Mila's Cantina

this place is just what the neighborhood needed. mexican food on a sunday - what? really cute interior. solid drinks and dishes.we had red chile cheese enchiladas, highly recommend. their refried beans were fire, so much so, that we asked for some to go to eat with our leftovers. next time we will remember to try the tres leches!

Mila's is a welcome new addition to my neighborhood, which is regrettably a bit of a food desert where Mexican cuisine is concerned. The menu leans more towards gringo tastes than authentic Mexican. I visited during happy hour and opted for the very tasty house margarita.Over a decade ago this location was home to an excellent neighborhood humble Mexican spot called Los Troncos. Then it became Lime, good for drinking, not so much for eating. And then Uno Mas, a lackluster taco joint in a city rich with quality tacos. Mila's looks like it has to the potential to be the best offering here since Los Troncos.Things I liked... Service was excellent. The interior looks great. Lots of good outdoors seating. From my perch at the bar, I had a commanding view of all the action on the block, centered around Don's Club Tavern, but there's also lots of foot traffic from neighboring businesses.I ordered the pollo adovado, out of curiosity since I'd never seen chicken cooked in adovado before. It was not a typical adovado, my flattened chicken breast was cover with a thin sweet syrup rather than stewed in a paste. I have never contemplated adding sugar (common chef's cheat) to adovado, and I probably will not order this dish again. The accompanying pinto beans were delicious. The Mexican rice was so-so. The bartender asked if I wanted corn or flour tortillas. I asked for corn but received both, and ended up paying extra for the corn. The corn tortillas were unusually paper thin and a bit oily, so likely made in-house. The flour tortillas were better, also a bit unusual, but had a good chew on them. Better than the corn. Next time I will try the carnitas, perhaps they will inspire me to upgrade my rating. But this is overall a nice new spot in the hood and I hope it has staying power. At the very least, I enjoyed the bar environment.

Came 5pm, we were the first ones there. Can't speak about the parking situation as we walked here but it is right off h busy street if 6th, I think they have some spots in their own lot. Ordered queso as an app; it's a fair price for its size but it's such a large amount and frankly too much for two people. I wish they offered a smaller portion. Had some kick to it, slightly too watery for our preference and tasted fine enough. I got the enchiladas which were standard fare but I liked them. Partner got tacos which all tasted good as well. They have happy hour drinks, we both got modelo negras which were like 8 bucks each

If you're in the mood for a good margarita, satisfying AND filling Mexican food then look no further. This place was empty on a weekend night for no reason. I ordered the Chicken Monterey and a couple skinny margaritas and they were delicious. Service was consistent but not over bearing. Give em a try if you're looking to scratch a Mexican itch.

I ordered food for pick-up so I can't speak to the service or ambiance but it was good food so I do plan on coming back to dine in. I thought the pricing was affordable, especially for a la carts items. My favorite of everything we got was the carnitas taco, the meat was cooked perfectly. The pastor taco and enchiladas suizas and queso were also good.

This new place in an old spot is a welcome replacement for the previous place. This was our first visit and it won't be the last for sure! The service is very good, and all of the staff is very friendly and engaging. The in house salsa is not to be missed, the perfect amount of heat and clearly made with fresh ingredients. Also the green chili is very good, not too spicy but far from bland. You'll love the the vibe and decor! Highly recommend this amazing new Cap Hill spot!!!

I was excited to see another Mexican restaurant open in this spot. The wait staff was really friendly, the drinks were good as was the food. I did feel it was a little over priced. I would definitely go back though.

This place is SOOOOOO amazing. Best enchiladas ever! Great cocktails. Friendly service!

A great addition to our neighborhood. Good food and drinks served with a smile. My favorite are the Camaron Tacos, breaded shrimp with Borracho salsa. Great green chili!Patrick W.

Great food, great people, what else could you ask for?? I've been in multiple times, tried something new each time and they don't disappoint. Along with this, the owners are very friendly and make you feel at home. Highly recommend!!
