We visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Wingspread and the Lighthouse too - here in Racine, WI (home of the…read moreKringle), and we built up an appetite and were in the mood for Mexican food. Yelp pointed us here, as it's a popular spot and I would have to say that we really enjoyed our meals. We got a variety of tacos - barbacoa, picadillo, asada, and carnitas. The ham and cheese quesadilla was really tasty. The carne asada plate was also excellent. I ate all of the chips and they offer five (5) types of sauce!! We also got a steak burrito to go and looking back on this afternoon, we would definitely come back to eat at this authentic restaurant. I say authentic because I think we were the only non-Mexicans in this restaurant, although I do identify as Mexican, so I felt right at home. I randomly wore a Manny Pacquiao Nike shirt today, which caught some attention, but it was all good....

La Mexicana is one of my favorite taco spots in Racine!…read more I've been coming to this place for a few years now and it never disappoints. Tucked in the back of the store is a small restaurant with a full menu and let me tell you... their tacos are everything. They are always fresh, full of flavor and served with grilled onions and a roasted pepper on the side which I love. Honestly, they are definitely top three when it comes to tacos in Racine. What makes the spot even more special is how much more it offers beyond the restaurant. They are actually a small grocery/corner store as well. In addition to having a small restaurant in the back they are also a little paleteria (ice cream shop) so you can grab a refreshing popsicle or ice cream (perfect after a taco) and if you're in the mood for street corn they have those too (also one of the best in Racine). Whether I'm swinging by for a quick taco or elote fix or picking up a mangonada from their little paleteria window... I always leave happy. Friendly service, great food, and the authentic welcoming vibe keeps me coming back. Highly recommend!

We went there for the 1st time on Easter Sunday. We saw a great review and thought we'd try it…read more The location was nice, it's a storefront in a strip mall that had about 3-4 tables and some counter seats at the window. Their menu was quite limited. This is a place that you order and pay at the counter and sit down and eat. We ordered a Taco combo, Burrito combo and an order of chips and salsa. First issue I had was that they only had plasticware to eat with. The food itself came out on beautiful square (heavy) plates with a nice presentation.....but we had plastic forks to use. My husband's burrito couldn't be cut with a plastic knife and he broke his plastic fork in the burrito. Since we got it with salsa and cheese on top, it wasn't an item to pick up and eat with your hands. It was a bit confusing as they served it on such nice plates. We asked for a real knife and fork so he could eat his meal and they gave him a paring knife and a spoon. The girl was lovely and apologized explaining that was all they had. So he was trying to eat his burrito with a spoon.... The chips were extremely greasy and chewy. Not stale but like they weren't cooked long enough. The "mild" salsa was VERY HOT. Like burn your face hot. I ordered the 3 taco dinner 2 steak and 1 al pastor so that I could try both. The pork was just ok. Nothing special but the steak.... My husband asked what was wrong as my face must have shown my disappointment. The seasoning on that tasted just like an Old El Paso seasoning. No offense to Old El Paso as I use it every week to make my "American Tacos"....but on STEAK??? AT A MEXICAN RESTAURANT?????? The rice had no flavor and the beans were fine...a little bland but not horrible. My issue was that neither the rice nor beans were hot. They were barely room temperature as my husband also said with his. They put a sprinkle of cheese on our beans and his burrito and it never melted because none of our food was hot enough to melt it. If that all wasn't bad enough, you are suppose to scrape your plate and put your plates and trays on top of the trash bins. When we did that, the STENCH coming from the trash made my husband gag! We were there at 11:35am. Unless they left garbage from the night before or never clean it, that should NOT have been that bad! Overall, there is nothing that would ever make me go back and give them another try- not even a free meal or 2....and that's bad! Avoid if possible....

Authentic hispanic food on the north side of Racine, WI!…read more Food: authentic, well portioned,made fresh, and really flavorful. The menu has everything from Hispanic tacos, enchiladas, torta's, ceviche (shrimp cocktail), and even caldo (soup). Service: Never had a bad experience in service at this place and it's been around for a long time. The waiters/waitresses are kind and do their best to get the food out as quickly as possible. Value: equivalent to other Hispanic restaurants in the area. I especially love that when you dine-in, you are given chips+salsa AND a small cup of chicken noodle soup at no cost, if you'd like. The chicken noodle soup is one of my husband's favorites. Ambiance: very colorful. Walls are decorated with Mexican themed decor. Location: located on the north side of Racine, WI. On a busy street (Douglas Ave) with no private parking. Street parking is usually available. The restaurant recently took over a small business that was next door to them and they used the space to expand the restaurant, thus there is a lot more seating for dine-in. Please beware that the restaurant is not located in the best neighborhood. 1318 Douglas Ave, Racine, WI 53402 Dine-in or carry out options!

Also, their beans are so flavorful compared to other places around. I actually like eating them. Usually I just leave my beans. The only down side is that they are NOT open late.

Purchased from this place twice- once dining in and once for carry out which I sent my husband to…read morepick up. Food: 5/5 very delicious in taste and great sized portions. The menu features lots of excellent Mexican cuisine choices including quesadillas, birria/ chorizo/ or steak tacos, Mexican breakfast options, and a small kids menu. During our first experience here, my husband ordered the steak taco plate which included 3 tacos, rice and beans. He also ordered the birria ramen. I, myself, ordered the birria taco plate which included 3 birria tacos, the consume, rice, and beans. We thought everything tasted very good! Beverages include: Different Mexican beverages such as Jarritos, Mex Coke, Horchata etc. Once could also canned soda, coffee, or juice. Their horchata was delicious-not overly sweet or watery at all. As far as alcoholic beverages, they have those, too! Paloma's, margaritas, and I was informed that they will soon have a mocktail menu. Service: Excellent. My husband and I dined-in on a very busy Sunday and there was no where to sit except a high counter-top area. We placed our order and were offered a table as soon as one became available. While eating, we were asked at least 3-4x if everything was okay or if we needed anything by various staff members. Prior to leaving, it started pouring rain outside. My husband paid our bill then went to pull our car closer to the door. While he was doing that, one of the employees by the name of Lupe grabbed an umbrella and walked me to the car when he pulled up (it's summertime and I was in summer attire including sandals). When I ordered carry out and sent my husband to pick up, I only wanted rice and beans. For some reason, he did not check the bag before leaving. He ended up coming home with some else's entire order which had no beans or rice. The restaurant was set to close in 15 mins, thus I did not bother to call about it. Value: $10-$20 on average for a meal and regular beverage. Great value for the portion sizes. Ambiance: Nice ambiance, yet very small restaurant with a bar area. Few tables outside for outdoor seating. Location: 2343 Mead St, Mt. Pleasant, WI, 53403 Phone: 262-456-0154 *Parking is all street parking and not the greatest when the place is busy. Check Google for business hours before going as it seems to change often. Cons in my opinion: * Because the restaurant is so small, I didn't like that large families were dining in and being *dining squatters* by taking up a few tables and conversing with one another for a long time, which took up a lot of space for a lot time. *dining squatter- someone that dines at a place, taking their sweet time eating, and lounging around after eating. * this business also owns a food truck, so it seems that their restaurant hours of operation change quite often depending on when they will take their food truck out.

First time visiting Contento. Located in beautiful downtown Delafield. Nicely decorated inside with…read morea huge lighted sign on the wall - TACOS. We were seated promptly and the place was almost full for Saturday dinner. After a short wait, they brought us table waters and left a large bottle of water for refills. I was a little disappointed that they didn't get us started with chips and salsa as is typical for most Mexican restaurants. They have a nice liquor selection and an expanded page of a variety of Tequilas and specialty margaritas. The menu is limited to only one page but focuses on a nice variety of appetizers, Tacos and meals. For starters, we ordered the Chips and pico de gallo. The pico was very fresh and tasty and came with a generous portion of tortilla chips. For dinner, we ordered 3 tacos each - Manolos Bam Bam chicken tacos, Milwalke taco, Shrimp cilantro tacos, and the Quasi birria taco. When they arrived they seemed pretty small but our eyes were bigger than our stomach. Each soft corn tortilla taco was loaded with the selected meat and accompanied toppings. Each one was very delicious with generous amounts of chicken, shrimp, and steak with just the right amount of spice. After 3 of them I was stuffed! For dessert, we tried the stuffed Churros which were lightly coated with cinnamon and came with 2 dipping sauces of chocolate and creamy donut glaze. So good! Overall, we had a great experience at Contento.Nice atmosphere for lunch or dinner. The Lucha Libre pictures and wall paper in the men's bathroom were very cool!

Stopped into Contento after an event next door because it appeared tables were open and last year…read morewhen we walked by it was beyond packed so we were hopeful for a table this time. Found out tables were only available via reservation which I thought was a bit odd for a Mexican restaurant but we were offered a seat at the bar so we jumped on that. Inside the decor was festive with a number of Frida pictures and great wallpaper in the restroom. We ordered guacamole and tacos. The guacamole came out quickly and was tasty, with a slightly sweet twist due to the pomegranate seeds and chips just as I like them. I ordered the milwalke and manolos bam bam tacos. I preferred the bam bam because it was filled a bit more but I didn't love the mayo based sauce on either. I would've preferred that on the side or, even better, an offering of salsa instead. I would've loved to review their salsa but only heard about it as I was finished up and it was offered to the couple sitting next to us at the bar. I was excited to try here but there were a few misses during our visit so we'll head to other local restaurants when we're in the area for a more satisfying meal next time.
