About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Chicago’s vibrant Little Village neighborhood, Taqueria El Milagro offers an authentic Mexican dining experience that’s both comforting and unforgettable. Specializing in traditional Mexican fare, this local gem is a haven for anyone craving bold, hearty flavors crafted with care and passion.

The menu at Taqueria El Milagro reads like a love letter to classic Mexican cuisine, with standout dishes such as the Taco Grande, Bistec, and the Carne Asada Plate showcasing perfectly grilled meats bursting with smoky, juicy notes. The Steak Plate and Steak Tacos Skirt Steak deliver tender, flavorful cuts that melt in your mouth, while the Lengua En Salsa Roja and Guisado De Lengua offer a rich, savory depth for those adventurous enough to indulge. For a comforting touch, the Sopa De Fideo is a hearty, soul-warming noodle and potato soup, pairing beautifully with house-made chips, fresh salsa verde, and crumbled queso fresco.

The tortillas here are no afterthought — made fresh daily, they lend a warm, pillowy texture that elevates every taco and torta served. The Chicken Mole Taco is a particular standout, marrying complex, velvety mole sauce with tender grilled chicken, leaving a memorable spicy-sweet kick on your palate. For sides, options like the Refried Beans and Mexican Rice provide hearty complements, though some visitors note the rice is more subdued, which might appeal to those who prefer milder flavors.

    Steak taco is the move here. Steak is nicely grilled with good flavor. Taco is absolutely bursting at the seams with rice beans and cabbage. Personally next time I would do just steak. Too much stuff in there to be a taco, for me.

    Delicious tacos and amazing variety of yummy Mexican food dishes. The security guard there was really friendly! He helps us get seated and napkins/to go boxes. The service is pretty quick despite the long lines! The restaurant is very clean and the shop is also quick to ring you out! I always enjoy coming here!

    Use to just come here to pick up freshly made tortillas. The food is fantastic, reminded me of mom's cooking. Service was great, seating was a little hard to get a group of 5 in but we managed.

    Free, easy parking. Only waited in line for 5 minutes for lunch on a Saturday. Cheese tamales were excellent with large slivers of chili. Beans were deliciously seasoned. Jalapeno Asado was fantastic, but sadly only a single jalapeno in an order. Wife's steak quesadilla was excellent. Rice was pretty bland and disappointing though.

    Well worth the drive. Some friends came out of town and we were looking for authentic food. This restaurant hit the mark. The pork grinds in green salsa and cactus salad were phenomenal!!! Our party also had Tortas, beef in sauce and carne asada tacos. No complaints. Love the service and attention!!

    Food was delicious. Lunch line vibe. Super friendly. Great experience. I absolutely love the set up. Spent about 31.78 for 2 large coffees and 2 plates which was very fulfilling and delicious.
