LAS VEGAS, September 29, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Las Vegas-based Milpa restaurant is emphasizing its commitment to authenticity by producing stone-ground heirloom tortillas using the ancient nixtamalization process. This distinguishes Milpa from many contemporary establishments which often resort to pre-made tortillas.

Located in the heart of Las Vegas, Milpa is aiming to merge the genuine flavors of traditional Mexican food with the attributes of modern health-conscious dining. The nixtamalization process, a technique tracing its roots back to Mesoamerican civilization, is testament to this objective.

Chef DJ Flores, known for his culinary expertise gained at renowned establishments such as Jaleo, Border Grill, and Chica, shed light on Milpa's ethos. He stated, "Our intent is not just to introduce Las Vegas to Mexican cuisine but to ensure that it is as authentic as possible. Our use of the traditional tortilla-making process is indicative of that commitment."

Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated in October, sees Milpa offering a range of dishes aimed at providing patrons with an authentic Mexican gastronomic experience. Central to this offering are their handmade tortillas. Flores added, "Each dish at Milpa is a curated journey, one that takes diners straight to the heart of Mexico."
