Momo Mee also features a diverse mix of Asian food, including Cantonese clay pot dishes. Be sure to stop here next time you find yourself in the Walker’s Point neighborhood!

Mr. Senor’s

The outside of the building says, “Good Mexican Food” and that’s probably an understatement. It should say, “The BEST Mexican food in Milwaukee.” One of Milwaukee food’s hidden gems, Mr. Senor’s, is a walk-up Mexican restaurant with a simple and satisfying menu. Go here hungry as the portion sizes will leave you with ample leftovers, and the nachos are so good, they have been rumored to make some cry tears of joy. Check out Mr. Senor’s and say hello to Dude, the owner, and man behind Milwaukee’s best Mexican food. Located on Murray Ave and open late, be sure to stop here if you are having a night out and want some of the best Mexican food you will ever eat.

Beans and Barley

For vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, Beans & Barley features healthy homemade food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What began in 1973 as a small health food store, Beans & Barley, has grown into an essential East Side eatery. Come for a healthy meal and take home some delicious food from the deli and market at 1901 E North Ave.

Mader’s

What Milwaukee restaurant has served Ronald Reagan, John f. Kennedy, Frank Sinatra, Laurel and Hardy, Kanye West, Audrey Hepburn, and Vince Lombardi? Mader’s, of course. Founded in 1902, Mader’s has been serving authentic German cuisine since before the Model-T was invented or the Wright Brothers first took flight. Right across from the Fiserv Forum in the heart of Milwaukee, see for yourself why Mader’s is Milwaukee’s oldest and arguably most famous restaurant.
