"Belén Valverde and Matias de los Santos fell in love in Punta del Este, moved to Spain and then Mexico, until finally they were invited to join Mexican chef Rosio Sanchez at Hija de Sánchez in Copenhagen. Two years later, during the pandemic, the young couple decided to return to Montevideo (Matías says they missed the taste of lime, cilantro, and Mexican spices in Europe). They opened La Milpa, a fun small taquería inside the Mercado Ferrando food hall, where you should try the al pastor and barbecue tacos, and their house-made hot sauces and tortillas. — MB" - Marcela Baruch

Incredible tacos. Homemade artisanal tortillas and chips take things to another level! This place is changing the game of Mexican food in Uruguay. Put it at the top of your foodie list🔥👌

I got the taco combo, which gives you one taco of each flavor, and comes with a drink. I wasn’t a huge fan of the veggie taco, although it was very pretty, but I really liked the meat options. The salsa that it comes with wasn’t too spicy and had a nice flavor! The service from the employees was good.

Vegan food is not necessarily easy to find in Montevideo. Great vegan food, less so. Lucky for vegan you this friendly group will whip together some authentic, fresh, healthy and super tasty treats. Tacos with corn tortillas, kale, beans, tempeh and greens and, I am not kidding (and I have eaten a million tacos), delicious salsa. Tacos seem like a simple food but when all the ingredients harmonize in your mouth a well known folk song becomes a satisfying symphony.

Very helpful in both Spanish and English. Great tostadas.

Amazing tacos!! Great, fresh, authentic corn tortillas with meat and veggie filling options. We’ve made it a weekly tradition and have never been disappointed. They also have a fantastic hot sauce and make a mean margarita!

Some of the best tacos I’ve had in my life. Salsa was also good and actually a little spicy. Will definitely come back for more!

The flavours of the tacos were very well put together. The owner recommended the daily special to us as well, which was a tostada de camaron and very tasty! Also highly recommend the home made torilla chips (the guacamole is insanely good!) And the staff is super friendly as well:)

Probably the best Mexican tacos I’ve ever had, and I’ve been all over Mexico. Very well spiced, and the owner was extremely friendly too. And the margaritas…perfection.
