“ Amazing place, great ambience, and delicious food! Definitely will be going again. We had gone there for my wife’s birthday and were not disappointed. We ordered the chicken dish, a lot of the tacos, and the salsa taster. Love how the staff gave free birthday shots and a birthday dessert to my wife at the end! Highly recommend going here if you like Mexican food and beautiful decor. ”
“ Had a great experience here ! We had a reservation and got sat straight away. Cool interior , slightly loud music playing. Our server was really friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Happy hour was a great deal with 6 margaritas and discount on single tacos. The chicken tacos were amazing as well as the pork belly chicharron. We had the el trip dip taster and found the guacamole to be amazing but the other two to be slightly plain but still good. The ceviche was fresh and played really well. I loved how you can choose two flavours spicy for the soda or margaritas. Overall an incredible deal for the quality and quantity of food. ”
“ Absolutely loved our experience at Milpa. Our server Robin really elevated our experience with amazing service. She was very attentive, made us laugh lots and gave us great recommendations. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour. Our favourite dish was the ceviche and quesabirria tacos. ”
“ Came for a work dinner and we were lucky to have the general manager Tiffany as our server. The food was impeccable, the drinks were delicious, the atmosphere was amazing, but Tiffany really made the experience special. She had amazing food and drink recommendations but she also made us feel so taken care of when she brought us complimentary boozy slushy shots and hats. Also, if you’ve never had a shot of tequila with an apple slice, you’re missing out! We have Tiffany to thank for that too. ”
“ The food was incredible — bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was spot-on. The margaritas - Next level. Easily the best I’ve had - perfectly balanced and dangerously smooth. The interior is absolutely stunning! elegant, vibrant, and full of character, making it feel like a special night out. And the service was just wonderful!!! friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. Can’t wait to come back! ”
“ Great first experience at Milpa. The dip trio was unique and tasty. Quesabirria tacos were definitely the star. Was pleasantly surprised by the fish taco. Extensive list of margaritas to choose from as well. Will definitely come back for happy hour sometime to try more! *We saw another table order the Octopus and it looked fantastic. ”
“ We LOVE Milpa! This place is a hidden gem. You won’t regret the cactus tacos or the lamb shank Robyn has served us multiple times at the restaurant and she is fantastic! ... ”
“ Just had dinner here tonight, and loved it! The food was great, the drinks were so good, and the atmosphere was awesome. But the best part was Robyn. She was our server and she was great! She even helped us celebrate our special night with a special birthday donut for our friend! ”
