Chorney-Booth: Chef Elia Herrera’s Milpa restaurant reflects deep love of Mexican food and family yyc
Despite her humble demeanour and genuine delight in being embraced by the city with open arms, Herrera comes with a pretty impressive CV. Originally from Cordoba, Mexico, Herrera grew up loving cooking and developed an equal affection for adventure and travel. She ended up in Toronto, where she owns two popular restaurants, also appearing on Top Chef Canada and Top Chef Mexico to earn a touch of celebrity status.
“Most people know tacos and burritos which are delicious, but Mexico is about so much more,” Herrera says. “I love that I can introduce my family traditions and the dishes that I grew up with. Mexico is so expansive – you can have a common dish, but even from city to city it will be completely different.”
Milpa is located at 1531 5th St. S.W. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. For more information and reservations, visit milpa.ca.
