    Birria Pizza & Beyond: Exploring Banderas in Walker’s Point

    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 📍 Banderas — 408 W. Florida St., Milwaukee, WI > follow @banderasmke 📸 Guest: Lost Art Photography & Studio Indigo 📲 Follow @1OfAKindMKE for more Milwaukee food finds and more! FCC
