A few coworkers and I ordered delivery. They ordered tacos and I opted for the steak plate. The steak was seasoned well but a little tough. Unfortunately I didn't have a knife so had to bite off the steak since they came in big slices. The rice, beans and cabbage were also seasoned great. I'd definitely come in person so that I could experience everything fresh and hot off the grill. read more

My little review won't matter, but I am afraid this was a one and done for me. It's pricey, and ordering with a language barrier made it difficult. So many options, and I felt rushed. I also felt like this was more cafeteria than restaurant. The interiors weren't anything fancy, though the food was truly excellent read more

Taqueria El Milagro completely lived up to the hype. I traveled nearly 90 minutes by bus to get here, and it was worth the effort. The chicken mole with rice and beans was phenomenal, seasoned perfectly and gave me that comforting, homemade feeling of mom's cooking. The champurrado was also incredible and hit the spot. If you want authentic Mexican food in Chicago, don't hesitate. Highly recommend! read more

This is my all time favorite taco spot in the entire city. I've been coming here for over 20 years and it still doesn't disappoint. Make the stop when you are near it anytime! Love the tortillas and the salsa roja the most. read more

Stopped by Taquería El Milagro and tried three tacos: carnitas in salsa verde, bistek in chile de árbol sauce, and bistek asado. The flavors were definitely impressive, and the portions were HUGE -- they even came with rice and beans, which was a nice surprise. The bistek asado was hands down my favorite -- perfectly grilled and packed with flavor. The bistek in chile de árbol had a great spicy kick and was super flavorful. The carnitas in salsa verde had nice flavor too, but the meat wasn't as warm as I'd hoped -- it felt just a bit cold, which threw it off slightly. All the tacos were topped with cabbage, which wasn't really my thing. I'd probably skip that next time, just a personal preference. Also, the house hot sauce had good flavor but lacked heat -- I would've loved more spice. Despite a couple of small misses, I'll definitely be back to try more of the guisados and one of their tamales. This place has great potential and some seriously satisfying tacos! read more

Review Date: 4/16/25 | Check #467 The food was decent -- not bad at all, just pretty okay. But the service really brought the experience down. It ruined our experience. The cashier, Diana, who also brings the food to the tables, was extremely unprofessional. She kept rolling her eyes the entire time, especially when we asked about regular tacos and found out they only come with rice, beans, and salad. Note to the manager: Service plays a huge role in a customer's experience. Attitudes like Diana's make people think twice about coming back. (The 2 ladies in the picture are not Diana) read more

Always a great experience and they've always been a favorite of mine. Whether your in little village or Pilsen El Milagro always hits on another level. The Tamales although not huge they're always on point. They are very consistent with the food always being fresh and tasty. Since they' are considered comida casera. (Home made food but restaurant style). Anyway, The Bean w cheese and Rajas w cheese tamales are my favorite. During lent get the shrimp ones. Theeee best. My preference is always the Tamales but all the food as a whole is just always on point. The tacos are made with cabbage instead of cilantro/onion or lettuce/tomato. Different to most but delicious to me. Try the champurado too. It's like a sweet liquid tortilla latté. Hahaha. (Best on a cold morning but always good). El Milagro imo is one of the best in the Pilsen and Little Village. Just ask the lines waiting to get in on the weekends. No pics cause I usually can't wait to snort down them tamales. Hahaha. Parking in LV is easier since they have a lot but Pilsen is a little more difficult since it's street parking. But looking for parking is worth it. See you there. read more

El Milagro, translates in English as, the miracle. Upon entry, everything was right; it smelled right, we were welcomed right and the verde chicken tamales were absolutely done right. It was definitely, a little miracle. The folks working here are some of the warmest, most polite and hospitable people I've ever encountered. I felt like family, truly. There was ranchera playing and plenty of seating. The line was long but moved swiftly. We ordered steak tacos and tamales. Everything was so flavorful and authentic. The tacos smelled like home because we only use El Milagro tortillas for tacos back home. This is one very special place -- I walked away feeling like I had been nurtured. I plan to purposely look for ways to get back here rápidamente or as we say, quickly :) read more

Food is great! The only issue is they're not organized at all for take out. Makes no sense the food is already ready and it takes 30 plus minutes to give you the food to go. So many workers and they lack communication. read more

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! read more

I was in the area for jury duty and we were given an hour for lunch. I wasn't excited over the idea of eating courthouse food and was looking for alternatives. Upon suggestion from a friend, El Milagro was the place to go. I drove there and arrived around noonish. When I got in, a line to the counter had formed. While waiting, I looked up at their menu and decided on carne asada tacos to go. When it was my turn to order the lady at the counter asked if I wanted rice and beans and I said yes. I paid, she gave me my number and proceeded to wait towards the back of the restaurant where orders are picked up. My Spanish vocab is minimal. I can comprehend a few words but can't carry conversation. Be aware they call out order numbers in Spanish. Make sure you heard right otherwise run the risk of walking away with someone else's food which is a BIG no-no. I was cautious and just showed my number to the person manning the takeout section. I received my meal after waiting for 10 minutes. Bag in tow, I drove back to the courthouse to eat my lunch. Once I found a place to eat, I opened up my brown bag and saw my 3 tacos, sauces, napkins and silverware. I was like, "That's it? Where are my rice and beans?" At this point I didn't plan on returning, (I only had 30 minutes of lunch left) nor was I looking to call and complain to say I was missing my sides of rice and beans. However, I noticed the 3 tacos I ordered were super thick and larger than what I'm used to receiving. I opened up one, dressed it with salsa verde and took a bite. It was pretty damn tasty! The taco was filled with plenty of flavorful charred meat and then there it was! Embedded in the taco were my rice and beans! They didn't forget. That's just how they roll here and I was pleasantly surprised by it. El Milagro is a solid joint for delicious fast Mexican food ensuring you get a lot for value. For those driving in, there is a dedicated parking lot to the left of the restaurant along 26th street. This was a good find and I would for sure return when I find myself in Little Village. read more

Auténtica Mexican cuisine, the only reason why I'm giving 4 stars is because I've never seen employees working in a 90degrees environment, dining room was hot, imagine the counter kitchen?

Food was great! Had awesome service. The restaurant had great vibes. The parking was adequate

If you want to score some great tamales, you have to get there before 9 am. They have great chilaquiles for breakfast too. It's a little far for me. Wish there was a Milagro closer to me. It really is worth the drive if you are in the mood for authentic Mexican Breakfast food. read more

Taqueria El Milagro - Closed on Mondays - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is my first time visiting this location of El Milagro tacos on 26th ST. Upon entering you smell the delicious grilled meats. They have a hot food line behind plexiglass where you can see all the variety available for tacos or plate lunches before ordering. It is a clean restaurant with plenty of food variety. Casual ambiance and quick service. Ordered the asada tacos with salad only. They do have loud music playing and it stays very busy. The tacos are still good but lack seasoning and the tortillas are not even warm. The aguas frescas are not homemade which was a downer. read more

This is Rounded up from 3.5 stars. First of all, Hats off to the brand recognition for El Milagro tortillas. Milagro mean Miracle in Spanish and these tortillas are in every store throughout Chicagoland. They've got a few restaurants here in Chicagoland and they're in GA and elsewhere. That's great, how they've been able to spread their presence out. Went to the original spot I believe, in Little Village, which is the closest thing to being in Mexico in the Midwest. Right on 26th St. and they have a convenient parking lot. Try to come early (like 11:00 a.m.), as many reviewers have pointed out. Otherwise the line really backs up. What I really like is that they have an on-site Security guard who also guides you to your table - which is in a plexiglass enclosure, complete with a sliding door. That's really cool and I like that separation without feeling claustrophobic. As for the food, the steak platter was a clear winner, it came with plenty of steak and it comes well done. As for the tacos, it's kinda new to me - on top of two tortillas, they put onions and refried beans along with your protein. So you definitely need a knife and fork. There's no way you can pick that up with your hands. My chicken mole taco was not breast meat but rather, a thigh with bones. And the lengua came in a red sauce instead of being dry, which is what I'm accustomed to. The stuffed poblano came with red sauce and it got a little soggy but it was good. The food was plentiful and you won't go away hungry. read more

Después de ser uno de los mejores restaurantes de la 26, es el peor; hace una semana compré tacos de bistec en salsa de árbol y era más manteca que nada. Hoy le di otra oportunidad con tamales y lo mismo, bastante manteca en la masa; incominles, aumentó masa y manteca, los chiles rellenos no tienen ese sabor del chile poblano. Todo aumentó de precio y la calidad bajo enormemente, que lastima read more

Great Mexican real food, great big portions, clean and nice atmosphere , I will go back and eat more items from menu

Good was delicious and timely. It is the perfect place to stop for a quick and caudal bite.

Can you say Deliciously authentic Mexican cuisine at a bargain basement price! I tried the beef and steak tacos and the steak tacos hit it out of the park for me. Big, Juicy, tender and flavorful what more can a girl ask for. Customer service was amazing and inside seating was reinvented. CDC guidelines fully enforced. Each dining table was enclosed with sturdy plexiglass - how ingenious was that! I'm hooked so I'm coming back for the dine in experience. read more

I've have always gone to the El Milagro in Pilsen and I finally made it out to this El Milagro on 26th. The line was out the door, but it moved somewhat quick. As soon as you enter and look to the right, you'll see the cooks in the corner cooking their carne Asada on the grill. It looks so damn delicious! Back in the day I was ignorant and didn't really appreciate how they serve tacos here. It's not your traditional taqueria with cebolla y cilantro and like 8 different types of meat. Here you'll get cafeteria style food. Where everything is laid out and you can eee them making everything right in front of you. Instead of cebolla y cilantro, they add rice, beans and cabbage. Any any given weekend, a Mexican backyard bbq will consist of tacos with rice and beans. So when you come to El Milagro and order tacos, just know you're eating some pretty damn good home cooked food that any Mexican would offer you in their own homes. My wife always gets their Puerco en salsa verde taco. The pork is so tender and the sauce adds some amazing flavor. I usually get a couple bites from her taco, but my main order is two carne Asada tacos. Rice, beans, carne Asada topped with cabbage. The carne Asada is seasoned and grilled to perfection. It's so tender and goes well with their homemade Milagro tortillas. They also give you salsas to add to this amazing taco. I will admit, the tacos are a little difficult to eat, and if you don't have a large appetite than one taco might be all you need. El Milagro has stayed consistent throughout the years and I don't see it ever changing. Can't wait to come back! read more

Couldn't get a taco with cilantro and onion. I've had it! It was all terrible. Ugly looking meat. Grizzle terrible A burrito and two tacos. I will never eat there again. Poison some other cacation should have served it to a dog. $24. Shot flushed down the toilet. She smiled and grinned speaking with a broke Spanish. With the spermatic English word to keep ya hopeful.no tamales no cilantro and onion. Grinning sorry. $24. Wasted flushed . Used to tell people try El Milagros. Never again. No onions and cilantro. Cops sitting around doing nothing. Sure that they got good food. I'm a short fat white guy. The line to order was crowded this human kept crowding me in line . As I started to move forward noticed that the guy he had not been given his change. So I stand still and feel my elbow on her breast. The human got at least 3 looks. I look at her like WTF are you doing. She grins read more

This restaurant is adjacent to the El Milagro Tortilla factory. You'll find so many delicious things here. My recommendations are the pork green chile verde and the bistec a la Mexicana (Mexican steak). It comes with Mexican rice, refried beans, and slaw. The slaw is really quite good, sweet, refreshing, and light. It comes with a choice of flour or corn tortillas--I implore you to try their fresh corn tortillas, because nothing beats a fresh corn tortilla. read more

Great food service and quality! Everyone was friendly and prices were great will return ! Freen parking and felt safe security everywhere!

Had breakfast there on Sunday morning, and the staff was great. We walked up to the counter and ordered our food, and the cashier was helpful. I ordered the Castillas en Salsa Verde, but it wasn't as spicy as I had hoped. The beans and arroz were good, though. So glad the tortillas were fresh and homemade. My girlfriend got the Assada tacos, however, the meat was more of larger cuts of the Accherra meat and not diced, okay flavor. read more

Um yum. This place is a neighborhood delight. Feels very local. Love that there's parking too. What a plus! Upon entering you can't help but notice all the protocols they have in place. They have tables with plastic walls for social distancing and there's an organized system with ordering. Very clean too- especially the tables and bathrooms. Sometimes it's so busy with a line out the door so maybe an off time would be a good idea- we went around 12 and were just in time. As we left around 1 is was very busy. The workers were so nice. They even let me practice my Spanish. They did have a mess up with the cash register and we had to re-name all our food so it took a long time. They were apologetic and kind about it though. The veggie tosta was great but heavy on the bread. The chips were incredible- thick and homemade. Amazing sauces and great flavor all around. The tacos looked amazing. Jealous. They have tamales- tons of options that change daily and are pretty cheap. That's kinda one of their things and it checks out. There are sweet and savory ones- didn't even know that was a thing! Fun! We got some to go. Very heavy and dense but when we split them they were a great little snack throughout the day. Next door is the tortilla factory- stop by for some to go torts! read more

There aren't too many options near the courthouse but Little Village is nearby and why not go to El Milagro? My sister and I came in for a late lunch and it hit the spot. I will say that our meal did come out to a little more than 20 bucks but that's because we tried really, really hard. I had three tacos, the asada, chiccaron and lengua as well as a tamale and a jamaica and my sister basically mirrored that order. An asada taco is pretty hard to mess up and they didn't. I felt that there was too much salsa on the chiccaron taco and it made everything soggy. The lengua though was on point but again, just drowned in sauce; I'm a messy eater to begin with and adding that to the mix didn't help. I will say though that the best part of our respective meals were the tamales. I had a carnitas one and it was the right amount of masa to meat ratio. Hopefully, on your visit there'll be someone selling churros outside to end your meal. read more
