Our reservation wasn't showing up for them even though it was confirmed almost a month in advance

The food was delicious. We were able to go at happy hour and ordered a variety of small plates. Everything was excellent. We especially liked the coconut margarita, quesabirria, grilled shrimp and fried panela cheese. But truly it was all good!

There was a lot of smoke coming from the kitchen when we arrived and throughout our time there.

We have had many consistently excellent meals at Milpa. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is fresh and prepared with skill and care.

New menus is terrific. Small plates, large plates, drinks, desert - all five stars. Had prawns, pork belly, tacos - all terrific flavours and beautiful presentation. The manager's attention was pleasant, not intrusive. Good job, Samir!

This restaurant is all looks and mid food. Portions are quite small and over priced, came out cold. We ordered the Mango appetizer and it was literally just dried mango and some sauce which looked like ketchup, for $9…so unappealing. Couldn’t even return it because the service was so slow…Will not recommend or go back. But I do love the decor and design inside.

Had dinner with a friend on Sunday evening. We shared beet salad, empanadas, fish and birria tacos, and charred Shishito peppers. Everything was amazing!

What made it extra special was Amar, our server. He has the perfect personality as a server, attentive, and knowledgeable; always had this great big smile on his face.

Some people might say the portions are small, however, keep in mind that most restaurants are struggling with low margins to try and keep the doors open -> it is expensive to run a restaurant as the cost of everything have skyrocketed. I am fortunate I am able to go out to eat, but I encourage people continue to support your local restaurants.

Truly one of the best gourmet restaurants in the city! As such, this is a place to try new things, not to expect large servings. However, they have an amazing menu and similar amazing execution of the menu! If you go late in the evening, expect some things would have run out of. Pricing wise, it is pricy, but they do have regular happy hours with 30% off in some of their drinks and appetizers, so it is a good way to try their dishes and drinks.

It is great spot for Mexican food with twist. Loved the vibe. Enough options for vegetarian and vegans.
