There might not be such a thing as a free lunch, but starting today, Thursday, March 20, which is National Companies That Care Day, Milwaukee-area employees can score free guacamole, chips, and salsa verde, thanks to Café Corazón.

“This is our little way of saying ‘thank you’ to Milwaukee,” Wendy Mireles said. “We never set out to have three locations and a Café Corazón food truck when we opened our original restaurant in Riverwest. Our fans are the reason why we’ve been so successful, and we want to show them a little gratitude by delivering our favorite happy hour snacks to breakrooms throughout the area.”
Café Corazón’s three locations are in Bay View (2394 S Kinnickinnic Ave.), Brown Deer (4102 W. Bradley Rd.), and the original Riverwest restaurant (3129 N. Bremen St.). Café Corazón’s food truck caters the restaurants’ favorites at company outings, community events, and weddings.
Along with surprising folks in 15 Milwaukee-area corporate breakrooms, the Mireles will also make monthly donations to nonprofit community food pantries and other local causes doing good in Milwaukee.
A Humbling Honor: The Best Mexican Restaurant in Wisconsin
The Mireles have even more to be grateful for as the International website loveFOOD.com recently named Café Corazón the best Wisconsin Mexican Restaurant in the site’s ranking of the top taquerias and cantinas in each of the 50 states and DC.
Editors at loveFOOD.com said they selected Café Corazón and the other 50 Best Mexican restaurant recipients based on reviews, awards, and accolades, as well as the first-hand experience of the site’s team.
“We can’t thank Milwaukee and our Café Corazón team enough,” said George Mireles. “My grandmother always taught me that the best way to say ‘thank you’ is to cook for people and give something back. That’s why we are launching Operation Breakroom to feed Milwaukeeans in need and those at work.”
Nominating your Workplace for Operation Breakroom is Easy
Simply drop off a business card at any Café Corazón or send an email to Corazón Catering Manager Nicole Dachs nicole@corazonmilwaukee.com and your Milwaukee-area companies, nonprofits, or organizations will be considered for a delivery of free guacamole, chips, and salsa verde.
Café Corazón was opened by George and Wendy Mireles in 2009 in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee. Pulling inspiration from their time living in the San Francisco Bay Area, George and Wendy sought to bring fresh Latin cuisine to Milwaukee. The entire team at Café Corazón is committed to serving the freshest local fare for both meat eaters and vegan/vegetarians alike. Café Corazón has three locations: Brown Deer (at 4102 W. Bradley Rd.); Bay View (at 2394 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.); and the Mireles’ original location in Riverwest (at 3129 N. Bremen St.).
