What Guests Say

“ I found this Mi Casa Su Cafe by accident today and it was incredible. I got the catfish and grits and my friend got the jerk chicken and rice. Both of our meals had amazing flavor and were nice and hot (temperature). The catfish and grits is one of my favorite meals now! We also got the lemonade and cherry slushi which was one of the best slushies I’ve ever had — it was so sweet and flavorful. The service was wonderful, our waitress was lovely and a manager even came over to make sure we were doing well. Both were such friendly people. The atmosphere and decorations in the restaurant were really cool as well. I will absolutely be coming back, this is now one of my favorite restaurants in Milwaukee! ”
“ Great little cafe with interesting food choices. I had the shrimp and grits and it was awesome. 04-07-2024. Stopped in again for brunch on a Sunday around 1130. The service was slow and they seemed somewhat overwhelmed. Definitely seemed to prioritize take out orders over the folks attempting to dine in. I waited about an hour for my food to make it to the table. I had the Salmon Croquettes which tasted more like tuna than salmon. I was a tad disappointed in that experience. Overall, my experience has been hit and miss here. ”
“ I wish I had taken pictures of the amazing food. I needed something lighter, but filling. And the coquettes were PERFECT. I even saved one for later. We tried the fried okra too. Everything was amazing and the service was spectacular. All the staff were really nice and if you have the chance don’t miss out on their cake!!! ”
“ This is a fantastic restaurant! We went on a Friday mid morning for lunch. This place has really changed from its original state. Kudos to the person who came up with the remodeled look. WOW! I was very impressed. When I first went in, I was a little surprised at the order taking process, but I quickly adapted. Can you say . . . I had no choice? Anyways - I loved seeing all of the chefs cooking up front. Can you say . . . Nothing is more sexier than to see a strong, solid and masculine Black man cooking. YAAAASSSSS! We had the beef and broccoli bowl which was seasoned to perfection. It was delicious! We also had the hamburger with fries. Everything was amazing. The service was outstanding… from the gentleman who took our order to the gentleman that served us our food. The wait was no problem for us. As far as I’m concerned. . . Everything was timed so perfectly. I’m wishing you all much success!! ”
“ Great food! Going back again to get pictures this time! That’s how fast I ate it! Update: So I have a pic of the first time I went. I’ve enjoyed going and now I’m becoming indecisive on visiting again. The last two orders has been unsatisfactory and I didn’t get the same things that I paid for the first time. I always get the Chicken & Waffles with powders sugar and fruit with syrup … same price and menu item! I love the one woman who is very much like a family member that calls everyone Cuz! She always greet us with love and light!! The place is nice and I love the atmosphere but my orders aren’t looking like they were when we first went! ”
