If you are looking for authentic, reasonably priced Mexican food - this is the place for you! The location is small and has about 10 tables inside. It is also quite warm, but the kitchen is open to the dining area so that is to be expected. There is also patio seating available if you prefer to be outside however, it faces Grandview so traffic would be your view. We have been here a couple of times and we have never been disappointed with the food. As an added bonus, the breakfast items are available all day! We ordered the meat lovers skillet which was too much to finish even after not eating much all day and the steak chimichanga dinner which I could only eat half of. The food was flavorful and delicious. Our service was also great making sure our drinks were never empty and bringing chips and salsa refills when the basket was empty. read more

I do the try a new restaurant of the week and today was this place since I was in Waukesha. It's a Sam all place with a drive through on the side. The inside is weird because it's broken up into small rooms with big openings in the walls, weird. I was given chips and salsa to start. The chips were a third the size of regular chips and seasoned, finally a chip that fits into the small salsa bowl. The salsa was very loose but tasty. I ordered a strawberry margarita and the steak burrito dinner. The menu is big but no combination plates. The strawberry margarita was not big on strawberry favor but it wasn't weak like a lot of places. The steak burrito dinner looked good when all the colors. The steak burrito was tasty with seasoned steak but they do it differently here because it's filled with steak, green peppers and mozzarella cheese and topped with a green sauce with shredded mozzarella. The beans were good with a mixture of whole beans and blended beans. The Mexican rice is always plain so I mix the beans and salsa into them which makes them really good. Overall it's a decent Mexican restaurant and not as authentic as other places but I had a nice lunch and the place had every seat taken. read more

Good food and service. Excellent steak tacos and their Friday fish fry has large portions and great flavor.

My brother and I were itching for some Mexican food, did some internet searching and decided on this little spot!! The menu is far more expansive than the pictures I posted. The serve breakfast, lunch , dinner and more American favorites. Upon walking in, you can hear the kitchen all speaking in Spanish and a good chunk of the other customers were all speaking Spanish too. That's how you know it's good. If it is attended by the people who are behind the establishment. My brother enjoyed his enchiladas. That is his go to order to compare between places. My tactics were excellent. I had eaten previously, the atmosphere just sucked me in and I had to try things!! Such a welcoming and friendly staff. I try my best to speak Spanish, our waitress was very kind and slowed down her Spanish so I could better understand her. The food cane out in a timely manner and nice and hot. I only had two in the restaurant, a ground beff and my chorizo taco. A good kick to the chorizo taco. I appreciate that they doubled up on the soft corn tortillas, because sometimes they can fall apart a bit easier. I will stand by my vote if this place being very authentic and fresh. One of my favorite Mexican restaurants I personally have been to. I called my dad to fill him in and he has to try if he is ever around next time if he ever comes through. They have al pastor, so I know my mom would like it too! Great spot!!! read more

La Cabana - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

My granddaughter ordered the steak taco & she gave them 3 stars, I ordered the Chile Relleno which I gave 2 stars. Barely edible. The oil in the pan must not of been hot enough because the coating was saturated with oil. I ended up scrapping the batter off of one & didn't finish the other. Our waitress was pleasant, and we received good service but that is not enough to try the food again. read more

Our family wants to thank Max, Jasmine and everyone at LaCabana on 701 N. Grandview in Waukesha. They prepared and delivered amazing food for our son's funeral service this last Saturday. We received compliments from almost everyone that attended and shared La Cabana's info. Stop in and check out their delicious food! read more

Needed to grab a quick lunch during the basketball game break. Decided to try this spot. It's a smaller restaurant but they have pretty good food. They don't have certain liquors or beers which was a bummer. I couldn't get a margarita because they weren't equipped to make that, so I ended up getting a Michelada. It tasted really good and was made with the beer that I wanted - so cheers to that! The chips and salsa were fresh. They're reasonable on their prices and the service was great! I really enjoyed the steak on my torta, the rice, and beans. Next time we're out there I'd come back for some authentic Mexican food. read more

La Cabana - Steak torta - Mexican Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

Delicious food, friendly service, food arrived quickly. We will be back. It reminded me of my trip to Mexico.

WAITRESS WROTE IN AN UNAUTHORIZED 20% TIP ON MY CREDIT CARD SLIP! ***THIS IS ILLEGAL!*** I have been to this restaurant before ,but this time unfortunately I was not satisfied with the service and the food so I chose NOT to tip. I paid my bill and left. I looked at my credit card statement and saw that the waitress wrote in an UNAUTHORIZED TIP of 20%. I called the restaurant and explained the situation. The woman who answered the phone said her manager was busy and that the manager would call me back. I did not receive a phone from the manager. I am a manager myself and even if I was busy I would have got on the phone immediately to fix this situation since the employee broke the law and wrote in an unauthorized tip! I am reporting this to a higher authority because it is illegal behavior! Me and my husband used to like visiting this restaurant, but we will NOT be returning! read more

This is hands down our favorite place to eat. Their taco Monday special can't be beat and the service is excellent!!

Usually we will drive a ways for our Mexican dinner enjoyment. It was late and we didn't have much time so thought we'd give The Cabin a try. I'm glad we did. While I like a variety of foods, enchiladas are a favorite. These did not disappoint. The beans and rice were tasty and as an added surprise a side of chopped lettuce and peppers were included which went well with the enchiladas. Chips and pico de galo were included and several hot sauces were on the tables. My wife had a chimichanga which she said was a new favorite. The service was pleasant and the interior cozy and clean. As Arnold said, we'll be back. read more

What a treat! This one is worth getting off the highway and driving the few blocks south. The staff was super friendly. The place was clean and cozy. My food was fresh and full of flavor. The salsa and three different flavored of sauce the bring to the table is the perfect combination of an authentic Mexican meal. ..... next time in through on business I'll be back. ..... and I hear their breakfast is just as worthy as their dinner menu.

I ended up at this place the first time due to the taco shop down the street being out of business. I tried the chicken, pork with pineapple and full piece of steak taco (forgot the name). I went back the next day for more pork with pineapple. Some of the best pork tacos I've ever had. Service fast and friendly. Both times were take out. read more

I was looking for mexican food near pewaukee. I called and went thru drive up to pick up within 15 min. Very helpful and friendly service. Price was average compared to other places. I ordered pork nacho, pork enchiladas and chicken tacos. The food was average, the enchiladas were seasoned well but I am use to cheese in the meat not just a bit sprinkled on top, the nachos looked great but were more refried beans that pork so it was good but disappointing and the tacos were tasty but much smaller than other places. I would return but the food was average and you can find better in the quality and quantity at other restaurants. read more

Great service and excellent food! Love this place great breakfast also. Very authentic!

Been here several times fir breakfast and the food is excellent. The service is about as good as you will find anywhere. The menu is pretty big so be prepared to take a few minutes to look it all over. I am still trying different menu items and I have not been disappointed yet try the green and red sauce as well both are very good. read more

I would give this place zero stars if that was an option. Ate here based on the few reviews and to tell you the truth Taco Bell is better. I had the lunch taco special and the corn tortillas were stake but laden with grease and there was about a tablespoon on shredded chicken on each taco. The beans were runny and cold. It was so disgusting I left the food on my plate, paid and left. Never again! read more

This is 100% the best Mexican restaurant in Waukesha and I've been to basically all of them. Great prices, fast service, good food. The tacos are amazing - authentic! read more

My husband, son, and I stopped by for a quick lunch date and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant was clean, nicely decorated, and playing the World Cup semi-finals on their TV. The waitstaff was very friendly and quick. Most importantly, the food was hot and delicious! We will definitely be back to try the breakfast menu. read more

No idea why this place isn't packed all the time. Their food is great, prices are super cheap, and service is good. Great for any meal of the day too- they have a large breakfast menu too! read more

The staff the cooks the customers everything is great about this place. Very family friendly and such a diverse menu for a Mexican Restaurant. Their breakfast selections are OUTSTANDING.

I'm not sure why there isn't a line out the door. This is one of the top three Mexican restaurants in Waukesha. The pork tacos are the best. Portions large, prices are very reasonable. read more

Came in with family ordered red enchiladas worse tasting ever. The sauce was tomato paste. Rice was dry. They offered sour cream and extra salsa that never arrived. Told the waitress she asked if she wanted me to just throw it away of course. Waitress was nice. read more

Went to La Cabana based on a friend's recommendation. We were initially a little apprehensive due to the lack of yelp reviews, but WOW. I lived in central Mexico for years and haven't had tacos al pastor that were this good since then. My wife got the tacos al pastor, I had the alambre. Portion sizes were large and the quality of all the food was spectacular. Even the rice was delicious! Our waitress was kind and attentive. Will be returning to La Cabana again without question. read more

Grabbed 2 carry out dinners tonight. The Coronaviras shut down inside dining. They were very good.

If you want AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD, this is the place to go! It's ridiculous some of the reviews I have seen for this place. comparing TACO BELL to this???? NO WAY. If you want real, delicious MEXICAN food I recommend this 100%. No other place around here can compare. My family and I eat here at least 1 a week and they're prices are great! I kind of wish they were open later on weekends and had a bar .. it would be a hit! read more

Service was good, food was below average. Fatty and gristle steak entrees, anything fried has an odd flavor and greasy. Probably due to poor fryers or not at the proper temperature. Their pico/salsa is good but they serve with hard, dense chips...not crispy like you would expect. For better food I'd suggest driving a mile north up Grandview and get a decent meal for the money at Taco Amigo. read more

Cozy, locally-owned Mexican place. The menu has a high percent of American food mixed in with the Mexican dishes. We really enjoyed our dishes - the Alambre dinner and a quesadilla - and plan on going back. With a little more home-y ambiance, this could easily become my family's go-to Mexican restaurant in the Waukesha area. It is pretty bright in the restaurant. No booths, just tables, in the limited space they have. We were happy to find it to be very family-friendly. It is a relatively "young" restaurant having opened 6 months ago. Hopefully the locals will support this place and it will be given a chance to grow. read more

Cute little authentic place, unassuming but delicious! My husband loves his burrito, and my chilaquiles were wonderful! Good flavor, LARGE portions, and fair prices. All around good place! read more

Not at all the best Mexican restaurant in Waukesha. I've been to all of them. Be careful with the green sauce (tomatillo), which is standard with their dishes (tart and spicy/not tomato based). Pricier than comparable menu items elsewhere. Not as authentic as is claimed. read more

The most authentic and freshest Mexican food. They serve nothing generic or readymade rather they make it fresh and it is not like any other common American mex food but super authentic. Amazing staff and food. read more

This is surely an unfounded gem. Have been here few times for breakfast. Breakfast burritos are fab. Try the medium salsa. Also the rice and beans are excellent. Coffee is plentiful. Lots of "deal or free" days. Tuesday kids eat free. Other days taco specials. read more

We go here frequently for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Always great food with great service whether dining in or taking out. Super friendly and efficient staff as well. No loud music so you can actually have a conversation and its always clean, inviting environment. Would definitely recommend. read more
