One of my faves in Milwaukee. Stopped in for a lunch and ordered 3 tacos along with some rice and beans. It was absolutely delicious with the standout being the cecina taco. I also love the options that La Sierrita has for their protein options-for example, suadero. The menu is quite extensive so you would be hard pressed to not find something to your liking. Also, their homemade salsas are wonderful with the green being the standout. Love how the dining room is decorated-painted in a warm hue, there is both table as well as dining at the bar. Service was great. Just a stellar place. read more

Highly recommend this spot for a delicious meal. Taco plates have great flavor and nice portion sizes. Highly recommend the steak tacos with onion and cilantro with fresh squeezed lime. The Homemade salsas have nice heat and flavor too. Everything has been delicious at the brick and mortar. They have a food truck nearby too which also seems popular. Service was great and attentive. The ambiance is chill and friendly. read more

La Sierrita was a pleasant restaurant. People were nice, and the food was good. We had a Tostada, a Gordita, Flautas, and Chilaquiles with rice and beans. The verde sauce was my favorite, and it enhanced all the dishes. While I enjoyed La Sierrita, I thought the food at El Tlaxcalteca, El Tapatico, and Tavo's Signature was better. read more

Solid. Taqueria la Sierrita was on my bookmarks list for a while and we decided to give them a try. The inside is bright, basic and clean. There is a bar but it's really just beer, tequila and a few random other things. You can get margaritas of course - they're $4 but you get what you pay for. Food wise, they have all the staples. The mister went with a Milanesa dinner that he really liked (it looked amazing and was huge). I had the tacos dinner which was solid. My tacos were well filled but the meat (and the beans) really needed some seasoning. You'll get 3 housemade salasa - all very good (and mild/medium heat) but the creamy green was my favorite. Service - fast and friendly. Lots of families here too - appears to be a neighborhood favorite for good reason. read more

My son had the steak burrito and horchata and he said it was pretty good. Definitely going back again.

The food at Taqueria La Sierrita is really good! Everything is really good! Even the salsas! The gordita was by far the very best that I've ever had. Period. Hands down. The gordita was fresh, flavorful and had just the right amount of crispy texture where it should. The prices are very affordable here and food was ready quickly. There is a bar with a TV playing music videos, aqua frescas and friendly service. I can't wait to go back and try more delicious things! It's my new gem! I'm definitely getting another gordita! read more

WOW what a great lunch today and I just came across this place recently so it might be somewhat new with only two reviews. I'm so brainwashed with calling in for take out that I did that out of reflex and instantly ran in side to tell them that I want to dine in, actually sit down and be waited on and enjoy a meal on a plate again. The menu is surprisingly reasonable with all the regulars but I saw the #1 under the combination section and he'll yah. 1tostada, 1 cheese enchilada and one taco that comes with beans/rice and a salad. I had asada for my taco and al pastor for the tostada, the enchilada is cheese only. I was started with a foam cup of ice water and chips and salsa that came with three bottles of sauce, the creamy green was my favorite. The chips were fresh and crispy that came with a great chunky salsa that had some heat but in a small bowl and only enough for about 6 chips. WOW the plate came fast and it was beautiful looking with all the colors and a large plate of food. The beans were thick and seasoned nicely topped with shredded cheese. The rice was cooked perfect that was hiding under my tostada. The steak taco was my item to eat first and it was very good with seasoned moist steak topped with cilantro/onion on corn tortillas. The cheese enchilada was next and it had a generous amount of cheese in it and topped with cheese and very good. I tasted the steak and al pastor meats by them self and they were seasoned nicely and moist/tasty. I didn't get to the giant tostada because I was full from everything else. This totally satisfied my Mexican food crave and everything was delicious and seasoned with good flavors. This was the best Mexican plate that I have had in awhile now I thought. How could this place be so good and have only two reviews and no pictures of the food. read more

Taqueria La Sierrita - steak tacos, rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The fresh clean presence of this taqueria transforms this entire former corner's dens of iniquity into a community-enhancing bright spot. Amazing. I can't believe the transformation oF this property. The former tavern on this spot was a dark dirty place where any kind of trouble you might seek was readily available. Also closed is another shady bar across the street and two strip clubs a few doors south. While the area is still plagued with drugs and crime, I'm guessing by the presence of 3 large families dining in the restaurant that safety is no longer the huge issue it once was. So suburbanites, here's a chance to practice your parallel parking skills (or automated feature on your shiny SUV) and have an authentic south side Mexican food experience. Did I mention the waitress spoke perfect English? I'm here on a Sunday morning and it's packed out with lots of families. Chips arrived hot and fresh with 3 squeeze bOttles of sauce and a small dish of atomic looking salsa. The green crema is astounding with a tiny bite and fresh citrusy back. The smoky red sauce also rocked, and the green sauce appropriately spicy and fresh tasting. The salsa was deeply flavored and despite appearances, tummy friendly. My eggs with carne rocked. Rice was deeply flavored and fresh. Beans were gloriously smooth and rich. Fresh corn tortillas (can't tell if home made or not but taste great) and tender, slightly charred thin steak made for a great wrap for fresh over easy eggs. Dotted the plate with all sauces and added a little salt. Omg. Omg. Omg. Menu is big and filled with the real stuff. Bar is attractive and I'll come back to sample a margarita made with some of their top shelf. The owner and staff were totally on - servers everywhere, smiles, food came fast. Not sure if they accessed a priest or voodoo queen for exorcising this former property, but it's now a shining bright spot for the community. Gracias!!!! read more

Taqueria La Sierrita - Warm fresh chips and amazing salsas - Mexican Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

AMAZING!! I recently discovered this place because a coworker took me and I am sad I didn't know about this place earlier! They allow inside seating and carry out! My coworker recommended that I order the three tacos dinner, which comes with three tacos with your choice of meat, rice, beans, and salad! We also got coca colas, which are the OG and made with sugar cane! When we completed our order, the waitress brought fresh chips and three salsas to the table! The green jalapeño one is the best in my opinion! When the food came out, I was shook! It was such a large portion! Also the chips were instantly replenished when low! I liked all three of my tacos, and the chorizo taco was slightly oily, but this is definitely less oily in comparison to other restaurants! I would recommend all three tacos! Never had suadero before (not 100% sure what it is) but it's great! Parking is available on the side street facing Aldi! Take some time out of your day and come here! Great food and serv read more

The vibe and good were amazing!! We came from Nebraska to visit and the food was amazing. My daughter ordered tostadas and they were huge! I ordered the combination. 1 taco, 1 enchiladas and 1 tostada de ceviche! It was huge! It also came with rice and beans. We actually left another restaurant down the street to come here because of their service being so terrible. Our waitress was so amazing she was so nice she greeted us with a smile the place was so clean and so lively completely different from the place we had just left. The staff was working so well together! read more

Taqueria La Sierrita - Combination #1 - Mexican Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

As a native Texan, I am extremely picky about the Mexican food I eat! This is the only Mexican place I have been back in MKE to eat at multiple times. They have hand sanitizer available to use coming in and heading out of the restaurant. We have always gone after work around 5-6 pm and it's never crowded. The waitress there recognizes us. She is extremely nice and attentive, and allows me to work on my Spanish when ordering! The first time I came here, I ordered the taco plate, and although I change up the type of tacos, I only have ordered the taco plate each time I visit. These are authentic style mexican tacos with the option of adding onion and cilantro. All in all, I have tried the al pastor, asada, lingua, suadero, chorizo, pollo and picadillo tacos and they're all delicious! I'd recommend in particular, the al pastor and suadero tacos. The horchata is pretty good here as well. Hopefully the next time I visit (which will be soon), I'll try something else on the menu. read more

I've lived in Milwaukee my whole life and there are a lot of good Mexican restaurants but none of them compare to Taqueria La Sierrita! Best Mexican place in the city in my opinion. You can't go wrong ordering anything from here. My favorite dish is the Tampiquena. Must get there jalapeño crème salsa! read more

Wow.... another Mexican Restaurant on the Southside..... I know boring right? Couldn't be further from boring. After driving past for months waiting through the construction phase I finally saw the open sign and stopped in. The place is all new with a welcoming color scheme, full bar, plenty of space indoors as well as a small outdoor patio. I've had the breakfast twice now with other guests I was with having tacos and enchiladas..... everyone gave it a thumbs up. The outdoor patio looks like a nice place to have a margarita on a Friday evening so give it a go if anything for that. I'm happy to see some new construction in the area. Friendly staff and owner... he stopped by to check on our table. Only issue was the credit card machine was down but stuff like that happens. Welcome to the neighborhood!!!!!! read more

I was passing through town and I was so pleased to find this family run spot. I ordered a taco combo and another combo (#1), everything came hot, fresh and tasty. Large portions too at reasonable prices. I only wish I had asked for the avocado/creamy salsa verde. Looked amazing. They got to me quickly and I was ready to enjoy the meal by the lake. How lucky was I to come through and find Milwaukee's best Mexican food? Thank you for the delicious meal. read more

Had breakfast here and it was delicious! I had the chilaquiles with steak. I prefer the green salsa which was spicy where I needed a little sour cream, but dang, so tasty. Yeah, I have a embarrassing tolerance for spicy food. The food all around mixed very well and the staff was so friendly. The low prices and the big portions are just two more reasons why I will be back. read more

First off, we showed up unannounced at 11:30am on a Saturday morning 3/5/22, the place was 3/4 full. We were a group of 20 wanting lunch. Our waitress never missed a beat. She was excellent. The service amazing. More so, the food could not have been better. We ordered a variety of things, requested extra this, and that - this gal got it all right. Great food. A great place. The decor is 'diner style' and has an urban charm to it. We will be back. read more

Best Mexican food in Milwaukee area. Tastes fresh, flavorful, authentic. I can't wait to go back!

The pastor was very very good. Rice and beans were tasty too. Overall it was a satisfying lunch

Their rice is bomb! The food is great and the hot sauce is to die for. Definitely one of the best Mexican places in Milwaukee

If your looking for great Mexican food this is the place you'd want to go. La Sierrita is great they have great food and all of that. If you didn't know but the guy that cooks the food there actually is the brother of the owner of El Arandas, so If you like El Arandas I'm sure you'd like La Sierrita. They have outdoor tables if you'd like to eat outside and they have great service. read more

I've been traveling from state to state and so far tacos have a great taste. I definitely recommend trying this place
