Pricing is on the high side but quality is most certainly there. The food came out in a decent amount of time (given they were busy with Sunday funday/ other orders) my tropical burrito was very big and each bite was delicious. The shrimp was seasoned to perfection. My daughters devoured their steak tacos and getting 5 year olds to try new things and actual like it is a win in my book read more

Strolling around the MKE market for dinner, this place hit the spot. We were able to relax at the bar listening to good music and having great food. Chips and salsa paired with guacamole were a great starter. Food was pleasantly unique while also remaining authentic. Bartender was attentive and resonated a great cope to the rest of the customers. read more

Margarita Paradise - Pork Tamale - Mexican Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Used to love this place! Food is good, but I've never met a street taco that's worth $5.

This place is below O. After many times of giving them our business ...they continue to be extremely ignorant to business and how it works. This is the most unbelievable horrible service ever. I work in the service industry and these individuals are the bottom of the pit. How they continue to be in business is baffling. They are rude- they give you ugly faces and hiss at you- they pretend to not speak English OR Spanish LOL. On top of that their Margaritas are expensive- and they don't have the inventory claimed on the menu. In the past-- their margaritas were worth the buck --as of recent (in the last few times) their Tequila seems diluted- their margaritas taste like juice-- WHICH IF ANYONE KNOWS THE ART OF MARGARITAS IT IS THE OPPOSITE!!! For 3 Tamales and 2 Margaritas Top shelf $75 it's a joke. Sad part is WE LIKE TO SPEND MONEY ON GOOD MARGARITAS AND ALWAYS HAVE. Good luck to you guys! And I hope this business understands...many people know Spanish cuss words ...we know what you're saying about us!!! read more

I can only rate based on my 2 experiences stopping by to get a margarita while at the Milwaukee Public Market. I wanted a margarita - they have several flavors and willing to blend. Walk up service is quick. I purchased a margarita and received it rather quickly. However, my friend met up with me and I was at a stool and she was ignored forever.... as in 20+ minutes. It was not busy (off-peak hours, late afternoon on a weekday), and everyone one either side of us was served. It was really strange considering it wasn't until I spoke up that the employee came to take my friend's order. I like that they blend flavors, so I can get my absolute favorite Strawberry Banana marg, but I was not impressed by the service I saw others receive. 4 stars for the margarita, 1.5 stars for the service on both occasions. read more

Do I recommend this place... ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! 1- Does not know how to make a Margarita added MINERAL WATER WITH TEQUILA AND CALLED IT A SKINNY MARGARITA!! Charged me $16 for it and would not refund and or replace it and said there was nothing wrong with it. Then asked me how I would make a skinny margarita. I said Tequila, Lime juice and Agave. Then said she could add agave. The cup was a gigantic mineral water with tequila. She should be ashamed for charging me that. She said she could make one and that is what they made. 2- Charged me another $16 for a signature Margarita that was also AWFUL!! I absolutely was disgusted by their service and the food was not good either. I ordered the Tamales and they had no flavor just a large jalapeño inside and hardly any cheese inside. The breakfast version was just a fried egg on top of that already poor version of a tamale. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!! Lot's of food options and drink options available at the Public Market just not this place IMHO!!! Sorry no photo was so taken aback by the whole experience. My friends also tried it and was like what is this it's AWFUL!! So I take it back down to add Agave and she said we don't have any we only have orange liqueur. I don't think anything could get worse than this place!! read more

Amazing food, above & beyond service from the manager (Amir?). Margaritas were phenomenal as well. Highly recommend.

First time here. I ordered a Paloma and it came with a paste called Chamoy. I wasn't familiar. Bartender was an ass. Told me it's like asking what is an apple. If you do t know...look it up. I did. read more

We had breakfast here on a Sunday morning. Just a few bar seats so you may need to wait your turn. Worth it though. The eggs with carne asada chopped with peppers was super good. Great service too. Would go back. read more

Margarita Paradise was honestly a staple for my friend group when we went to college in this area. There's nothing like a Third Ward Margarita on the rocks after a refreshing walk. Now, I still like to stop by for a quick burrito and Corona before any concerts on Summerfest grounds. The Verde Burrito (Asada filling) was my personal favorite. The staff is always pretty short with customers, leaving no room for friendly banter, but hey they get the job done! Definitely recommend grabbing a margarita to go on a beautiful summer day in Milwaukee- you won't regret it. read more

Customer service at this bar was horrific. We walked out became the bald server / bartender was incredibly rude. He raised his voice at me saying that I didn't order a drink - insisting that he was "blessed" and "customer focused"'all the while denying our food requests. My sister and I felt targeted and were made to feel so uncomfortable that we left our food behind even though he yelled it was "on the house." I've never encountered such disrespect. Don't bother going. read more

Well the bartender was not happy that we were lingering at the EMPTY bar and commented that "we were pitching tents". Simply rude and uncalled for. We were 6 people ordered 4 drinks and 3 plates. Not bad for pre-lunch. The only redeeming factor was that the nachos were tasty. read more

I had the most amazingggggg hot horchata. Amil I believe is the owner who served me the entire time I ordered volcano nachos and a Al pastor taco which were delicious! He saw my nose dripping from the heat of the food I guess and he brought me out this horchata...THIS IS THE BEST HORCHATA IVE HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. If you don't get ANYTHING else please come to the market and try this...it's unreal. I asked him and he said his mother makes it and I promise you that's exactly what it taste like...like home. Highly recommend...come enjoy and be happy! read more

The Milwaukee Market has a whole wealth of food options, but this seemed like the right choice. Pull up a stool, order some chips and queso, and grab a specialty margarita. I know what you're thinking "I don't want to sit in the market for 30 minutes waiting.." well ya won't! Exceptionally quick and great service. The taco plate with chorizo checked every box. I give 5 stars out like your grandma giving candy out on Halloween but this one.. this one is special read more

Some like it hot I've been here a few times now and really should stop more often. Great tacos, burritos and they have some breakfast items too which are a must-have any time of the day.

If you love tequila, come here. If you know nothing about tequila, come here. Even if you don't like tequila, come here & get a tamale! After a long weekend in Milwaukee my guy & I decided to cap off the trip with whatever random foods we wanted from the City Market. We went for oysters initially but they weren't open yet. Margarita Paradise was though! What better way to cap off a long weekend than with margaritas at 10:30am on a Monday? Amil was amazing! We chatted about food, tamarind, what to look for in good tequila, growing our own grapes, more food, world travels & the hard work it takes to run a business. I'm a foodie & love cocktails so getting to drink a great drink while talking to someone passionate about the ingredients is one of my favorite things. I could have stayed there all day! Not only did we leave with a couple of tamales for the ride home, but I found a tequila to try & a new favorite place to stop when we're in Milwaukee. read more

I have NO IDEA why this place has 3 stars. The burrito I got was sooooooooo good. This place is in the public market, so it can get pretty busy. But we showed up after the lunch time rush and got a table at their bar right away. They have a TV and obviously margaritas haha. Service was fast and the staff was friendly. Their red hot sauce is amazing and I was straight up drinking it because I couldn't get enough. *Public Market validates 1 free hour of parking if you buy anything at the market! Make sure to tell the business you buy something from that you want to validate your parking and have the ticket with you :)* read more

This place doesn't take allergies seriously. When confronted about their mistake they laughed it off and didn't take it seriously. Told me to send them my hospital bill with a smug smile.

The latest in our Essential Worker Lunches was another hit with the whole team in the office. Everyone enjoyed their food, and I appreciated the convenient location--just a few block walk from the office--and that the walk-up window right on Water Street made it easy to get my food and go. The tacos, tamales, and fajitas were fresh and the portions were in line with the price paid for the items. Staff were friendly and accommodating, too! Some minor hiccups prevented this from being a 5 star experience (I really wanted to, and would go a solid 4.5 here): - The website was a bit troublesome. Sometimes the link to the online menu would work, other times it would not. - I provided the names for each order but none were identified as such. This is so key right now, no one wants someone else pawing around their lunch to see if it's theirs or not. - I ordered three chicken tamales, but received two chicken and one pork. Normally I wouldn't care, but the chicken were far superior in taste and flavor that I felt a bit robbed! Also, many people don't eat pork so that could have become a big issue and the carelessness is a bit concerning. read more

100/10 this place has the absolute best and I mean best jalapeño margarita I've ever had. I will be back and I will have another!! And another there is no doubt on that! Former bartender my self spits and wash were combined for a perfect flavor. Don't expect flaming hot heat here. It is jalapeño flavor not extreme heat just enough to know it's there. The jalapeño flavor is amazing!! At all costs order this can not rave about this any more I will be telling every one about it that's for sure!! read more

Hands down the best enchiladas I've found downtown. Packed with flavor, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. I always see the same people working, so my guess is it's family owned. Usually, we order custom - chicken enchiladas with pablano sauce (not on the menu) which comes with rice and beans... even the rice is off the hook! I haven't tried the margaritas, and I'm not a huge fan of the hustle and bustle inside the public market, but come during lunch on a weekday and it's not bad for casual dining. read more

Don't go here! Unbelievable!! I went to the bar to order drinks. I was standing at the corner of the bar next to the take out register but still AT the bar I stood there for over 15 minutes being ignored and watching the bartender help 3 other people that walked up and ordered drinks and left the bar (just like I wanted to do.) The bar wasn't even remotely full. When I finally got her attention she told me to order my drinks in the FOOD take out line that had 5 other people in it now. I'm clearly not going to spend any of my money there ever again and you shouldn't either. They've made it very apparent that they don't care about customers. read more

I have been to Margarita Paradise Mexican Restaurant a few times and ordered the burritos. They are very filling and a good portion! What I always return for are the nachos! For my birthday, all I wanted to try was three portions of their nachos and that's exactly what I did! My two best friends and I went to the public market and ordered the three nachos : 1) poblano nachos - they use their special sauce 2) tropical nachos - topped with pineapple salsa and mango salsa 3) spicy volcano nachos - very spicy! I highly recommend this place to anyone who likes Mexican food! The public market is also a great place to eat and try a variety of things! I have only had an issue with not having parking in the lot due to a busy time. Also, make sure to validate your parking! read more

I stopped by yesterday to grab a burrito to go and for the first time ever, had a horrible experience. So bad that I walked out. An shorter, older man in a turquoise polo shirt waited on me at the to-go counter. He was extremely rude, impatient and nasty acting. When I realized this was going south, I asked him if we could re-group, slow down and start over. He literally said "no, I had to take him as he was." I refused to pay money to be rushed, insulted and spoken to in a condescending manner. A young woman was sitting next to the spot I was in, and she asked me "are you going to take that? I wouldn't!" Being older myself I decided to set example and not take it. I walked out. This is not normal for them. I eat there twice a month. I will not eat there again if this person is still there. DONE! read more

As a California girl in Milwaukee, ask me what I miss the most. Authentic Mexican food! I've lived in the Third Ward for over a year and this past weekend was the first time that I've stopped by Margarita Paradise. Wow. Yes. Carnitas heaven. I love that they have traditional style tacos with just cilantro and onion (there are other topping choices too) and the chicken tamales were authentically delicious. I'm a sucker for a good carnitas and the tacos did not disappoint. We started with chips and guac and their mild salsa. The salsa was wonderful but I was disappointed with the salsa. It tasted like the premade stuff that you can buy and defrost from the grocery store. It was very smooth and had no chunks of avo which made it not taste fresh and house-made. Correct me if I'm wrong though! Geoff got a taco plate that came with rice and beans and I was surprised to see that the rice was white and not red/Mexican. The bite I had was yummy though. My only real complaint was the bar, actually. I typically love (and prefer) to sit at the bar, but this one has an obnoxious 6-inch lip that prevents you from pulling your plate close to you. Check out the picture I attached! It's more annoying than anything because you have to make it from the plate to your mouth without spilling anything on yourself! And I tend to be a messy eater.. But excellent food and extremely quick service. I'll be back! read more

The ambiance is great, since it is in a very popular area and venue. I did not try the food but based on the service I received just for drink, I would say the food won't be enjoyable. The reason why my experience was faulty is because the barmaid or young lady that attends the bar for food and drinks, is extremely rude. She asked a patron to leave for absolutely no reason after she had ordered her meal. With me, she simply did not ask how I wanted the drinks or what the options were since different places have different options. When I asked her about my drink on why it was served the way it was, she replied that I should've known to let her know that I wanted the drink with the spicy powder since they don't serve the margaritas with salt. WHAT? A margarita without salt is not a margarita. And if they want to serve it differently, they should let the patrons know beforehand. She also, walks around the bar trying to rush customers so she can get new ones. She pushes the bill even before the customers get the meal or drinks. In my opinion, don't go there. Although it is the only Mexican place at the Milwaukee Market, there are plenty of options all around. If you want a good Mexican restaurant, there are plenty of them all around Milwaukee. Any of these will have better service and drinks than Margarita-Paradise at the Milwaukee Market. read more

Amazing breakfast burrito for a beyond reasonable price . Staff cooked once ordered; one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had!

My first time in the Third Ward in a long time and while a couple of the places in the public market looked good and intriguing, I was needing some tacos. And a margarita. Pretty disappointed over all - the margarita was very, very sweet and was hard to drink. The carnitas taco had good flavor but unfortunately one of them was about half fat in the form of a large chunk. I believe a little attention to detail in the kitchen would have gone a long way. The remaining order was incorrect but tasted fine. There were limited menus around to look at while you waited in line to place your order so it's definitely a place where I'd recommend knowing what you want ahead of time. Next time I find myself downtown I'll go elsewhere; first impressions weren't super positive in general! There are other fun public markets in other large cities (Nashville comes to mind) and they are a big step above. read more

Margarita Paradise - Tacos (carnitas in the middle) - Mexican Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Located inside the hustling and busting MKE Public Market this is a great option for Mexican cuisine. The wait times can vary based on the day/time but I've always had my order ready within 5 minutes. I've only had their red enchiladas with barbacoa beef and they always leave me fully satisfied. The portion size is large enough for leftover. They are flavorful but not spicy, cheese and full loaded with meat. The ample bar seating if you want to eat there. NOTE: if you are ordering takeout make sure to stand to the left side of the bar for ordering or else you will not be assisted in a timely manner. The service could be better from one particular employee but other than that service is quick. read more
