Taqueria El Milagro

I am originally from Chicago moved to Texas 40 yrs ago. I have visited about 5 times. Took my daughter and granddaughter to know one of my favorite places to eat!!!

First off I rarely give a 5 for food. Especially Mexican food as all is compared to home cooking. However when everything is fresh, it makes a difference. Something to be said for cafeteria style restaurant. Except they bring the food to you to enjoy. Big portions priced just right. You won't go broke, and you won't go hungry. Just know this is not get it your way tacos. They only come with salsa on the side with a pickled lettuce mixture. No cilantro and onion tacos. Maybe you can ask for sides of , but they may charge you. However food is good and you'll be full. Check it out.

This place gets 5/5 stars for the food and price alone. The attached photo, for all the food, was about $32! Amazing price for amazing food. The guisano de res is incredible; it’s so tender and delish. I love the carne asada taco. Mind you, their tacos are not your normal taco! They have meat, cabbage, rice and beans…and it works!!!! So good! I didn’t love the milanese de pollo taco but that’s the only thing. Finally, get yourself some outstanding tamales before they run out! Can’t go wrong.

It's always one of our top favorite restaurants to come to whenever we're in town. We purchased some red tamales, green tamales, rajas, and fresa, yummy 😋 ...

I'm going to be 100% honest , I don't sugar coat things, honestly, I grew up in the neighborhood ate their food many times, but honestly, looks like some of these employees or even maybe all of them dont seem to even care. Not 1 time, not 2 times, like 5 or 6 times when I would order the chicken plate or even the meat plate, they would put the food in the Styrofoam containers, the chicken and meat would burn and melt the Styrofoam. These employees dont really care if your food melts the Styrofoam and you end up eating it honestly. That's really messed up because the Styrofoam that melted onto the food can make you really sick with the time. Sometimes, the chicken and meat had a bad flavor and smelled like if the meat was like sour or old. It tasted bad. Also, sometimes the beans had a really bad smell like If the beans were expired or old, but they smell very strong and bad. I wonder if these people are giving us old expired beans and old meats?? Also, these cooks don't even know how to season the food properly. Many times, they put like a ton of salt for a carne plate or even a chicken plate. Even the beans had so much salt. A couple of times when the chicken or meat was overseasoned by salt that i tried to rinse off the salt. Other times, i just ate a little bit and threw out the rest of the salty chicken and meat. If your cooks don't know how to properly season the food without overseasoning it, then its time to replace those cooks with other cooks that would do their job right and not put tons of salt on the food. Many times, I also would only get like 2 very thin pieces of chicken breast and even on the meat plate. Also when you order a chicken or meat burrito they rip you off and put less meat like only 1 piece of chicken or meat in those burritos and like tons of lettuce to make it look like they put a good amount of meat in there but its mostly lettuce, tomatoes, rice and beans, sour cream that has the most. They charge a good amount of money for these plates and rip people off and don't put enough meat in there. You people are charging a good amount of money for a plate of chicken and meat. The customers are willing to pay the money you guys are charging, but you people end up ripping people off. Be honest with your customers because they are the ones bringing you guys money. If not, you guys are going to keep losing customers.

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!

The feeling is quite authentic in here. The tacos were good but nothing spectacular (at least the ones I had).

The tacos have beans and rice in them, which personally is not my thing, but perhaps others will like them.

Salsa was delicious.
