Waitress told our table our food took so long because of my side of mole sauce. Funny thing was she forgot to bring me my mole sauce. The margaritas are no tasty at all and the food was just average. Do not wast your time here unless you can bring in your own food to their nice patio.
Pros: Nice Patio
Cons: Maragrita, Food and Service

I love after work drinking during the summer at this restaurant. The outdoor area is spacious. This is the Mexican restaurant where the suburbians come for Mexican. Food is just okay. Expect a social environment that is good for group dining.
Pros: Most social Mexican food dining in Milwaukee
Cons: Loud environment and food is nothing special

Great atmosphere. Very good margaritas. Food is average. As stated already, BEWARE OF THE AUTOMATIC SERVICE CHARGE (regardless of your party size)!! I have been going to La Fuentes for over 10 years. However, due to this very questionable business practice, I will no longer visit this establishment. Please note, the receipt that you initially receive with your total does state that there is a service charge added (which is less than we normally tip). However, the receipt you sign for a credit card transaction does not state this. In addition, the server will NEVER point this fact out to you when you get the bill. Of course after receiving their 40% tip (as has happened twice to myself and my wife), your server will just walk away feeling that this was what was intended. In summary, La Fuentes has a great atmosphere with excellent margaritas. However the average food and deceptive business practices make this a below average dining experience.
Pros: Margs and Outdoor patio
Cons: Hidden Service Charges - Average Food

Customer service? It's obvious they get must get some difficult clientele. There's signs posted that say profanity will get you kicked out. On their menu they tell you NO split checks and a max of 2 credit cards per table. They add the 15% gratuity no matter the size of the party. The one that really shocked me was returned plates and returned drinks still charged regular price. I realize a business has to cover themselves, but sheesh. Aside from that - VERY delicious food and margaritas. My husband and I have been there a few times and have had pleasurable dining experiences each time. We've alway been satisfied.

My husband and I have been frequenting La Fuente for over 12 years., before the numerous expansions. We go there at least once a week. It was our favorite Mexican restaurant. We have noticed a gradual decline in friendlyness,service, and food preparation. We have owned restaurants in other states, so , we know quite alot about the restaurant business. We think it is cheesey to charge for refills on soft drinks. It cost them about 10 cents. The biggest gripe we have is their new deceptive practice of tipping. They have added a service charge onto your bill, which unless you look carefully you don't see at first. Our waitress didn't bother to tell us aboout it either, When they bring your credit card receipt to sign, they again have a blank space for the tip. If you do not notice this you will be charged 15% and then another 20% if you are as generous as we normally are. When we questioned our server about this practice, she said that we look at the people, and if they look like good tippers, we will tell them to ignore the service charge, otherwise we say nothing. We are in our 50's well dressed, and white coller professionals, but, she evidently misjudged us. Guess what they got their lousey service charge in stead of our normal 20%. When we asked to speak to a manager, he wasn't there . I find that also unusual as the place was packed. If I ever go back I will tell everyone I see to check their bill. The people above are right, it is a more enjoyable experience at Botano's up the street.
Pros: patio
Cons: service charge hidden in bill

It was Cinco de Mayo today,,,,, everthing went wrong today. We were crossed off the seating list., were then were seated outside more like left outside.2 hours later we were served cold food and the wrong food. We were told the kitchen was having issues.....but we were not told that the waiter was having issues to. He never checked on us, 2 meals went back wrong and cold. Becuase we never checked on us we did not order 2 more meals. The bus boy brought us water and silverware and salsa. Although when the check was given he put his tip on the bill even though only 3 people ate. It was the worst service ever and considering it was my idea to go their I would not reccomend this resturant again to anyone. That is turely sad because i did like it alot!!!
Pros: the bus boy
Cons: waiter and management

On average, we go at least once weekly...and when family came to town from out of state, we went 3 times in 5 days! They loved it! The margaritas, the salsa, the food! Amazing! I can't say enough great things about this authentic mexican restaurant! Sit on the patio if its warm enough...the atmosphere is so much fun!!
