La Casa de Alberto — Restaurant in Milwaukee

If you are Mexican, might consider dining somewhere else. Really nice place with a big bar, they had multiple TV screenings, very clean and service was immediate. Staff is bilingual and courteous. Someone was celebrating their birthday and they dimmed the lights and served them a complementary dessert with candles and HBD song.

We were welcomed with very warm tortilla chips, 3 different salsas. Their red salsa tasted like pure ground pepper which took a strong grip on your taste buds, their green salsa did not have a kick, and their pico de gallo was barely making it. When we finished looking through the menu, we got offered drinks, they did not have Horchata right out the gate.

We ordered the steak tacos which were delicious, although the sazon was slightly off from authentic traditional tacos and could have cooked the meat slightly longer. Did not order anything else.

If you live in the Upper East Side or Downtown Area and do not wish to make the trip into the South Side, this is the place for you!

Update (Oct. 2024) Took some friends, and while we mostly enjoyed the food, they said the same thing we've been saying for awhile - why is everything so wet? Simple ground beef tacos shouldn't soak through the tortilla.

Update (Feb. 2024) Food is still decent, and a good value, but whatever you do, STAY AWAY FROM THE BURRITO - twice now, I've ordered this entrée, both times, asking for them to either cook it longer, or do something so it's not so watery. Both times, the burrito disintegrated in my hands (what's left, looks like human vomit)

Original review (Oct. 2023) Had an early dinner with family (4 of us) Service was spot-on, with meals served quickly. Drink (especially the specials) were excellent (and relatively inexpensive). Food was tasty with plentiful quantities. Atmosphere is kinda plain, but clean and...

My hispanic people, this is where you can find the mole you have been craving.

Spent around 20 bucks per dish and drink but the portions match the hefty price tag, you will leave fully satisfied and happy. Its a bar like atmosphere with latin music playing (think: corridos que tu papa escucha en su camino al trabajo, and paulina rubio). Staff is bilingual and very attentive to their regulars, bar seemed full. However, keep in mind it is very close quarters, can seat only about 5 families of 4 safely, whilst the solo visitors can be seated at the bar, only about 10 comfortably. So if you are afraid of covid, be mindful of the busier times.

I ordered another mole entree to go for a friends birthday, and they found the meal to be a delight, considering its hard to find good hispanic/latin food in...
