La Milpa Mexican Restaurant

I'm with Sophia B. on the 3.5 star rating... La Milpa is pretty good, but can definitely be outdone in Denton *cough* Mazatlan *cough*. There's never been anything wrong with what I've had here, but also nothing that I've reordered regularly because it was so amazing. The Queso La Milpa (white queso) is pretty delicious, but gets a bit thick after a few minutes on the table. That didn't keep me from diving in, though! This past visit I had the combo lunch fajitas for 1, which was easily split between 2 adults with leftovers. The beef was a bit tough and chewy, so stick with chicken. They now offer all homemade corn or four tortillas, which was a nice touch. Our server, who I got the feeling may have actually been a manager, was absolutely phenomenal and took great care of our table. He kept our drinks full, quickly attended to any requests, and kept the table clean of finished plates.

It saddens me that I've never seen more than 2 or 3 tables in there at once. The location isn't doing them any favors- the restaurant is attached to a rundown Value Inn or something, but the 2 businesses are not connected and the restaurant is clean and well-decorated. For the low prices and great service, it's a great place you can have a nice sit down lunch within a work hour.

Specials: $2.00 margaritas all day Tuesday, $1 street taco Thursday (3pm-close), and a live Mariachi band Friday nights

I would give three and a half stars if I could. The food is pretty good! Fair price and good food. I've been here twice. The first time I can't remember what I ordered-- but I also got sopapillas. Yum. On the second visit I got steak picado. Very good and generous helping of steak. The service could use a little help though. The first visit was ok, kind of slow, but the manager had explained that our waiter was new. On the second visit service was slow, and not many other people dining. I don't mind waiting for good food, but me and my friends' glasses went empty.

I went here for my birthday dinner. The drinks here are more than amazing. I'd actually expect to find that quality of drinks in a classier joint, but I'm glad I had them here that night :) Our service was great. Very attentive staff and we even got a free pitcher of shots since it was my birthday. The good was good. I got the skirt steak. Very nicely spiced. I can't stand bland food and was pleasantly surprised. I loved the Scarface in New york picture in the bar, but that's about it cause the decor was ratchet!

Overall I had a good experience for my birthday. Thanks really cute bartender at  La Milpa for the birthday shots
