Taco tasted pretty good, made me want to get another right after.

We had a range of tacos covering everything they had and they were all disappointing. The tortillas were delicious but the fillings just lacked flavour. There were a bunch of salsas we would add, but that much made them spicy and tasteless rather than tasteless. Very disappointing.

Good standard tacos, not out of this world. Be aware that these are small size, soft sided tacos, typical of taquerias. The setting is pleasant, open air under a large shade shelter. Service is a bit slow, but wait staff is working as fast as they can. Located right in the Terlingua Ghost Town.

Perfect simple tacos on paper plates and picnic tables in the open air. Quick, easy, and good. Nopales, chicken, barbacoa, al pastor were all good. Guac looked great.

We spent a week in Big Bend National Park/Terlingua, we ended up coming to this location multiple times throughout the week as it quickly became our favorite. The place is not open Mon/Tues (which are the days we tried other options in the area). We had the Salsa (nice kick) and Guac (chunky). For the main meal, we ordered the chicken fajitas and especial - both were delicious and our go to options. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend a visit here.

Delicious stuff! Street tacos are great. Elote also yummy. BYOB. This is not really Tex Mex so if you're expecting giant plate of mushy enchiladas, refried beans, and rice, this may not be the place for you. Tables are covered but it's open air.

The service was fast, food was well priced and plenty of it. Kids would have no problem here. This seemed like the most authentic food in town. The main chef had come up from Mexico a few years ago and was doing a great job. They supplied us with a great set of condiments to add to our meals. There was one with picked onions and peppers. Warning: though the onions were wonderful I took a full pepper slice and the pickling didn't take away from the burn: Habanero! This is a great option in Terlingua.

We ate dinner at this restaurant 2 nights during our time visiting Big Bend National Park. The food was excellent! There was an option of carryout which we did one night. The carryout service was reasonably quick.. The prices were reasonable as well.

Cool place with covered outdoor seating. Dining area and restroom were clean. Server took order and delivered food. The chicken enchiladas and guacamole were delicious. Stay away from steak picadillo plate way to much fat. Mexican street corn OK.

We ate here on our first night in Terlingua after a long drive, so maybe we just weren't hip to the general vibe just yet, but we found the food here not to be what we expected. The tacos are indeed small and there were limited options as to what to add to them if you aren't into super-hot sauces. It was an OK meal, but even without alcoholic beverages it was only about $10 less than the much better meal we had at the Starlight the next evening.
Decided to eat here instead of waiting in long line at Starlight Theater. Glad we did. I overheard another customer say the food was better at el Milagro. We enjoyed our tacos and the atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxed. All patio dining.

We ate here on our trip to BBNP. My husband loves authentic tacos and he’s picky about them. We both loved our food and the salsas/pico that came with them. 5 tacos is the perfect amount bc they are very small. Loved the atmosphere and outdoor seating. We wish something like this was available in our home area.

We stopped here during our trip to BIBE. It gets crowded at dinner time and their seating is out doors. Fish, chicken and prickly pear tacos are awesome. Great place to dine after a long day at the park.

I think you'll be hard-pressed to find an equally delicious, no frills tacqueria in a hundred miles. Nestled in the Terlingua Ghost Town, El Milagro serves up bite-sized street tacos (trust me, get the 5 tacos for $10, they are mini) in a variety of options, including el pastor, chicken, fish, and nopalito. Served with a fiery assortment of housemade salsa, fantastic homemade guac, and generous cobs of elote. It's VERY casual and BYOB, but there are few other things you need after a day of hiking Big Bend. Get there in time to watch the sunset over the Chisos. Unpretentious. Delicious. Come as you are, dusty from the trails and weary.

These little 5 for $10 tacos were delicious!......and yes you can eat 5 for sure. The El Pastor was my favorite but all of them are super tasty! The Guacamole was very good and very fresh too. I would say this is the best choice for food in The Ghost Town.
