Food, Family and Fun! Food - Amazinggggg…read moreFamily - so sweet and kind. And went in with MY old Grass Valley Family! And Yuvi our server was so sweet and took this awesome photo of us! Fun - everyone who came inTo eat or pick up the most amazing takeout (which was a TON of people while I was there on a Sunday night) was as excited for their food as we were!! Thank youuuu El Milagro for the win!!!

After an outing to the local Empire Mine State Park a quick yelp search brought us here. Had we…read moreknown there was only one cook that night and our food would take just a bit OVER AN HOUR to be served we might have gone elsewhere. But we would have missed out on the YUMMY fresh flavors. We didn't know until we waited 35 minutes that there was only one cook at which point you think, "we've already waited this long... might as well stay". I know it's a small place so every penny counts but maybe a small consolation of regularly filling the complimentary beans/ salsa and chip basket would have helped (it got refilled only upon request) or offer another soda/ drink on the house or a complimentary dessert at the end. The decor is culturally cute and well loved and restaurant appeared clean. There seemed to be a couple of other tables celebrating special events so I'm sure that didn't help the wait time since they were kind of busy with groups. In any case, the food was good! The little guy ordered his two soft tacos with only carne asada, hubby had carne asada plate which came with grilled onion and nopale paddle, I got the carnitas plate. We got both the flour and corn tortillas which didn't seem homemade but warmed perfectly. The rice and beans pass my Mexican palate test - hooray!!! The meats were all flavorful and not over cooked. AND - OMG the green salsa that came with my carnitas--- this wonderful little cup was a surprise of heaven! I could have eaten that salsa all day everyday!!! The nopale was cooked just perfectly too. For drinks we had an Agua Mineral, a Mexican Coke and agua fresca de melón. Next time we head to the mines for a hike we'll probably drop by again... and maybe make sure there is enough help that there won't be such a long wait. No complaints and only praises in everything that we ate and drank!!

Had the one opportunity to give this place a try the other night, and the reviews were spot on…read more Food was amazing for a small restaurant, and the staff I encountered were great. As per some reviews, I had to try the crispy tacos, mine were pollo asado, and a bean burrito. Let me warn you, the two tacos were plenty of food on their own! That said, both items had exceptional flavor. If I was in town longer, I'd have definitely returned to try other options.

I have mixed feelings about this place. Their tacos Al Pastor are fantastic, but there are other…read moreareas that are very lacking. Their salsa bar is pretty meh, with none of the salsas having much spice or depth of flavor. Their salsa bar is probably the worst of the local taquerias in town. Their burritos are also half the time comically small. For example, here's a bean/rice/cheese burrito. Keep in mind this is not a kids burrito, but the regular size. This was full price and not much larger than a taco bell burrito. My suggestion if you go here is to stick to the tacos.

Eclectic ,funky, artsy interior with original art pieces and unique furnishings…read more We sat outside with friends who have been coming here for twenty years and let them do the ordering. The heat lamps were on in the enclosed area out front and they have cushions for the wrought iron chains and a shelf of blankets for customers to use. Complimentary Chilean bread rolls brought to the table right away with garlic herb butter, salsa verde sauce (chimicuri like) so good,made the old fashioned way with pork fat. Calamari Frito, Cajun seasoning,light and crunchy with a house made tarter sauce (excellent server brought us an additional tarter) Crab stuffed chili Relleno was a creative version of this meal I've eaten dozens of times,feta and a sweet sauce with the rock crab was delicious. Panqueque especial ,chorizo had a little kick but was cooled off by the pineapple and sweetness of the crepe. All baked together with rice,cheese,guac,veggie's on the side,this was a big meal that was packed with a savory mix of flavors,my favorite thing I sampled. Honey shirachi shrimp, jalapeno, bacon, pineapple,on slaw. Big shrimp,big taste in the sauce, excellent appetizer or can be ordered as a full meal. Fort Rock beer on tap ,live music,fun place and I will be back.

Yummy snack to take the edge off our hunger. We ordered honey sraracha pork loin and the fish taco plate. Yum!

Real deal taqueria food. The salsa bar is the move. Big spread of house made salsas and condiments so you can dial in your tacos exactly how you want them.

The service was great and others in our party were happy with their meal. I really want to try the pozole, but I think I might ask for a sample first. Food should not be cooked with so much salt.

Honestly it was cooked better than the burger I ordered for myself. Really like the truffle fries here but the burger was mediocre. The honey chicken Mac and cheese was not my favorite, it could use more cheese. Service is super friendly and I enjoyed the vibes here.

We ordered takeout and were really disappointed with the experience. Our order included a sandwich…read morewith fries, tacos, half-and-half wings, a Caesar salad, and dessert, but when we got home, both the wings and the salad were missing. We called right away, and while the employee apologized and admitted it was their mistake, the only solution offered was to "take it off the bill." That doesn't really help when you've already driven 30 minutes home and now have an incomplete meal. Mistakes happen, but how they're handled matters. Offering a refund doesn't fix the inconvenience, the time lost, or the fact that part of our dinner was missing. A better effort to make it right would have gone a long way. We didn't just lose money...We lost time, convenience, and part of your meal. A manager should have gotten on the phone and said something like, 'I'm really sorry, we messed up. Let me fix this for you.' A sincere effort to problem-solve, not just a refund. Really hoping more attention is paid to orders moving forward.

I got 2 asada tacos for just under 6 bucks and they were full of meat! Flavors were awesome and enough to share! They have a complimentary salsa bar with chips and my favorite - pink habanero salsa!
