Mexican Oilcloth
Although Los Paisa has been open for a number of years, I made my first visit just a week ago. I blame this, in large part, to the Milwaukee mythology that suggests that all good Mexican food exists to the south of I-94.
Los Paisa is located in a villa-style brick building at 600 W. Brown Deer Road just off of I-43. Upon entering, guests will find a bar and open kitchen to the left, and a cozy dining area with nine tables to the right.
The restaurant is decorated with authentic Mexican art, including black-and-white family photos, paintings of Frida Kahlo and Day of the Dead décor. Tables are covered with brightly patterned oil cloth and a gas fireplace toward the back of the dining room gives the restaurant a warm glow.
our neighbors below, like a cheeky Sombrerou Dish (shown, $68), bowls made of fiesta-bright paper strips ($25) and flower brooches crafted from charomesa, the ubiquitous oilcloth table covers used in homes and restaurants throughout Mexico ($15).
