Milpa Kitchen & Cantina - (Near Denton, TX)

4 /5 Skyler Vasquez: Pretty decent Mexican place in an easy to get to spot. The food was just alright. The salsa is amazing though! We also got the yellow queso which was pretty good. Everyone at my table got the combos and I ate the beef tacos from them. The tacos were pretty good! The rice needed more flavor. The beans were good! My husband and I ate for a little over $30 so it’s not too bad at all for prices. The atmosphere is also SUPER CUTE!!!!

5 /5 Hunter Alise: I’ve been here two times now and have never been disappointed. It may look like they have a small food menu but they definitely have all the staples and something for everyone. They do also have two vegan options on the menu as well. Aside from the food, their cocktails are so GOOD! They offer a variety of margaritas (frozen or on the rocks) and have one of the best palomas! My waitress said the Paloma was her favorite and she was not wrong! Speaking of the waitress, the service was great and she checked on us frequently which I appreciate. I would like to mention that I rated this in the $20-30 price range per person because if you’re looking at getting an entree and a drink from the bar, that is what you should expect to spend. An entree alone is around $15. Can’t complain though!

5 /5 Ashley Case: Even though the restaurant is no longer a dine in location and is takeout only now (which I didn’t realize before driving 45min), I had such an amazing experience that I had to leave a review. I went in hoping to buy a gift card for my child’s teacher and was initially disappointed to learn they no longer have dine-in. However, Jorge was incredibly kind and helpful. He explained that they have a sister restaurant nearby with the same staff and chefs and offered to issue the gift certificate for that location instead. Since that restaurant didn’t open until 5 PM, he went above and beyond by printing a paper gift certificate on the spot so my trip wouldn’t be wasted. His kindness, professionalism, and willingness to accommodate truly stood out. Customer service like this is rare, and it speaks volumes about the people behind this business. Highly recommend supporting them!

3 /5 Angela Mazzitelli: First I want to say the old Milpa location off I-35E was our favorite Mexican restaurant in Denton! The best food and we loved the margaritas too. We didn’t realize that the relocation was also a conversion to a virtual restaurant-meaning that there is no place to dine in! It’s pretty much a ghost kitchen for Uber Eats/Door Dash etc orders. There is a little tiny counter in a hallway that you can order at. The employee who took our order was super nice and explained the changes to us very politely as we were confused when we got there that this was no longer a restaurant. The food was good, but it was not the old Milpa’s quality food. I ordered the same thing that I used to order at the old restaurant (carne asada tacos) and it was good-just not the same. The chips included with the orders were stale, and the salsa portion was very small. I’m sure we will still order Milpa’s to go occasionally, but I can’t say it’ll be our first Mexican food choice anymore. I’m sad to see the changes here!
