Taqueria El Milagro

This is my first time visiting this location of El Milagro tacos on 26th ST. Upon entering you smell the delicious grilled meats. They have a hot food line behind plexiglass where you can see all the variety available for tacos or plate lunches before ordering. It is a clean restaurant with plenty of food variety. Casual ambiance and quick service. Ordered the asada tacos with salad only. They do have loud music playing and it stays very busy.The tacos are still good but lack seasoning and the tortillas are not even warm. The aguas frescas are not homemade which was a downer.

El Milagro, translates in English as, the miracle. Upon entry, everything was right; it smelled right, we were welcomed right and the verde chicken tamales were absolutely done right. It was definitely, a little miracle. The folks working here are some of the warmest, most polite and hospitable people I've ever encountered. I felt like family, truly. There was ranchera playing and plenty of seating. The line was long but moved swiftly. We ordered steak tacos and tamales. Everything was so flavorful and authentic. The tacos smelled like home because we only use El Milagro tortillas for tacos back home. This is one very special place -- I walked away feeling like I had been nurtured. I plan to purposely look for ways to get back here rápidamente or as we say, quickly :)

I got to check out Taqueria El Milagro with my friend have to say it is one of the best taco spots I have been able to try since moving. Let me get into it! The food was hands down, the best Mexican food I have been able to try. The quality of the food was amazing the steak was out of this world every bite was worth it. The service was alright it seemed really busy so it took a little longer than I excited but, waiting made the food taste even better. The atmosphere was very low key and pleasant. The décor really made the experience even better. Overall, TeM is one of the best taco spots in the city. Here is a tip for anyone that wants tortillas. Next to TeM is where they make tortillas so you can get reasonably priced tortillas if you want!

Auténtica Mexican cuisine, the only reason why I'm giving 4 stars is because I've never seen employees working in a 90degrees environment, dining room was hot, imagine the counter kitchen? This girls deserve my admiration. Owner must provide AC for them. Service was nice and kind. 4 stars for employees this time.By the way I was visiting from New YorkChef and consultant

If you want to score some great tamales, you have to get there before 9 am. They have great chilaquiles for breakfast too. It's a little far for me. Wish there was a Milagro closer to me. It really is worth the drive if you are in the mood for authentic Mexican Breakfast food.

I was in the area for jury duty and we were given an hour for lunch. I wasn't excited over the idea of eating courthouse food and was looking for alternatives. Upon suggestion from a friend, El Milagro was the place to go. I drove there and arrived around noonish. When I got in, a line to the counter had formed. While waiting, I looked up at their menu and decided on carne asada tacos to go.When it was my turn to order the lady at the counter asked if I wanted rice and beans and I said yes. I paid, she gave me my number and proceeded to wait towards the back of the restaurant where orders are picked up. My Spanish vocab is minimal. I can comprehend a few words but can't carry conversation. Be aware they call out order numbers in Spanish. Make sure you heard right otherwise run the risk of walking away with someone else's food which is a BIG no-no. I was cautious and just showed my number to the person manning the takeout section. I received my meal after waiting for 10 minutes. Bag in tow, I drove back to the courthouse to eat my lunch. Once I found a place to eat, I opened up my brown bag and saw my 3 tacos, sauces, napkins and silverware. I was like, "That's it? Where are my rice and beans?" At this point I didn't plan on returning, (I only had 30 minutes of lunch left) nor was I looking to call and complain to say I was missing my sides of rice and beans. However, I noticed the 3 tacos I ordered were super thick and larger than what I'm used to receiving. I opened up one, dressed it with salsa verde and took a bite. It was pretty damn tasty! The taco was filled with plenty of flavorful charred meat and then there it was! Embedded in the taco were my rice and beans! They didn't forget. That's just how they roll here and I was pleasantly surprised by it.El Milagro is a solid joint for delicious fast Mexican food ensuring you get a lot for value.For those driving in, there is a dedicated parking lot to the left of the restaurant along 26th street. This was a good find and I would for sure return when I find myself in Little Village.

I came here because I wanted to try their champurrado, but unfortunately they were out. It would have been a perfect drink for a cold day. Instead, I got the stewed beef taco, which was good. I hope to be back when they have champurrado.

This is Rounded up from 3.5 stars. First of all, Hats off to the brand recognition for El Milagro tortillas. Milagro mean Miracle in Spanish and these tortillas are in every store throughout Chicagoland. They've got a few restaurants here in Chicagoland and they're in GA and elsewhere. That's great, how they've been able to spread their presence out. Went to the original spot I believe, in Little Village, which is the closest thing to being in Mexico in the Midwest. Right on 26th St. and they have a convenient parking lot. Try to come early (like 11:00 a.m.), as many reviewers have pointed out. Otherwise the line really backs up. What I really like is that they have an on-site Security guard who also guides you to your table - which is in a plexiglass enclosure, complete with a sliding door. That's really cool and I like that separation without feeling claustrophobic. As for the food, the steak platter was a clear winner, it came with plenty of steak and it comes well done. As for the tacos, it's kinda new to me - on top of two tortillas, they put onions and refried beans along with your protein. So you definitely need a knife and fork. There's no way you can pick that up with your hands. My chicken mole taco was not breast meat but rather, a thigh with bones. And the lengua came in a red sauce instead of being dry, which is what I'm accustomed to. The stuffed poblano came with red sauce and it got a little soggy but it was good. The food was plentiful and you won't go away hungry.

Food was great. Waited little to no time. Super clean and beautiful environment. Very friendly staff. Would recommend

Nice food, very delicious, service was good, and the restaurant itself is clean and interestingly decorated.
