    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    Chilaquiles
    Adriana G.

    This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas, and perhaps ever. I grew up in CDMX, and this place reminds me of home and delicious breakfast. Their tortillas, beans, and all the ingredients taste fresh and carefully selected. Their salsas have the best recipes, from the salsa for the chilaquiles to their tetelas. The mushroom tetela is my favorite. I love the variety of mushrooms and the subtle chili oil salsa de arbol. I love their huevos rancheros. I am sad they no longer have their bakery, but I'm glad they still have their amazing coffee selections. Their drip coffee is perfect, as is their Mexican mocha and their matcha horchata. I always take a jamaica water to go. It's refreshing and tastes freshly made. Their potatoes are fantastic. Their birria is a great add-on. Their tacos are always delicious. The frijoles de olla taste like my family's homemade beans. And their lunch menu options are also so healthy and filling. I always think the dishes here won't fill me up, and I'm always proven wrong. They carefully balance proteins, carbs, and fats to make their dishes delicious, beautiful, and healthy. The staff here is always so kind and welcoming. They go out of their way to make sure you're treated well and leave satisfied. It's a pretty cozy place and they manage to get everyone set with their meals quickly, and moving along. I've never had trouble finding a table even when it's at its fullest. I cannot recommend this place enough. I love this restaurant, and I hope they expand to a second location someday.

    Best tacos in Vegas and rated top 28 in US. Kimberly is awesome! Literally bring everyone from out of town here

    Ani L.

    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!

    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.

    Do you sell fresh masa? If so, do I need to put an order in for 15 pounds on Dec. 21st?

    Yes we do! We can accommodate your order. Please call 702-247-4147 a week prior to when you need it.

    Is there a dj there on weekends?

    I don't believe so. It's not that type of establishment

    Is there happy hour?

    Yes there is! From 4-7pm. Enjoy half off beers and cocktails

    Is this a good place to study at and if so are there outlets available?

    Do you sell Pinole by the pound?

    We don’t sell it but we can. Let us know how much you would like and we can accommodate. Thank you

    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.

    Hi Rachel, most of our menu is gluten free. The only think we have that has gluten is our pancakes. Let us know when you want to come in and we can make sure nothing is cross contaminated. Our corn tortillas are gluten free as well.

    Is this place dog friendly?

    Yes it is. It is a small restaurant but dogs are always welcome.

It is like any typical taqueria, nothing really extraordinary. I ordered asada tacos and was a bit unimpressed. There was a lot of meat but it was very dry and flavorless. I appreciated how juicy the limes were and the salsa verde was nice, but it was all very underwhelming. It was about $13 for the three tacos, so I expected them to be a bit better than what they were. Despite being a little busy, the food came out pretty quick. This spot is quite dingy. There is a lot of open seating but it is dirty and unkempt. When we were eating there, there was a homeless man seated inside screaming, ripping up newspapers and throwing them around, and playing with a lighter. Although there is an understanding that this is not a fine dining establishment, I think it is a bare minimum standard to host an environment where guests feel safe. It is very loud in there and very casual. It is accommodating for both small and large parties without prior reservation. Maybe the other menu items are better, but if you are looking for tacos, this would not be the best option.

Definitely recommend going when they first open because otherwise it doesn't matter the time or day of the week, the lines are extremely long! Love how spacious the restaurant and how organized it is! Once inside the restaurant, there are several lines and you just line up according to which meat and item you want. The longest lines are definitely the asada and adobada (pork)! Once you reach the front of the line, you just tell the staff which and how many of the item you want, as well as any customizations to it. After you get your order, you just head to the cashier line and paying is so easy and convenient! Pricing is reasonable. - Tacos, tostadas, taco aztecas - $4.12 - Sopes, quesadillas, vampiras, & mulas - $7.54. - fries with meat - $22.18+ - soft drinks - $3.31 Arrived at 11am on Sunday and it was already super crowded. Stood in the asada line for at least half an hour but the wait was so worth it! Got 3 Asada Tacos and the tortilla was so soft, hot, and fresh. It was stuffed with plenty of tender beef! The beef was packed with flavor and marinated so well! The pico de gallo was so delicious, as well as the salsa and guac. The Horchata was ok and nothing special since it wasn't made from scratch like the phenomenal tacos! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and my food. Definitely would recommend and return!
