    Salsa Verse to go

    Great first visit to Al Pastor Mexican Restaurant in West Allis! One person was running both the dining room and the bar, and she absolutely crushed it--quick, friendly service. The complimentary chips came out warm with a trio of salsas, which were so good I ended up buying a container of the verde to take home. For our meal, we each had a trio of tacos with rice and beans. I tried the carnitas, the al pastor, and the campechanos--all with onions and cilantro. The al pastor was my favorite--perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. There was plenty of seating indoors, and everything was spotless. There's patio seating available, but it wasn't open due to limited staffing. No big deal--we're already planning to come back and try more of the menu!

    I'm quite picky about Mexican food but Al Pastor is easily my new favorite in Milwaukee. The raspberry marg was great - not too sweet. Chips and salsa (especially the green) were enjoyed. And then the birria dinner - wow. Service was quick, friendly, and even put the game on for us at the bar! I can't wait to come back in the summer and enjoy the patio!

    Outstanding. Honestly, that's the word. Like many I suppose, we're guilty of not venturing out from our tried and true favs very often. Because of that blind loyalty, it took us a little longer to get here than it should have. We finally made in today and holy man- it was...what's the word? Outstanding. The place was spotless. The service was impeccable and gracious. The food was killer. Since it was our first time in- we both went with the Pick 3 so we could try different things. Our meals included: chicken enchiladas, a chicken chimichanga, steak tacos, chorizo tacos, rice, beans and of course we started with chips, guacamole and margaritas. I'm not even sure if we can rank the food one over another as it was all sooo good. If I described each dish, I'd be writing for pages. All I can tell you is that Al Pastor is a must. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

    We came to pick up some dinner around 4pm. We saw a parking lot in the back, then walked in through the door in the back. I don't think they're used to customers walking in through the back, and everyone looked startled. As were we. lol. We apologized, but were quickly put at ease and told it's totally fine, and that's what doors are for! Everyone was super friendly, so it was a great beginning for the experience. We would normally call ahead to place our order when picking up, but we just swung in this time since we were in the neighborhood. We were craving some good Mexican food and fellow yelpers have given this place a raving review. There was no other customers in the restaurant yet, though a big family walked in while we were waiting for the food. The joint was clean, well organized, and sectioned off so there is plenty of space between tables. I wanted their beef milaneza dinner, but they're not making those anymore - only chicken. Steak Fajitas - hubby ordered this. I would never order fajitas to go. It comes with the whole sizzling experience when eating at the restaurant. I think it would have been great at the restaurant, but by the time we got home, we felt the meat was overdone, and just not the same. Entree Sampler: - Taco with Pastor. There's a reason this place is called "Al Pastor" guys! Get the pastor meat! Absolutely fantastic! - flauta with capechanos. This was my least favorite. It's like a rolled up taco that's deep fried. I think the flavors kicking from the taco and the mole from the enchilada really masked the capechanos. not wowed. - enchilada with mole. Their mole sauce is really, really good. They put this one in a separate container for me, and drenched it with mole sauce. Thank you! Horchata - just what you need on a hot summer day! But it was very cold inside the restaurant (I was standing right under the AC, and wearing thin clothes since it was 80F outside. Probably not that cold in reality). The server asked me whether I wanted ice in the horchata before serving, and I was thankful for that. All the smells of an authentic Mexican feast were teasing us throughout our 15 minute drive home. Pleasant ordering/pick-up experience added stars to the meal.

    We came here for lunch w a group of 7. Very close to the VA Hospital. Ordered tacos enchilada and a burrito. Everyone was very pleased and it was very affordable.

I haven't been here in years and forgot how great this place is for bar food. This is one of my favorite fish fries in the city because it's hand breaded with a flavorful coating with flaky hot fish. The coleslaw is perfect because it's very fine with a celery seed. The rye bread is fresh and not dried out. My best advice is to get the breaded mushrooms. They are some of the best I've ever eaten because again they are hand breaded. On Fridays you must get free fresh cake again homemade not bought. We tried three of the desserts and they didn't disappoint. Drinks are a strong pour and if you're lucky the owners wife will serve you because she's awesome. Get your bootie to Stallis for some of the best bar food around. BTW their French dip was also really tasty.

    Studz Pub is our kind of neighborhood spot. It's your classic dive bar vibe, but that's part of the…read morecharm. The owner, Dean, always takes time to talk with us, which makes you feel genuinely welcome every visit. The food is better than you'd expect for a dive bar--we especially love their pizza (sausage, mushroom, and onion is our go-to). This last time we received free dessert too, bonus! They do a solid fish fry every Friday too--definitely worth stopping in for if you're local. If you're looking for a laid-back, friendly place with good food and great conversation, this is a great neighborhood find.

    Pretty impressed by this place! It's a very unassuming location outside, but once you go inside,…read morethe vibes are immaculate. I love all the air plants they have and the dark interior really does make it more of a "classy dive" as their name suggests. We came here for a Sunday lunch and to catch the Brewers game. They had a three dollar special on domestics when we went, which was cool. Our server was nice and our orders came out promptly. The food was absolutely delicious. I was blown away by it actually. When I go to dive bars, I don't have the highest expectations for the food because usually the food is mediocre. However, at this bar, it really blew me away. I had the ODB smashburger with regular fries. The burger was juicy and flavorful with such a fluffy, soft bun. I love that they put crispy onion straws in it for a little crunch. The fries are steak fries. They had some beer batter type of coating that made them so crispy and yummy. I'm glad I stumbled upon this place. I look forward to coming back to catch another game and eat their delicious food!

    This fun place was hopping on Tuesday night. We sat out on the patio which was very pleasant. Our…read moreserver was wonderful and the food was great! The Burrata was huge and very delicious. I ended up sharing it with my husband. Wings were a little small but the flavors of the rub made up for that. My husband enjoyed his flatbread. We will be back!
