i am not going to say it is the best mexican resteraunt around, but it is good. it is a small resteraunt with inside and outdoor seating. the price is really good, and it is easy to order take out with a 5 to 10 minute wait. the express burrito, nachos, veggy burrito, and taco salad are the best on the menu. i would recommend if you want something quick and simple, and not expensive. it is located near Milpitas High School and Nob Hill. Go Trojans!!!! read more

Hey pretty good for "express" food! When we ordered here for the first time we were like hmm how come we've never been here??? We were impressed with the quality and taste for what it is. The pricing wasn't too bad and the quality was better than I expected. Even though we were an initial fan we haven't been back yet lol. I don't mind coming here again. We had a good experience. Reading other people's bad experience kinda scares me but hey that's everywhere right? They have really old school pictures on the wall and it's so cool to see prom pics from like the 1990s and it brings back so much memories from that amazing decade. There are chairs and tables so you can dine in if you want. There's also those toy dispensers where you put in 4 quarters and you get a toy in a plastic ball container thingy. Overall I remember liking this place and wondered why I never came here and now I'm wondering why I haven't been back lol. read more

I was first introduced to this place back in my sophomore year of high school. It was a walking distance from Milpitas High School. I would usually get a California Burrito or the Carne Asada Fries. The California Burrito is a burrito with french fries, sour cream, and meat. Its soooo good and the size of it is decent. The Carne Asada Fries is just fries, sour cream, strips of lettuces, and meat. You could also change the fries into chips but I prefer fries. These two items are my absolute favorite. The portion of both is decent for the price its worth. read more

In a hurry before work, I made a quick stop and ordered food to go for two. I was hoping to be able to order lengua, however they do not have it on the menu, so I settled for two carne asada burritos with an order of chips and salsa. The chips were stale, (so I put them in a microwave to try and freshen them up, didn't help) and the hot sauce was mild. The overall portion size was very small, had I known the portion was so small I would have placed four orders. As I began to eat my burrito, I was very disappointed in the taste of the meat; The meat tasted as if it had been seasoned with Middle Eastern spices and not the traditional Hispanic spices as I had expected. My coworker and I both threw out our food as we were highly disappointed. Had we wanted Middle Eastern food, it might have worked, but we wanted traditional Mexican food. I found out about this place compliments of Yelp, however I have no plans on returning. read more

So I ordered the carne asada fries from this spot cause the pictures on here looked pretty appetizing. But man, was I wrong! The fries were undercooked.the meat seemed like it had been warmed up not cooked. The sour cream on top must have been bad cause it was actually sour, etc.. All I can say is don't ever order the fries from here. You're gonna get sick off of them. And too top it off they go for 10$ which isn't a worthy price for the mediocre order I recieved. Just throw it away like I did. read more

One of them doesn't even need to take my order since he knows that I only get one kind of burrito. It's awesome to walk right in and have him punch in my burrito order just the way I like it.

I'm from the area and actually went to the high school behind this joint. Lemme tell ya that I only came for the beef Chimichanga. That dish was yum yum. But I recently grabbed one after acquiring other tastes from more authentic Mexican restaurants along the years, and I wasn't as happy as I was before. Might I suggest the Taqueria Place on Park Victoria and Calaveras. Now those burritos are super. However, the place is still thriving on its friendly service. So that is a major plus. and the soda cans at the Nob Hill down the plaza are $0.25 each. Bonus Points! read more

In High school this used to be one of the solid places to go to eat, and I remembered the burritos being fantastic. I think my taste buds have outgrown this place, because today my chicken burrito was large but very unsatisfying. The memories of a great burrito was replaced today by a very typical burrito that I can even get at taco bell, but a little larger. It was full of beans and rice, and little bits of shredded chicken that really had no taste. What is great is that this place was one of the first places I experienced Mexican Food, and for that I am grateful. read more

We ordered food from here for lunch today for work. I haven't been here in years but remember the burritos are too huge for me so I opted for a chicken Taco Salad instead. The salad came in a tostada shell (just a little greasy but not bad) with mostly lettuce (but it was crisp and I didn't see any rusted pieces), shredded chicken (a bit bland tasting but much better after adding salsa), sour cream, and a slice of tomato. I'm used to ordering Taco Salads that come with many items - beans, onions, guacamole, etc. but I liked the plainness of this one. I still couldn't finish it but got closer than I ever had with a burrito. read more

staff was very polite but the food just sucked. Horchata has more water than milk in it (should be all milk) and i Can't taste any cinnamon. the chicken tacos had real chicken meat on them but there was no flavor tasted like chicken broth And was only roped with lettuce and a sprinkle of shredded American cheese. The California burrito had more fries in it than anything else and the sour cream looks like cottage cheese which means it is spoiled meat has no flovor to it either. Will not come here again highly disappointed. read more

Had never been there before but needed a quick bite. The service was good and they were very friendly. Prices were reasonable and the food was pretty good. I had the chicken enchilada platter and the chicken was fresh white meat and sauce was good. If I lived in area I would probably be there often. An old man came in right after I placed my order and said he wanted the usual. He and the owner were joking around and you could tell he came there often and I don't blame him. read more

I have visiting this for about a year and I really dont care for the children in high school who hang there and use foul language. This place and the one next door don't seem to care about their customers who are new. Just the children who are in the High School near by and the 24 Hour Fitness next door. If you are new to the area or new to this Burrito Shop then check out the one on Milpitas Blvd near the police station. they Rock. and it is original food. read more

I've been here so many times after high school. One of my buddies used to work there and it was THE place to go after school for food. I went back a few days ago and the taste is still the same. Highly recommended read more

Hidden gem Mexican restaurant - kind of like summer tent vibes from the cars movie…read more Everything food wise was above average, the flavors were balanced, textures were good, portion sizes were just right. Couldn't find major flaws with any of the items we ordered. Staff were super busy on a Sunday lunch rush but were still attentive and kind Standout was the chicken enchilada - usually I'm not a fan (my reference el Torito) but the seasoning was quite good and texture still had some bite to it , not too mushy ALSO the beef taco was JUICY and flavorful and taco shell actually had a bit of crisp from some searing. The Birria dip itself was not super flavorful but did add a nice dopamine boost from the fat. I think their tacos are probably pretty fire would come back for that Chimichanga was yum I haven't had this before but I love that the burrito had a slight crisp to it bc it was fried. Al pastor was also quite nice and came thru above the guac and sour cream and salsa and rice. Their refried beans are so nice and creamy. Does not taste canned u can also see some bean chunks still. Chips when I was there kinda stale but it's free and also comes with a taco sauce bar u can get onions cilantro salsa so pretty good Prices are kinda elevated not the cheapest a single taco is $5-6. My total bill for 2 people was 67 Looks like everything is also made to order so there is a little bit of wait

So I had to borrow a photo my mother-in-law took of her meal and one from a friend who shared hers. Both said their food was delicious! My hubby and I each had a birria taco, and they were so flavorful. He also tried the lengua taco and said it was incredibly tender. I had the tripas taco, and it was one of the best tripas I've had. So crispy yet tender, and seasoned perfectly! And if you see menudo on the weekend, try it! It's my favorite thing on the menu. I also love that they still have their open nachos bar. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, too. Beyond the great food, Taqueria Las Vegas is truly a Milpitas gem. They consistently support our local programs and give back to the community. A huge thank you for sponsoring our Milpitas High Marching Band fundraiser! We really appreciate businesses like yours that invest in our students and our community. If you haven't tried them yet, I encourage you to stop by. Great food, wonderful people, and a very generous local business. One of the best taquerias in town!

However, fall in line on the left side near where the al pastor trunk is located. Lines can get long because it's only one guy taking in the order and making the food.

Starting from how far they traveled about 60 miles to make my graduation amazing, to the food quality, and to how communicative they were.

They provided utensils and other things that no other service was. You will not be disappointed I promise. Will be using for every major pastry moving forward!! Thanks so much

After driving by this food truck numerous times, I finally decided to give it a shot. There was…read moresomeone else whom had just ordered and so I asked him if he had any recommendations. He suggested the burrito al pastor. I opted for the super burrito version of the al pastor since it included avocado. The burrito in itself was okay. It was not bad but it lacked enough flavor for me to want to go out of my way to visit again. I dissected the burrito to figure out what was missing, and I think the meat was under seasoned. The meat was good to eat by itself but way under seasoned for a large burrito. On a positive note, I did think that this food truck did a good job making the tortilla crispy, which added a nice texture with every bite. Tip: skip the avocado. I usually prefer avocado because it gives the burrito the bit of creaminess to bring everything together, but there were only two or three thin slices in the order. Also skip the horchata. It lacked cinnamon.

During my recent visit, we got the carne asada quesadilla and tripa burrito. The quesadilla was large in size and came with fresh veggies on the side (shredded lettuce, jalapeno, sliced cucumber and radish), but there wasn't much cheese inside, so little that I thought they forgot to put cheese in it at all... I eventually found a tiny sprinkle melted and hardened in the tortilla, could only see it if I looked closely, and definitely couldn't taste it. Luckily the meat in both the burrito and quesadilla had good flavor even if a bit dry, and the green sauce added a much needed kick. It was a satisfying enough meal, since we were hungry. Service was a bit slow with only a few customers, our order took about 15-20 minutes to be ready.

My wife, oldest son and I went to La Milpa again for a delish and very satisfying lunch yesterday…read more We arrived around 1:00pm, so their lunch crowd had thinned-out, so we were able to get a table quickly. We also found a parking space close-by, which was awesome. My wife wanted to try something new, so she ordered the Camarones Rancheros with a side salad, rice and beans. Our son ordered a large Combination #13 (Chicken Tostada, Chicken Taco, rice & beans. I had a large Combination #8 (Chicken Taco & Chicken Enchilada with rice and beans. We also always enjoy their tortilla chips and their two salsas. Our son finished his meal, but my wife and I weren't able to, so we took our leftovers home to enjoy later.

My husband had mentioned concerns about the service before, but I hadn't personally noticed any issues until today. In the past, I usually visited with my Mexican family. This time, I came with my husband, who is not Mexican, and I noticed that our server seemed to overlook him unless he was actively placing an order. The most surprising moment was when she removed his plate before he had finished eating. That really caught me off guard and left us feeling awkward. I hope this was an isolated incident because the food has always been enjoyable.

The sauce on the tacos were quite tasty. The burrito was filling, good portioned meat. Service Friendly, fast. But kept forgetting extra requests. Asked for hot sauce and jalapeño. one time forgot the hot sauce, another time forgot the jalapeño. Cost No price on the menu. Ordered a burrito and a taco, $16 paid with cash. Another time, $17. maybe because the chicarron cost more? not sure. 2 Tacos were $7. Now, paying with cash, the amount asked was the amount to pay. When I paid for the two tacos with credit card, I was charged additional 10%. Tipping practice Not asked. But that extra charge on CC without letting me know first was not nice. I'll probably go again but will pay in cash. Though $17 for a regular burrito and a taco is pretty steep for a quick lunch.
