Taqueria La Sierrita - Milwaukee

Taqueria La Sierrita has emerged as Milwaukee’s premier taco destination, earning recognition as “a taco connoisseur’s paradise” from local food critics. This authentic Mexican restaurant specializes in perfectly charred carne asada tacos featuring “the juiciest most flavorful steak tacos” with consistent quality that keeps customers returning weekly. La Sierrita’s signature verde sauce enhances every dish, while their three-tier salsa system ranges from mild tomatillo to fiery red with fried jalapeños that deliver serious heat. Beyond tacos, the restaurant serves exceptional birria (goat soup) with tender, boneless meat in richly burgundy broth, complemented by fresh lime, cilantro, and red onion. The menu features traditional specialties including suadero (soft beef cut), gorditas, huaraches, and weekend-only menudo and pozole. Located at 2689 S. 13th Street, this “little hill” (la sierrita) restaurant maintains authentic Mexican atmosphere with bright, juicy limes and traditional preparation methods. Despite operating both a brick-and-mortar location and food truck, La Sierrita consistently delivers authentic Milwaukee Mexican cuisine that rivals any major city’s offerings, making it essential dining for serious taco enthusiasts.
