Las Milpas Restaurant — Restaurant in Orange Grove

PRICES ARE NOT AS ADVERTISED. We went to pay and our bill came out to more then what it should have been. Man said everyone here knows the prices are different and sarcastically stated that its been like that for 3 years. We are not from there so how are we supposed to know? Prices aren't marked to reflect current prices, no notice on menu "hey all plates are $3 more", not on door, advised by waitress. Nothing. Beware of that incase you are on limited funds. Went to ask for a refill and the man which I'm assuming is the owner told the waitress "no la llenes, no la llenes, no la llenes!",(do not fill it up). Another man came in to pickup money for idk what and said, "that's it"? 'Owner' says that's it and throws his hands in the air with smirk all over his face and body language turns around and walks away. Other man left in disbelief. If that's the owner he represents that restaurant very badly. Food is alright but would appreciate if they would be upfront on prices instead of snaking people. A better attitude...

This Mexican restaurant is kind of a little dive or hole in the wall but the food is very good. I usually order the sampler platter and it is all very good. The wait in the drive they line takes a while but that’s because they prepare it right as you wait. It’s worth the extra time. The only other complaint I have is on the refried beans. Sometimes they are kind of dried out and/or too salty.

Update: we got takeout again and the food tasted so bland. The hamburger in the tacos wasn’t seasoned at all. It was strange that the Mexican rice had mixed vegetables in it (besides carrots and peas, there were Lima beans, green beans, corn and potatoes!?). I guess it depends on the cook working because usually the food...

Food was good but was disappointed with the service. When I went to pay, the bill was much higher than I expected. Turns out they charge $3 more per plate than what’s listed on the menu. There was no posted notice of the change in price and the server didn’t let us know beforehand. The crooked owner just said everyone in town knows their prices went up years ago. Needless to say, he was quite rude about it and refused to honor the menu prices. It was not worth the drive from Mathis. Just go to Corpus for better Mexican food...
