Meghan L / Yelp Hands down, this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Milwaukee. They have all the essentials: tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, and more. If you’re ordering take-out, it may be hard for them to hear you in the bustling restaurant, but the staff is always so nice about it. You can drown yourself in tasty all-authentic Mexican food any day of the week—except Tuesday’s, that’s the one day they’re closed. La Casa De Alberto Mexican Food is located at 624 W National Ave., Milwaukee.
- Cielito Lindo

Ally W. / Yelp
Tim K. / Yelp Here’s your next stop for Taco Tuesdays! Vagabond is a cool spot with even cooler decor, replicating a 50’s diner with a modern twist. Their food and drinks come in a wide variety of flavors, so you’ll always have something new to try. Vagabond is located at 1122 N Edison St., Milwaukee
- Mazorca Tacos
Rick R. / Yelp
Rick R. / Yelp This brand new taco truck in the Fifth Ward is to die for. They’re parked on the corner of 1st and Pittsburgh every day, and it’s always a good choice. This is because these are some of the best tacos you can find, and they hand craft the tortillas themselves. Make sure to bring some cash, as they don’t take cards. This stationary taco ’truck’ gets five stars from us.
