La Dama Mexican Kitchen & Bar

This cozy restaurant in Milwaukee is a very pleasant and interesting discovery!
A couple of friends invited us there and everything was absolutely perfect: food, drinks, service and price.
I highly recommend it.
Thank you all!
May life be beautiful to you, Mr Eman Korona, please continue to surprise our taste buds and our hearts.
Colette.

The grilled oysters we had for starters were excellent. I'm not a huge fan of cooked oysters usually, but these were just dynamite. We had a sweet corn endive salad which was great, and then the tacos. The tacos were fantastic. The corn tortillas were somehow strong but not overbearing and they were filled to perfection with some really unique and complex flavors that worked! Overall a great experience and they squeezed us in last minute as well!

Really loved this place. My mother loves Mexican food and we go somewhere for it every year around Milwaukee. I feel like the meal we had last night was the best ever purely from the creativity/quality/execution of the food. All other aspects of the meal were perfect for us as well. Much thanks to the staff and management/ownership. I believe we will be back next year!

Vegetarian options: There are some fantastic vegetarian options on the menu. I will add that they are not big in to letting people customize things so if you have allergies or specific dietary requirements, you may want to look elsewhere. But if you are an omnivore or vegetarian, definitely go here. Oh also, I do believe a lot of dishes were gluten free simply by coincidence.

Dietary restrictions: See my comments regarding vegetarian dishes.

Kid-friendliness: Not really the place for very young children but my 12 year old daughter was very pleased.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure about this one, the front entrance is stairs and it is a very cozy space, might not be the best for people in a wheelchair but it's worth giving them a call to ask.

Buzzy, intimate dining room adjacent to the open concept kitchen. Great date spot.

Favorite bite was the vegetable tlayuda. Rich flavors, complex textures on top of a perfectly crunchy tortilla.

We had a great experience at La Dama on Friday evening! It was our first time dining there, so we weren’t sure what to expect, but the service was EXCELLENT - Carmen was incredibly kind, warm, attentive and helpful. Every dish we had was delicious and unique. Highly recommend the vegetable tlayuda, octopus tostada, and the salmon. The salmon was perhaps the best cooked restaurant salmon I’ve ever had; tender, moist, and flavorful. All of the flavors were so complex but balanced! Cannot say enough good things about La Dama - we will be back!!!

This was my first time at La Dama and it was excellent!! Delicious, intentionally crafted food with interesting and balanced flavors. As a pescatarian, I especially loved the vegetable tlayuda and tostada de pulpo. Great service and casual, fun environment.

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.

Parking: Took a couple trips around the block to find a spot.
