    The food at Milpa is sooo solid even though I got it delivered from DoorDash. Who knew you could find tacos better than some of the spots in LA and SD right here in Vegas. The birria was extremely tender and had a lot of depth in the consomé. A lot of spots in SD and LA have it stewed too long or boiled too heavily, so while it's tender, it ends up dry. This spot nailed it. The fish taco was solid and perfectly seasoned. The al pastor was alright, not nearly as good as what you'd get carved off the trompo at street stands in LA. My favorite dish was the ceviche, which had a lot of depth and smokiness from the chiles. I'll definitely be back!

    When I came to visit a friend in town, he told me he wanted to go here and another place. When I looked it up I was delighted to see that I had already bookmarked it as a place to try. We had a pup with us and in the yelp review we saw that they were dog friendly. When we got there, we didn't see any outdoor seating so I popped in to see if we could bring her in or if we needed to get take out. To our relief they told us we could bring her in as long as she stayed under the table and was on her leash. No problem. There are several tables allowing for many group sizes with the bathroom outside, which was very clean. We ordered a bunch of stuff to share: Cilantro lime shrimp Barbacoa beef Birria tacos Apple empanada We got extra blue corn tortillas that were served warm. I got a Horchata matcha which was refreshing. The food came out quickly and it was all very good. The tortillas were soft and warm. The barbacoa was super tender and flavorful. The birria is some of the best I've had in a very very long while. The shrimp were well cooked as well. The apple empanada was delicious! The apple pieces were diced into tiny cubes with a yummy masa wrapping coated in sugar. Everyone who came by and helped were super friendly and welcoming. Such a great experience. Definitely get off the strip and check this place out!!

    Tried Milpa recently and it was a good experience. It was busy when we were there. Small place so there will be a wait if busy hours. You can really tell they put a lot of care into the ingredients--the flavors feel fresh, authentic, and thoughtfully put together. Presentation is great but smaller entrees than we expected. The tortillas are a standout (definitely don't skip them), and everything we ordered had that homemade, elevated touch. It's not your typical quick taco spot--it feels more intentional and quality-focused. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations. It's a great place if you're looking for something a little more unique and refined while still feeling comfortable. A bit on the pricier side compared to standard taco spots. But overall a good meal to try if around.

    Matcha Concha super soft and delicious

    food here never disappoints!!!! service is quick, and ambience is very relaxing. One of my most recent favorite drinks is their guava and lime drink.

    Small but it has a spacious and modern feel . The food was so good I tried three different tacos: shrimp, birria, and barbacoa all my favorites. You know it's good when you see grease and indeed has so much good flavor. I tried the horchata and would say it's a must try. I also tried the probiotic and prebiotic drinks. This is a gem of a place! Service was friendly and fast.

    I finally checked Milpa off my Yelp bookmarks, and now I'm wondering why I waited so long! It was absolutely worth the wait. We started with the chips and salsa, and the salsas were on point. My favorite was the red, and I loved that they were served warm, it makes such a difference in flavor compared to the cold stuff most places serve. The queso birria tacos were delicious the braised beef was incredibly juicy, and the consomé had a great flavorful kick to it. I also really enjoyed the suadero tacos, which were so tender. But the real showstopper? The beer-batter fish tacos. Wow! Every flavor combined perfectly. The space itself is super cute, clean, modern, and simple with nice plant accents. Plus, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I'll easily be a regular here from now on!

    Finally got to visit and wondering why it took me so long. If you didn't know, Milpa is a top 100 place to visit and that's for good reason Ordered to go and the service was still fast I tried most of their tacos the standouts were Fish taco - got the beer battered Mahi Mahi. Solid and it's a must order if you like fish tacos Ribeye Asada - meat excellent but I would caution the spicy salsa paired with this. It is a creeper and will recommend getting that on the side if you don't like spicy. Queso Birria - this might go down as one of the best and cleanest birria tacos I've had. The consome goes with everything. It's not super greasy or salty. It's a great balance of flavors. The birria meat had excellent flavor and the cheese that blanketed the meat inside is the perfect complement Love that everything is made down to the tortilla. Milpa has that farm to table feel that a lot of us want.

    Pomegranate Paloma was amazing

    If you're the kind of person who gets a little flutter in your heart when you see mushroom or cauliflower tacos on a menu, let me introduce you to your new happy place: Milpa. It's not to say carnivores aren't welcome as they actually have a ton of meaty choices, it's just that any restaurant that makes cauliflower a delicious showstopper gets my attention. They clearly put real effort into building flavor. A lot of the dishes come wrapped in their homemade blue corn masa tortillas, which are so good you might briefly consider committing a felony to secure an extra one. I'm not saying I would mug a grandma for a blue masa tortilla... but if there's a grandma out there casually carrying one in her purse, she should probably keep an eye on me. These tortillas are that good. While I was there, I noticed that Phil Rosenthal from Somebody Feed Phil has stopped by and sung their praises. honestly, no shock there. The food is creative without being precious, bold without being showy. Just really, really solid. The vibe is great neighborhood energy -- casual, relaxed, the kind of place where you order at the counter but still feel genuinely taken care of. It's not white-tablecloth, hushed-dining-room service, but friendly, attentive, and warm. Also do not skip the drinks. I had a pomegranate paloma that was dangerously delicious -- bright, refreshing, and the perfect companion to those blue masa masterpieces. If you're visiting Vegas, this is absolutely worth the 15 minute drive off the Strip. And if you live in Vegas You probably already know. If not, your taco standards are about to change.

    Food is delicious and healthy. Staff is so friendly and hospitable. Restaurant is immaculately clean. Definitely a local place to give some love to.

    We visited on Friday, with a party of two, for lunch and it was a very nice experience. We arrived and grabbed a table in the dining area. The place is relatively small and fills up fast. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. We went with the Birria Tacos, Barbacoa Beef Bowl, Potatoes and a Paloma Sampler. The food was excellent. They label it as healthy, but the tacos were crisp, cheesy and dripping with delicious grease. The Palomas were tasty and strong. The service was good, the waitress was friendly and responsive. Overall, a great place for Mexican fare.

    Super friendly service, delicious (albeit a tad bit spicy) chilaquiles, and the best cafe de olla I've found in Vegas!

    Prices are on the higher end but you pay for what you get for. Eating here always transports me right back to Mexico City. Food here is always the highest quality, and their housemade tortillas are unbeatable. Their birria tacos are my favorite in town, and they have some delicious and healthy bowls if you're not in the mood for tacos - although I wish the portions were a bit bigger for the bowls.

    Today during lunch I was looking for a bite to eat and remembered a friend suggesting Milpa's, and I'm so glad I paid attention. Cute and cozy spot right on Durango. Everyone was so pleasant when we arrived. We ordered the birria tacos and they did not disappoint. They came with a side of the most flavorful consommé ever--so good I couldn't resist taking a few sips. The wait time was short, which was a plus. I finished lunch with a dulce de leche latte, which was the perfect touch to end the meal.

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like flour taquitos that would cross contaminate gluten free corn tortilla chips? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

Michael was my bartender/server, and although he mentioned he was fairly new to the team, he was friendly, attentive, and did a great job taking care of me. I ordered my usual favorites: the Daddy Wings and Chicken Taquitos. I've tried some of the other menu items in the past, including the nachos, but sometimes I just want a few snacks and these two dishes are always a good choice. The wings were delicious as usual, and the taquitos hit the spot. Of course, the beer was ice cold too. One thing that stood out was the customer service. I had a question about points from another Nacho Daddy location, and the manager was kind enough to help me sort things out. I'd also like to thank Paul for helping me with the app and making sure everything was taken care of. Overall, this continues to be one of my favorite stops in Downtown Fremont. Good food, friendly people, cold drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere make it a great place to unwind on a cool Las Vegas afternoon.

Our server was also fantastic, attentive and friendly throughout the night. The food was next-level. They must have a new chef because this is hands-down the best Mexican food we've had in Las Vegas. My carne asada chef's special tacos were incredibly juicy and packed with flavor (unlike the dry ones you often get elsewhere). The queso fundido and fresh guacamole were excellent, my wife's shrimp entrée was outstanding, and the flan was truly unique, my daughter said it was the best she's ever had. Every dish was a hit, and the cocktails were fantastic too. Everyone in our group raved about their meals.
