Love their tortillas. Buying from the factory, they are fresher and cheaper. They have easy free parking next door. I usually buy a case of corn tortillas.

This place is great. My only dislike is that sometimes they won't let you order over the phone. Sometimes they do if you pay up front. Lastly, you can't pick up the order if you're not the card owner that placed the call over the phone. They give you a hard time.Wheelchair accessibility: There is one parking spot for disabled and it is wheelchair accessible, but the doors are not automatic.

Steak tacos as always still so good. But the chile relleno are awful. The cheese taste like American cheese. Need to correct it. Pineapple juice is delicious.

I'm going to be 100% honest , I don't sugar coat things, honestly, I grew up in the neighborhood ate their food many times, but honestly, looks like some of these employees or even maybe all of them dont seem to even care. Many times when I would order the chicken plate or even the carne plate, they would put the food in the Styrofoam containers, and the chicken and carne would burn and melt the Styrofoam That's really messed up because the Styrofoam that melted onto the food can make you really sick. Sometimes, the chicken and meat had a weird flavor like if the meat was like sour or old. It tasted bad. Also, these cooks don't even know how to season the food properly. Many times, they put like a ton of salt for a carne plate or even a chicken plate. Even the beans had so much salt. A couple of times when the chicken or meat was overseasoned by salt that i tried to rinse off the salt. Other times, i just ate a little bit and threw out the rest of the salty chicken and meat. If your cooks don't know how to properly season the food without overseasoning it, then its time to replace those cooks with other cooks that would do their job right and not put tons of salt on the food. Many times, I also would only get like 2 very thin pieces of chicken breast and even on the meat plate. Also when you order a chicken or meat burrito they rip you off and put less meat like only 1 piece of chicken or meat in those burritos and like tons of lettuce to make it look like they put a good amount of meat in there but its mostly lettuce, tomatoes, rice and beans, sour cream that has the most. They charge a good amount of money for these plates and rip people off and don't put enough meat in there. You people are charging a good amount of money for a plate of chicken and meat. The customers are willing to pay the money you guys are charging, but you people end up ripping people off. Be honest with your customers because they are the ones bringing you guys money. If not, you guys are going to keep losing customers.

Platillo #1 for the win. Place is worth the trip. For the price, you can’t beat it.

Really nice experience. Good food, large portions, great value for money. I really liked the old world charm the place has. Limited choice though.

Service was fine and the location was clean and plenty of street parking. Asada was tough and super salty. Construction was poor as well as many of the ingredients had shifted to the end of the burrito.

All I have to say is terrible. Food lacks flavor. Definitely not authentic Mexican food. Was definitely disappointed. Best thing here was the Coca Cola. I will not be coming back.

So disappointed, they recently raised up the price and the portions are smaller. Gentrification.

Food didn't have much flavor. Tried lengua taco and chicharrón and both were not that great lacked flavor and tasted like watered down canned tomato sauce. I had to ask employees 3 times if I could try the green avocado salsa until finally they gave me some and was dissapointed by it. Agua de piña tasted like it was artificial and watered down.Tried the green chicken tamales and they were okay but a bit dry.My husband tried the steak torta and said it was okay. Now I know why it took me almost a decade to go again to try it. Will not be a returning customer.

I grew up in the suburbs and got Mexican food from Chi-Chi's and Taco Bell. I found real Mexican food on a trip to Mexico. El Milagro brought me back to Guadalajara. I had three tacos: Lengua de Res (beef tongue in tomato sauce), Chicharrón en salsa Verde (Pork Skin in spicy Green Sauce), and Bistek Asado (Grilled Steak). Tamale salsa Roja. The beef tongue was tender and savory; I would get this again. The Pork Skin in Green sauce was too spicy for me. However, I found the steak tough. The tamale was savory and dangerously addictive.Parking: Parking is metered and monitored. You may get ticketed.

?Unfortunately, human beings are crueler among themselves. Now it turns out that because you are drunk or homeless you can no longer eat inside the restaurant, even if it is on a corner, they call it takeout only. The man was just hungry, a good Samaritan wanted to buy him a warm dish and the man ate at the table like everyone else does. The workers said no and the security asked him to leave without understanding what the Latino man wanted, it was just a tortilla because I was hungry. Everything there is disposable cutlery, what was the problem, is the table thrown away and disinfected? What was the problem with eating there? We are in Lent, some people, even so, people are NOT charitable, helping others, they do not feel the pain or suffering of another person. MORAL..Don't treat how you would NOT like to be treated.
