    I'm so torn on this one. The food itself was delicious. Seriously. All the flavors were there... the ones you look for whenever you go to a Mexican place that often are absent in other parts of the country. So why the 3 stars? Unfortunately most of the order was put together wrong. :/ I ordered a large side of rice and refried beans with no cheese, side of sour cream, pico de gallo, flour tortillas, and chips and salsa. The only things that were in the bag when I checked it out at the car? Beans and rice in two separate little boxes instead of the big container they said they would use (this made it harder/messier to eat in the car) and chips and salsa. Most of the sides were missing and there was cheese on all the beans. They gave me my tortillas, sour cream, and pico when I went back, and removed the cheese, but I was honestly really glad I checked before driving off.

    Sangarita with Tajin!

    Looking for some Mexican food for our 1 night stay at the Campground. Not sure why the bad reviews, but the service and the food were both amazing here! The "sampler platter" gave a little taste of everything, the hubby LOVED the Camarones Al Mojo de ajo and his sangria margarita (don't forget the tajin)! The beans with the chips were prefect to start and the staff were all extremely attentive and accomodating! Highly recommend.

    Carnitas, carne asada & lengua

    If you're a fan of grease head on down to Ray's Food Place and plop down next door for a big ole platter of grease. No need to ask for extra. They are very generous with their grease. No skimping here. You might leave here thinking you escaped the grease trap but about six hours later your stomach will cramp intensely for about ten minutes while the grease slides through your intensities. Thank goodness it doesn't make you erupt but you'll be wishing you could so the pain would stop. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of grease all over my tacos. Also, I prefer my carnitas to be crispy and my lengua to not have weird jiggly chunks. When I pass through Cloverdale next time I'll leave the grease for others to slip and slide through.

    Outrageous! Delicious! Gracious hosts serving scrumptious food. We seriously cannot finish the burrito we are sharing because, the tortilla soup is huge, flavorful .... full of chicken, tortilla strips, avocado, sour cream, cheese and incredible broth. It a generous order. I think the largest I've ever had. The service is so great too. They refilled our chips (homemade) and salsa snd bean dip which are all gratis. It's worth a drive to Cloverdale just for the soup, We had mole burrito. It was a sweet, rich and flavorful mole....Reminded of our mole in Oaxaca . We love Mexican food . This is by far, the best we've had in a long while.

    How much we spend.

    We had an early dinner after doing at tour at Russian River Rail bikes. There is plenty of parking,…read morewhich is convenient. We were warmly welcomed. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside in the shade and it was really nice. It has a relaxed atmosphere and we were given chips and salsa. I ordered the Ensalada El Milagro and it was delicious! All of the ingredients were so fresh and complimented each other well! The staff working here were so friendly, kind, and attentive. I also love that three locals own this together so when you dine here you know you are supporting a locally owned restaurant. I've eaten at the Healdsburg location several times. This was the first time I've been to the Cloverdale location and we love both locations. Such amazing and flavorful food! Highly recommend!

    We stopped at El Milagro for a late lunch on our way home from Anderson Valley. The restaurant was…read morealmost entirely empty, but it was an awkward time between lunch and dinner. We were seated in the large (dog-friendly) outdoor area near the entrance. I stuck with water, but my friends really liked the cocktails, including the Mango Margarita and Paloma. For food, I ordered the Enchiladas Special, which had chicken and salsa verde. This was just okay - the shredded chicken was pretty dry and served on the outside of the enchiladas, which I hadn't seen before. I also tried a bite of my friend's Carne Asada Quesadilla, which I liked more - still pretty standard though. The best item was the Guacamole with Esquites we ordered for the table - so fresh and tasty, and the corn kicked it up a notch. Service was friendly and fast!

    My wife, her mom, and I were driving north to Eureka, passing through Cloverdale during lunchtime…read more Flavia's appeared as a restaurant with very strong ratings, so decided to dine-in for an early lunch. It was a good experience, with good food and OK service. There is a dedicated lot next to the stand alone building, so parking was easy. The open sign was on, but the ambiance appeared sleepy, so guessing that it gets a lot busier later in the day. There were two people working, and once we got the front-of-house's attention, were seated at a comfortable table for 4. Complementary chips and salsa were provided Reviews and self-proclamations clearly state that birria (beef) was worth getting, so my wife got the Quesadilla Birria ($13.99), and her mom got the Camarones al Ajillo (shrimp in garlic sauce $19.99). The menudo wasn't available, so I got the Pozole ($15.75) instead. They have cans and bottles of soda and beer, with a can of Coke being $2.50. Everything was good. The quesadilla was more like a grilled burrito (or chimichanga), and had been nicely crisped. My wife really enjoyed it. The shrimp plate came with rice and beans, which were OK, and choice of flour or corn tortilla (average). The large prawns were nicely cooked with a flavorful sauce. My pozole had good flavor without too much fat (the excess had obviously been skimmed) and was quite hot, though I wish it had more hominy and pork. My wife later found out that the meat used here is butchered on-site and that care is taken to remove excess fat. It really shows: all the meat dishes were not greasy and there wasn't the pools of fat that often accompany hastily prepared dishes. It was appreciated. Clover is the payment processor and there is a 3% fee for using a credit card.
