We're in Silver City on Milwaukee's south side, close to American Family Field. The dishes are Mexican-inspired and the portions are big.

Orendas breakfast food is truly phenomenal! I usually get the chicken poblano dish or the red chilaquiles! Also their french toast is so delicious! This is definitely one of my go to spots in the Milwaukee area. I have brought so many of my loved ones here and it has quickly become their favorites too! The staff and space is very welcoming. Our server Nicole is so sweet and attentive to any of our needs anytime we come in! Thanks so much!

The most incredible brunch food! Come support this women-owned, Latina-owned business. Everything on the menu is fabulous, but I can’t help but order the Carnita Hash Bowl every time. Such amazing flavors, veggies, and a generous portion of pork. The Serrano Pork Belly bowl is also incredible with crispy yet juicy and tender pork belly. You won’t leave hungry. P.S. their garlic bloody mary might be my favorite in the city. Amazing, fresh bloody mix with a Modelo chaser! P.P.S. Check…

Stop here!!! We wanted to try somewhere new for breakfast that was close to American Family Field. This place hit the spot!!

The service needs to be mentioned, because it…

We went for the first time. We were greeted right away. Excellent service from start to end. I tried the special Bloody Mary called Farmers Market Bloody. It was Dill infused vodka, house bloody mix, with house pickled asparagus and bacon as the garnish. We were informed the dill and asparagus were locally sourced. Let me tell you, I'm super picky when it comes to a good Bloody Mary. I'm pretty sure I found my new favorite Bloody Mary. You can taste the freshness in all the ingredients.…

Stopped in on a Friday morning for breakfast, and they served! The staff were two attentive and sweet ladies who provided quick service. I ordered chilaquiles with steak and the fizz berry drink. Both 10/10. The avocado sauce, actually I'm not even sure what it was lol but it was hitting! Not a drop left.
