Boring! One of those boring mexican restaurants that has stolen a great location, and that's the success they build on. The food has never been outstanding for the price, the atmosphere could be so much better, (and more comftorable for outside seating)... I would rather pay $4 for a tb chicken quesadilla because here it's not really any different! more

Cempazuchi isn't your typical Mexican street food. While tacos are on the menu (and they are excellently fresh and homemade) the specialties are the Oaxacan moles.

But this place has really good Mexican food, more authentic and with much more variety than most places in Wisconsin. I'm not a huge fan of their chips, which lack flavor, but their tortilla soup (both varieties) is excellent, their... more

Amazing!! Not the typical Mexican entree served with a side of flavorless rice and pastie beans. Ingredients were fresh, flavorful and while traditional they were not served in the traditional way. My husband is Mexican and grew up in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood and he loved the Enchilada Suiza. I had the Manchamantel, and it was amazingly delicious. The Margarita's were... more

Hadn't even read these reviews before we tried Cempazuchi. All I can say is I wish we had tried it along time ago - but we have found it now and will return regularly. Tacos de Tio Israel are amazing as are the margaritas. more
