Excellent happy hour margaritas! We also tried the salsa fresca, guacamole and corn dip. Our mains were a sampling of tacos - with the carnitas and pescado being standout favourites. Delicious, fast, fresh.

Our experience at Milpa was quite pleasant. It’s a restaurant with an intimate vibe. Charming without being over the top. The Latin American music selection made me feel like I was at one of my uncle’s homes. We came in ready to try several dishes from the menu, and every single one was delicious. The service was impeccable: warm, attentive, and completely unpretentious. The dishes were served right on time, with no unnecessary waiting. Even though the restaurant was close to closing, we never felt rushed or that they wanted to wrap things up quickly. Everything felt thoughtful and unhurried. It felt like being welcomed into someone’s home, relaxed, cared for, and well-fed. We’ll definitely be back.

First time visiting and the tacos were delicious. While there was a good choice of margaritas, I was hoping the drinks menu also included a Mezcalita. It didn’t but the bartender said he could make it and it was just like I had in Cabo San Lucas. 👍
