They were open an hour earlier than the cheese mart so we headed here first and got our meats! The set up looks like a big empty space and all the meats are inside small slide top fridges or are behind a glass display. I guess it's more sanitary that way? Anyway the prices were great and I got a ton of different types of meats to take back home. I got some sliced meats that I made sandwiches with when I got back to my hotel. A perfect lunch! The hickory smoked meat sticks were a great travel snack.

The only crime here is that this place isn't a chain and it's miles away from me. Our waitress was amazing, the vibes were perfect, everything felt intentional in the best way.

I am still thinking about them and genuinely wish I could figure out how to recreate them at home. TikTok actually delivered on this one. Very happy we ended up going.

And most of all once you get something here, you can always go to so many other stores at this public market, which is so much fun.

They have Hispanic products if you need additional stuff (grocery/produce) and don't want to go somewhere else.

We stopped here because we were early for our dinner reservation and heard great things about it…read more It was everything that we had hoped it would be. They were celebrating Firkin Fridays with grill outs from South America. We had a drink and an IPA, some grilled pork belly - which was AMAZING, and chicken wings that were just as great and sat outside, enjoying our beverages and appetizers. I wish I had a cooler in my car and I would have gotten some meat for home, but alas, we did not. So the next time we go, I am bringing along a cooler for some amazing farm to table meat and groceries. I strongly suggest you show up for your reservation to La Merenda early and enjoy the what treasures the market has to offer :)

Date of visit: March 28, 2026…read more This was our second stop on a birthday date night and was a lovely little find! While the menu is limited and not cheap, staff were very friendly and walked us through everything before we selected a couple of things to try. Pretty much all of the cheeses and accoutrements were fantastic! One of the cheese on our plate was the espresso version of Bellavitano, which happens to be one of my favorites, so that was a nice little bonus for me. In addition to the board, we also went with the ricotta bites, which featured one sweet and one savory option, both of which we also really liked. The shop is cozy and if this was somewhere that I lived walking distance from, I could totally see myself coming here fairly regularly and having a little cheese and ambiance. During our time there we saw both couples on dates and old friends gathering for a drink and a nosh, all of which I found just wonderful. Really the only thing keeping this from a five star review was that the side items, such as the crackers were not plentiful enough for the cheese. I know that ratio can be hard to nail but it was not quite on the mark here, unfortunately. However, that would not be enough to prevent me from returning!

See my 5-star of American Family First Field, 4-star of Cargo Coffee East (in Madison), & 5-star of Indeed Brewing Company. Yet another 5-star experience in Milwaukee. On Saturday, September 4, 2021, my friend was interested in the science museum, but I was interested in seeing more variety of things in downtown Milwaukee. So, I dropped him off and did my own stuff that afternoon. One thing was stopping at the Milwaukee Public Market, which my friend from Arizona highly recommended. My friend really missed out on this one! Like the night before, I had cheese curds again here at West Allis! When in Rome, right?! Cheese curds were outstanding, which was the side to my also outstanding Muenster grilled cheese sandwich on buttery toasted sourdough. Of the 3 cheese curds I had in Milwaukee, all 3 of which were excellent, West Allis was the very best of 3 excellent choices. Cheese curds in Maryland (where I live) don't compare; see my 4-star review of Brew Belly in Olney, MD visited 2.5 months after Milwaukee trip written on 10/6/25; other aspects of that place were stronger, cheese curds were more of a 3-star (I was spoiled in Milwaukee), but still even those cheese curds were far superior to the worst date of 2021 at Brew Belly. The line at West Allis was long at lunchtime on that Saturday of Labor Day weekend, but the staff was efficient & cordial getting people through the line in reasonable time as well as getting the food quickly. I think I ate in an upstairs area of the market where there was some seating. If I was ever in Milwaukee again, I'd come back here, Brewers game if it timed well: Go Brew Crew!

I picked something up and asked questions about it and the staff answered it. There's a lot of cheeses to choose from so come prepared to spend some time debating on which one to take home and how much. Everyone makes a stop here to try out their signature Bloody Mary's. They all come with straight chasers and come pretty stuffed so don't come on a full stomach. Their Milwaukeean Bloody Mary is a full meal is self. Try it out.

This is a super authentic, unassuming grocery store and restaurant. It's just south of Walkers…read morePoint and even though I've lived here 3-4 years, never really noticed it. Someone told me that they liked the tacos here and were the best in Milwaukee. I took a mental note. Pull into the lot and headed through the sliding doors. You will probably be the only Caucasian, so suck it up whitey. There's tons of booze! Not sure how late it's open or what it might be like at 8:45 on a Saturday. Keep on walking and you'll pass by canned and packaged goods and then at the end some nice fruits and vegetables. There is also a deli with lots of meat next to a small restaurant and a few tables to dine. The food cost won't even come close to making an indent to the bank, my 3 tacos were a grand total of $5 (and left a buck in the tip jar). I ordered steak, lengua, & chorizo (which I'm 90% sure ended up being carnitas). My favorite was the steak. This was only my second time trying lengua and it went about as well as my first time (one bite and done). What I think ended up being carnitas instead of chorizo had quite the number of hard, grizzly pieces, but this sh!t is authentic! This is how tacos roll in the homeland. And while in Rome.... order it and eat it. The green sauce that came with the tacos was really tasty. A little spicy but not really. They probably have a rojo (red) sauce that is hotter, I'm guessing, but this juera will have to ask about it next time. Tacos Locos Foreverrrrrr! (just me making a dorky movie reference)

WTF WTF was I in the twilight zone here. 4 days ago this restaurant was reviewed and pictures were…read moreleft that looked good so I drove over to check out the restaurant. The place is a Spanish grocery store and a restaurant which was fairly busy so I work my way to the back where the restaurant is and I'm standing in front of the order counter for a few minutes and I realize that no one is working it. I start looking closer at the kitchen and it's dead with nothing turned on, nothing on the stove so it looks closed. I ask the butcher if the kitchen was open and he says it's closed, I ask when does it open and he says he doesn't know so I'm confused and think there is a language problem. I walk up to the cashier and ask her when does the restaurant open and she says it just closed thinking that I came late today and I missed them. I ask the cashier when do they reopen and she turns to a guy behind her to ask him and she says when someone rents it, are you fuc#%ng kidding me, in four days it went from a review to closing down. The bottom line is I was super excited to eat here and I drove all the way across town to find them shut down so it was a complete waste of time, phone first if this place ever has an open restaurant again before you head over.

I'm still a big fan of this place. I took my nieces here on a Friday night, a few couples were…read morethere but it wasn't overly crowded. We ordered a 12 pack of doughnut and were able to pick 4 flavors. The s'mores ones were amazing! We also really liked the puppy chow. While ordering, one niece picked out Bart's birthday cake and I said something to her like oh you picked those because we are celebrating your birthday. I didn't think much of it but after our doughnuts were delivered, staff asked her if she wanted powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar doughnuts to go for her birthday. She loved getting to leave with an extra treat. We had fun playing pinball while we waited and one of my nieces commented on how she really liked the vibe of the place. They both said the mini doughnut place was a highlight of their weekend with me.

The selection of donuts looked delicious so I placed an order for a six-pack of donuts. Got to pick out three different flavors. Wait time was a ridiculous but i gave them a break due to the high traffic from the event going on outside. When I finally got my order I had to laugh. These donuts were the size of donut holes. One bite donuts? No exaggeration, I paid a premium price for full size donuts and I all I got were bite size dough balls. I was mad as a Danzig at a Bulletboys concert. Don't waste your time with this place. Happy Dough Lucky is just happy to take your dough. No luck involved.
