On this episode of One of a Kind Milwaukee let me take you live inside Banderas in Walker’s Point, where I sat down with my guest Mariah, owner of Lost Art Photography and Studio Indigo, for a true tasting adventure. 🌎🍕✨

Banderas means flags, and the restaurant’s mission is just as bold — to bring a rotating menu of street foods and iconic dishes from across the Americas, all finished-to-order in their Brazilian hoodless oven. It’s a fresh and one-of-a-kind addition to Milwaukee’s dining scene.

During our visit, we tasted a spread of dishes that showcased both creativity and flavor: the fan-favorite Birria Pizza, a hearty Campechano Sandwich, a loaded Sonoran Hot Dog, house-made Totopos, smoky Costillas Argentinas (pork ribs), the savory Carne Asada Bowl, and the refreshing Prickly Collins cocktail.

Highlights:

• 🎤 Live tasting from inside Banderas with guest Mariah

• 🌎 The unique concept behind Banderas and its rotating international menu

• 🍕 Why the Birria Pizza is already a Milwaukee must-try

• 🌭 Exploring playful street food twists like the Sonoran Hot Dog
