Chilango Express

This place is the best mexican food I have had in milwaukee. Their huaraches and tacos are amazing.

Has anyone ever told you to not let appearances fool you? In this case, if you do, you will be missing out on some of the freshest, finest Mexican street food in the city!
This isn’t your average taco cart.
There are tacos AND quesadillas AND tortas AND huaraches (which are my fav).
There are FRESH tortillas. The masa is made each morning and packed into pails. When you order the masa is dished into a tortilla press and then grilled and ready to fill.
There are huaraches — a large oval shaped flatbread stuffed with refried beans, grilled in front of you and topped with your choices!
There are nearly a half dozen meats — chicken in red chili sauce so tender and flavorful it tastes like its been slow cooked for hours), steak, carnitas, shredded beef and tongue.
There are vegan options — mushrooms, poblano peppers, nopales (cactus leaves) and huitlacoche; the inky mushrooms that grow on corn which are called pumpkin blossoms.
There are choices in toppings — Mexican style with onion and cilantro and American style with tomatoes, lettuce and cheese. Fresh crema is also available.
There are two sauces — green jalapeño sauce which is mild and packed with layers of flavor and red chili arbol which is hot.
And there is friendly service (bonus points if you pull out some high school Spanish) and great, great prices.
All of this in the tiny little food cart/​tent (see photos) makes it worthwhile for you to go check it out. I bet once you do you’ll be back for more!
Note; Hours may run longer than those posted, especially on summer weekends. Their season also runs longer that most food carts and trucks. They said if it’s about 45 degrees they try to open as much as possible.
