This could have easily been a 5 star review. However I’m being kind by giving them 2 stars.
— Chad Wilson

Paid $280 to cater out from them - specially charged me almost $40 for the MOLE.

Stopped quick before shopping at Costco and was not disappointed. Delicious Steak Taco and Steak Burrito. I must say the place was busy with customers for it being so early in the morning. Food was made fresh to order, it was definitely worth it!

“I LOVE this place.”

I LOVE this place! The food is served cafeteria style, so you get to take a look at some of the stuff before you order. My go-to is the asada plate or the asada taco. The taco is humongous, with a BIG piece of steak. You heard right, big chunks of asada like it came off of your backyard grill! I'm not a big fan of rice in my tacos, but here it hits especially when paired with the cabbage that comes on top. My biggest tip is to either eat it there, or eat it quickly if you do get the tacos. They are stuffed, which means those two fresh Milagro tortillas all the ingredients are cradled in can get soggy if you wait too long. The tamales here were okay to me, but every time I'm in the area I make it a point to stop in for a quick lunch taco. I've never had problems finding a seat, and the employees are nice, and the food comes out fast. I've only parked in the area twice, and the rest of the times I've walked over. Parking on the street is available, but you have to pay. The interior of the restaurant is nice, and clean. They take cash and card.

“Food was AMAZING and the service is good.”

Food was AMAZING and the service is good. Atmosphere is good. Heck even the outside atmosphere is great. And the only ice there is the ice in horchata. I still cant get over how good those tacos were.

“It’s a great place for eating.”

It’s a great place for eating. Portions are small with great flavor. The service is very basic. The atmosphere is very Mexican.

“El Milagro has been one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Chicago for years now.”

El Milagro has been one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Chicago for years now. Their chicken mole tacos are incredible. You honestly can't go wrong with any of the tacos. Prices are very reasonable and the tacos are super filling. I have been to a couple locations and they are very consistent. If you haven't tried El Milagro then I would highly recommend it!

Came in today Sunday just after noon and had a great meal. I had the torta de asasa and a taco de puerco en salsa *chefs kiss* so delicious!! Will be back and highly recommend for great tacos and excellent service.

“Top tier tortillas that are loaded up with delicious meats.”

Top tier tortillas that are loaded up with delicious meats. The stewed beef was my favorite by far! I only regret not getting a pack of tortillas to go
