Delicias Michoacan

Obviously there was a reason this place didn’t have a license and that is now apparent. They have 3 pages of health code violations and meat kept at temperatures up to the 70’s and have refused to fix the issue. Check out:
You are risking yourself by eating here.

Honestly, I can say the only flaw with this place is I had no idea the pork ribs were still on the bone (a tad messy for a work lunch). Regardless, I’m currently stuffed beyond belief (don’t know when to say «I’ll save the rest for dinner»). I’ll be returning to try as many other dishes as I can. That’s not to say my meal wasn’t fantastic… If only I could remember the name (ended in de Puerco). Came slathered in a red sauce, with rice and beans, plenty of corn tortillas, and a side of guac to boot. I couldn’t stop myself as I tore through taco after taco. Kudos to another quality spot in walking distance from my work!

How do I write a review about a place that 98% of MKE’s 10%er population won’t understand? Oh, what’s a 10%er? Well, those that know every inch of MKE from UWM down to Bayview but no further west than 3^rd street.
Ok, cynicism aside, let me begin by saying this place is the child of a true latino speakeasy style restaurant that existed somewhere in the vicinity of 13^th and National over the past many so years. It resided in a basement, without a license, and it took a few nocks at the door to come in and dine. It was doing so well that the owners decided to go legit and move into a «real» business space, and so now we have Delicias Michoacan.
You might think traditional Mexican but you would be way wrong, this is Michoacan, which is Mexican soul food. Cheap cuts of meat with deep flavors and different stylings. You will only find handmade tortillas and salsa here. Menudo full of huge pieces of tripe, barbacoa sold by the pound. This is not your La Perla, nor any other played out Mexican in the city… this is the real fucking deal. Don’t expect any English speakers here, nor any sense of fake Latino fashion in the décor… it’s a kitchen, small bar, and a few tables. It’s perfect… and that’s all that needs to be said. I already feel like a rat for exposing this secret, but they deserve the business now that they’re above ground, per say.
