ELECTRiC LiME TAQUERiA — Restaurant in Milwaukee

I could not say enough good things about this place!😍 My new favorite restaurant in Milwaukee! Electric Lime has always been outstanding- their brand new location is premium in the Lower East Side near Cathedral Square. The atmosphere is to perfection! A wide open spice, the interior is the definition of downtown chic. My favorite table was sat next to wall of windows that open up, it’s the most welcoming ambiance and the music choice is upbeat and inviting! The staff gives top tier service. They are friendly, attentive, and you can tell they are happy to be there! They make you feel like they know you and go above and beyond to make the dining experience special!

My fiancé and I had first came here for a date night. He had gotten the nachos, and I the carne asada (steak) tacos! The portions are incredible, and every bite is so savory! We were fortunate enough to have Jess our first time dining here. Our experience was so incredible, I took myself out the next night and treated myself to all her recommendations! You cannot go wrong with anything you order: the guacamole is made fresh to serve, and the chips are like a crispy, airy cloud! Pictured above is the guac with a carne asada quesadilla. The quesadilla is on another level; it’s a luxury take on the recipe!🤣🙏🏼 Nothing else compares to their Pina Colada recipe either— it tastes like paradise. You can tell everything here is freshly made order and you cannot go wrong with anything!☺️ They have options for all! From cocktails, to mocktails, vegetarian options, nearly everything is gluten-free, nut-free, very considerate of allergies, and made from scratch! You can tell there was so much thought and intention put into the menu.

Electric Lime is an absolute gem in downtown Milwaukee, and I highly encourage anyone and everyone in the area to check this place out! This is my new go-to spot, and cannot wait to take my friends/family here for more dining experiences!☺️

My phone could not eat first with these food pics🤣😜 An absolute staple and I cannot wait...

I was here this past weekend for a bachelorette party. We had about a dozen people in our group with only one server to our table, Lilly. She was amazing! All of our service was amazing that night. She was quick on her feet and if she was stressed out by our big group she did not let it show at all because she always had a smile on her face. After dinner the DJ had set up and by that time we were all a few drinks in and we're just kind of dancing in the restaurant area and they let us go into the back room because they had a cancellation. Lilly continued her great service by bringing us drinks and checking in on us often. The DJ had us all dancing our butts off and we had a great time.

I personally tasted the guacamole and chips, the streetcorn dip, and the grouper taco, and all were delicious. I found the drink prices to be expensive, however, I live in a small town where drinks are only around $5 so I just had a bit of sticker shock with the big city prices. 😂 My small town bars also don't do very many specialty drinks as most folks around here will stick to the basics of beer, rum and coke, etc. I stuck to the mojitos on this night and they were delicious. I can't get mojitos in my town because nobody carries the fresh mint.

All in all our experience here was excellent. We had a lot of fun, ate great food, drank good drinks, and had excellent service.

We did have a reservation, and I was running late so I'm unsure if our group had to wait for their table to be ready. However there were other tables available throughout the night so I don't think reservations are required but it might be a good idea if you have a big group like ours.

Oh and the lady sitting next to me was a vegetarian and she said that the cauliflower taco was very yummy but she said she didn't care for the avocado taco, I don't remember why but I do remember her saying that she is an extremely picky eater. I had avocado on my taco and it was yummy and fresh and the...

This place is about to blow up this Summer in MKE. We happened upon Electric Lime on Wednesday looking for tacos after a session at the climbing gym. Everything in walking distance was closed so we ventured to Cathedral Square to Electric Lime which apparently had just opened to the public the night before.

The decor, music, and presentation of the menus got us off to a great start and our server Sara answered all of our questions but also gave us time to breathe and go over our options. We didn't have cocktails but the drink menu was expansive and prices seemed reasonable for the place ($11-$15).

For food we ordered the Quesabirras ($17 Wednesday special) which were loaded with tender goat, melty cheese, sharp cilantro, and light but crispy tortillas. The dipping broth was slightly spicy and really took this dish up a notch. We also ordered elotero aka street corn ($9) with a side of chips and the shrimp cocktail ($17). The chips were clearly house made, light, and buttery like the tortillas and I was told by my dining partner the shrimp dish was excellent, fresh, and had an ample protein portion.

Partway through our meal an individual, Jess, who ended up being the owner came over and chatted with us about her inspiration for the restaurant, the story behind the kitchen staff, and the vibe she was going for. I could tell she has a passion for this business, and she will be rewarded for her hard work.

This place is definitely trendy and I will admit I felt underdressed having come from the gym but none of the interactions with the staff ever made me feel anything but comfortable and welcome.

We were told there is a stage in the back and there are plans to have live music. This place is going to kill it once the word gets out and they can open those patio doors to...
