason why they weren't being seated was due to the fact that the manger we busy calling the police on us because we refused to pay for a meal we never saw. read more

Our highest marks for the variety, uniqueness, and consistent quality of the food. One of our favorite 'Mexican' places in the greater Milwaukee area, and a monthly stop. Latin influences provide fun and delicious spins on expected offerings. Great ambience and attention to detail such as the warm frothed cream served with one of the best cups of coffee anywhere. Can't decide, try the burrito rancheros. read more

Never a disappointment! Not your typical "Mexican restaurant" this place cooks up some fresh flavorful food at decent prices, although if you're looking for giant portions this isn't the place - think quality over qty. Service tends to be slow (waitresses not kitchen) consistently over past few years but food makes it worth the wait (typically for your drink during meal or the check) read more

It was our first time coming to this restaurant. Our friend come here frequently so we thought we would give it a try. When we first walked in there was no one to be seen. We waited for about 5 minutes before I went into the bar area to find a server so we could be seated. Ok, not off to a very good start but still willing to give the place the benefit of the doubt. Our server had long blond hair pulled back into a pony tail. I wish now, I would have gotten her name! At first, everything was good. She took our order, brought out the food, everything was correctly made and delicious. Then, we got the check. Our total food bill came to $36.63. No big deal, that's about right. Then I see a predetermined tip on the bill. She charged up 20% tip. When I asked to speak to someone to get the check adjusted our server came out. I asked her why the tip had been charged to our bill. I asked her if she could adjust it down to 15%. She immediately turned the situation into a scene. She began to tell me that I was required to pay between 15 and 18%, that this was a rule. I asked her again to adjust it down to 15%. She said ' Really, thats pretty insulting'. I simply told her that I wasn't trying to insult her or the establishment. I told her I was comfortable paying 15% and that is what I chose to pay. She continued to argue. I finially got fed up with her and told her to adjust it and I walked away. I went back to my table to wait for the bill. When she brought it out, she was very rude when handing us the bill. She announced that what I wanted her to adjust it to wasn't even 12%. When I looked at what she had done, it was wrong. She didn't adjust it to what I had asked. She simply heard what she wanted and put it to just under 12%. So, I hand wrote in a 15% tip and retotaled the bill. Circled it multiple times and left the restaurant. Never in my life, have I had a server tell me it is a rule I HAVE to pay a certain percent for a tip. A tip is what the customer chooses to pay! It's a real shame this happened and our server was such a B**ch. WON'T BE BACK!!!!!!!! read more

Ate lunch here with my wife. Excellent service and good food. Would definitely go back.

My Favorite dining spot in Mukwonago! Great food! Friendly! Accommodating, nice ambiance, outdoor seating!

I agree with Tonya, this place is great! I was so impressed with my dinner, with the service, and with all of the tasty margarita options. I honestly can't remember what I ordered, but do know it was not the standard boring veggie option. And, my leftovers didn't even make it to the next day. I'll be going back for sure. read more

Finally a local Mexican restaurant with spice in their recipes. Warm chips, great shredded beef and green sauce.

Table for 8 with 4 grade school children. Waitress very patient with friendly service. Excellent mole sauce. Authentic Mexican with the wonderful addition of great tasting Central America and island food read more

Not sure how this establishment has 4 stars. Besides the salsa which was decent at best, the food was completly tasteless. My husband had the burrito which was small, drowned in sauce (and we like sauce) that had no flavor. I had the shrimp soup, which also lacked any taste. The shrimp were similar to the tiney shrimp that come in a can. One compliment I will give them is that it is nicely decorated... read more

Best food I've had in a long time! We came from Illinois and so glad we stopped here for lunch. We are Latino's and didn't expect good food but it was authentic and so flavorful! read more

We stopped in on 10/21/17 for a dinner date night with friends of ours. This restaurant had come recommended. The hostess seated us promptly and we were greeted by a friendly server fairly promptly. This is unfortunately where the positive comments stop. A round of drinks were ordered, one in our party still wasn't sure and we advised a minute or two would be needed. The server just stood there waiting. We ordered 3 Caipirinhas and a Margarita. The Caipirinhas were made incorrectly, no muddling, very little sugar and made with Tequila! Our server was no where to be found and took us quite some time to locate her (7-10 minutes). Upon telling her, she said, I knew those didn't look right (not sure why she didn't verify with us when they were delivered). We asked for another round of drinks and some more water and she was off. Approximately another 10 minutes went by and the food was delivered, with no water or drinks. Several more minutes went by and the drinks were delivered. The ladies had opted for other drinks this time, but I had my heart set on a Caipirinha. The remake was at least done with rum this time, but not made properly again. Since I was nearly done with my meal and the bar was taking so long I opted to ask for a water (which hadn't come yet) and be done with it. Our server was pleasant, did apologize, but not very attentive. The food was served piping hot, great taste and excellent portion. I'd like to give this at least a 3, however the service and experience left a very poor taste in my mouth. read more

Food was delicious and the service was excellent! We went for lunch and it was so difficult to choose from all of the yummy menu options. They offered a full menu including breakfast, which was served until 3:00. I'm so happy we discovered this gem...I will definitely be back! read more

Held our daughter's bridal shower there. We had about 40 people and did appetizers buffet style along with chips/salsa on the tables. It turned out fantastic. We also did margaritas, beer and sangria. Their sangria (red) is my favorite. Everyone loved it and Anna did a great job helping. Highly recommend especially for any kind of party. Their side room can probably hold more people but I would recommend under 50 is a good number read more

The daughter has a real poor attitude problem and acts as if their restaurant is doing us all a favor. After we expressed our dissatisfaction the daughter did nothing to correct matters, in fact she argued with us. When we said we would never return she sarcastically told us ( tone and all) to have a nice day. She showed no concern what so ever to why we were upset and obviously didn't care. The costumer does not come first in this establishment, the business comes first. Small portions/Big price tag.....oh and don't even think your getting a good deal on a call margarita. For the big price you just shelled out vrs the tiny splash of booze they add will certainly make you feel like you've been robbed. If you feel this review is exaggerated, just ask the locals what they think. They will say the same thing. I've never been back since and anyone who inquires I reveal information they deserve. read more

Great horchata, best authentic Mexican food I've had, and a very friendly and efficient waiter. Will come again.

I rate this restaurant 2 stars because it is way overpriced for Mexican food and it is only mediocre. My favorite part about going out for Mexican is my margaritas and chips and salsa, but their salsa is not that great. It is thin and liquid-ey. No fresh chunks of tomatoes or onions, and not even a great flavor to make up for the thinness. Servers are just average. If I am going to pay decent money for a nice meal out, I expect to be wowed by the service and food. I have been there 3 times now to give it a fair chance and I do not plan to go back, not worth it in my opinion. read more

My all-time favorite! We LOVE the food and the variety of dishes! Awesome!

Food was OK, but NOT the best Mexican I have had. I guess I am spoiled with great Mexican food back home. Servers are not Mexican, so this place is not as Authentic, like I thought it was. read more

I hesitate to submit negative reviews because honestly a lot of times it comes down to a couple employees having a bad day or some other issue that tends to be a one off issue. However, serving processed Guacamole when requesting a Guac Cart at a Mexican restaurant should be punishable by death. No place that claims to call itself a Mexican restaurant, especially not a "real" one should ever serve premade food. We've eaten at probably 10-15 different Mexican restaurants and with the exception of Taco Bell or Taco Johns I have never felt like the food wasn't fresh. Fresh food hand made is almost synonymous with Mexican food to me. I'm also not factoring in language barrier issues, because all I really care about is the food. Salsa - Flavorless (add cilantro) Main dishes - Meh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O1hM-k3aUY read more

Recently moved to Mukwonago and my wife really loves Mexican food. For the most part we were satisfied with the entree but the table service and drinks seems to be lacking. We would he happy to go back but we would not plan on ordering drinks from the bar and would ask to be seated in a different section. read more

Absolutely Authentic Mexican. My Chimichanga was excellent. Great service, very friendly.

super disappointed. They atmosphere is very pretty. We thought when we sat down and looked at the menu we were in for a treat...well we were wrong. Overpriced drinks, very bland food. read more
