Milpa

Milpa serves food that's easy, quick, and convenient, but don't confuse it with fast food. No heavy sauces or greasy meat here. Instead, the focus is on ultra-fresh produce and premium ingredients, including stone-ground masa tortillas. "Bowls" are served with nuts and savory additions like roasted corn, warm chickpeas, lentils, brown rice, and/or quinoa. Tacos come with charred grilled chicken, spicy short rib, or roasted cauliflower, with additional ingredients on the side. Some assembly required. Milpa opened during the pandemic; not quite as a ghost kitchen, but with a heavy emphasis on takeout orders. The modern but minimalist dining room is starting to generate traffic, especially on Tuesday nights when guest chefs are invited for pop-up tastings.
