El Milagro Taqueria

Great spot in Pilsen!I ordered takeout and got the carne asada burrito and a side order of tortillas that came with a couple small salsa containers. The burrito was a great deal for the quality and quantity. Great flavor and absolutely massive. The service was quick as well and took about 15 minutes from order to pickup.

Ever since I was a kid I have been eating El Milagro corn tortillas. They are such a staple in my kitchen that I used to have them mailed to me when living on the west coast. Since moving back to Chicago I have wanted to try their taqueria; however, COVID, employment strikes, and my addiction to Rubi's on 18th has prevented me from trying them. Today was the day that I went for it, and I am glad that I did!The torta:Bread is super soft, fresh, and exactly what I want when I think torta. The crema was cool, creamy, and blended with the lettuce and meat perfectly. The lettuce and tomato were fresh and a crucial part of the sandwich. Lastly, the thin layer of steak was cooked great and seasoned well; yet, was a little underwhelming. If I ever ordered it again then I'd ask for extra meet. The burrito:The burrito on the other hand was packed full of steak! It wasn't the finally chopped arrecherra that other spots serve; rather, it was full slices of arrecherra that were grilled to perfection. The veggies were fresh, and salsas were on point. One of my favorite features of the burrito was the cheese that they used, and the amount that they used! Overall the burrito was a hit and I will definitely be ordering it again. Overall I'm pleased with El Milagro as their entrees are priced well considering the portion, flavor, and quality. Not quite the best in the city, but not disappointing either!

Somewhat of a queue to order but it's so worth it! Tacos are filled with rice and beans so they're filling! Stewed beef in tomato sauce taco was sooo tasty

This place has been around for a long time. They are the company that sells the tortillas at most grocery stores. The restaurant is small and there are tables but not for large groups. I had come on a weekend and ordered the Mexican stew taco. It was so good so I came again last night and had a taste for it. It was so tender and tasty. But they only make the stew on Saturdays. So I opted for steak tacos with everything. The steak was tender and tasty. The everything isn't cilantro and onion as sometimes there's more onions than cilantro. This has a cabbage slaw that gives the taco a little crunch and pickling taste, so good. This is our go to taco place. The burritos are nice size and filling as well. Half of a burrito will be enough for one meal. Can't go wrong coming here.

First time visiting this place, and Prbly our last time. The steak was so salty, and not a fan of the cabbage on top. Overall, all the meats are overly seasoned! The only items tasted decent are the refried beans and the tortillas. It's a quick service restaurant, it's in the lower price point. But I would probably not recommend this place.

I was craving authentic Mexican food and it's right in Pilsen be sure to check out the art murals because neighborhood in the heart of Chicago

This place has been around a long time and always has solid food. It is very casual and food is served cafeteria style. Their tacos and burritos are large and very meaty. My personal favorite is the steak in chile de arbol sauce, it is so tender and makes great tacos. If you're there earlier in the day try their chilaquiles!

I've not been to El Milagro in many years, but my love and I enjoyed having a no-frills lunch there on a recent Saturday afternoon. They were doing brisk business, but after we placed our order at the counter our food was brought out fairly quickly. A hearty plate of food with rice, beans, slaw and tortillas is now nearly ten dollars, still not a bad deal nowadays.I enjoyed my mole chicken for lunch. My love actually ordered lengua in tomato sauce. As you can see, she did not get what she ordered, but she still was fine with her meaty lunch. I tacked on a dessert tamale. The strawberry tamale was a unique taste sensation, not overly sweet.

The food was amazing! The one of the best underrated taco spots in the city. The pork in green sauce and chicken mole are the tops. I had two tacos dining in and had to get more to go! The service was great. Pretty fast!

Service was fine and the location was clean and plenty of street parking. Asada was tough and super salty. Construction was poor as well as many of the ingredients had shifted to the end of the burrito.
