Tacos and el toro special
Jennifer N.

I was craving tacos and while there are many many places here, I was recommended this place by a friend. I am reviewing as someone who does not eat a lot of Mexican food/unfamiliar with prices BUT I do know if I enjoy the food or not. Service felt fine and our server was nice and attentive. I don't expect much from small local shops. We ordered 4 tacos (2 lengua and 2 carne asada) and then the El toro special plate. Everything was great! Compared to places I would normally go to, I felt like the prices were fair. 4 tacos were about $12.

Plenty of drinks, fully stocked bar area!

Excellent authentic Mexican food with large portions ,professional,polite,and accommodating service with bilingual staff, with delightful Mexican decor. Awesome bar is separate from the dining and has seven flat screens to watch your favorites and both Mexican and American beers and alcohol as well as soda.Terrifc portions at a decent price. Plenty of drinks to choose from!

That's the Oklahoma location where I found the truck.

I found the truck in front of discount liquor around noon so since I'm trying to stop at every new food that I have not been to I stopped. The menu has all the standard Mexican items but I thought I would do a couple street tacos because I was not super hungry for a big lunch. I ordered the steak and Al Pastor tacos with cilantro and onions that were ready pretty quick, probably the quickest of any taco truck. I tried a piece of each meat first to get an idea of how the meat taste. The steak was good but not very exciting and the Al Pastor was the winner today with a tasty sweet flavor. The tacos were tasty on warm corn tortillas but I thought that they were small was my first impression. The Al Pastor taco with cilantro and onions was definitely the winner today over the steak. The bottom line is that if I was shopping the liquor store and the truck was out I would definitely try more of the menu.

Ate at the restaurant on Mitchell. Food was delicious! Had the burrito, tacos and quesadilla. Chips came with 3 salsas - all very good. Downside was the menu is in Spanish & waitstaff spoke limited English. And didn't tell us you have to walk to the counter to get the bill. I'm will definitely go back!

Pastor Tacos are amazing. Walked up and there was one person in front of me. Everything was prepared and ready to go in less than 5 minutes. I took mine to go. Neatly packed with lime and two different kinds of salsa. Again the pastor really impressed me.

Mediana al pastor quesadilla
Sarah S.

For what it is, this place is amazing! After a night drinking at Bryant's, we needed tacos, so we ended up walking a few blocks to Taqueria El Toro. I ended up getting the mediana al pastor quesadilla. It was massive! If you're just looking for a drunk snack, I recommend the small. The al pastor was so tasty, and the whole plate was very greasy and cheesy and delicious. They bring you out chips and three salsas, which is great! The waitress was so nice (although be prepared to speak Spanish), and it was so cheap! Overall, perfect drunk food!

Chicken Tacos and chorizo taco
Jose N.

The El Toro truck off of Oklahoma has been parked here for a few months so thought I'd give the tacos a shot. I will say that they did not disappoint. We ordered chicken, chorizo, and pastor tacos. The tortillas were soft and warm, the green salsa had fantastic flavors and was mild while the red salsa had a little more heat but still flavorful. My wife said her chicken and chorizo tacos were the best she's ever had. I ordered the pastor and the sweetness of the pineapple paired with the spice of the pork was an awesome combo of flavors, add the salsa and lime they provide and the flavors really pop. The pastor had a 10 minute wait, and I must say it was well worth it. If ever near discount liquor or El Rey give this place a try. Very nice people with fresh ingredients.

Meat in the tacos was dry, no flavor. The cheese in the nachos was generic can cheese and the steak was dried up.

One of our favorite rooftops in the city!…read more A true Milwaukee gem that we enjoy as transplants! This rooftop is always a hotspot choice to enjoy some time with friends be sure to send someone ahead of time to grab a good seating location as spots fill up quickly. I also think recently they adjusted their pricing to give you a better value which is nice. The bartenders are always super helpful and there are good options for everyone. I will also say their food options and selections have increased tremendously recently.

On a recent short weekend trip to Milwaukee with my husband, we were staying at this Kimpton hotel…read moreand got to enjoy their wonderful rooftop bar, The Outsider. We were actually given two complementary drink beverages from the hotel staff for a reservation mixup which was appreciated and we took advantage of. 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.

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!
