OMG, I am originally from Southern Cali and we have a plethora of tortillerias to choose from. Coming to Austin and having to find one was a mission in itself. After 2 years in Dripping Springs, I gave El Milagro a try.... I don't regret it! They have the best masa preparada and nixtamal (hominy) previously cleaned with cal (lime). I still had to clean the nixtamal to remove the cal; but all in all my pozole was the bomb! My tamales were so gooood. Great customer service. Highly recommend El Milagros for your traditional masa and hominy. I no longer miss my So-Cal ‍tortilleria. read more

We've bought this brand for years. All of a sudden they're stale when we first open the unexpired bag. We bake the whole bag to restore crispness. Not good. Used to get a 5 star rating. Now it's 2. read more

I have been buying chips from El Milagro for decades, by far the best chips in Austin. Light, crispy, perfect. When I bought my usual 3-lb bag a couple weeks ago, they were completely different, and not in a good way. My most recent chips are thick, bubbly, yellow and not good at all. Whoever changed the recipe (from Chicago, I guess) has made a big mistake. Unless they go back to the original recipe, they have lost my business. read more

I love coming to buy tortillas and chips from here. The employees are so kind and helpful.

Non-gmo corn chips and tortillas and chips! What more could you want?! You should check it out.

4 years later and El Milagro is still keeping me in Hominy (aka Nixtamal) for our traditional NYD Pozole. The service is fast and friendly and they also sell all the traditional Mexican bakery items including Pan de Polvo cookies. If you make tamales, pozole, or Menudo, in addition to fresh masa and nixtamal, they have a small market inside with ingredients you will need to whip them up including corn husks, large containers of traditional seasonings (Cumin, Red Chile powder...), an assortment of bagged dried red chile, plus their flour and corn tortillas and chips. I noted that they sell Tamales during the holidays. I am ordering some for NYE pickup! read more

El Milagro Tortillas - Homemade pozole with El Milago's nixtamal (homiiny) - Grocery Near Me - Austin, Texas

Best tortillería in town. The masa tastes authentic, as if it were made in Mexico. Makes a whole world of a difference when making tamales or other traditional food. read more

They have the best tortillas great taste something different....best tortillas in town I will recommend this place to anybody

They have the absolute best stuff. Central Market use to carry their tortilla chips but not anymore.

I used Love these chips, I lived in dallas and bought them at Central market, the only reason I'm leaving a 1 star review is that I'm going thru chip withdrawal cause I can no longer find these in dallas, I'm talking about the thin and crispy tomatoes from El milagro read more

Best flour tortillas on earth. I'm so sad HEB stopped carrying their tortillas. Glad to see they have a brick and mortar store and will be stocking up! Also, the tostada shells are amazing. read more

Ive been buying maza blanca for tamales for over 25 years from this place. Each year making over 500 dozens. I've known since I was a young boy to get there an hour early during the holidays which is what I did this morning waiting in the rain. I was the second customer in line and when I got to the counter and placed my order, you can imagine my surprise when the young lady behind the counter stated that they no longer sold maza Blanca quebrada para tamales. I asked her when did this take affect and she stated she didn't know and almost immediately insisted I get the pre bagged maza amarilla she had layed on the counter top in front of me, followed by others and when I placed my hand on it ,,it was cold to the touch. Turns out it was sent from their SA locale to be sold here. They're trying to make us buy there unsold from other cities and that's not right. The molinero even yelled at me from the back as well stating, "es todo que "vendemos" , gesturing for me to move on as if I were just some or any other customer for they have thousands And you know what? I most certainly will. Fiesta Tortillas is where I recommend all who wish to make tamales go and buy there masa. It's more family oriented and the young ladies there are always so kind. The only draw back is they open later in the morning at 8. That was the main reason I used El Milagro. But Never again though. Never again! Oh and it's a qtr past 7 now. Can't believe I was able to get this posting up on yelp that quickly. Gotta go get my maza blanca quebrada para tamales now from Fiesta cause they open at 8. read more

The best corn tortillas anywhere! I'm from Chicago and grew up eating El Milagro tortillas. After moving to Austin, I was appalled by the meager tortilla options. No other brand came close in flavor, consistency or ingredients. El Milagro makes theirs fresh and it shows. They taste great, whether heated on stove-top or microwave.highly recommend! read more

El Milagro is something you wouldn't think to discover on 6th Street but I'm glad my buddy made me do a U-turn to check it out! I LOVED everything about El Milagro! So refreshing knowing that I can run in and come out with loads of chips/fresh corn tortillas without having paid over $5! I was like a kid in a candy shop, my arms were full of things. I'm going to make El Milagro visits a priority anytime I step foot in Austin. The girls working the register are incredibly informative about their products and SUPER sweet! Check this place out, its AWESOME! read more

See all

My favorite tortillas and tostada . Awesome service quick and reasonably priced... don't forget the chicharrones!

I love this place. Best and cheapest tortilla's I've found in Austin. They offer a selection too. Flour tortilla enthusiasts like me might sometimes prefer a more chewy or less chewy tortilla, depending on the application. El Milagro has got us covered. They also sell fresh masa. And on certain days they fill the neighborhood with the delicious scent of deep fried corn chips. This place is CASH ONLY though. There are no ATMs nearby except at the Chevron one block away, and that one charges $2 for a withdrawal. So come prepared! read more

El Milagro Tortillas - Grocery Near Me - Austin, Texas

I love the products that they sell there the tortillas, the masa for tamales,the chips etc, But the cashier attitude if the worst, I guess because it was a Monday 5/25/2021 But she should be friendly and well manner, But other than that we love coming here. read more

These are the most delicious corn tortillas that I've ever tasted! However, their distribution is very limited and product is hard to find. I hope that they will expand their distribution in the near future. read more

I love their chips and tortillas. This place started out with 5 stars in my heart and my taste buds. Here's why I'm giving the location a 2: - Items on the shelf had a best buy date of 3 days from today! (The smallest pack of tortillas = 30. Number of people in my household 2. To use these, I'd need to put just about all of our meals the next 3 days on tortillas.) - The only things I'd really ever get here are chips and tortillas, so stopping in here doesn't accomplish much - The prices are good, but not "go out of your way good" - Few parking spots Overall, I'm glad I went to check it out but I will not be returning. read more

Great service and quality products! The staff was really nice and knowledgeable about their products. Also the masa is always fresh and delicious! read more

This is our Go-To place for masa when we have our family Tamaladas. Our grandparents owned a tortilleria in south Texas and so fresh masa is very important to us. This masa is fresh and perfectly prepared for either tamales or tortillas or gorditas. They know their masa and tortilla products. Their masa preparada for tamales is perfect! Thank you for your great quality of products! read more

Best place to get fresh tamale masa and tortilla chips. Been around for a long time. Warning...lines will be long as it gets closer to Tamale season. read more

If you're a fan of thin, restaurant-style tortilla chips (ala Chuy's), you'll love El Milagro chips and tortillas. Absolutely the best thing you'll find outside of a good Tex-Mex place, and only because at the Tex-Mex place, they're warm and have that slight smacking of fried goodness. I never buy any chips or tortillas that aren't El Milagro. Fantastic! read more

A friend brought these (along with Texas Texas Medium Salsa) to a poker game about a year back, and I have bought only El Milagro chips since then. The only exception being when the HEB is cleaned out of them, which seems to happen now and then. Love them for queso and salsa, but I inevitably wind up finishing the salsa and queso and then eating the chips plain, because they're so good... not overly salted, just perfectly flavored and formed. read more

Unmistakely the best Tortilla chips made, and made in Austin. However bad NEWS for consumer. Walmart had banned this wonderful food product, because the store manager says, They didn't do what we told them to do, so they are dropped at ALL Wallmart stores. What an insult to one of "Austins Premium Products", and to Austin Tx. Calling on all, to protest this action. Call your walmart manager complain, and write the Dictators In charge, and Get back our beloved Tortilla Chips. read more

El Milagro "topopos" tortilla chips are my favorite chips. If you buy them at HEB or Wheatsville Co-op, they'll be $2.50 to $3 or so. If you stop by El Milagro, you can pick them up for only $2 a bag! For you calorie-counters, the "topopos" 1-lb tortilla chip bags are supposed to be 140 calories per serving with 14 servings per bag. If you don't like the thin-style tortilla chips, you can also get the thick-style tortilla chips. I think they even come in 5-lb bags. El Milagro also sells white and yellow corn tortillas, tamale wrappers, drinks, and lots of other ethnic snacks that I am unfamiliar with. El Milagro has a $5 credit card minimum. It is the bright yellow-orange building located on the Northwest quadrant of the San Marcos and 6th Street intersection. It is east of I-35. I usually find street parking along San Marcos. read more

If you want to enjoy the best chips in your life, you have to try El Milagro! They are amazingly tasty and have that fresh corn taste without the greasiness of the usual chips. Besides the yummy chips- you have to try the tortillas! They taste like they were home made! Everyone we share the chips with goes ga-ga over them. We buy them at HEB but I am lucky to know the family. Let me say, they are the best people and I'm 100% in support of El Milagro. read more

My favorite purveyor of chips and tortillas in Austin. Their corn tortillas have that roasted corn sweetness (you've had them at El Chile and El Chilito), the tortilla chips are almost translucent, and the team who runs this place is really great. Thumbs up! read more

AH! East Austin! NO! Now that that's out of the way, small storefront, park on the side street. Everything is very very generously priced. 1.95 for a pound of tortilla chips (about 140). 1.00 for 30 corn tortillas. Most everything they sell has 3 ingredients or less. Also, FRESH. If you can't brave "East of 35" or the location is a little inconvenient, they also sell the chips, at least, at pretty much every HEB I've been to in Central Austin. No cards, and checkout is a great opportunity to test your high school Spanish skills. Or pretend like you don't speak it and hear them make fun of you because you wanted your 5 cents in change back. I know I'm cheap. If you're a genuine gringo, the factory is your Mecca. Everyone should make the pilgrimage at least once to experience their entire product line. We'd all be better for it. read more

Two reasons to go here. 1. Buying a huge bag of chips for a party. They sell large trash bag sizes (unsalted) at great prices. 2. Buying fresh masa to make tamales. read more

I came from a family of tortilleros, so I know tortillas. Well, let's just put it this way; If you want to try real tortillas, and yummy tostadas, come here. Besides, the staff is always friendly :) read more

I have brought many followers to the wonderful cult of El Milagro. The chips are sort of the initiation - like their simplicity, they turn your mind into a beautiful blank slate upon which the wisdom of the ancients can be writ. El Milagro is my saviour and my friend. El Milagro made me the person I am today. Come, Join Us. Also, I would like to fill my bathtub with salsa. read more

I'm yet to stop into the actual restaurant.. but they are the ONLY tortillas we stock in our house! I wish HEB carried them though. Oh well, a quick run to WM does the trick. read more

For years we have depended on El Milagro for our tamale masa. They have always been spot-on with the texture, taste and freshness. As amateur tamale-makers, we have almost-annual tamaladas. Our parents purchased from Milagro, and so the tradition continues. Milagro also sells party-size mega-bags of tostadas. If chips are leftover, you can always refresh them in the microwave or oven. They sell corn tortillas and I sometimes freeze leftover tortillas individually to use for migas or enchiladas later. If any improvement were needed, it would be parking, but their products...they are just delicious! read more

If you've been to any Tex-Mex or just plain ole Mexican restaurant in Austin, you've most likely had chips and/or tortillas from this tortilleria on E 6th St. Over the past few years, new fancy gentrified stores, restaurants, and bars have sprung up around this humble store. In fact, El Milagro has had a bit of a facelift. The first time I visited this shop was over ten years ago with a co-worker while preparing for a work-related holiday party. I was blown away. I had no idea that those bags of chips I saw in the store had come from this (at the time) small storefront. The difference was, here the chips were hot, fresh, and unbroken. This is THE place to buy tortilla chips and tortillas in Austin. They distribute their goods to HEB, however you must(!) make the special trip here. Big difference; completely worth it. Huge difference in freshness. read more

There's no such thing as having too many tortillas and chips on hand, so why not stay stocked up on the best? Their corn tortillas are stellar and their chips are phenomenal! The grocery stores are frequently sold out, so I buy en masse at this location. Cash-only, but uber-cheap, with way-friendly service. read more

El Milagro Tortillas - Mural of the Virgen de Guadalupe adorns the side of the El Milagro building - Grocery Near Me - Austin, Texas

El Milagro is one of those core businesses that lends so generously to our rich Tex-Mex culture in Austin. They are an authentic Tortillaria - definitely Austin's best. After all, we Austinites not only need good chips, but we demand them. And El Milagro proudly delivers, chip after chip, tortilla after tortilla, year after year. From my experiences, everything they make is as good as it gets (tradition, quality, freshness, flavor), but their tortilla chips are just plain addictive. They are not greasy nor are they salty, they taste so fresh and delicious that you just have to eat another and another and... I don't buy any other brand, ever. I love to have them plain, with salsa, chili con queso, guacamole, bean dip, as nachos, or just to soak up the cheese and gravies of a good Tex-Mex meal. For that final touch of perfection, warm them quickly in the oven spread evenly on a cookie sheet (broil for a minute or two, keep an eye on them, they will warm quickly) and then grind a little sea salt on top just before serving. This is making me hungry just thinking about all of the good memories... and all over a simple little corn tortilla chip. They are that good. There is simply no comparison between El Milagro tortilla chips and any other competing brand you will find at the grocery store. We're fortunate to be able to buy these chips at our local HEB stores, or you can stop by their shop on E. 6th and buy directly from El Milagro. Many of our best local Tex-Mex restaurants serve El Milagro chips - and for those who serve some other store bought brand, SHAME ON YOU, and may I kindly suggest that you switch to El Milagro tortilla chips? We're all fans and will thank you, trust me on this one, local restaurants. My thanks and appreciation go out to the staff at El Milagro. Austin loves what you're doing and so do I. Keep it up and please, don't change a thing :) read more

The taste of Milagro is poppin' and deckin' wild! Money financial low preciously priced. Bamboo banga! Five out of five! read more

It doesn't get much better than El Milagro. Whether in their store front or at the grocery, their chips are the best on the shelf. The Blancas tortillas are awesome. If you go to the store, they have two kinds of flour tortillas (or at least last time I was there): with and without preservatives. I haven't had to go to the store lately because they finally have decent distribution in town. read more

Awesome corn chips, and small selection of sweet breads. IMO, best place to buy massa for tamales! They make it fresh in the back of their store, and sell it to you warm. Chicharrones are soft and not too salty. Tastes wonderful mixed in scrambled eggs. read more
