    Now this is authentic Mexican food. I ordered chicharron tacos, but you can get tacos with just about anything in them. They are the small tacos like you would get in Mexico, so a plate consist of five small tacos. Don't worry about their being small tacos, because a plate of five is quite filling. They were excellent by the way, and my order included all the extras: onions, jalapeños, lime slices, and cilantro. Just for fun, I ordered a real Mexican soda, and out came a bottle of Coca-Cola made in Mexico with real sugar. This is a great place. It is an outdoor venue, so come prepared to sit outside at one of the picnic tables or to take it home.

    this is the best taco truck on la salle- I've found myself enjoying the asada and cabeza tacos, though I usually limit myself to ordering one cabeza taco.

    La Milpa - Al pastor tacos on corn

    I went to Baylor University and would frequent La Milpa for my late night food needs. Recently I…read morewas driving from Austin to Dallas and decided to stop halfway in Waco and check out my old taco spot. Since I went there they have upgraded the setup and now have a good amount of covered seating and a television (used to be a projector). Main thing I recommend is their Agua de melon, I actually hated melon before drinking this and it single handedly made me appreciate melons. It is a generously large cup and so cold, refreshing and sweet. Sometimes I would order 2 because its that good. Tacos were better than I remembered with al pastor tasting well marinated and corn tortillas absorbing a lot of flavor. Not pictured was the chicken quesadilla I ordered which was and always is extremely filling and delicious. I would recommend asking for some extra salsas if you order the quesadillas but for the money such good value. Last thing I will say is the service is incredible, one of the women that used to serve me was there and she is incredibly nice, helpful and just adds to the overall great experience here. Definitely will continue to stop by and get that Agua de melon and tacos on road trips!

    We just ate here we had tripa tacos and fajita tacos both were very old and you could tell we…read morereturned them and asked for another type of taco fort time was my husbands the tripa and they gave him more tacos which were okay. I sent my fajita back and they gave me $5 back saying they are $2.50 they still owed me $0.50 their agua frescas are powder they don't taste good either. Would not recommend

    Great food and I'm a cool vibe at Magnolia…read more It's hard to find the information about this online , just spent 15 minutes trying to find the information to share with my grandmother. It kept dancing me between yelp and instagram and then updating the apps then logging in, etc hahah. I just wanted to search chicken bowl in Waco , and i failed Then typing club sandwich kept recommending places that sell club sandwiches. The food, vibe, and friendly owner make this run around worth it .

    The sandwich board said it was the #2 food truck in Waco (and #1 isn't around here.) Since it was…read moreso flippin' hot and I didn't feel like venturing too far from Chip and Jojoland, I decided to try out this spot. The man out front was friendly and we got to chatting about where he gets his ingredients; there aren't an Asian markets in the area so he has to drive a good distance to get stuff. I ended up getting the 'trash can' bowl with beef and maxed out on all the veggies. The portion was ok-a lot of rice a couple bits of protein with a squirt of the sriracha ranch which was 'totally mild' as advertised. If you think about the Magnolia siloes as an amusement park then I understand this place, you're paying a slight premium for something that's just ok because you're in an area designed to part you from your money while you're caught up in the atmopshere.
