I've seen this truck parked on Cesar Chavez Drive (S. 16th St.) off Mineral many times, and I was…read morein the mood for a burrito, so I took a drive on Chavez to look for the usual trucks. Then I saw Berta's and decided to try their tamales, since I've never ordered from this truck before. The menu is small, which is a good thing because you can't do much on a truck. Tamales were $1.50 each, burritos were $5.50, and tacos were $1.75 to $1.95, the flour tortilla cost a bit more than the corn tortilla tacos. I also saw quesadillas and tortas on the menu. I rarely order tamales because most places will use too much masa (the corn "shell" under the husk - you don't eat the husk) so the filling to masa ratio is way off and favoring the masa, or the masa is too dry. I like a tamale to have enough filling and a thin enough layer of masa that the filling is the star and provides the dominant flavor. I ordered one pork and one chicken. The tamales were very easy to unwrap (you don't eat the husk it's wrapped in), so bonus points there. Often the husk gets embedded into the masa when it's rolled, and I'll have to surgically remove corn husk from my tamale without breaking the tamale apart. That gets messy. The pork tamale (or tamal, if you prefer) was pretty good. The pork seemed to be stewed, so the broth added flavor to the masa. The pork was tender and had a good flavor. The chicken tamale was an example of what I don't like about tamales. The masa to filling ratio was off, and even though the masa wasn't as dry as I expected, it was still a bit too bland. The chicken had a decent marinade, may have been salsa verde, but not enough to tell. So, I liked one but not the other. However, the one that I liked was good enough to make me go back and try other menu items, like their tacos or burrito, or maybe a torta.

My normal Mexican food truck for nachos was gone an a Sunday night and this new one was in its…read moreplace so I decided I was going to stop anyway because I already made the drive. I ordered the ground beef nachos with added cilantro and onions like usual and I'm told nacho are steak only, no ground beef. Ok I wasn't in an argumentative mood so I said sure. OMG my king of nachos was dethroned that I have been getting for years by a truck that had a really good steak burrito on my first visit. The flavors were great with slight gristle in the steak but overall the nachos were really tasty for my palette. Dam this truck has no consistently at all on where I spot it but I will seek the steak nachos out again, sorry forever champ.

That made us a little hesitant at first, but our server was the sweetest lady. She was friendly, gave us refills, and was attentive. We ordered burritos, tacos, and flan. Everything came out in a timely manner and was tasty. The chips and salsa were also delicious. The whole menu is very affordable and the portions are generous, so you get a lot of bang for your buck. I'm glad I found this place and look forward to coming back here and trying more of their food.

I stopped here after a weird experience at the Chinese restaurant next door for lunch. The place is clean looking with just tables and chairs. You can enter from the mall hall or parking lot store front doors which is weird. The menu is like American diner crashed into a Mexican restaurant because it has classic American diner breakfast and sandwich's with Mexican food also which is cool. I was not super hungry so a dinner was out but 3 tacos was probably just slightly more than I wanted and would work. I was going to sample the tacos with Asada, Al pastor and chorizo street style with just cilantro and onion. My order didn't take long and my tacos were hot off the grill on my favorite corn tortillas, flour just doesn't have an authentic flavor in my opinion. I sampled all the meats before topping my tacos with the hot sauce to get an idea of how meat really tastes. The steak was moist but not seasoned with some gristle in it and pretty boring. The chorizo had more flavor but the skimpiest meat wise. The Al pastor was my favorite because it was the tastiest of the tacos with a sweet finish but I didn't have any pineapple in my taco. Overall the tacos were ok and nothing spectacular but I would like to try the breakfast next time because I'm a breakfast junkie.

Fresh tortillas in MKE, made right in the Morgandale 'hood, which is in your backyard and you don't…read moreeven know it. You get a bazillion of them for, like, two bucks. Seriously. Two pounds of tortillas is something like $2.95. You will receive them warm and in a plastic bag. The owner's super nice, grew up in the neighborhood, his dad barely speaks any English... this family-run joint is legit to the max. The spot is no frills yet charming, and the tortillas... my god, the tortillas. Made with white corn and they're the perfect in-between: not too paste-y or flavorless like flour tortillas can be, and not too heavy and or full of overwhelming corn flavor like straight up yellow corn tortillas can be. A few local spots carry these tortillas, including Bel-Air Cantina. More local spots should carry locally made goods. Do your homework, locavore-proclaimers. I'd love to be able to pick these tortillas up at, say, a Beans & Barley, a Sendik's, Outpost, etc. *wink nudge hint* Now you know, and the more you know, the better you live.

Soon their stuff will hit stores, but right now you can enjoy them at local restaurants like both Bel Air locations, La Fuente, and more. They make a white corn tortilla, which is really the best.

These tortillas are Baby Bear just right and I'll make the trip down here for them.

For $11 it is the best enchiladas dinner I've had. Today they offered $3 pork or chicken tamales. They are both fantastic.

They *do* accept credit card (+$1 charge) as a heads up! I ordered two tacos: one pastor and one cabeza. They came out quickly and I gulped them down - both were so tasty; my tortilla was slightly crispy and hot, and both meats had some of the crispy, yet juicy parts inside. I would most definitely order again before going grocery shopping as a little snack. Staff was pleasant and kind and answered my questions thoughtfully. I stand by the fact that most of my favorite and best tacos in Milwaukee are $2-3 and not those with brick and mortar buildings, but the taco trucks speckled on the south side. Don't pass them up!
