La Milpa continues to be a Milpitas favorite - with consistent quality and the best service around. Tonight, the a la carte Chimichanga did the trick. Fried golden brown and filled with moist, shredded chicken. Topped with guacamole and sour crème, it's even better covered in their red salsa. Very attentive service without being rushed. Plenty of parking in the large lot out front.

I've been coming to this restaurant for almost 40 years now. The staff may change, but the food does not. I always order the same dish, crab and shrimp enchiladas. I've had other dishes, but I keep coming back for this particular dish. I'm not a regular, it's been years since I've been here, but it's worth the 36 mile drive on ocasión.

Came back after many a years since the last visit, and a slight update is in need. On my initial visit, I think I was a bit too snobby and trying to nit-pick on how authentic they could be. I am changing my stance as the recent re-visit got me to mellow out and just enjoy things for what they are, and not what I think they should be. Maybe it's age, but whatever it is, I am fine with it. So the place looks exactly how I remember it, maybe even a bit more worn, as nothing has changed. The service is still great and the food is still solid. Now this isn't the kind of Mexican restaurant that actual Mexicans go to. This is straight up for the suburban masses. But boy are they dialed in on those suburban palates and appetites. Bohemia ($7ish/5*) Okay part of my star bumpage is due to them offering this. It is my favorite Mexican lager and so few Mexican restaurants offer it. I love it with Mexican flavors and textures, so I gotta give them props for serving it. Enchilada & Relleno Combo ($17/4.5*) I chose shredded beef to go inside my enchilada. Very proper with tender Chile Colorado or even barbacoa vibes. They put just enough sauce to moisten it without drowning in it. Though I'm not thoroughly against a drowning enchilada, if the sauce is good, and this most certainly was. The Chile Relleno was okay, a nice hunk of Oaxacan cheese stuffs and is super similar to a creamy mozz. Thoroughly melted with a legit cheese pull. The egg batter was just meh to me, I actually prefer rellenos to be just roasted pepper without a coating, but those are harder to come by. This also was covered in sauce, but can't remembered if it had its own sauce or same as the enchilada. It all just blended together seemlessly, even the beans and rice was all melded in unity on this piping hot plate. So yeah, the flavors hit, the textures hit, and with the pairing of the crisp and cold beer (2 of them without effort), just made for a winning meal, that I can't and shouldn't complain about. Simple, easy, pure.

Came here around 4 years ago for lunch with some coworkers, it's always been a restaurant I keep in my back pocket. I was craving nachos yesterday, and after yelping where I can get the best nachos-- La Milpa was the clear and obvious winner. :) The nachos hit the spot and did not hurt my wallet either. Haha I paid around $19 for a big plate. all in all, my nacho craving has been satisfied :)

First time visit to this small Mexican restaurant located in a strip mall that was recommended by a family member. Boy was she right ! Friendly server and fast service. Complimentary chips with 2 kinds of salsa to munch awaiting our order on the table. Enjoyed an excellent Mexican, breakfast of potatoes, eggs, spicy chorizo, and beans with warm corn tortillas. Beans were very good. Another family member had the cocido (caldo de res) with a side order of rice which was very tasty and a large portion, enough to have a takeaway. Even the coffee was very good.
