Food was great and the steak dinner had good flavor. IT was a good amount of food for the price and the employees were very friendly. We would definitely recommend this spot to someone and plan on returning!

So good that if you take your food to go, you’ll want to eat it in the car.

A beloved local spot known for fresh tortillas and authentic Mexican dishes. Prices are affordable, portions generous, and flavors consistently praised, though lines can get long during busy times.

I drive 6 hours from Cincinnati just to buy tamales from El Milagro - the taste, the variety, the quality of their tamales can’t be beat. Also, while I waited for my order, I drank a hot cup of velvety creamy Champurrado. Delicious!!! Chef’s kisses!!!
I want to start this review by saying I have worked in the service industry for over 10 + years and come from a family where both my father and mother have had family members who have owned and run restaurants and grocery stores in the Pilsen and little village area. I visited the Milagro blue Island location on Sunday, September 7 with my mother who is 65 years old and my sister. My mother has had to undergo surgery and has a difficulty walking. This has also caused my sister and I to see her less because my mother is not as mobile after breaking a femur . That morning my sister and I went to church in the area and after we decided to visit my mom who has been a pilsen native for her entire life. My mother was very excited to visit the Milagro tortilla restaurant as we all were looking for the nostalgic homemade cooked meal feel. When we arrived. The security guard began to shove us in a direction and pushed us towards the front line without allowing us a chance to even look at the food, make a decision by looking at the menu, my sister, my mother and I were already body to body against strangers and each other as a security guard who is an African-American male, began pushing us closer and closer to the front of the line without any rhyme or reason. Mind you the the cashier was not even ready for us to be giving our order .. when the cashier who I later learned was the manager, Karla apparently ..finally waved me over to place the order. I began telling her our order for the three of us. This woman asked me to repeat myself three times in a restaurant that was not loud. Finally, I firmly and loudly I told the woman our order for the fourth time in a stern tone . where she then asked me why I had an attitude with her .. immediately my sister came to my defense and responded well ma'am my sister has just told you the order four times and you still cannot hear her and your security guard has rushed us to this line has been very rude to us And has already made our experience uncomfortable. We just would like to pay and We would like to have three waters and we would like to be sent on our merry way .. I entered the restaurant with the intention to make an Instagram or TikTok reel because I have a large social media presence on various platforms where my videos reach 25k views on average and wanted to support our Latino culture by making a video.
like I said, I was in need of the old ambience that I remember from years ago, the food Was not what we imagined it to be ..my Carne Asada tacos were dry and tough, and the mole hardly came with any sauce .we left with a knot in our stomach, a little embarrassed while also just wondering what just happened and why did this unnecessarily get escalated and heated when truly our intention was to just enjoy a Mexican home-cooked meal that we later wish we hadn't even entered the establishment.
I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN.

We have been coming here for over a decade. My family has lived in the Pilsen area for over 50 years. Today we were treated very poorly by the security guard and manager. The security guard kept yelling about keeping the line moving when I was already body to body with other patrons and could not move any closer. He then proceeded to yell at me about how he grew up in this neighborhood and he had the authority to speak to me this way. When we got to the register, the manager/cashier was also rude and kept asking me to repeat my order in a rude way. I then responded loudly and she told me not to talk to her like that. I am disappointed that the service and food has fallen off. Definitely won’t come back and wouldn’t recommend anyone giving their business.
