Our waiter was great! He was freaky fast. We had a big group and had us sit in the back of the restaurant indoors. I like that they have free rice and beans when you order three or more tacos ! And they have $3 taco deal on Tuesday and Thursdays. They also have a beer deal so take that deal when you can! Ambience wise it's a place to chat loud, if you're with a group you can focus on your neighbor and don't worry about hearing your friend across the table. Their restrooms , at least for the female bathroom they have a Spanish tutorial audio going on, in contrast to the restaurant which plays music. They were playing good vibes only music. If you come here on a typical dinner Time on a $3 taco night, get there early to reserve and wait for your table. Drinks are great, I love their horchata! Tacos are great!!! Try them all!

I can always count on BelAir Cantina. The food is always very good and I can get good food and isn't too expensive. The staff is very hands off and they just come and go. They are nice but the place has a harsh modern while also mexican. It's a nice place and I don't want to hate on it I just find other locations of this same resturant to be better. Everything else is great about this resturant and the other BelAir Cantina's this one just feels souless. I like resturants to make me feel somthing like amazed by the looks or calm.

Stopped into Bel Air for lunch today for some drinks and shareable. We started with frozen margaritas (El CHEAPO) I got mine with mango and it was perfect for a hot day. We also ordered the Tin Can Nachos to split along with some tacos. Our server was great and the food and drinks were out really quickly! We ordered another round and tried a ranch water and the seasonal strawberry basil margarita. I love that their drinks are not super sweet. They're fresh with real lime juice instead of sour mix which is perfect! Not too busy. They also have an outdoor patio we didn't sit at because it was hot but also a great option. Perfect weekend lunch spot and will definitely walk over again!

This place has a certain vibe of freshness and energy to it. It's very inviting. Very clean. The decor is spot on. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful with the menu. The blueberry lemon Agua Fresca was so good. It was delightfully refreshing. It pops with all different flavors and sings "welcome to Spring!" it is a bit expensive, but in someways it's a drink worth getting. My wife will usually just eat half of her meal, but her Baja cobb salad managed to disappear from the plate. My burrito was certainly a belly filler. Full of flavor. The Korean beef added both sweetness and spice to every bite. I thoroughly enjoyed eating this meal. We shared a churro dessert, but could've easily finished off individual servings. The churros were perfect, lightly crunchy on the outside and warm and chewy on the inside. Perfectly covered with cinnamon and sugar. If this place everhas an "endless churro day" they're going to be in trouble. Overall, this made our day trip to Milwaukee a pleasure and very enjoyable. It was a bright sunny day. Lots of people around. We could people-watch from our window seat. We are from Madison and I found there is a restaurant here. We are definitely going to check it out.

I've been here twice with my most recent visit on Sunday 2/25/24 around 7pm (which this review will be focused on). The restaurant wasn't packed, and we received great service (I wish I had caught our waiter's name, he was great!), and our appetizers, drinks, and food came out at a respectable time. I highly recommend getting the chips and salsa (comes with 3 types, all not too spicy). My group got a couple of tacos (great selection), birria burrito, and the carne asada burrito. The burritos were HUGE and could've fed 2 people. Since it was $5 margs happy hour, we all got a round and all of our flavors were great (watermelon, regular, and raspberry). I'd recommend looking up their latest deals since they're pretty budget-friendly. I highly recommend coming here and can't wait to come back!

BelAir..... long time customer and I'll just say it on behalf of the whole world - we miss $2 tacos. I even could get behind the tiered tacos (when it was $2-4 range depending what you got), but the fact that its $3 tacos just seems silly. The only perk of this $ increase is my husband did point out the tacos seemed bigger than previous orders we've had. Food was good, service was also good.

Came here for a quick bite/take out to hold me up before dinner. I ordered an order of guac and the Asian beef taco, and blueberry lemonade. - Guac **** actually has jalapeños even though the server said that it didn't - so watch out if you're not a fan. Otherwise, guac was fresh and they do throw in raffish and a bit of tomatoes on the top for presentation. - the Asian beef taco **** was a bit tasty with big chunks of meat. It went well with my guac - the blueberry lemonade was on the more sour end - *** This is a casual spot with plenty of seating inside and it is nice and cool if you're looking to stay out of the heat during the summer. Service: staff was helpful, but while there wasn't anyone in te restaurant except another table, food came out pretty slow.

I've been coming to BelAir since 2016, and the charm remains. The prices have increased and taco Tuesdays aren't the same, but it is still such a cute place worth stopping into once and awhile. During my recent trip I brought my new to Milwaukee roommate and was reminded what it is like to visit belAir for the first time. She was infatuated with the cute design throughout the restaurant and loved the tacos, she gave the experience a 10/10. Honestly I had forgotten how good the queso fundido was. I remember my first time visiting Milwaukee before I had moved, I met up with a friend and she said you must go to belAir and get the queso, and we did and I assumed once I moved here I would eat this everyday of my life. Unfortunately, my wallet made me forget how good the queso was, and this was my first time ordering it since 2016. It was mind blowing. I will now be eating it everyday for the rest of my life. Spend the $6 and get the queso next time you stop in. There are so many good taco options, but I personally am a burrito girlie. I ordered the shrimp burrito, but subbed the shrimp out for pulled pork (I know I'm weird). The mix of the coleslaw and corn Kim the burrito was to die for, and I had enough food for leftovers the following day. During covid they started charging $1 for the salsa. Never even think about it, this is the best dollar you will be spending. The orange salsa is my favorite salsa at any Mexican restaurant, but the brown takes a close second. If you are looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, definitely go somewhere else. But If you want funky fun food with a cute atmosphere, this is the spot. And in the summer, definitely sit on the patio that overlooks the Milwaukee river!
