What an amazing experience! The food was so incredible, little bit of a fusion/modern take on Mexican and Asian. The staff were incredible, knowledgeable, interactive, and attentive. The restaurant was beautiful in its design and atmosphere. Will definitely be returning to enjoy again, thank you to the staff and chefs for an amazing afternoon!

Milpa has been on our “must try” list for a while now so we figured there was no better time to go than for the YYC Exp event! We were so pleasantly surprised by all the dishes that came out, each delicious in their own way.

Food at Milpa is like eating art itself! Amazing food here with twists on your traditional south American dishes! I have eaten at a ton of different south American cuisine restaurants including when visiting to Mexico, and the food here takes the authenticity of the real Latin Canadian food and culture and takes a beautiful spin on it!

Did family style dining. I thought the food was tasteful. It’s too bad the portions are small. We ordered the beets, they have a large plate and only fill it with half the amount of beets.
