" Milpa has become my go-to place for Mexican food! The flavors are authentic with a fresh twist. I absolutely loved the Mole Colorado; it was the highlight of my meal! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, a great spot for family dinners. Even if the portions could be a bit bigger, the quality of the food makes it totally worth it. Can't wait to eat here again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm always on the lookout for places that serve authentic Mexican cuisine, and I think I've found a gem in Milpa! Their Quesabirria is superb—so much flavor and the tortillas are so fresh. The horchata is a must-try as well. The environment is warm and vibrant, making it a perfect spot for dinner with friends. One note: I do think they could offer bigger portions considering the price point, but overall a great place to enjoy some quality food! " (*Curated Review*)

" How does a place like Milpa leave you feeling both excited and slightly disappointed? I loved the ambiance—it was vibrant and cozy! The drinks were great, but when it came to food, I thought some dishes needed more seasoning. The empanadas were good but not extraordinary. The service was polite, so I'll give them that. Overall, worth a visit but manage expectations about the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Milpa truly offers a blend of authenticity and pleasure. We had the Quesadillas and the Tacos Al Pastor that tasted like they came straight from Mexico! The only downside was the slight wait we had for drinks to arrive. The atmosphere is lively, perfect for a night out. Definitely one of Calgary's better options for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Milpa was delightful! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. We shared a variety of dishes and each one was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The Quesabirria was our favorite, paired with the perfect consomme. The vibrant atmosphere made our dinner feel special, and the staff were attentive without being overwhelming. I highly recommend their cocktails as well, they really complement the meal. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Milpa is a treasure! The cocktails were some of the best I've had, especially enjoyed the unique flavors. The tacos were flavorful but could be a bit more generous in portion sizes, especially given the price. The atmosphere really felt like you were enjoying a night out in Mexico, which made the dining experience special. Definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Milpa felt like a culinary adventure! The cocktails were creatively crafted, and I particularly enjoyed the Coconut Ceviche. The flavors danced on my palate! While the tacos were good, the portions left me a bit hungry. The service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a spot I’d recommend to others for a fun night out! " (*Curated Review*)
