" I was excited to try out La Milpa based on reviews, but it fell flat. The food was mediocre, and could have used more seasoning. The atmosphere was a bit cramped, which contributed to my overall disappointment. I was hoping for a genuinely authentic experience, but I found it lacking. I won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful experience at La Milpa. The breakfast tacos were delicious and well-priced, with plenty of filling. The service was prompt, even with a line out the door. I was impressed by how quickly they were able to get orders out. A traditional setting with the focus squarely on the food! I don't think I have tasted anything quite like their salsa. Highly recommended for anyone looking for real Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time at La Milpa, the food was very good! I ordered the burrito with carnitas, and it was filling. The service was quick and polite, which was a plus. I loved seeing the tortillas being made in the kitchen; it really adds to the experience. The atmosphere is bustling; you can tell it’s a favorite among locals. A bit crowded, but that's all part of the charm! I’ll definitely bring my friends next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't get enough of La Milpa! The breakfast tacos are the best I've had. Fresh tortillas, perfectly cooked meat, and just the right spice. The atmosphere is casual and feels authentic, making it a great place for a quick meal before work. I was especially impressed with their variety of meats for tacos. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable! I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" We went for breakfast and the tacos were delicious with generous portions. I ordered the carne asada and was pleased with the quality of meat. The service was friendly, though it took a while to get a table. The place was buzzing with people, which is a good sign. A bit noisy for my liking but definitely a place to visit if you want authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! I loved the barbacoa tacos—they were packed with flavor and the tortillas were fresh beyond compare. The atmosphere was vibrant and full of energy, exactly what you want for a taqueria. Service was prompt, and I appreciated how welcoming everyone was. The only downside was that it was a little noisy, but that’s part of the charm. I will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" So good! I ordered breakfast tacos to-go and they were amazing. Fresh corn tortillas with a variety of meat options. I went with the chorizo and it was perfectly seasoned. It was a bit busy when I arrived, but the staff worked quickly to get everyone served. I’ll be back for sure, possibly for lunch next time to try their birria! " (*Curated Review*)
