I got a combination dinner for delivery and it was so good! Flavorful, fresh and well thought out, they were even thoughtful enough to include a lime wedge garnish. I chose pork and it was such a good decision! It had a ton of flavor and was full of moisture. And, the beans! The beans. So many Mexican restaurants don't put a lot of care into their beans but these were some of my favorite beans EVER! Go get dinner here! I'll be back! read more

I've been on a mission to find the best tacos in Milwaukee for the last 10 years, I have checked off many places and tried well over 20 taco places. How did I not discover this amazing hole in the wall? I have to say that this is now my new favorite taco spot. The authenticity is real. There are several food trucks around Milwaukee and one other location. I have been back twice now in a weeks span, you're seated right away, and they bring out the best chips and salsa on the house, I mean, come on now! Not to mention they give you the most giant cups of water you can imagine! They take your order right away, and to my surprise, the food was out in less than five minutes, hot, fresh, and smelling delicious. I ordered five different tacos with five different meats, each one of them was cooked, perfectly, juicy, tender flavorful. The chorizo blew me away. I had to order another one. The price of the tacos is great. The rest of the food on the menu is also delicious. I love the rice. After going there twice, having to incredible experiences, having hot fresh tacos, ready in under five minutes, this this place is definitely in my top three. I'm excited to take my dad here soon! read more

Stopped here last night for dinner. This is my first time at this truck, my husbands second. The menu has a pretty decent selection for a truck. I knew it had to be pretty good because there was a line and pretty decent flow the entire time we were there. I ordered three steak tacos. I didn't want to pay the $1.50 for the dinner, but my husband convinced me to. I'm not sure if the man at the window knew I wanted to change my order to include the dinner or not because he didn't make it one. Which was fine, I was satisfied with my tacos. I also wasn't charged for the dinner either. My husband got the pastor burrito dinner and a steak taco. His burrito was delicious. He was satisfied with his food, perfect amount for him. The service was good, our food came out fast. This would be a good spot to go too if you're looking for a quick bite and don't want to go to a Mexican restaurant. read more

The food was very good and authentic to Mexican cuisine. I'm not going to over hype the quality and say they're the best tacos but they're really good at being consistent in taste and texture. Service is good and ambience is great for families. I wouldn't recommend going at night as the neighborhood can be a bit sketchy at night. Many people from all walks come here and they are usually a family friendly establishment. If you like tacos this is definitely a spot to consider! read more

I've been wanting to try more authentic tacos around Milwaukee, and I only ever go to the same taco truck because it's just so good! I've heard really good things about this restaurant's main location in Racine, so I was excited to try. First of all- the portions are great! If you're used to chipotle's tiny little container of guacamole, this place will pleasantly surprise you as you get a nice big portion size with chips for a reasonable price. I really enjoyed their carne asada tacos with onion and cilantro. Definitely add lime juice to make it taste even better! These tacos tasted super authentic which made it very comparable to some of the best tacos I've had. While I'm still partial to my favorite taco truck- I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. read more

Let me start by saying I was born and raised in Milwaukee but so much has changed since I moved back 8 years later. I love that this place hasn't changed at all. Small and the tables are kind of close but it's cozy and you get a homey feeling just being there. They still do spacing per COVID there's tables so people can sit anywhere. Their salsa is still so good and their food is still delicious. I'm happy to see you guys are just as awesome deff recommend weather it's a hangover meal family meal or just a small date. read more

I'm not sure whether this place is related to the Taqueria Arandas in Racine... which I LOVE. But either way, the truck is also pretty good. Just had some tacos, and the portions were huge and tasted great even after the 20 minutes it took to get home. They gave us some salsa which was nice and spicy but not overpowering. If they are related to the Racine location, I missed the avocado sauce... but that's OK. Around 5pm, lots of people waiting in line to pick up tacos or burritos. read more

When I tried their tacos for the first time, I thought about the Taco Truck from Racine. They aren't the same entity so I can't make a comparison between the two. However, I will say the tacos were pretty decent and their Horchata is pretty delicious because it's not the powered stuff most restaurants like to use. This is definitely one of my "go to" places for tacos. read more

I go out of my way to go to Taqueria Arandas. Best tacos in town, and for under $2 a taco. The steak tacos and pork tacos are my favorites, but I haven't had a bad taco there, ever. The salsas and pico de gallo are delicious with the chips or on your taco, the guacamole is near perfect, and every other item I've had there is prepared very well. Food is always out to the tables quickly, regardless of how many people are in the restaurant, and the wait staff is always friendly. read more

This is the best burrito truck I have had in Milwaukee so far. I had the steak burrito with extra beans and some celantro thrown in for an authentic Mexican flavor. It was the largest/meaty burrito off a truck. This was the tastiest buttito so far. I had this burrito a year when I was exploring Milwaukee before I moved here and I thought it was good but I didn't know where i was when I found it so I never had one again. A couple weeks ago I was on 27 north of Oklahoma and I saw the truck and that sparked the memory and I thought I found it. Today I was at el ray and I wanted see if the truck was there so I went over. Jack pot. I came over the hill and there it was with cars in back and in front. This is a $5.00 burrito that blows away the $11.50 I had at señor sol which was crap compared to this truck. I will always try other trucks but this will be my burito of choice for now. It was so meaty that I could only eat 60% before I was full, what a deal. read more

I usually do not take the time for a negative review. I will say that I went in alone. About 2/3rd of the restaurant was full. I ordered 4 tacos. I left an hour and twenty minutes later. I was done eating in about a half hour/ forty minutes. It took over a half hour to get rung up. The steak and chicken tacos were good. they come in two corn shells (I like one shell tacos) the other two I took a risk with and did not like. They also did not have the Brewers game on. All tvs had soccer on. I will say this. If you just want tacos, or burrito,s hitting up the truck is a can't lose. The service is fast the tacos are cheap and delicious.

Had dinner on 8/31/2016. I love hole-in-the-wall places, especially Mexican. If it has lengua on the menu, chances are it's an authentic place. They did, and it impresses. PERFECTLY cooked in a savory salsa verde. I went here because of the Yelp reviews just to see what it was about. Huge portions and great prices. We both brought half our meals home for the next day. My only complaint is you can't get a margarita (or any alcohol for the matter). Kind of a bummer since we enjoy a margarita when out for Mexican.

I wonder if their expansion and success has spread them thin over the years. Sometimes the service is good, sometimes it's like an afterthought. I've also ordered delivery from them many times and it's been generally fine, but not often great. Tonight I ordered delivery, paid extra for expedited service, and I really just wanted some good cheese and onion enchiladas. The delivery time was quick. Despite that, my food was cold. My black beans - literally cold. The cheese enchiladas - um, the cheese on top wasn't even melted. The rice had no flavor at all, like it could have literally been plain white, tepid rice. So I don't know what is going on at Cafe Corazon, but it's just not good anymore and that makes me really sad.

The hardest part was deciding what I wanted to get! The curds were delicious, beer battered which is my fav. Corn was good. Everything was saucy and delicious, no complaints from anyone at the table. Definitely a good spot to grab a bite with your beer!

We'd been coming to Central Waters for a while, when one night we found ourselves hungry. Since Troublemakers Cocina was open, we gave it a try. We've been hooked ever since! Our two favorite menu items are the Carne Asada Fries and the Carne Asada Burrito. Both are flavorful, fresh, and filling. Triple threat! Prices are reasonable and the staff are always friendly. Plus you can have a scrumptious beer from Central Waters while you wait for your beeper to go off. And the setting is in an old gorgeous church converted into a brewery/event space. You can't beat that ambiance! Prices are reasonable, the space is clean, and there is plenty of seating for groups of all sizes. And there are screens for watching games. This place is an all-around winner! Hungry and thirsty, make your way to Troublemakers Cocina today!

It's Saturday and I'm thinking......Don Lucho!!!!!…read more The team has been up since late night roasting and boiling and creating the most amazing carnitas you will find in Milwaukee. Get here early - parking sucks, and suburbanites will freak out at the hood, but no worries Jesus is right next door at St. Josaphats basilica and will watch over you. And don't forget to take a tour of one of this country's most beautiful cathedrals. Right there by Don Luchos. You can eat here. Lots of long communal tables so don't be shy. Prices aren't cheap but this is quality. I usually get a pound or so of carnitas. They measure it out, it's steaming, and ask if you want it chopped. I say yes. It's wrapped up tightly and it will feed you all weekend. This meat is freaking amazing!!!! I pray they haven't run out of homemade tortillas, but like I said, you gotta come EARLY. Sigh. There's about 6 different amazing salsas to try. Smoky, fresh, green, red, hot sweet - I get two for the weekend. I consider a quart of menudo. I think about. Lamb, goat, barbacoa, chorizo - but I have enough. Too hungry to wait to go home, I sit down to eat. Two tacos - huge! The best was the barbacoa - tasty little carmelized deeply flavored meat bits. Hey - don't go expecting American extras like sour cream or cheese. This is the real thing. Warming: one taco will do you. Got a side of rice and beans - yum. Don Lucho is a treasure. It is authentic, mom and pop, and these are the businesses I love to support. For an incredible adventure and source of authentic carnitas, git yourself down to da south side ya day hair and ENJOY!!!!!!
