    100% please support this business!!! We witnessed something so heartwarming when me and my friends went... someone came in without enough money, and without hesitation the staff made sure they were fed, no questions asked. Their generosity really says something about their restaurant and you'd really want to support these kind of businesses!! They've only been open for 3 years, but they already feel like a place worth supporting over and over again. I haven't tried their full menu yet, but their matcha is amazing, they had oat and almond milk(no extra charge for sub). My friend ordered the burrito and rated it a solid 10/10!! Parking can be tricky, but we were lucky we got meter parking. They have small bar table situation inside, and good amount of table outside. I'm so happy this cute little place was recommended and I'll definitely be back to try the food for myself. Businesses like this truly deserve all the support. (:

    Breakfast Burrito with brisket
    Lisa W.

    My coworker brought me here and it did not disappoint. Hands down one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. The vibe was super chill. They seem to know the customers by name very personable. I'm a forever customer.

    Found this place while walking around the area and decided to try. Amazing food the breakfast burrito was great, the crispy tots added a nice crunch and the spicy aioli complemented it nicely. I got a strawberry matcha which was 5 dollars and it was one of the best I have had around LA. The matcha flavor was strong and it was not overly sweet. Best of all it was a great size for the price (about 20 ounces). The ambiance was super friendly and welcoming and the inside is so pretty and community oriented. Will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu!

    Everything from start to finish was so delicious. A good portion of food is served, worth every dollar. Service was fast, especially during our lunch hour . They had a nice corner where you ca sit outside by the street . Definitely will be coming back

    Breakfast Burrito w/ Brisket
    Jono M.

    I am impatiently waiting to go back to Milpa from the moment I left. Not only because there was so much on the menu that sparked curiosity--their dishes are supremely delicious. The breakfast burrito had been highly recommended to me and it was phenomenal but what really stole the show for me were the breakfast tacos. I enjoyed the very last bite of them just as much as the first, something that is rarely found. Be sure to visit if you are looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a solid meal with someone you love or solo. The team here is on their sh-- and know what they're doing. Like I said, I'm counting down the days until I return. 10/10

    Pork belly breakfast Burrito
    Marilyn M.

    I currently have a birria and pork belly breakfast burrito addiction. I have been going every wknd, worth the walk. The burritos are delicious with the aioli sauce, really brings the burrito flavors together. It's busy during the wknds, compare to the week there is seating inside and out. Love the outdoor area, as it is very chill. Will def continue coming.

    Pozole tostadita
    Angelica L.

    Just visited Milpa and ordered the pozole to go and wow. It tastes so delicious the flavor is so good, the chunks of meat are cut perfectly into squares its nice and tender. I like how they give you all the sides you need to enjoy your pozole. The tostadas taste nice and fresh and the chile de aceite is very spicy. Enjoying this pozole and can't wait to go back and try the strawberry matcha and other delicious foods they have.

    Tasted nasty and gross!

    I came to this place to try the brisket breakfast burrito. My friend saw the lady who was preparing the food. She got distracted by one of the workers and dropped a towel on the floor. Instead of discarding the dirty towel, she picked it back up and wiped the counter where the food is being prepared. She put our tortilla's on top of the counter and continued preparing our food. The burrito had the plastic chemical taste and GROSS . Horrible integrity and courtesy from the employee. I will never go back to this place. Train your workers properly!!! Do better! You deserve zero stars!

    I've been waiting all my life and searching high and low for the most flavorful, sweet cinnamon and orange aroma infused cafe de olla in Los Angeles...and guess what? I found it here at Milpa! (Silence because I'm savoring my cup of cafe de olla) Consider this my shortest and sweetest review yet.

    Brisket and Birria breakfast tacos
    Eric A.

    great service with a smile. parking can be a bit tight on weekends. the outdoor patio seating is enjoyable if there isn't too much commotion or traffic. if you like fluffy tortillas you'll enjoy the tacos. the birria was definitely the winner in terms of meat choices for me. the pickled onions were a bit sweet and our mint drink was good but also a bit heavy on the sugar for me personally. i've had the birria breakfast burrito before and really enjoyed that too. will def return and change up the order next time.

    Rosa R.

    In the mood for breakfast burrito - I heard this is the place to be! We ordered the pork belly and longaniza burritos and one taco - deliciousness! Love the salsa, definitely homemade and the agua fresca The service is outstanding and I appreciate the variety of coffee options. Looking forward to coming back and trying more on their menu!

    What's left of my Mexican Hot Chocolate Latte w/Almond milk & an extra shot.

    Of the 15 different naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles) I've tried in Koreatown, Jinsol stands…read morealone at the top. Firstly, the restaurant staff is so warm and inviting. The space is clean and tidy. The environment really had me missing Seoul. And what better way to comfort a heart yearning for home, than authentic Korean food. The homemade buckwheat noodles have the perfect chewiness to breakage ratio that you'll go absolutely crazy for. I prefer the spicy naengmyeon because they've hit that delicate balance of heat and flavor that perfectly compliment the natural sweetness of the noodles. For anyone looking for a hearty meal, I'd recommend the combo, you get the cold noodles and an order of beef short ribs pork or chicken for about $30. My brother is a bodybuilder, so he goes for the Bibimbop (hot stone bowl with rice veggies and protein) and I'm guilty of stealing a few bites from his plate. The banchan has a freshness you can taste in every dish. If you're like me and in need of quality homemade kimchee, look no further. Everything at Jinsol Gukbap reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The amount of care that goes into preparing these meals really shines through. The balance of flavors is so deliberate, I can't call this a humble comfort food restaurant. The folks at Jinsol are true masters of their craft and I can say with confidence I'll be coming back again and again and again

    If you're craving Korean food late night, there's no wait here and the food's great. Good service…read moreand there's valet parking, so you don't have to stress about finding parking. I recommend coming here for their kimchi stew and side dishes!

    It's very possible that this is the world's best chicken noodle soup. Rich and pure chicken flavor,…read moreperfectly chewy knife-cut noodles that likely cook in the stock so the starch releases to give it a beautiful texture. Also got the oyster porridge. Very solid dish, but that kalguksu reigns supreme. Valet parking in the lot will run you $5-6, and the best time to go is within an hour of opening. The place fills quickly. The team works efficiently to turn tables without making you feel rushed. Highly recommended.

I tried coming 15 minutes before opening on a Sunday during lunch time and that helped a lot! Would recommend coming during the day if you want to avoid waits. Some of our favorites: -Chicken Kalguksu: I get this every time! The broth is amazing, have never had such a rich, flavorful chicken broth before. You can taste all the herbs, seasonings, and time they took to prepare. The broth is a little on the thicker end, but super filling. -Seafood Kalguksu: the broth is so flavorful and it comes filled to the brim with all types of seafood! The spice actually pairs really well with the seafood too. If you want a spicy stew, this is it! Noodles are thick and chewy too. -Bossam: so yummy! I wish I could get it more often but it's a huge portion, so come with a group so you can try it and the noodles! Everything is quality- the bossam slices, the lettuce, the toppings on the wide. Chefs kiss! My only small gripe is the portions are so big that when I come with one other person, we only have the stomach capacity to eat two dishes! Always excited to come back and try more.

We also added beef brisket since my friend wasn't a big fan of cartilage - more for me! The pot itself wasn't too deep, though there was a good portion of protein cartilage. Also important to note that rice was NOT included! The brisket add on came as a pre-cooked brisket that was added in after, as it didn't initially fit in the pot. The staff member told us at the time that broth refills were free. However, when it came time for refills, they said it was only one time - poor communication. Paying was fairly straightforward, but for future visits, I'd likely just come for their lunch special sullongtang after this experience.
