We went here when we realized we were a little underdressed for a neighboring restaurant, and I am thrilled that we did! The service is great, the atmosphere is casual but still nice, the decor is awesome, and the food is absolutely wonderful. Our server took time to go over his favorite things on the menu, despite having a few other tables, and everyone was very friendly. I got the "wet burrito" and I have no regrets. The food was so good that we went back a couple days later for brunch. Tostada all the way. We plan on making this a regular stop whenever we go up to Milwaukee. read more

Got charged for a wet burrito for lunch... and it certainly was not wet (nor did I order it that way). Hmm, gimme my $2 back. Otherwise, I had an asada burrito and really liked it. My friend liked her taco truck platter (chicken tacos). Server was attentive. Place was very empty at lunch (as we ate inside). The guy who seated us was pretty smarmy and kind of mocked us because we were indecisive about eating inside vs. outside. Oh, hipsters. read more

Cafe Corazon is very nice on the inside, however, as they say "You can't polish a t... " Enchilada Suiszas had a vinegary/TV dinner taste; guacamole appetizer was salty; my companion's chicken tacos were watery; service was bad. The least they could do is teach staff how to pronounce dishes "Who had the onchulados?"; "Here is your Tuhcato beer" Needless to say, I will never go there again! read more

This was our second visit to this location. The first one was big group and had a great time. This time was just 2 of us. We sat at the bar and had a great time. The bartender, Mike was awesome. He was personable, gave great recommendations on different tequilas and his service was on point! Definitely will return! read more

I recommend this place to anyone in or visiting Milwaukee looking for an authentic great meal. Today i had the wet burrito with chorizo and a bloody mary. I think i moaned in joy theough the entire meal. This place never lets me down. It's quirky and in a quirky neighborhood but it all just works here. Just go there! read more

We were here for a weeknight dinner in July. I had the Seafood trio burrito (so delicious) and a house margarita. The burrito was huge and I ended up bringing half home and it reheated beautifully the next day. It's minor but I really wish they had the standard chips and salsa at the beginning of the meal. read more

Best food had the shrimp tacos melts in your mouth and the ceviche is really nice to have on a hot day outside in their patio

Love this place for brunch. The empanadas (the chorizo empanadas especially) and chilaquiles are all-star options. Honorable mention to the breakfast tacos and breakfast enchiladas. Service is also top notch - coffee was topped off promptly and repeatedly and the food comes pretty quick. For real though, don't miss the chorizo options. So good. read more

Taco Tuesday is a solid deal. Typically very fast, efficient service. Free chips and salsa at the Bay View location are a big plus. One of the better tacos in the Milwaukee area that I have had. read more

Had one of the best dining experiences at Corazon with the server Elijah. Kept coming around with drink refills and checked in with our table several times. He even split the checks for our party and split the appetizer for across all the checks. The food as always was delicious, though wish there was more than 2 jalapeno slices on the jalapeno tacos. read more

I love the whole vibe at Café Corazon. The food, of course, is fantastic-delicious, beautifully presented, prepared quickly, responsive to dietary accommodations. The space is beautiful-nearly always able to find a table, great ambience and decor. The staff are friendly and responsive-and artistic! I've bought gorgeous mugs designed by our great server (and amazing potter!) Beth Eaton, and have asked about the beautiful aprons that many of them wear, which I learned were also created by a local artist. Corazon is a great example of Bay View as Milwaukee's best culinary scene!my only complaint is that they should have their delicious plantains/ plátanos every day and not just on the weekend brunches. :-) read more

Awesome food! Very accommodating with my gluten & egg allergies. John is most amazing server too! He went above & beyond

The guys in the kitchen know what they're doing. Really impressive experience, from the asada tacos to the horchata, to the rice and black beans, even to the chips and salsa, everything has those extra dimensions of flavor that leave you tingling and going mmm. I have had Mexican on dozens of occasions, but at Corazon I felt like I was discovering the cuisine for the first time. The decor pulled everything together nicely, and the Dum Dums with the check were a sweet finishing touch. read more

I'm so tired of Mexican but decided to try this place out one night and it was pretty good. Different than most Mexican restaurants in a good way. Good drinks and food and so was the service. read more

Cafe Corazon - Mexican Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Had Lunch at Corazón after reading a yelp review and was not disappointed! Great service! The food was served fast, presented well and tasted fabulous! Environment was clean and comfortable. This place is a must when you are in the Milwaukee area! read more

Second time visiting this place for lunch today, and I think we were the first customer that walked in at 11:00 am. The food was delicious we order the ceviche appetizer, seafood stew, and my friend ordered huevos con chorizo. The seafood stew I didn't care too much for cuz there wasn't much of seafood in it! So I called the waiter and told him to take it off because I didn't like it! While I was still talking to him he completely ignored me and walked away while I was talking to him! Then later he came back to argue that there's was enough seafood in it! Then he never came back to see if we need anything else! So when he did come back I ask him for the check he came back with a check for $33.. obviously he never too off the stew! Well I figure not tips for this guy! As we were walking out by the bar the two guys were just playing around and that's the reason that nobody came back to check on my table! Terrible service! That's not a good way to do business!!! read more

Fantastic! Best Mexican food in Milwaukee. So glad I stopped by. Lots of vegan options. I had the vegan taco plate and absolutely loved it. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great clean environment. Food was great, staff was really nice, and did I mention the food was great! This place is Bayview's version of Belair Cantina. read more

Jax was an awesome waitress! Super friendly and helpful! Food was great and service was great! Will go again!

Yummy food. Very casual. Great service. Margarita.. Couldn't taste the tequila..stick to beer. Will definitely frequent this place.

This is my favorite sit down Mexican restaurant in the area. The wait staff are always excellent. Corazón is a great casual place to have a great meal and relax. The food is always excellent! read more

After living here for a few years we've finally found a great Mexican place! It's really close to our house so that's also a bonus. We've been here a few times and always seem to pick the same item from the menu. My husband and I are both huge fans of their wet burrito. We've tried it with different meat options each time and it's always been great. The service is always quick also and they always seem to be super busy in there! It's a smaller place so it's a little crowded/on the louder side but it's no big deal really because the food is worth it! read more

First time at this place and I was impressed. Very good service and food. The prices are also very reasonable. I particularly like the fact that the music is not too loud! read more

Got here 15 minutes early and were waiting for our friends to arrive. Was told by a female hostess it was a 25-30 minute wait and given a buzzer. Made our way to the bar, ordered a drink. Surprisingly only after 5 minutes our table buzzer went off, then a male host asked us if the rest of our party was here and we said not yet and we'd only been waiting for five minutes when we were told it was a 25-30 minute wait. He copped an attitude with us and snatched the buzzer away. He told us he was giving away our table and that he was restarting our buzzer. Pretty much felt like we got punished for getting here early. The male host was an absolute jerk. Not planning on coming back here anytime soon! read more

Every visit to Cafe Corazon has been a pleasant one for me. Food is "fresh" and delicious and the service is excellent. It has a pleasing atmosphere and is one of the cleanest restaurants around. Compliments to to the manager and staff for making each and every dining experience, an enjoyable one. 5 stars read more

I got the the wet burrito with chorizo. It was beyond my expectations. The sauce is a must. My girlfriend got the papas chorizo bowl, and she ended up going for some of my burrito. The service was also excellent. For being busy they were very quick, courteous, and happy. Normally I would see most servers stressing in this situation. I would definitely come back again. read more

We were so happy to welcome Cafe Corazon into the neighborhood! Plates are still as vibrant as the original and give plenty of vegan options. Expect to be seated quickly but wait a bit for service. read more

Went there for the first time last Saturday. The menu seemed small at first but had all the necessary items you'd expect to find at a Mexican restaurant. Order the best burrito and it was awesome, easily one of the best burritos I've had in a long time. The bottle of hot sauce you get on the side is super hot but has great flavor. It's also very reasonably priced which is surprising considering it's right in the middle of KK. Staff was very friendly as well. Definitely a must stop if you're looking for Mexican food in Bayview. read more

We were staying at the Kinn Guesthouse, the owner suggested we come here to eat. What a fabulous selection. True Mexican food with a friendly staff. Dillon was our waiter, he was awesome. Made some great suggestions for food and they were the special of the day too, so an extra bonus for that. I had the jicama shrimp tacos, and hubby had a taco special. Both were really great. Margaritas made in house too. A whole page of just tequila. Fun atmosphere as well. read more

Oh man. I really wanted to like this place. I live in Bay View. I have gone to the Riverwest location and enjoyed it. So much potential here. I have followed the story about the owner renovating this space and again, wanted so bad to have this be one of my favs on my short list of BV dining spots. The space itself is very nice. I wasn't exactly sure we were at the right spot since there was no signage out front. No big deal. We got there around 9pm for dinner and it was pretty busy. I got a bad feeling off the bat because we waited a little too long to be seated. Again, no big deal. I was happy to catch up with my friend but was a little leery of this being a bad omen for customer service for the rest of the evening. We were seated at a two person table in the middle of the dining area. This place could be the single worst dining acoustic experience. It was so unbelievable loud - not just your typical noisy bar situation. It felt physically painful to sit in the midst of that. I saw my friends mouth moving from across our two top but I never heard a word she said. I saw an open table closer to the kitchen and asked if we could move there. They did accommodate us. It really was brutally loud. I asked my friend if it was just that the groups near us that were so loud or the acoustics were that bad. We both agreed it was just horrible acoustics. I ordered a sangria - which I wasn't crazy about - too sweet. Tasted to me like there was added sugar rather than just fruit. Lucky for me a waitstaff came by with my side salad and spilled the entire glass of sangria on my lap. On the plus side, it did give me a chance to change up my drink order. I am fairly sure I was more mortified for the waitstaff than they were about spilling an entire glass of sangria in my lap. I tried to crack a joke and laugh about an entire glass of red wine based beverage in my crotch and dripping down my leg. I didn't get the sense that anyone was half as mortified as one might think. Just to be clear - although I was good natured about it and did not demand dry cleaning fees, my meal comped - the spill was 100% on them. My hands were nowhere near that glass. It was just a mistake but it was their mistake to rectify and they pretty much failed to make it right. My waiter did make a point of telling me I didn't have to pay for that glass of sangria (Isn't that a given unless I was going to wring out my pants into a drinking glass.) I asked for the drink to be replaced by a glass of wine instead. I was a little surprised at how long it took to get the wine brought out. I would think this would have been a good time to step up the customer service and do some service recovery. I did get the glass of wine comped but at this point at least one glass of free wine was necessary to forget that I was sitting in sticky sangria soaked underwear. The food was fine. We had vegetarian tostadas. Oddly, the menu was confusing. The price was marked $13. There was an option to add meat and that price listed was $10. So was it an added $10 for meat? that didn't seem plausible. Was a meat tostada $3 cheaper than a veggie one. Our waiter explained it as a typo. I wasn't impressed. I'm not a grammar czar but it would seem that 2 weeks after opening your menu should be clear and free of price discrepancy. We also ordered shrimp tacos which were enjoyable. We did ask about chips and salsa when we arrived. Our waiter told us that chips and salsa were $3. We didn't order them. It was a good excuse to not load up on snacks before our entrees arrived. However, shortly after, a waiter that was not ours stopped at the table with chips and salsa. I don't remember if this was before or after my crotch was doused with sangria. If it was after I think I chalked it up to them trying to keep us happy. By the time our bill came, I realized we had been charged for the chips we never actually ordered. I had other things to worry about - like wondering how I was going to walk out of the restaurant looking like I wet myself during the evening. I will probably give this place another chance. They are only two weeks in. I'm not sure how I will get past the noise issue. I can tolerate a loud bar scenario but I just don't want to have to scream to have a conversation when I am at dinner. Everything else can get ironed out once the business gets rolling. read more

Went to Cafe Corazon on KK for the first time last Tuesday. Guacamole was excellent. I had the pulled beef tacos and they too were excellent. Meat was very tender. If you like spicy, and I do, you will love the green sauce. Very flavorful. I will definitely be back. Our waitress Zoe was very attentive to us and very friendly. read more

Best brunch in Bayview! The food is always consistent and flavorful along with the exceptional service from the staff. Zoey is one of the best that works there. Enjoy my fellow foodies! read more

Holy Moly, Corazon's has good guacamole. We have been to the KK location, with guests, several times. The best part of taking a guest to a restaurant you enjoy is for the guest to exclaim, "this place is great". We find just about every menu item is be nicely up to par. Last Tues. our primary server was Laura, tho Corazon's was humming, Laura kept up to speed on her assignments. Other staff jumped in to assist when orders for several tables came out of the kitchen all at once. Good food, good service, good pricing; try it, I expect you too will exclaim, "this place is great". Richard M. read more

This place genuinely made me happy!! I'm so impressed with our server Joe! He was so attentive and upbeat! The food was great! The chips kept getting refilled without asking, YES! read more

Came in last night with a large group. Elijah provided exceptional service and it made our experience all that much better (besides the tasty food and drinks). Can't wait to come back and try something new! read more

This is our new go-to spot for Mexican. House margaritas and G&Ts were excellent. Food was fantastic: taco truck soft tacos (carnitas and beef), fajitas (chicken), enchiladas (carnitas), and guacemole were all delicious. Prices are very reasonable and the service (Thanks Josh!) was speedy and very friendly. Great place. read more

Heard a lot of good things about this place so I had high expectations. This is just another place serving overpriced, Americanized Mexican food in restaurant a hipster environment. I would rather take my money down the street and get some real Mexican food at half the price. read more

I always have kind, welcoming, and efficient service at Corazon, but I have to give mention to Jasmine and Carol for going the extra mile. They are each so clearly invested in their guests' experience. I always leave happier than when I arrived. read more

Came here for my birthday with 5 other people and was seated at a tall table with stools. But it's winter, so we all had large jackets and many of us had purses, with nowhere to put any of them. Not to mention, if I wanted to sit on a stool for an entire meal, I would sit at the bar. When we asked if we could wait longer for a booth instead of the table we were sat at, the staff told us it would be a wait of "more than an hour," and they said so as if we were inconveniencing them. So we stayed where we were. Less than 10 minutes later, a pair of women AND a group of four or five girls got seated at two separate large booths. Apparently we are all chopped liver. Anyway, the table was barely big enough for our food so we had to sit with our bags and jackets on our laps the entire time. I was so uncomfortable that I could not wait to get out of there and go home, and I apologized to my friends for choosing the place that I did. My suggestion? Coat hooks for the high tables with stools, or at least somewhere for people to put their stuff. I can guarantee we are not the first group to endure discomfort being here, and if you want us to spend more money & time at this establishment then you've gotta consider what our needs are. I mean, this is Milwaukee, where winter jackets are worn pretty much half of the year. The only reason I'm giving three stars is because the food is good and decently priced. read more

Great food for a vegans, but the red salsa is BAD! It is basically tomato sauce. It used to be good, but something happened. Otherwise, best spot in town. read more
