" Disappointing experience overall. Ordered the tacos and found them to be lacking in flavor. It’s clear they have a loyal customer base, but unfortunately, I just didn’t get that same experience I was hoping for. The staff was friendly at least, but they seemed overwhelmed and rushed. I won't be rushing back anytime soon, but perhaps it’s worth trying again on a less busy night. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're searching for authentic tacos, look no further! This taqueria is a hidden gem. I particularly loved their tacos al pastor which were packed with flavor and freshness. The meat was tender, and the salsas they provide add just the right kick. It's a little hole in the wall, so don’t expect fancy decor, but the food makes up for it. On the downside, it gets pretty busy during the late-night hours, which might slow down service a bit. However, the wait is well worth it for such delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Milpa is my favorite place to grab tacos. The elote is one of the best sides to accompany the tacos, and you won't find a more welcoming atmosphere. Jennifer, who often serves us, is always cheerful and remembers our orders, which adds a personal touch. We’ve had the tacos al pastor and the birria tacos multiple times and they never disappoint. It's a bit of a drive for me, but worth every mile for that authentic taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" I come here quite often and absolutely love the flautas! They are crispy, and filled with just the right amount of filling without being too greasy. The salsa is a must-have too! The staff is always friendly, though the service can sometimes be a bit slow when they are busy. The atmosphere is charming in its own way, reflecting a true taqueria vibe. I’ve never had a bad experience here, and the prices are reasonable for the quality you receive. Definitely a spot I will continue to visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Milpa is a definite go-to for authentic tacos. I’ve tried several of their menu items, but the barbacoa tacos are a revelation! The flavors are vibrant, and the service is usually fast. However, I did experience a longer wait time during my last visit, which was a bit frustrating since I had limited time. Nonetheless, I love this place and will continue to come back for the food quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" Whenever I’m in Waco, this taqueria is a must-visit! Their tacos are top-tier, especially the barbacoa. Fast service paired with delicious food makes it the perfect spot after a night out. The vibe can get a bit busy at times, but that only speaks to how popular it is. The portions are satisfying, and their prices are fair. I recommend it to anyone who loves authentic Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is good, but not as great as I expected based on the reviews I've seen. I tried the tacos de cabeza, and while they had good flavor, I felt the portion could be larger for the price. The service was quick and staff members were polite which I appreciated. The atmosphere was lively, but it can get a bit noisy at peak times. Overall, decent place, but I think there are better options nearby. " (*Curated Review*)
