Diner Reviews

"Although this looks like any other Mexican restaurant in a strip mall, it certainly isn't. You'll enter a very clean, modern space and be greeted immediately. On the evening we were there a guitar player was softly playing in the background. The menu is one page with a few of the mexican entrees you'd expect but also many more interesting items. It was nice to see the owner(s) checking every table and keeping a close eye on the waitstaff. Our table service was flawless. Oh and as others have said the food was very good, nothing over the top but very good. We will be back."

"Appetizers were great. Pork tenderloin over noodles had little flavor. Service was poor. Classical guitar was very nice touch."

"This upscale modern Mexican restaurant is a refreshing change to what the area has to offer. The table side guacamole is a great starter offering up complex flavors and textures. Authentic tortilla soup is a must, you even get to add the ingredients yourself (avocado/Oaxacan cheese/chili flakes/tortilla strips). Chicken mole has more of an ancho/arrboro chili garlic flavor and was a nice lighter alternative to the often chocolate richness found in moles. For dessert skip the tres leeches and opt for the Key Lime tart or the flan!"

"We went to Hispania for my wife's birthday dinner. The menu is split between traditional authentic Mexican dishes and a Mexican 'fusion' selection as well, which blends the spices and cooking methods of Mexico with some international dishes. Both styles of food were spectacular. The ambience is cozy and friendly. Restaurant staff was extremely personable and accomodated our special requests easily. The pace of service is relaxed, so alot sufficient time to enjoy every minute! I highly recommend the table-side guacamole for appetizer, and make sure you save room for some of the amazing Mexican desserts along with a delicious cup of strong, flavorful coffee. Highly recommend, it was a great place!"

"We met two adult daughters in Delafield and picked Hispania from the reviews on Open Table. We were very pleased with the choice. The food was great and the service matched. The restaurant is in a cute strip mall that would be very fun to shop when the stores are open. The menu choices are not the "burrito as big as your head" variety but more sophisticated choices."

"We had a great first experience at Hispania. The food (crab cakes) were delicious as were the flank steak tacos. The margaritas are the best I've ever had. My husband tried a "virgin" margarita...not so good. The service was good as well. There was live guitar music the night we dined there. Just the right volume...nice background music. I would definitely return to this fine dining establishment!"

"Came recommended to me by a friend who said they have a great classical guitarist. My friend was right! Great music and the food was exceptional - excellent-sized proportions, tasty, and well presented. An all-around wonderful dining experience."

"We dined at Hispania last night and it was wonderful! It is a beautiful, upscale restaurant like you would find in Mexico City or Chicago. We ordered the table side guacamole and it was the most perfect and delicious guacamole we have ever had (and I lived in Mexico for three years, dine a nicer Mexican restaurants in the US and make guacamole at home). The service was excellent as well, very attentive. The cesar salad was really delicious, as well as the complimentary appetizer. The cocktails were great, we tried a Brazilian one because it was Brazilian night. The pastel de tres leches dessert was also the best I have ever had. We are planning on going back for their Argentinean night and for their Mon. night Spanish tapas."

"Bar service was excellent and the bartender very engaging. The crab cakes were outstanding but a caution to diners if the waitstaff asks if you would like to try what you thought was a sample and it later shows up on your bill."

"Great restaurant for grownups, but kids would ruin the ambience. We had the table-side salsa, crabcakes and another appetizer, the Duck entree and the special of the night (ribeye), the signature dessert, the chocolate dessert, and the dessert with the walnut cookie topped with creme frache and strawberries. From the drink menu, we had awesome mohitos and french martini. The atmosphere is intimate with candles, live music, and small tables. The small tables are our only complaint of the evening. The broken salsa was the best salsa we have ever had. The food was all fantastic except I was expecting more flavor from the bbq duck. My husband is rather harsh in his steak standards, but said his ribeye was 5star. I hope this place catches on!!!"

"It was very quiet for a Tuesday night..only 3 other tables filled. Service was excellent- food was wonderful. Would recommend the table side made guacamole and the tortilla soup.... Will definitely go back."

"This was our first visit to Hispania & we found the overall experience to be fairly good. The food was tasty but very expensive & not quite on par in our opinion with other restaurants offering better ambiance & food at similar prices (think: Andrews, Zin). The salmon was rather bland and overall the portions are small but more than enough food, especially if you do an appetizer and salad or soup. The soups were fantastic and very flavorful as was the appetizer we ordered. Overall the dinner entrees were less impressive and not quite worth their price. The menu is extensive enough, offering a few meat, fish and vegetarian options. The service was fair, our waitress seemed nervous and another employee (the host?) was almost intrusive."

"First a somber woman offered guacamole while my husband was getting his glasses from the car. I asked her to wait till he got back. She stood there while I looked to see how much we'd get nicked for tableside guac, but I couldn't find it on menu. After the guac was served, the amuse bouche arrived with no explanation. Then the server stopped by with water. The service order was backwards. We were squished between two tables with couples talking in whispers in an attempt not to be overheard in the quiet restaurant. Wall art was nice but rest of decor was like a cheesy strip mall taco joint-it looked dated. Food portions were very small for the price. The guacamole was a staggering $15. Desserts were housemade and delicious."

"Hispania is new to Delafield, but I sure hope they stick around. The food was savory, delicious, and arrived very quickly. The service was outstanding - unobtrusive but there right when you needed them. The cocktails and wine were superb as well. This restaurant will be filling up quickly on date nights as the word gets out, so get in now while the reservation spots are still open!"

"Fantastic service, creative food, and a great find. Manager (owner?) helped us select tequelias. Don't go if you expect cheesy, cheaply made Mexican fare."

"Very enjoyable dining experience. Not your typical Mexian joint! Be prepared for a very upscale rendering of south of the boarder foods. Music a bit loud for my older ears but other than this the meal was flawless. Best tuna I have had in a long time with tbe perfecf mango salsa. Karen"

"My friend and I went to La Hispania after seeing an advertisement in the weekly neighborhood paper. The storefront blends in with the adjacent businesses so it was a little difficult to find. It was refreshing to see linen tablecloths on the inside tables and the decor was tasteful but classy. We ate outdoors, where there is a row of tables parallel to the restaurant wall/windows. Our waiter was very attentive. The wine list was not extensive but included an ample choice of the popular whites and reds. The food was attractively presented and delicious! It appeared to us that the flour tortillas included with our mini tacos and empanadas were homemade."
Dined on 8/29/2013
"We arrived and wanted to sit outside but had to wait (no problem). We went to the bar and the bartender ignored us until we said something. A table opened up outside, however, it was a tiny table and bench where a group would have drinks before dinner. We asked to move when another table opened. Our waiter forgot about us for at least 45 mins. I went to get the hostess and finally our waiter came back apologizing. We then ordered our meal and it was wrong. So they took it back and then brought out our meal wrong again. At that point we didn't care because it was getting late. Food was bland and WAYYY over-priced. The manager came back apologizing over and over again (which was getting old after the first time). Never going back!"

"This place makes real Mexican food, it's not the melted cheese over rice that everyone else does. Really, go eat like a real Mexican..not what taco bell says Mexican food is...This place is the best Mexican food in Milwaukee!"

"they are everything they want to be fine dining, fresh produce and gourmet I think they need to market themselves more I also think they have a niche market as I have heard from some of the locals it is too pricey"

"The appetizers and desserts were the best tasting. hibiscus margartia was great. but the entrees were not that flavorful and were really Over priced for what we got."
Dined on 8/17/2013
"Small portions, the food was not good...empanadas were doughy with scant amount of filling..chicken mole include two chicken thighs, scoop of rice and 2 asparagus spears/2 carrots....not a $22 meal. The trio of tamales were not meat filled, flavorless and $20. We will not be returning. One of the worst dining experiences we have had, the food was disappointing and the once made it even more disappointing. We were hoping to find a go to spot in delafield...Hispanic is not the place."

"We have taken a different group there 4 times in 8 weeks, since they opened. They are still working some of the kinks out and menu is not yet complete, but we enjoy the food and staff...very attentive, friendly and aim to please. We hope others discover the place as well...."
Dined on 8/16/2013
"We loved the food and appreciate that they use local resources when making their menu but we feel as though the prices were just too high. They need to rethink their decor and floor plan if they want to make this a "unique" dining experience at the price point they have chosen."

"My sister and I had an early dinner here after doing some walking around Delafield. What a nice surprise! You must try this new spot. We will be taking more friends here for the outstanding service (thanks Bryan), the interesting beverage list including wine and the coffee served with two little wedding cookies. The black bean soup was served with "condiments" to add according to your wishes. Attention to the smallest detail was evident. You won't be disappointed!"

"Upscale southern Mexican cuisine. Authentic flavors and menu. Native artwork for sale as well as other pieces by a middle eastern aritist. Owner was extremely gentile, polite and very enthusiastic with customers. Return trip for certain."

"This is an excellent choice for a special dinner. Haute cuisine influenced by Mexico. As a fan of Rick Bayless' Topolobambo in Chicago, this is every bit as good. Don't expect chips and salsa, but enjoy the exquisite empanadas. A very special chile relleno. Attentive service. Small wine list but good choices. Real margaritas (not slushies). Wonderful desserts. A real treat!"

"Service left much to be desired. We had to flag down the server after 15 minutes to order our entree"

"Very well done new renovation of blank space...however, suggest that the large window/white room with ice machine,etc on West wall have windows covered or lighting dimmed inside...it detracts from the otherwise very well done space, in my opinion.. We have been twice and will be back soon."

"Hispania wasn't what I expected when Open Table had it listed as "Mexican" food. You do not get the usual chips and salsa with a large Margarita. There were five entrees to chose from of which three were chicken or fish, the other two more ethnic. The Margaritas are served in a highball glass which is unusual, considering they are ten bucks each. A little background music would be nice, the tables are close so you hear every conversation next to you. The service was fantastic and the employees looked sharp in their attire. The two of us spent over a hundred dollars for a mediocre meal at best, I don't feel it comes close to other similar Open Table listings for the same price."

"Food was excellent! Delicious flavor, high quality ingredients, just right portions, beautiful. Server young, inexperienced and nervous. I will definitely return!"
