Tasty Latin Food at West Allis' Antigua
Short Orders
Antigua Latin Restaurant (5823 W. Burnham St.)
offers one of the area's most interesting menus. You will find pupusas from El
Salvador, empanadas from Argentina, and cochinita pibil, pulled pork from the
Yucatan. After 5 p.m. the specialty is paella, the famous rice dish from Spain
that is so difficult to find locally. There are paella de mariscos and paella
Valenciana. The first consists of mixed seafood, while the Valenciana has
chicken and pork. Antigua had a paella festival last August, offering five
different versions for the entire month. The servings feed two, which also
makes this one of the more inexpensive entrees on the menu. Allow 30 minutes
for cooking, as Antigua's kitchen takes no shortcuts. Why not start with a
plate of pupusas?
