Chilaquiles, Tetelas & Papas
Marcia D.

We really enjoyed eating breakfast here. It is small and quaint place, showcasing art and products from Oaxaca. The menu is inspired in the gastronomy of that state, so don't be surprised when you read "blue-corn" masa, actually, give it a try. From the Café de Olla to the Tetelas, every dish is delicious, service is fast and attentive.

After seeing so many people raving about this place we had to come and try for ourselves! It feels very modern, clean and earth tones aesthetics when you walk in! The gal at the cash register was very nice and helped us choose the tacos we were uncertain about getting and gave great recommendations! We ended up trying almost all the tacos! They were out of the ribeye tacos so we gotta come back just for those but by far the best was the birria tacos with consumé and the Barbacoa tacos! lots of flavor and came out hot! 10/10 would recommend to all my friends and family!

Yum! Fresh tortillas and great bowls! Taco making was so good! What a fun find for Sunday night. It's counter service but they bring you the meal and clean up after! Churros was a good way to end the night

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!

Beef barbacoa plate

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!!

Delicious  amazing breakfast!!

This meal is CRACK!!! It's so freakin' delicious, I can eat two more!! I had it for breakfast, but thank God it's served all day. I'll be back.

Vegetarian tacos

I just moved to the area and want to try everything...this was my first choice, and it hit the mark! Everything was fresh and inspired, with complex, layered flavors. The chips were crisp and lightly seasoned, the guacamole was perfectly chunky and bright, and the corn was creamy and just slightly smokey. My favorite was the mushroom taco- the blue corn tortilla set the stage for the savory, meaty mushrooms. I used the green salsa on everything because it was that versatile. The guava drink hit the spot on this hot day as well. Excited to try more of the menu!

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!

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.

Iced HORCHATA COLD BREW
Katie C.

Low key embarrassed to admit that I went here for brunch twice in one week but y'all...Milpa is really that good. I went here on a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint. Out of the two dishes I tried I'd say the Huevos Rancheros was my favorite but the Chilaquiles were just as great. You can't go wrong with either option. Service was very friendly too. Staff was accommodating to any questions I had and were quite chatty. You order at the counter and they deliver your items to your table. Here's to stopping by for a potential third visit this month!

Celeste L.

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.

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
Tom C.

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.

I'm not a huge asada fan, so this might be my bias. The tacos weren't bad. But, I wasn't blown away. I think I was too hungry to be objective. I would probably rank them as "ok." Some things to consider: 1. The place has a cafeteria feel. I prefer a restaurant style, sit down, and have a waitress come to serve me. 2. No chips and salsa. 3. It was crowded when we went. It was probably about midnight on a Monday or Tuesday. I can only imagine how hectic it is on a weekend.

Title: The Best Birria I've Had... Period!…read more (5/5 stars) If you're a birria lover, stop what you're doing and head to Birria Bite. This place may be a small tavern-style spot with just enough seating, but don't let the size fool you. The moment you walk in, the aroma of the birria comes rolling out of the kitchen like a raging bull--it lets you know you're in the right place! They offer both goat and beef birria, and the flavor is absolutely incredible. I've only been eating birria for about five years, but in that time I've made it a mission to try it everywhere I travel. I've had birria from Las Vegas, California, Nebraska, Florida, and Texas, and I can honestly say Birria Bite is hands down the best I've had. I always order the Quesabirria Combo, and it never disappoints. The consommé is rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned--good enough to sip on by itself. And even though it's outside my normal diet, I can't leave without getting the Piña pineapple drink. It's sweet, refreshing, and absolutely fire. The hospitality is always A1, the staff makes you feel welcome every visit, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions you receive. This is one of those hidden gems you'll keep coming back to. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. Don't meet me there... beat me there... or be square!

MAR Y TIERRA BURRITO - It's still the lightest burrito that provides the most size. I can't say enough good things about the aioli that they use to add flavor profiles to the shredded vegetables used to add body to the burrito. The steak and shrimp used here were good as usual, and the cheese added in is always a welcome surprise. Pescado Taco - The grilled fish taco is one of their better tacos. It's a meaty fish bite, and you get the "signature" slaw + avocado slice. Baja Taco - Most of their tacos are given the sauce + slaw combo along with the protein. I feel that the baja improves in my taco ranking depending on how much fish I get per taco. The batter is amazing and it's really a question if you want to eat fried fish or not. Camaron Taco - Crunchy shrimp, and very good slaw. But I feel that the shrimp is best paired with the steak, thankfully, they have a mar y tierra taco, which I think is the better thing to order. Ambiance: It's one of their bigger branches, so finding a table isn't difficult. Everything else inside the store is stock standard to all the branches I've been to. Service: You order, pay, and they call your name to pick up your food. Straightforward.
