Cempazuchi   

If your idea of Mexican food is enchiladas drowned in cheese and gravy, tacos stuffed with ground meat and iceburg lettuce, or the drive thru at Taco Bell, this spirited eatery on Milwaukee's East Side is probably not the place for you. But if you're craving a fiesta of the senses, than you've most certainly come to the right spot. It's hard to believe you are still in Milwaukee once you walk through this restaurant's doors and gaze upon the eclectic artwork and blue, pink and yellow walls. With a tasting menu of more than 60 tequilas as well as one of the best margaritas this city has to offer, Cempazuchi's menu takes you on a delicious tour of the best that Mexico has to offer. Dishes are authentic and hail from the regions of Oaxaca, Veracruz and Mexico City. Try the Tacos de Tio Israel, a plate of three perch tacos rolled in organic blue cornmeal with lime slaw and chipotle mayo. Or, order the Manchamantel, a grilled chicken breast served in a sweet-sour fruit mole with pear, apple, plantain and sweet potato. -- Rachael Liska
