I have been working in this city for a while and did not know this place existed. And ever since I've been there, I've kept going especially for breakfast. It's whenever I go to work. This is where I'm going for breakfast. The best breakfast tacos period. Not only that, they have different types of barbacoa

My husband works nights so we hardly get to eat out together. Most choices are the usual 24hour spots. It was Mother’s Day so I wanted something different. This place was right down the road from our hotel and it had some pretty good ratings! It was Sunday so they opened at 6am normally it’s at 5am. But it was definitely worth the wait! The first thing you see is the homemade tortillas being made on the spot! So you already know what time it is. The selection of taco meats is amazing they actually had 3 kinds of Barbacoa and they even had authentic goat Birria! We both had breakfast tacos and of course Barbacoa. I had to have the menudo! My husband had the ham and cheese omelette and of course it was Mexican Cheese! Everything we had was truly authentic Mexican recipes and did not disappoint. We ate everything on our plates! Our waitress was sweet and very attentive and the rest of the staff was too. 10/10 recommended!

We came here on a Sunday around 11:30am and it was crazy busy. They have one side for to go orders and the other side for dine in. We waited about 10mins to be seated. The food tasted very delicious it didn’t disappoint, the flour and corn tortillas are made in there and you can see them making it. Parking can be a hassle since it’s small and crowded but it’s worth it in my opinion. We would definitely come back

La Milpa Tortilleria keeps it real and proudly embraces its hole-in-the-wall vibe. The barbacoa and carnitas are some of the best in East Houston, served with fresh, warm tortillas that bring everything together. Don’t miss the limonada agua fresca—it’s the perfect refreshment alongside these bold, authentic flavors. They don’t do frills here; just serious, down-to-earth Latin food that fuels the hard-working locals every day.
