Business Summary what's this?
For three star Mexican, try La Fuente in Milwaukee. The menu is comprised of mexican standards. This place features outdoor dining. This restaurant is very affordable. This place is open late.
3.0 of 5 stars.
One of the best patios in the city. Food and service are acceptable. This is my outdoor Mexican restaurant until I find a better patio.

This place has the best margaritas and the food is pretty good. For hanging out with friends and getting drinks, this place is great. Only thing I don't like is that they don't accept reservations.

I like this place for the outdoor patio. Outside of that I don't visit in the Winter. I HATE the look inside this place. Dark, dank, and unappetizing.Food is OK. Drinks are the bomb!
