I'm only in town for two nights for work and the hotel recommended El Beso Milwaukee. The food was delicious, I got the chicken enchilada with mole poblano. Definitely in the top three Mole I've ever had! I sat at the bar and the server (Sergio I believe) very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere and I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to go see the courtyard. Definitely would visit this restaurant again!!!

Chicken Nachos. Plate consisted of tortilla chips, black beans, Mexican street corn, lettuce, Mexican cheese, fresh Pico de gallo, cilantro, and sour cream. Portion size is enough for 1 adult but could easily be shared between 2 adults. The topping to chip ratio was very close. The price was very reasonable. Overall, this plate was delicious, and I would order it again.

I visited El Beso after seeing the pictures online of the waterfall and outdoor dining area since it seemed like a great place to have a drink on a nice day. Upon arriving I liked how large the restaurant is since many Mexican restaurants in the Milwaukee area are small with not much seating room. Are server was nice and greeted us right away but did seem hesitant when we asked to sit on the patio since it was a little chilly but we had the entire patio area to ourselves which was a great bonus and very different from anything I've seen with a very large waterfall with LARGE fish inside that swim right up to you so that alone made the trip worthwhile and the only reason for 4 stars is because while we only stopped there for drinks I did decide to get a cup of there pozole Verde soup which was good but very greasy and my girlfriend got the elote which she enjoyed but it was a little dry and her Pina colada was very weak and tasted like it had zero alcohol in it but aside from that we enjoyed our visit but with the food not being what we hoped and the drinks being weak this might be a place to visit just for the experience.

I love Mexican food and this spot definitely did it for me, the food was flavorful and portions were huge. The drinks were nice and strong. My server Valerie was warm and inviting, stop by this spot whenever you’re in Milwaukee, it about 5-10 minutes drive from the airport. It’s worth it.

Nice place to eat. Great margherita's! But 9.00 for a small glass Margherita is a bit expensive. Getting a 1/2 pitcher would've been cheaper!

Good food, well portioned, well priced. Erika was a great waitress. Even though she was busy, she still made time to check in on us. I love the atmosphere here. Definitely great for large groups but also comfortable enough to have a nice date.

A friend of mine had a birthday dinner at El Beso on Cinco Del Mayo. It was about a 1-1/2 hour wait. We waited and I’m glad we did. Our waiter was fantastic and friendly. The chips and salsa were very tasty. Everyone in our party had the chimichanga with refried beans and rice except the birthday girl. She had the taco salad. Everything was very good. We also had the Mexican corn which left a lot to be desired. It was very lukewarm and under seasoned. We had the rainbow margaritas which were delightful. The decor is very rich and festive. This is a very busy place, and I do understand why. . . El Beso has got it going on except for the corn. FIX THE CORN . . . FIX THE CORN!!! I will be back, but not for the corn . . . For real!

Stopped for lunch. Restaurant was super clean and colorful. Servers were very friendly and attentive. Food came out quick. I had the pork torta. Great Mexican sandwich with pork, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and jalapeno mayo. Really good soft bun.
