⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Leah Shook
I have been searching for a Mexican food restaurant like this since moving to Wisconsin four years ago, and finally found an authentic restaurant with great service.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Shawn V
Had a great lunch at Lala’s Place. Great food and atmosphere. Margaritas were good!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Tom Williams
Hands down, the best chile de arbol in the Milwaukee area. Not for the faint of heart, but it has amazing flavor along with the heat. The staff is so welcoming too!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Justine Filapek
I have driven passed Lala's Place frequently and finally remembered to schedule an outing here. Very happy I finally remembered. Lala's is small but bright and open with a friendly atmosphere and staff. They were very busy at 5:45pm but we were lucky enough to get the last table to fit 5 people. It is casual and family friendly, and I must say I LOVE the motion activated skeletons at the entrance for Halloween. We had two servers watching over us, Brooklyn and Anya (?). Oh geez, she was with us most and I STILL don't think I have her name right. Both were wonderful. Buzzing around with the packed house, but still attentive to the needs of all their customers. My food came out quite a bit earlier than the rest of the table, but I think it was because the kitchen didn't realize our separate checks were all for one table. The food is just delicious. They do not have blended margaritas nor desserts, but it is because the owner likes "to keep everything fresh." And you can tell. The rocks 'ritas are very good: two had raspberry, one a traditional, and I had mango. We all loved them. The fruit flavors really come through. The only issue with keeping things THAT fresh is the possibility of running out of items. And one of our group who always orders chile relleno was disappointed to hear they just ran out about 15 minutes before we arrived. He was like a fish out of water with the rest of the menu. We had two people order Shrimp Fajitas, one ordered Chicken Tostadas, relleno-boy ordered the Combo #2, and I did my a la carte menu build-my-own-combo with a Chicken Quesadilla, Crunchy Ground Beef Taco, Cheese and Onion Enchilada, Beef Tostada, and a Shredded Beef Burrito. I failed to ask, but it sure tasted like they fry their own shells. They were SO thin, and SO crispy. Each protein I had was delicious - which is why I like to build my own from the a la carte, so I can try most of them without eating a week's worth of food. As it was I could not eat the burrito there because it is giNORmous. So I had it for lunch today. Still too big for one meal, but I finished it and won't be wanting or needing dinner tonight. Everyone raved about all their choices and the two said there was a LOT of shrimp in the fajitas. We were very pleased and all said they would definitely return.

Welcome to Flavor Heaven! From the Margaritas to the authenticity of the food - you will not leave disappointed. I was recommended this place by my in-laws and LaLa’s definitely lived up to the hype. I went for the first time during lunch time (had 3 Enchiladas Dinner with Al Pastor Meat, Green Sauce, and (2) strawberry margaritas). My Sister In Law Had (3 Taco Dinner with steak meat, guacamole + chips, (2) Margaritas ). I wouldn’t judge the tacos by the picture alone as my sister law has to make special request for her dietary restrictions. But she did say her food was just as delicious as mine. I would have scraped the plate clean if I already hadn’t almost try to hurt myself to make it to the last bite with a full on food baby - as it was that good. Again, Would Highly Recommend! I’ll definitely be returning!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Nicole Mariani
Another vegan review! As a vegan I’m happy to say I can get a couple dishes at La La’s and they are excellent. Last time I had the burrito, this time the fajitas. Wonderful and a large portion for the price. Great service and nice family atmosphere. Love the guacamole!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Terrie Lynn Dignan
We were looking for something away from all the Milwaukee downtown noise. This place was the right choice. Quieter, very friendly, nice atmosphere. Amazing food, filled the plates full at a decent price. Jayden was our server. He did an excellent job. I will return. I was treated like a friend. Any place that hangs a picture of the Pope and what appears to be family and friends on their restaurant wall has some amazing worth while values. I highly recommend this place. Cost us $24, and 38 minutes later filled full, Better than McDonald's.
