    Breakfast Tostadas
    Jalexis M.

    Lovely space to go enjoy some lunch or dinner. I always try different things, but lately I've been enjoying the breakfast tostadas! Flavorful and all the ingredients compliment eachother so well. My food was served quickly and so fresh. Got to try a new seasonal drink and was so refreshing. Perfect for the warm weather to come. Always served with a smile and able to get a good laugh in with the servers.

    Our party stopped on the way to a show in downtown and had a lovely late lunch. We went on a Saturday and the place was hopping. The noise in this small location was a steady buzz but we managed to converse just fine. The obligatory salsa and chips arrived and were very good. The salsa was freshly made and just spicy enough for everyone at our table to cope with. Our knowledgeable server steered us through the menu and I had their taco dinner with carne asada steak. Others had the Tostada dinner and the Hot Dog Taco meal. My taco was excellent on a wheat tortilla. The steak was nicely seasoned and the sides were delish. My partner's tostadas were equally yummy. The hot dog taco was the talk of the table when it arrived. It was a big hot dog...on a taco. I've gotta admit I had never heard of such a thing before. The person who ordered it declared it to be very good and polished it off in short order. It's located on the west side of Milwaukee near the Marquette campus, so there's a steady stream of students to keep things lively. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.

    Birria tacos

    We stopped here on our way thru town, and I'm so glad we did! The staff is friendly and welcoming, with the owner checking on us early in the meal. The food is FRESH and incredibly reasonable. If you don't get the birria tacos, what are you even doing?! The chips are delicious and the pico had my husband using a spoon to get every drop. 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. If I lived in Milwaukee I'd visit all the time!

    Menu: **** Service: ***** Ambiance: **** Value: ***** 4.5 stars if possible. First visit here, stopped in for lunch. Not real busy and we were seated immediately. Nice menu with plenty of options ala carte or full meals, small bar at the back of the restaurant, limited seating so be prepared if it is a nice day and time of day I would assume. They came with chips and salsa that had a bit of a kick. Price was very reasonable. The combo dinner included taco, tostada and enchilada (steak, ground beef or chicken) I got steak. Only disappointment was you could only get one choice of beef for all three. Rice and refried beans with the dinner plate. Price, $13.99 very reasonable for downtown. We did not try their margs, but they looked good. Overall, very good and we would come back for sure. Worth the try and visit.

    The atmosphere was very nice. Love the decor. We immediately got serviced. The food was good. They do give you a lot of meat in your tacos.

    Our friends brought us here and food and drinks were awesome! Staff was nice and food came quickly - it wasn't very busy. It has a casual feel with rustic/Mexican decor.

    #9 Taco Dinner

    Saw the raving reviews for this place for their birria. I'm not a big fan of it and love carne asada tacos. Got that and pastor taco plate. The tacos were overall a 3.75/5 I've had better food trucks in mke but the star of the show was the free chips and salsa. The salsa was the best salsa I've ever had in my life. I am not joking. I will go back for that salsa. It was so fresh and so flavorful. Chips were not the basic ones at Mexican chains either. 10/10 chips and salsa. It was almost more of a pico. But sooooo good.

    Enchiladas- chicken
    Erin P.

    Starting with the good: the Birria was one of the best we've ever had. If you're going to have anything here, this should be it. The Tostado we had was also on point. Constructed beautifully and delicious. The Taco was fine. No complaints but no wow factor either. You can't order an Enchilada ala carte but you are able to get a single one as a part of a dinner plate (one taco, one tostada, one enchilada). I don't know that seems weird but okay. The enchilada itself was just okay. It had a thicker sauce, wasn't very warm and had a cold spot in the center which really bummed me out. While the chimichanga had good flavor--it's so big that the bites you take become unbalanced. Instead of the perfect bite of a little shell, meat, and cheese, you often end up with one or the other. We'd rather have a couple smaller chimi's. The rice and beans were cold and had no flavor at all. While I understand sides are prepared in a larger portion ahead of time for quick turnaround--that should never happen. I don't know if it was an off day for them but we left thinking exactly what I opened with: if you're going to get anything here, get the Birria.

    Steak tacos

    1st time here. Seat yourself. (Realized when leaving it wasn't a seat yourself but no-one acknowledged us when we walked in) Took waitress 10 min to acknowledge me and bring silverware(no water), she stated she is making a drink for someone and will come take drink order, mind you the guy who went to bar came after we sat. But makes sense because we sat ourself smh She finally helps and seems not pleasant but not rude... like she doesn't like we sat our self lol again only reason we did is because no one acknowledged us We ordered a 1/2 pitcher margarita $16 ( happy hour) and what we thought 2.25 tacos which we got steak (carne asada) so was extra no problem because they were good. Added sour cream and that added 1.50 to bill. We also got chips complimentary with salsa that was veryyyy good. Overall the food is good would go again and NOT sit myself. I noticed alit of perhaps regulars, but I feel regardless you should make everyone feel welcome, and this visit not so much. But I always give 2nd chances and I think food is worth it.

    Stopped in for lunch and was very pleased. Lazo's was fairly empty at lunch, but I had seen enough of the Birria taco pictures in my feed to know to order just that! Immediately after I sat down, a party of thirteen walked in. Sacre bleu- take my order quickly! The party of thirteen during normal lunch hours did gum up the service a bit. I LOL'd when one of them said "we're on a bit of a time crunch." But the birria tacos and consomme were great! The dining area is nicely decorated. In December it might be essential to get one of those temporary outdoor wind blockers for the door that leads directly in, as it was mildly freezing indoors from carryout traffic going in and out. I can't believe Lazo's has been open in this location for three years - I guess I'm not often hungry in this immediate area, but I'll be back.

    ICYMI: It's Latinx Heritage Month (9/15-10/15) so go support an awesome Latinx-owned business like this one! I ordered lunch for delivery on Friday, and oh my goodness was it an extremely tasty meal. I've actually never eaten inside this restaurant, but have always had good takeout experiences. They use EatStreet as a third party delivery service, which was not only easy and convenient, but the food arrive quick and still pipping hot. Somehow I've lived my whole life without trying Birria tacos, and Lazo's was a wonderful first experience. I received four shredded beef tacos, in which the the corn tortillas were pan-fried and crispy. Like nothing I've ever had before. They were stuffed with a very generous amount of meat, melty cheese, onion and cilantro. The tacos alone had amazing flavor, but on the side came consomè to dip these bad boys in and it added even more good taste to each bite. Consomé is the liquid the birria meat cooks and ends up being soup-like with added ingredients like tomato, chiles, garlic and more. 10/10 birria tacos, definitely recommend!

    Crispy, cheesy bites tacos. Incredible. Consume was on the thicker side which I love. Elotes were rich and creamy. Great spot.

It was a very cold Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of snow both on the ground and coming down. But the view could not be beat and the roaring fire definitely kept the covered patio space plenty warm. Our server was extremely kind and attentive. We had eaten a big lunch so we did not partake in any food but both of the cocktails we ordered were delicious. I ordered a tiramisu-inspired coffee cocktail while my husband ordered a pumpkin inspired old-fashioned. The drinks were strong and one was plenty to enjoy before an evening out.
