Paid a visit on a Saturday night around 5:45 with reservations. We were seated promptly and service…read morewas good. The interior is somewhat stark in appearance, tiled walls, a mixture of high tops and normal tables with a bar running along one side of the establishment. The restaurant was moderately busy at the time of our visit, with one large group beside our own, a group of 8 young high school aged kids and our group of six, a few people at other tables and at the bar. Drink orders were taken but did seem to take more time than expected considering two bartenders and the number of adult patrons. A pitcher of margaritas at $39 was decent. Several other drink orders were taken throughout the meal. This place gets great ratings but not sure why. We ordered appetizers, no complimentary chips, guacamole and pico bowls, and a huge order of chicken nachos. The quac and chips were first rate, the nachos were ok but the amount of chicken considering the size of the dish was sparse, more beans than anything else. Our meal orders included a chicken quesadilla, a shrimp burrito bowl, a chicken burrito bowl, flautas de tinga, and 4 tacos (Al pastor, carne asada, ground beef). The quesadilla was enjoyed, those who had the burritos described them as ok, a lot was left uneaten. The flautas again were described as ok, nothing special. The tacos were the most disappointing choice. First they were the smallest tacos I've ever experienced considering the cost ($5 to $6 each), then the taste, the steak was tasteless, the pork better but again not special. Each taco was sparsely dressed with different salsas and cheese on house made corn tortillas. Considering the cost and the quality of our meals our thoughts were that things were over priced. Our total bill came to $256 including taxes but not tip. All agreed that if we were to return it would be for drinks and maybe an appetizer or two, but not a meal.

We also ordered the chimichanga cheesecake...delicious like your favorite Fair food. The spicy strawberry margarita was also a treat Fresh jalapenos gave it perfect heat to balance the strawberry sweetness. The place is adorable as well.

Their chicharron tacos in green salsa taste just like mom made them, and all their meats have a flavor you have to hunt down and go through 5-10 different spots to find them in other cities. Service is friendly, and the establishment is what you want a good Mexican restaurant to look like. The TV playing '90s Mexican music videos was a nice bonus. This is the best Mexican food in Milwaukee, the closest thing to it, and probably still falling short would be Atotonilco in Chicago. Don't overdo the brats, and head on over here for delicious and authentic Mexican food.

It came with the Mexican Rice and Cowboy Beans and churros for dessert. I also got the Rudy's classic margarita. We didn't see the waitress too much but they might've been busy or maybe she was the only one on staff. She was super nice though and got all of our orders correct. When we asked to split the checks at the end, it was sort of odd that they divided everything evenly, including drinks and put 1/4 of each drink on each check. The guacamole was nice and fresh and came with little tortilla strips on top which I took off to dip the tortilla chips in. The queso was nice, salty, and well seasoned. The Margarita was delicious, well blended, just strong enough and a nice size. As far as tacos, The Argentinian steak taco was definitely my favorite. The meat was cooked perfectly and very well seasoned. The El Pastor was also very flavorful and the avo vinaigrette that came on it paired well with the dish. The shrimp on the crispy shrimp taco were big and flavorful, just a little on the dry side. The rice and beans were pretty standard, nothing super special or memorable. The churros came out warm, nice crunch on the outside and soft in the middle. The white dipping sauce reminded me of cereal and the darker one was a chocolate with almost a mole sauce type taste. Super fun place and I would definitely come back!

They specialize in elevated street tacos and small plates. Tuesdays have $2 tacos and Thursdays have $3 tacos, and the kitchen stays open later than most, midnight Tuesday through Thursday and 1:30am Friday and Saturday. They had space for our group, but could only split the bill two ways, and gratuity was automatically added for groups of 6 or more. I was the first to arrive and was asked to wait at the bar since they couldn't seat us until everyone in the party was there. I ordered the Hibiscus Lime Margarita. It was refreshing, and I would order it again. Our table had multiple baskets of chips and salsa, and I added a bowl of queso fundido (chihuahua cheese, pepper jack cheese, corn salsa, paprika, and cilantro). My end of the table went through it quickly. For my meal I had two tacos, the Gringo Pollo (part of the Thursday special) and the Tuna Poke. Both came with items removed at my request and were tasty. Service was quick, and Oliver was friendly. Prices are reasonable, though a bit higher than I'd prefer. This would be an occasional fun spot for me, not my go-to taco place.

The menu features small bites, chicken, loaded fries, and they have specials too. I ordered at the counter and got a text once my food my was ready. There's plenty of seating inside the brewery and the interior is unique because it used to be a church. Don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure it was at some point. Anyway, I had to try the birria egg rolls because there was a ton of signage. First, they were quite large. The exterior had a great crunch and the interior was stuffed full of delicious birria, mozzarella, and chihuahua cheese. The ancho chipotle aioli was nice and smoky and paired well with the eggrolls. Definitely recommend and I wish I lived in the area because I could make a meal out of just these. I also tried one of the specials, the Chicken Tinga eggrolls. Again, they were bigger than expected, had a delicious, crispy exterior, and was stuffed full of chicken tinga and queso. It was served with a side of crema. Perfect pairing and I might have enjoyed these slightly more than the birria ones. I highly recommend that you check them out. I'm jealous that I don't live closer because we don't have a place like this in KC. They are definitely a unique place with delicious food.
