Best Mexican Restaurant
Milpitas sure has lots of choices when it comes to Mexican dining. The Best Mexican Restaurant category always gains the highest vote counts among our 200 offerings.
La Milpa, Caza Azteca and Baja Cactus are probably the city’s best-known Mexican eateries. La Milpa and Caza Azteca seem to always be Nos. 1-2 in the balloting. This year, La Milpa retains its crown, by a healthy margin. La Milpa places a strong emphasis on authenticity and the restaurant is always jammed for lunch. Casa Azteca is likewise known for its bustling crowds and truly authentic fare, not to mention astute waiters. It is tough to beat its lunch specials.
But there are many other Mexican favorites worth a visit, each with a special flair, readers said: downtown Baja Cactus, El Torito, Taqueria Las Vegas, Lina’s Place, La Sierra, Royal Taco, Taqueria Los Cunados, El Alazan Grill and Gomez Market (which has added an entire restaurant adjacent its market).
