BelAir Cantina on North Water Street continues to be one of Milwaukee’s most recognizable spots for casual Mexican inspired dining. Our visit this past Sunday around 6:45 p.m. was a reminder of why this place stays on the radar for both locals and visitors. From the staff to the atmosphere to the food itself, the experience was well rounded and thoughtfully put together.

Usually love this place for an easy and fast dinner. Went to the water street location tonight and our server, Cherisse, was not great. We waited a little over an hour for food. She repeatedly apologized for the slow service yet nothing was ever done to help. For example, I had ordered plantains yet wasn’t given them when we received our food, I mentioned it to her and she said oh I don’t think we have any cooked. She came back again and said they don’t have any prepared?!...
