    I came here on a Saturday at 4:30pm and this placed was surprisingly busy. There were only a couple tables available but our party of 6 was seated right away. It was a warm day outside but the restaurant did not have the air conditioning on. It heated up fairly quickly inside. Service was prompt and straight to the point. Our table got complimentary chips, salsa, and ceviche. I did wish they would have brought 2 baskets of chips out. The menu is large and there was a great mix of meat and seafood. What really caught my eye was the Parillada Mariscos $29.95 that serves two. A seafood Parillada? Sold. This came with different sized shrimp, crab, imitation crab, octopus, clams, mussels, squid, quesadilla, peppers, green onions, and tortillas. It also came with two plates of rice, beans, and guacamole. There was plenty of flavor in the sauce and I didn't feel the need to squeeze lime all over it. We also got 3 tacos (chorizo $1.75, lengua $2, tripa $2). The tripa was my favorite of the 3 as it tasted meaty and fatty with just a little crispy sear. We shared this among 3 people and still took home leftovers. The portions are very generous besides the tacos as they were the traditional serving size. The rest of our table really enjoyed their entrees as well. If you're craving mexican but want the option of seafood, El Tsunami is your spot! I'll be back soon to explore more of the menu.

    Horrible seafood. Went there. Paid over 80 dollars for 2 meals. And it was definitely not fresh. Tasted bad. Not worth the money.

    YUM! Cafe Corazon has mastered the large portions and perfectly seasoned food. Our three tacos for…read morethe taco truck dinner ($14) were chicken, chorizo and carnitas with the chorizo standing out amongst the three with better seasoning. The guacamole had a strong citrus flavor which I am a fan of and the salsa was complimentary! I would HIGHLY recommend the best burrito ($15) as they did not skimp on any ingredient, especially the flavorful pork pibil. My only qualm was that the rice was undercooked and slightly crunchy, but otherwise an affordable and tasty restaurant for a date night. The staff were friendly, service was fast (less than 10min to receive food after ordering) and the restaurant had bright and colorful furniture and decor which were true to theme.

    The first time I had Cafe Corazon was in December 2011, with a friend. It was chaotic inside, but…read morethe food was great. I loved the variety of the menu, especially the vegetarian options, which are hard to come by in a lot of Mexican restaurants. In the past few years since I've moved back to Milwaukee, I've eaten at this location several times. It's about 6 blocks from my house and I still find veggie Mexican options to be rarer than I'd like. Generally the food is good, if no longer great. I wonder if their expansion and success has spread them thin over the years. Sometimes the service is good, sometimes it's like an afterthought. I've also ordered delivery from them many times and it's been generally fine, but not often great. Tonight I ordered delivery, paid extra for expedited service, and I really just wanted some good cheese and onion enchiladas. The delivery time was quick. Despite that, my food was cold. My black beans - literally cold. The cheese enchiladas - um, the cheese on top wasn't even melted. The rice had no flavor at all, like it could have literally been plain white, tepid rice. So I don't know what is going on at Cafe Corazon, but it's just not good anymore and that makes me really sad.

    It's Saturday and I'm thinking......Don Lucho!!!!!…read more The team has been up since late night roasting and boiling and creating the most amazing carnitas you will find in Milwaukee. Get here early - parking sucks, and suburbanites will freak out at the hood, but no worries Jesus is right next door at St. Josaphats basilica and will watch over you. And don't forget to take a tour of one of this country's most beautiful cathedrals. Right there by Don Luchos. You can eat here. Lots of long communal tables so don't be shy. Prices aren't cheap but this is quality. I usually get a pound or so of carnitas. They measure it out, it's steaming, and ask if you want it chopped. I say yes. It's wrapped up tightly and it will feed you all weekend. This meat is freaking amazing!!!! I pray they haven't run out of homemade tortillas, but like I said, you gotta come EARLY. Sigh. There's about 6 different amazing salsas to try. Smoky, fresh, green, red, hot sweet - I get two for the weekend. I consider a quart of menudo. I think about. Lamb, goat, barbacoa, chorizo - but I have enough. Too hungry to wait to go home, I sit down to eat. Two tacos - huge! The best was the barbacoa - tasty little carmelized deeply flavored meat bits. Hey - don't go expecting American extras like sour cream or cheese. This is the real thing. Warming: one taco will do you. Got a side of rice and beans - yum. Don Lucho is a treasure. It is authentic, mom and pop, and these are the businesses I love to support. For an incredible adventure and source of authentic carnitas, git yourself down to da south side ya day hair and ENJOY!!!!!!

    Great place, take a seat and the waitress will bring you a menu, order some meat and horchata, and…read morethen eat some delicious tacos.
