Great food, great people, great prices - enough said! I live in Los Angeles and I come every single time i am in town and it's seriously the best Mexican food I have ever had in my life! read more

We recently tried for first time-difficult as still mourning the loss of kitty corner and long-time favorite, Samanos. Lala's chimis were tiny but i was glad to try 3 different kinds in 1 set. Ground beef was great standard but the pastor, the best and even over the steak, imho. My guest was there for steak tacos and chili rellenos. We left without the rellenos ordered, not felt particularly welcomed and she was tepid on the steak too. Will go back for myself but not with guests. read more

The customer service was terrible. Will not go back! I was one person waiting to be seated when they seated TWO couples before me. When I complained they said they thought I was waiting for carryout. Apparently they didn't want me to eat there! read more

Truly delicious and authentic Mexican food. One of the few Mexican restaurants in or around Milwaukee that you can find with food that is both authentic and still tasty. read more

The BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD! I recommend this restaurant to everyone and have never had bad food or service here. Lala is the nicest host and thee best cook. I always crave this food. read more

Can LaLa be my Abuela?? For Cudahy, this might be 6 stars!! Glad I was finally able to convince my coworkers to venture into the 53110. All went back to the office and make cracks about needing a siesta. We ordered a variety of entrees with chicken or ground beef. The consensus was that we all should have ordered chicken. The beef was a bit under seasoned but that minor flaw was overcompensated by LaLa's sugar-sweet personality. Everyone is treated as family; there were hugs and kisses for some patrons and everyone is addressed as "Sweetie" or "Honey Bunny". How adorable. If you think Samano's is "the" place for Mexican in Cudahy, you are wrong. This is it. If your lucky, you might even be offered a complimentary shot of Toquilla. read more

Sweetie...honey...sweetie..LaLa's sure makes you feel like you are down south with all of the sugary greetings but trust me she does adore people so this makes LaLa's even more special. Like a sitcom, LaLa's and La Casa De Alberto are now better spin-offs from Conejito's....there are no paper plates here! LaLa's starts off with a basket of chips and two salsas...the pico is actually spicier than the green salsa but both have good flavor. I read other reviews about them "recycling" chips but I didn't seem to notice any stale chips. The chips were your typical fare and were fresh. Our server was extremely attentive and told us her favorite was the al pastor followed by the steak. I tried two al pastor tacos and one steak with cilantro and onions on a corn tortilla. The al pastor was probably one of my favorites because it wasn't too spicy or tangy...just right. The steak stood up to the test and was not tough and it had the right amount of seasoning. The rice had a slight acidic taste as if there was residual citrus that was put in it. It was okay but nothing that was extraordinary. The beans were above average but to be fair they do not compare to the "lardy" goodness of Conejito's. Three soft shell tacos with rice and beans will run you around $7.75 which isn't bad compared to other places plus the quality is MUCH better. A small margarita on the rocks is $3.50 but it is muy pequeno and doesn't wallop a huge punch. I would look for other margarita options next time vs. the $3.50 deal. If you are on da South Side of town, LaLa's is a definite must try. The menu isn't large but the love from LaLa is huge! read more

Thankful for a coworker who steered me to LaLa's Place. What a gem! Go, order great quality and affordable food in a family friendly environment. read more

Glad we tried this place out, (despite all the negative reviews) because it was so worth it and now we have found a good Mexican place close to home. Paloma's and beer are $4 and margaritas $3.50. I ordered a burrito special that had avocado, cilantro, and a pork/steak mix. My BF got the combo #2, which was a cheese and onion enchilada verde, a chicken mini chimi, and a tostada. Both came with rice and beans, all for $18.95! If you like a lil extra heat, ask for the hot sauce because they make their own and it's fantastic! read more

Lalas Place - Complimentary tequila shots for first time visitors! Very nice touch. This place is very friendly and the food is delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Cudahy, Wisconsin

LaLa's is such a wonderful experience every time I go! The food is amazing, as well as inexpensive, and the service is friendly and attentive. The Pastor Chimichanga, and the combination plates are my go-tos. Horchata and 3.50 margaritas are hard to beat as well. I've been in a handful of times and whether it's jam packed or dead, the experience is always awesome! I'd give LaLa's 500 stars if I could. read more

I love this place and brought my girlfriend here for lunch today. We both know Lala from Conejito's and were happy to see her today. She greets you like you are family. The plates here are huge! I couldn't even finish my enchilada. I had the number one combo which also came with a taco and a tostada. We also ordered the fresh, not runny, guac and the bean dip served in a soup bowl with queso fresco. The plates are very inexpensive and the food is delicious! I also had a plain margarita on the rocks to go with my lunch. I think I converted my friend. This will be our new hang out. The prices are low and the food is the same or if not better as Conejtos. And it's closer to me to boot. It's right across from Patrick Cudahy. Give this place a try. read more

I love Lala's. The owner is amazing! (she's known me since I was a baby so I have a bit of bias but whatever). The food is good, it's not the BEST I've ever had but it's still pretty good! Their hours are kind of tight in my opinion unfortunately. You should totally come here regardless! read more

Lala is extremely rude. The food is good, nothing mind blowing but wow she has an attitude. She was impatient, kept speaking over us while ordering, rolled her eyes multiple times and kept huffing at us. As a the main face of this restaurant I did not expect that from her... read more

The GO TO Mexican good place in and around Cudahy! The staff is super friendly. Lala's Special Burrito is AMAZING and their pico is the best around! read more

If you love the small homey and cozy feeling of eating dinner at a friends house, LaLa's place is amazing for that. The food is good, excellent margaritas, and LaLa herself will come and chit chat when she's not running food out to the tables. Definitely one of my favorite Mexican food places. Small parking lot, but there is street parking as well. So many restaurants have forgotten to really put their own personal touch on their establishment. LaLa has pictures all over of her favorite football player, family, and friends. Just try it, you won't regret it!! read more

Lala (the owner) is EXTREMELY rude, and many of the other reviewers witnessed her reserving food that was served to previous customers, so disgusting!!!!! This is absolutely the worst dining experience that I have ever had, and will never go back, beware!!!!! read more

Best tacos in Cudahy, hands down. Greeted with "Hey Sweetie" and a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Came by for lunch. Would definitely come back. read more

If you think someone's not of age ask for an ID!! Just saying! That is a part of your job! Treated poorly over this issue, not sure if I will return or not. Could have been an off night. Was there with the family. read more

Very good food across the board. Quick and very friendly service. Generous portions. This is a classic Mexican restaurant, family run, neighborly atmosphere. I am most impressed with the speed of their service. I don't know how they do it. It's at the top of my list when I'm in a hurry but want to sit down for a meal. read more

Love the Chiles Rellenos with cheese!! If your not familiar with this dish, Lala is the place to try them!! Basically poblano peppers, stuffed with your choice, breaded and fried, swimming in a spicy but not hot salsa!! We traditionally eat these during lent. Best meatless dish during lent! Best in Milwaukee hands down. Taste authentic and the service is quick but maybe she could use extra help sometimes. Very busy, great food and great location. Thanks Lala read more

It's all about the chicken mole with corn tortillas for me CAN NOT GET ENOUGH! Lala's makes it the best, rich dark sauce with excellent flavor I also enjoy the cheese and onion enchiladas, Mexican plate lunch with chunky beef and the super fresh salsa and chips The margaritas also never disappoint The owner treats you like family Don't miss out on this Cudahy gem read more

I sometimes like to see if I can find a dive Mexican place that I really enjoy. 9 of 10 fail. I stopped at LaLa's on the way to Layton Fruit Market. I decided to review this place because I do not want to only review the best and worst of everything. Here is what I liked... the prices, and the portion sizes. Sometimes I think that why people come to these places. The passed with flying colors in that department. I ordered a regular sized Burrito Suizo and could hardly finish it. It was exactly what I expected. Much like to ones from Conejito's or Jaliscos. They had a large sized and that would only be necessary if you have an appetite like Cookie Monster from the hit PBS show Sesame Street. LaLa was there and she is certainly a peach of a gal. She was very friendly and new many of the patrons. Wonderful . My chips were stale. The tacos were served with two shells so I got a burrito. Salsa- nothing special. Décor was loaded with flags. Nothing I felt offended by. But you probably would have a hard time offending me with your décor. I thought they had a curiously interesting amount of Brett Favre memorabilia. I am indifferent to Mr. Favre at this point in my life. He brought me a lot of great memories, but paying for the Viqueens is unforgiveable. Now you might say to yourself... "Well Joe K., how do you feel about another #4, Paul Molitor? " I would say. "I have no beef and wish him the best." I guess I have the same feeling for Mr. Favre right now. As I get older I have realized how forgiving is easier that holding a grudge. In conclusion to this 5 paragraph essay I will review these few things. First, it is kinda what you would expect it to be. Fair prices, decent prices, mediocre food, average décor. The owner is a very nice lady and if you wanna support someone nice, stop in. And lastly, everyone will do something great and not-so-great in their life. You can spend all you energy bringing people down, of just carry on. I would like to choose the latter. I wish the media would do the same sometimes. read more

This is BY FAR my favorite Mexican restaurant. I have never been to another establishment that sells Mexican cuisine that has rivaled La La. The food is great, service is always excellent, and La La herself is amazing. This small business is definitely worth every penny and second spent. 10/10 could not say enough good things. read more

This is a cute little taqueria. This restaurant has the typical Mexican restaurant selections: tacos, quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas, etc. I had the taco dinner, which has 3 tacos, rice and beans. The prices felt a little high, but still in the reasonable price range. The restaurant has ties to Conejito's place, so you know what to expect if you know Conejito's. Have a Corona or a Margarita and enjoy a good plate of food and you'll leave happy. I was not jumping up and down at any point during the experience, but it was all pretty good. read more

I would not have guessed the people running this place had anything to do with Conejito's. Conejito's never impressed me, much. This place does. Cheap Mexican eats in a very casual bar. No pretention, just good food. First, the chips and salsa. Wow! A place that has a salsa with some kick. That's a bonus! I had the chicken mole. They managed to pull it off without getting that acrid, overworked, slightly burnt flavor that many moles in Wisconsin suffer from. That enough won me over. And the server my friends and had was super nice, too! A+ read more

About the only thing that was good were the margaritas. The chips were stale and there was some brownish green salsa/ sauce that I'm not really sure what it was supposed to be. The standard salsa wasn't bad, and it did come in handy later in the service. Mexican cuisine is supposed to be full of different spices and an explosion of flavor; neither of which happened with this meal. We had the chicken chimichanga's with rice and beans. I didn't know you could make chicken bland, but they did. I wouldn't be surprised to find they boiled the chicken to rob it of its flavor, wrapped it up and dunked it in the deep fryer. That salsa I mentioned, I ended up dumping that over my chimi's to provide some semblance of flavor. They forgot to add the Spanish to the rice as, quite honestly, it looked like food coloring was simply added to change white rice to a pale yellow. The beans...as unimpressive as the service. We sat drinking the melting ice from the aforementioned only bright spot, the margaritas. In short, we could have gone to Taco Bell and had more flavor. The Milwaukee area is awash in excellent Mexican restaurants and how this place will survive with that competition is beyond me. read more

Wow! Where to begin! We love Lala's Place! We moved a block away from Lala's about 8 months ago and we've have dined here approximately 10-15 times since. Every experience we've had is just amazing! The staff works together to make sure you receive the best service possible and their food is always fresh and delicious. From fun traditions to generous service Lala, the owner, always makes your visit one to remember! I highly recommend this establishment! read more

Going to Lala's is always a pleasure, and I have never had a bad meal there. Great food, amazing Margarita's and very reasonable prices. I have gone there at least once a week for a year or so, and I have never had a bad experiance. I have to say the pork plate lunch is my all time favorite! read more

This place has awesome food, great prices, and a dedicated staff. Lala is awesome and her restaurant is as well. Eat there at least once a week, never had a bad experience. read more

First, to address some of the negative comments here. Frequent customers, we have never been charged extra for salsa or for taking leftovers with us. The guac is always super fresh. We've seen no evidence of chip or salsa "recycling." LaLa and her staff are always friendly and attentive, and the service is fast and excellent. While it's not a huge menu, it has all the basics, and the food is excellent -- very home style. The enchiladas verdes is my favorite -- incredible. I've tried most of the other entrees and never had a bad meal. The salsas (at least 2 varieties, with a third extra spicy option available on request) are very tasty and served in generous portions. The decor/atmosphere is comfortable and unpretentious. The prices are very reasonable. But perhaps the best thing about LaLa's is LaLa herself -- stop by for a meal and you will quickly understand why! read more

Charges $1 for every drink refill , as well refilling your chips.. They don't tell you about these things on arrival, but they do warn you before you ask for more.. Plan on spending an extra $2-$3 extra per person because of refills.. Food was pretty good! The chimichangas are really dry. The chicken enchiladas are very good!! read more

Fave Mexican restaurant in the 414. LaLa is a treasure, the place is big and comfy and friendly and essentially a shrine to the Packers, and the food is always consistently excellent. We typically go the enchiladas and/or burritos route. We live out in Brooklyn now, but we lived in Cudahy near the lake for awhile, and LaLa's was our reliable go-to for Mexican. read more

This place is the best because of these things: Lala.. The sweetest! The salsa The margaritas The fajitas The Al pastor It's worth the drive from the city. I believe it's the best in the city. read more

We've been here twice now and equally impressed both times! Great service, food comes out fast and some of the best Mexican food we've had in the MKE area! Highly recommended!! read more

My girl and I used to LOVE LaLa's, but we don't love the fact they "recycle" the salsa. We heard a rumor about it, so decided to watch for it ourselves the last time we ate there. It didn't take long for the rumor to become truth, sadly - A bowl of salsa that was partially used by the people at the table in front of us was picked up (by LaLa herself) after they left and placed near the kitchen window where it was "topped" off (by a male member of the staff) and then given (by LaLa again) to some new arrivals. We found this disappointing and disgusting and will never eat there again. read more

Quick and friendly service! Tequila shots for dessert! But, the real star of my experience there was the shell for my hard shell taco! Heavenly and that shell alone will have me going back again! read more

The food was just fine. Overall it was lacking flavor. The service was horrendous. We waited for probably 20 minutes after asking for more chips. We finally just got up and got our own. Other people were doing the same. Every time we asked for something we waited for quite some time. They were busy but this was just poor service. read more
