I ordered a beef burrito and I could not finish my meal. The service was good, the parking lot was full, but the food tasted like it came from a can. My wife's meal was barely better with canned cheese sauce and canned spinach. It was an anniversary meal to remember and laugh about.

I stopped in with a friend just for their great Margarita from scratch. I don't like the premixed Margarita but they make a great one from Scratch with your choice of tequilla. Go at happy hour for the best deal.

We have eaten at La Chimenea at least 10 times. The food is always good and the atmoshpere is "Mexican fun!" A sign of a good restaurant is if it's usually busy and La Chimenea is usually pretty busy, especially on the weekends. That's a good indication that people keep coming back because the food and service are both good.... More

We have eaten here several times as a family for it is a local restaurant. This past time will be our last. The service was beyond poor, the food was not even warm and my daughters food came out wrong. When I brought this to the attention of the manager he made it seem like it was our fault for... More

Really not sure what some of the negative reviewers are talking about. I have eaten there many, many times with friends and family. Service is always fast (great when dining with little ones). Food is always good, tasty! I disagree that the menu is "Americanized". There are plenty of choices. In spring, summer, fall the outside deck is spacious and... More

I hate when a place does not stay true to its Culture, and unfortunately, La Chimenea has fallen to the same trap of a lot of Mexican Restaurants in Milwaukee and surroundings. They lean to much to americanize mexican food. Too bad, because I can see this place doing great things. A lot of plates are hit and miss. Is... More

Service is always courteous & pretty fast - the best part of this place is their great margaritas - a little better than average food - we like to drop in 4 - 5 times a year.

Business meeting dinner, food and service were fine and not overpriced. Was surprised to see barbeque ribs in a Mexican restaurant, they were good.
