All of the flavors were exceptional. We almost got a 2nd order of elotes, it was so delicious. The empanadas were the best we’ve had. And the potato pancake melted in my mouth, and the accompaniments that came with the potato pancake were the best part of the meal.

Great little restaurant in Riverwest. Had three versions of a Pisco Sour- regular, passion fruit, & lavender lemon- they were so good. Got the goat cheese fritters with jalapeño honey as an appetizer- very good but small amount for the price. Dinner was arepas Dr choclo which I added chicken- it was good. The best dish though was the llapingachos con chorizo- the cheese potato cake was delicious and that was the best chorizo I’ve ever had.

La Cocina del Sur was fantastic! We were able to get seated within 10mins during a very busy time, service was QUICK as well. We had the plantain chips with guac, amazing. 3 empanadas, beef, chicken and mushroom all delicious with the chimichurri sauce. I got the special fish fry, it was delicious as well, would’ve preferred the sauce on the side as it made the chicharron crust a little bit soggy, but the flavors were there. My wife had the corn bowl with beef and that was very filling and flavorful, the friends had the infamous arepa, can’t beat them on their arepas for sure and then ended it all with churros! Lovely atmosphere, lovely serive and lovely food! Highly recommended.

I was so excited to try La Cocina del Sur as I’m a big fan of Pedro’s food truck. The food was delicious! I had the ceviche for an appetizer, the pernil sandwich with yuca fries with an amazing sauce, and for dessert schaum torte & Churros. Everything was literally bursting with flavors. I also loved the plants, lighting, and decor. The restaurant itself was super cute and esthetically pleasing perfect for pictures too. The staff was also really friendly. I will definitely be back soon.

We dined here last night. Cute place with a nice ambience. Our service was perfect. I enjoyed everything ordered. My only suggestion would be to spice up the potato salad a little more as it was bland but overall a great time and will return.

I had a lovely dinner and cocktails at the bar. The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. I did two appetizers as my meal. The ceviche was delicious, I add hot sauce for some heat. The pork crackling dish (I forget the name) was exquisite. My Pisco sour:gorgeous. I will be back! Warm, friendly, welcoming environment.

Amazing happy hour and excellent food! As a former resident of Quito and Lima, La Cocina del Sur checks all the boxes in terms of great South American food. Service was quick and professional.

Just got back and i’m already planning my next visit. The food is amazing, the cocktails were exquisite and the staff went above and beyond. If you get Justin as your server, you will be well taken care of.

Soft opening was a total success. Seeing Cheft Pedro and his team making history in Milwaukee’s culinary world is just remarkable. The taste of South America now has a home in Milwaukee.

Pedro’s has nestled into the old Filling Station with ease, and Riverwest is better off for it. Go with friends, or just stop in solo at the bar for a quick beer and empanada. Your day will be better for it.
