Emon D. / Yelp
Rick R. / Yelp Hands down, this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Milwaukee, and their authentic tacos prove it. If you’re ordering take-out, you may have to speak up to be heard in this lively restaurant, but the staff is always so nice about it. You can drown yourself in tasty all-authentic Mexican food any day of the week… except Tuesdays- that’s the one day they’re closed (weird, right?)
La Casa De Alberto is located at 624 W. National Avenue in Milwaukee.
- Riviera Maya

- Mazorca
Mazorca / Facebook
Rick R. / Yelp This brand new taco truck in the Fifth Ward is to die for. They’re parked on the corner of 1st and Pittsburgh every day, and it’s always a good choice. These are some of the best tacos you can find, thanks in part to the handcrafted tortillas they whip up every day. Make sure to bring some cash, as they don’t take cards. This taco truck gets five stars from us.
Mazorca is located on the corner of 1st and Pittsburgh Avenue in Milwaukee.
