La Dama Mexican Kitchen - Milwaukee

First time at La Dama, but it's been on our list for a while. We have been trying to keep up with the many new restaurants that have opened in Milwaukee, and this has been one of the best, all around experiences! So glad that we stopped and will definately be back. Had a 6:00 reservation on a Saturday night. Got seated right away. We had a few choices, inside, outside or a little spot right at the end of the bar, which we took. Turned out to be a very good choice in seating. The bartender was our server, and he did an incredible job the entire night. (Thanks Aton) And we got a great view of the work in the micro-kitchen on the other side. All the staff were super friendly, helpful and efficient. We started with a couple of drinks, a Margarita and Old Fashioned. Each of them was a unique blend of ingredients with a seasoned salt along the rim. Also placed a order of their guacamole which was fresh, tastely and inventive. Who puts Pomegrate seeds in Guac! So unique and yummy! We order a combination of Tacos, Grilled Shrimp, and Octopus. Each of them was fresh, hot, flavorful, and inventive (there's that word again). It's a small place, with an even smaller kitchen. The entire staff was working hard to make and serve. You should plan according, and give yourself 1.5 hrs, so as to not feel rushed. We will definately be back, and maybe save room for dessert. And maybe try the beautiful outdoor patio too.

The flavors of everything we’ve tried have always been incredible. We enjoyed it all from the spiced sauces over the tacos, the pomegranate sweetened guacamole, and the different creamy moles. It’s just really good food.

Huge selection of AUTHENTIC Mexican Cuisine. Quesadilla de Flor de Calabaza! Blue corn tortilla, squash blossoms, panela cheese, grilled zucchini and tomatoes, salsa macha, oregano crema. Only available while it lasts, so don't delay! AND not to be forgotten $2 Oysters today and every Thursday! See you soon! La Dama is open Tuesday Saturday

My favorite for elevated authentic Mexican cuisine. Nice mix of menu items that are found at fine dining restaurants in Mexico City and Oaxaca. Very good cocktails served as well.

I was hosting friends from overseas and walked in for dinner one evening since we were nearby. The food was exceptional, the service was amazing, and we had a truly fabulous dining experience. We will definitely be back on our next trip to MIlwaukee. It's well worth seeking out.
