Don’t let that 4.1 rating scare you off. This place seriously delivered.

The nachos were INCREDIBLE. And I mean that. At $24, it felt like an absolute steal for the portion you get. The plate just kept going with layer after layer of seasoned chips, quality ingredients, and a delicious grilled steak that had the perfect balance of tenderness and char. The sauces were on point, everything tasted fresh, and we kept eating and eating and still somehow had chips left at the end.

Also, shoutout to Jesse. He took so much pride in putting our meal together and was clearly working his butt off the whole time. You could tell he cared about what he was serving.

We washed it all down with a mango agua fresca, and wow, so refreshing and the perfect finish to the meal.

We went in a little unsure because of the rating, but we will absolutely be back.

Yum!! This place is awesome. I love the twist they have put on Mexican food. It’s maybe not that it’s different ingredients as much as the way it’s presented and the fresh taste.

We have eaten here a few times and I’ve had the tacos & the Quesadilla but this time I tried the Rice Bowl. Wow, a ton of flavor and especially with the Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Cauliflower added. The other ingredients of Cilantro-Lime Rice, Beans, Lettuce, Cilantro Crema, Ancho Chipotle Aioli, Sour Cream, Pickled Red Onion, Pickled Jalapeno, Cotija Cheese really give it a great flavor.

Did I mention they are inside Central Waters Brewing in the Pabst complex. The fact that I can drink killer craft beer along with the killer Mexican food makes for a great. combo.

Jessie was very friendly and made a delicious carne asada fries that we devoured. The carne asada was well seasoned. The birria steak egg rolls were unique and tasteful Troublemakers is located inside Central Waters Brewery in the Brewery district in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. If you make it out, definitely try them.

We have had the pleasure of working with Troublemakers’ Cocina at our venue multiple times, and every experience has been exceptional. Their food is consistently delicious — the flavors are bold, fresh, and perfectly balanced, and every dish arrives beautifully presented. Beyond their amazing cuisine, what really stands out is how well they take care of their clients: their team is attentive, professional, and incredibly easy to coordinate with. We’ve received nothing but glowing feedback from guests whenever Troublemakers’ is catering for us. Highly recommended!

I ordered a two taco meal (one carne asada and one fish) tonight at the Franklin school event. For $17 I was thinking this was going to be super delicious. I was wrong.
The carne asada on the taco were large chunks of meat and they were sooooo chewy and DRY. Almost every piece that I ate, I had to spit out. The fish was overcooked and there were some gray and feathery parts inside that were definitely questionable. The rice and beans were probably the worst of any rice and beans I’ve ever had. Even if I paid $1 for this meal, I would have been terribly disappointed. I ended up throwing away 75% of the food I had left. The only good thing about our experience was that the woman who took my order was nice. If you are going to charge an arm and a leg for your food, it should at least be delicious. $24 for a three taco plate for mediocrity is just insane lol. One and done.

Ordered the Beef Birria egg rolls, Asada Fry Burrito, and Birria Gyro. Some of the best Birria I have ever had. Food was made quick, plated extremely well, and tasted incredible. If Jesse is in the kitchen working magic, you are in for a treat! 10/10

I’ve eaten here numerous times while visiting Milwaukee and it’s really hit or miss. Fish fry is about 80% fries and three small pieces of fish. Birria egg rolls and every taco I’ve tried have been consistently good. This last time though, SIGH. I got a rice bowl with the tinga chicken and it was absolutely drowning in sauce. It was so soaked with the sauce (which was quite good, by the way, but subtracting at least half would have been more than sufficient) that it rendered everything a textureless mess. And there was maybe 5 pieces of chicken in the entire bowl. Stick with the tacos.

Troublemakers’ Cocina served up some killer eats at the Central Waters Brewery Anniversary Party in Amherst, WI, this weekend! I can’t thank them enough for accommodating my wife with a delicious vegan option, especially with what I’m sure was a busy day for the crew. These folks showed how something as simple as rice and mixed vegetables, when done well, can be an interesting and tasty meal.

I’ll also shout out their ancho aioli; I’d have them deliver a tanker truck of it if I could.

Incredible flavor served up by some incredibly kind folks. I can’t wait to visit your location in Milwaukee. Thanks again, folks!

The Nacho Rater
Nachos
Consisted of tortilla chips, triublemakers’ queso, salsa verde, sour cream, ancho chipotle aioli, pickled red onion, cilantro crema, and pickled jalapeños.
Protein options were carne asada, carnitas, chicken tinga, roasted brussel sprouts and cauliflower, and beef birria.
I chose the carne asada.
The chip to topping ratio was balanced.
The portion size was not enough for one adult.
The pricing was overpriced.
Overall, the nachos were ok. However, nothing about the order justifies the pricing.
I would not order these nachos again.

I have been photographing, coordinating and working weddings for 15 years and this has been BY FAR the best wedding catering experience I have had in recent memory.

The staff was communicative, attentive and friendly. They were excellent to work with. I HIGHLY will highly recommend their catering services to all of my couples and upcoming events.

AND the food was surpurb… The elote risotto was my favorite dish of the evening and I wanted to go back for more!

Although I haven’t been to their physical restaurants, I will be sure to go and update if anything is different, but I highly doubt it.
