Review from Nicole G.
Went here for lunch with my husband, my parents and my brother. We all had something different and everything was good. I had the Tacos Rosarito with shrimp, avocado, and crema. It was great. My Dad had the Pollo con Mole. He said the mole was excellent - spicy and rich, a complex flavor. My husband had the barbacoa burrito and he said it was excellent. My Mom had the fish tacos and "it was so good I couldn't believe it." My brother had the vegetarian burrito. Service was a little slow but since the tortillas were made fresh, I can excuse that a bit. The wait staff wear blue and white plaid shirts which is a little odd for a Mexican restaurant but whatever.

The service was horrible, and the food wasn't great either... Especially for the price! I've lived in California and Florida and have been to Mexico 3 times, so I've had amazing Mexican food in my life and I feel I have a very fair evaluation. The host was the only semi-pleasant part of the experience. We went in after walking by, and he let us eat even though we didn't have a reservation. I was kinda surprised that a Mexican restaurant would have reservations to be frank.
The server was cold, short, and refused to switch out my chicken taco tortillas from corn to flour stating "the chef won't make them that way". After getting the tacos, I realized that there was no physical reason this couldn't be done. Rather, it was a snobby response to my taste.
I didn't eat much of my meal, and when I was done I asked the server if I could get a to-go box. I had one taco and the "majority" of my rice and beans left on my plate to take home. The next day when I opened the box, I noticed that I only had one taco (missing the avocado that was on it) and no rice and beans. So, I ended up paying like $14 (plus tax and tip) for one small taco and a few bits of my sides. I don't believe a server should ever determine what you do and do not want.
It took us "literally" 20 minutes to get the server's attention for the bill after all that.
My partner and I decided to try it out again (crazy i know) because it's right across the street. We got the tortilla soup. Horrible! And of course, another cold server!
They seem to be trying to give this vibe that they're upscale Mexican food. Horribly executed! They've forgotten the basics, good food and good service!
I actually wrote an email to Milagro about my concerns over a month ago. I never heard anything back. :/ -

This is a maddeningly overpriced, careless attempt at a Mexican "cantina." But the chilly atmosphere, slapdash food, and indifferent service do not even come close.
The manager obsessively cleans and cleans -- and yes, all those *empty* tables are indeed clean -- while arriving guests sit in front of their menus for 15 minutes before even being asked what they would like to drink. The food is just this side of horrible, and certainly not worth the alarmingly inflated prices.
Definitely to be avoided. -

I, like Rafi N. have not eaten out at many Mexican restaurants (at least not in Toronto).
I found myself at Milagro's as the first stop of Dishcrawl King Street Part 1 of 2.
The pros:
Friendly service
Complimentary Pitcher of Sangria
Good selection of cocktails
Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce (yowsers!)
Very tender lamb
The cons:
A very powdery tasting tortilla? They were warm, but the texture was just off for me.
A very bland pulled pork, also not tender.
The food was barely warm. Verdict - it (as well as the tortillas) had been sitting out for awhile.
Considering that Dishcrawl is an opportunity to showcase your restaurant, I felt that Milagro's disappointed. I don't think I'll be coming back. -

The food is not bad but it's very expensive for what you get. I usually go on Margarita Tuesdays where the Margaritas are about 10$...they are almost 20$ on a regular basis, which is asinine because they are full of ice, sugar and not full of alcohol.
I wouldn't highly recommend Milagros to anyone but, when I went, I enjoyed the Atun contramar (although small-ass portions), I like their chips, ceviche but the best thing I had was the salad with jicama, cilantro and mango (can't remember the name). I was shocked but it was the best thing I had there yet. -

The food here is real Mexican food, like the kind you find in Mexico City, not Tex Mex like you find in well...Texas. Or fast food restaurants like Taco Bell or Taco Time. And real Mexican food isn't something that is easy to find in Toronto. That being said, I feel that Milagro is a bit expensive for what you're getting, especially if you've been to places where Mexican restaurants abound (i.e. Mexico and large US cities). But I have accepted that being able to enjoy Mexican food in Toronto comes at a premium.
I've been to Milagro several times and I typically really enjoy the food, but I went there a few days ago (Apr 2011) and it wasn't as good as my previous experiences but I don't know if it was a one-off experience or a permanent change for the worse.
As usual though, the guacamole was really good and freshly made. They use properly ripened avocado and diced onion and tomato. I order it every time, even at $10 for an appetizer (at least they give you a lot).
The lamb barbacoa (entree) is usually tender and soft, and one of my favourite dishes, but I've ordered it more than once and I've noticed that it varies; sometimes it's saltier and drier than other times. The lamb also has a pretty gamey flavour, so if you're not into that then you should steer clear of this dish.
The seafood enchilada was flavourful and as good as enchiladas get. The sauces that come on the enchiladas and other entrees are pretty tasty and authentic, as far as I know. It comes with rice and refried beans. The refried beans are really good. The rice is on par with other Mexican-style rices I've had.
They also bring you freshly fried chips to the table with salsa, as a complimentary appetizer. Both chips and salsa are consistently tasty.
The service was a bit slow for my liking, and this was at 7pm when the restaurant was only half full. The server only came by our table frequently during the beginning of our meal, and was nowhere to be found when we were near finished and wanted our bill. -

My bf and I went here after City Chase; tired, exhausted and hungry. We thought Mexican food would be appropriate and Milagros was a place I have always wanted to try. There is a patio outside and we chose to sit there - the inside was very dark and I am not sure if it was more for atmosphere or because they were cheap.
The menu appears to have typical Mexican dishes - for starters, we ordered the Nopales (Cactus and Tomato) and Refritos (the re-fried beans that have the consistency of mush and baby food.) They also provide crispy tortillas and salsa.
For something as exotic as cactus, I was very disappointed as it was soggy, tasteless and stringy. Initially, you might be thinking who would want to eat a prickly plant, but all thorns are removed and you end up with a green, soggy Twizzler.
For main course, I had the Carnitas Panchos which was quite disappointing as well. It essentially was pulled pork placed in a mound with little sprinkles of onions and tomatoes and a side of warm tortilla. I think the name of the dishes evokes images of Mexican food you see in Travel/Food magazines which is a complete let down when what you really get is something you could have created yourself. Notwithstanding, it tasted good, but nothing extraordinary. My bf had some meat dish that was entirely forgettable, but for dessert, we both decided to try the Natilla de Cajeta which is essentially Milagros' version of a Mexican Crème Caramel. If you are not already full by your main course, then you certainly will with this. When I returned from the bathroom (which was also very dark), my bf had already started eating the dessert, which had turned into a loose pudding. It was like drinking thick chocolate which I am not a fan of, however, I know some people like that consistency. The good thing is that I did not taste the goat milk which is a top of the dessert.
All in all, maybe I would come here for drinks as I did see many tequila and booze options. The bill came out to be $89.00 for two including two glasses of wine and a beer - The search for good Mexican food will have to continue. -

Disaster! Do not go - any other option in the area is better even Hooters!
We had a group dinner at Milagro last night - reservations made, restaurant not even close to full - but boy you would never know. Horrible, slow, distracted service. Took 45 minutes to get our drinks - and three out of six were sent back. The Guacamole took as long to arrive and bland - I have had better from food courts. We had to keep getting up from our table to get service from the bar, because our waiter either disappeared or walked away mid sentence. And we were not alone - I saw at least one other table threaten not to pay after waiting ridiculous amounts of time for service. The menu is over priced and the food only OK - not authentic and not well executed. I can think of 10 Mexican restaurants I would put well above this - do not go. We ended up leaving and going to order food around the corner...waste of money and totally frustrating.
This place does not deserve to be in business and any of the extra positive reviews are extremely suspect to me. -

If you have 2 hours to spend during lunch, go here.
Here's how it'll go down:
First three people will get their food 40 minutes after ordering.
The next person will get his food 10 minutes after that.
The other 2 will get their food about 15 minutes after.
If you like to wait for others' food to arrive while your food gets cold, you should go here.
Also, if you enjoy food swimming in a soup of salsa then this is the place for you. -

I've eaten here several times and I think the individuals comparing it to Taco Bell are completely jaded. I have my qualms with Milagro: the food is overpriced by around 20%, the drinks are overpriced by 50%, and the service at times is unbearably bad. That said, the food is good and authentic; definitely one of the better Mexican options in the downtown core. If the prices were dropped and the service improved, it would be a 5/5.

After reading Milagro's menu online, I had very high expectations. I lived in Mexico City for 5 years and it looked like a menu I would have seen there. I was unfortunately quite disappointed when I went to try it though. The meat was dry, the agua de sandia (watermelon water) flavourless, and they seemed to be catering to Canadian expectations of Mexican food rather than serving the authentic fare they claim to.
This place has so much potential. Good location(s), cool interior, and a menu that reads extremely well. I wish the owners would take a trip back to Mexico so they can remember what authentic Mexican food is supposed to be and serve it like that. -

I haven't eaten out at many Mexican restaurants, but I don't think this place counts as an authentic Mexican restaurant.
I came to Milagro with 3 friends. We were having a nice night walking around downtown and decided to have some Mexican food. None of us were impressed with our food.
The restaurant looked nice from the outside. As we entered, there was a big red curtain that you had to pull out of the way to get in, which I thought was unnecessary. However, inside the restaurant was nicely decorated and clean inside. The washrooms were also clean. The restaurant is quite big considering that there weren't many clients.
The staff were very friendly and courteous. I'm not sure if the staff actually ate the food they serve. The waiter was very good at selling the food with his detailed descriptions. It's a shame that the food doesn't live up to its expectations.
We started off with guacamole and nachos. The guacamole was quite bland but there was also some salsa (a very small portion) which tasted good, so you could mix the two.
To drink, I had a sangria, which was the special. The sangria was very carbonated and tasted like club soda and cranberry/grape juice. I couldn't detect a hint of any alcohol in it, which was a total bummer.
I ordered the Barbacoa, which on the menu says, "Slow roasted lamb wrapped in banana leaf served with salsa borracha." The menu also mentions that this dish is spicy. The waiter told me that the lamb was roasted for 6 hours in a banana leaf in some kind of beer sauce and that the salsa also used some kind of beer. When the barbacoa came, it was just a few slices of lamb loosely placed inside a leaf (not sure that it was a banana leaf) with 2 small cups of salsa and 3 tortillas. None of the food was spicy in the least. The tortillas tasted like they were store bought. The lamb tasted like it was boiled in salt water and was only placed in a leaf for decoration after cooking.
At the end, the waiter asked us if we wanted any dessert or coffee. He persisted and sounded kind of needy, probably because his manager was behind him, which was kind of creepy. My thought at this moment was, "No mas!"
The prices at the restaurant are all $1 more than the online menu. Food and drinks for 4 people came up to $100, which might not seem bad but for the quality of food the pricing is poor.
If you're looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, please avoid Milagro. Save yourself some money and head for the border: Taco Bell. -

The maitre'd told us that the restaurant is special because it serves "authentic" Mexican food. My thought? It was a slight step above a Taco Bell, with prices about 5 times as much as a Taco Bell. Case in point - my boyfriend ordered what he thought would be 4 tacos for $17 (ludicrous!), but ended up being 4 deep fried tortillas rolled with a bit of pork inside. Needless to say, we all probably could've topped up our meai with some street meat on John St., we were that hungry aftewards. The staff were at least friendly, when they didn't forget we existed! They were INCREDIBLY slow
I am pretty much convinced that anything in the "entertainment district' of Toronto is crappy, so all that to say, if you are going out in this area try to go elsewhere first. Not worth it. -

As an ex-Californian, I can't justify paying more than a few bucks for Mexican food; let alone close to $100 for a meal for 2. But that is exactly what Milagro expects you to do.
Admittedly, what you get at Milagro isn't what you'd normally find at a taqueria. They serve some impressive sounding entrees but the execution falls a little flat. Appetizers were okay. The Guacamole was nothing special. The Tostadas Vallarta was a little skimpy on the crab and tasted more like crab salad. The Tampiquena (steak) wasn't cooked to our specifications. We asked for medium rare and got a well done steak which was tough and stringy. The Conchinita Pibil was better. Tangy and spicy though just a tad dry. For dessert, we tried the Chocolate Mexicano. It had kick and a nice chocolate and cinnamon flavour. The margaritas aren't anything special but they do serve Mexican beer which complements well with the food.
All in all, it was ok. The service was a little lackadaisical and slow. The food was ok and certainly didn't warrant the price.
It's a little disappointing how there are few options for Mexican food in Toronto. What I'd do for a simple taqueria with some carne asada tacos... -

¡Ay, ay, ay, no es bueno!
Keep in mind, I don't have a whole lot of experience with Mexican food.
We started with the fish tacos. Not bad, a bit salty.
Followed with the Filete Poblano which is a fancy name for three (nicely prepared) chunks of tenderloin that you wrap in tortilla shells with cream sauce and caramelized onions.
Pescado Rodrigo which is grilled fish with cilantro, lime, olive oil and spicy potatoes. The potatoes were soft and tasty.
Fish was pretty good, the whole dish had a kick.
The dessert we ordered was the Trufa De Chocolate Maya, lava cake that the menu says comes with whipped vanilla cream, but ours came with something that resembled condensed milk. The cake was good, chocolatey, warm and oozy.
Overall the food was ok.
As for service, the staff was attentive and polite.
However, I found a mistake on the bill when I got home.
And I was pretty irritated with the waiter regarding the drink specials.
There are giant signs advertising Margarita night.
I chugged two of those down, they didn't tell me the special was for small ones, so I had to pay twice what I expected for the two large margaritas.
The prices are way too high for a half-empty Mexican restaurant.
Glorified steak fajitas type things: $23.95
Fish with potatoes usually $20 which they overcharged us: $23 .95
2 small fish tacos $10.96
2 overly salty and icy margaritas $15.90
Chocolate cake: $8.95
This meal cost way too much for what you got.
Dinner for two at a Mexican place for $100?!
I'm not a fan of empty restaurants (Even if it was a Tuesday after work).
I'm pretty sure I won't come back. I could go for fries supreme right now. -

I'm a little surprised by all the negative reviews. I realize it's more common to post negatively but the reviews don't tell you the full story. This is certainly not Taco Bell as some have said.
I really enjoy Mexican food (authentic and localized) and eat it whenever I can but I'm not Mexican or from California where really good Mexican food is everywhere and Toronto does have a severe lack of good Mexican so maybe it's just that I'm deprived but I consistently enjoy my experience at Milagro. I've eaten there for lunch and dinner and went with a group last evening.
Some of what is said it true, it's a overpriced as Mexican food goes and the margaritas at $15 each are the topper but I always enjoy my meal. IMO the problem is that expectations are set very high by the prices and the food is GOOD not GREAT. If Margaritas were half the price and the menu was 20% cheaper I think ratings would be significantly higher and the place would fill up. It's good food just not good value.
I've had:
Fish Tacos (B+) Tasty starter. I really liked them and you need an appetizer.
Guacamole (B) Good not Great, a little tasteless, fresh chips.
Atuna Contramar (B+) Nice presentation and delicious.
Burrito Carnita (A-) Fresh taste, moist meet, really enjoyed. Could use a better side as rice was just so-so,
Margarita (B) I think we've tried them all. At $7 they would be better. I prefer the Boracca which is less sweet having some beer in it. Hmmmm
They also have Okanagan Pale on draft (A). It's not Mexican but it's a great beer.
Service was good, Atmosphere is OK but feels a little undecided. Mexican?, lounge?, Sombreros everywhere?? Lucha Libra wrestling posters are interesting.
This could be a great restaurant with a few changes. -

You might as well get Taco Bell.
Milagro is an upscale Mexican Cantina. I don't see a problem with the concept but I was quite disappointed with the execution.
You know you have a problem when your server at a so called authentic Mexican restaurant doesn't even speak Spanish. If I am paying so much for an authentic Mexican experience, I want my server to be Mexican (or Latin American at most). If I wanted Mexican food served by white people, I would have gone to Taco bell.
Milagros Restaurant and Cantina is ridiculously overpriced. They charge $12 dollars for tiny flavourless taco. Keep in mind that you can get a delicious taco at Tacos El Asador for $2.50. (And your food will be served by someone who actually speaks Spanish!)
The dish presentation leaves a lot to be desired. I ordered some Enchiladas with Mole and the dish looked very messy and unappealing. The enchiladas were unbelievably bland and tasteless. They fell apart way too easily.
There's nothing miraculous about Milagro. Except for the fact that it will take a miracle to convince me to go again.
Save some money. Go to Tacos El Asador on Bloor/Christie instead. -

When it comes to mexican food, I am the furthest thing away from the last word. I admit it, I'm a mexican food dunce and what better way to make me feel EVEN more estupida than handing me a lunch menu full of Espanol. Tacos, taquitos, burritos, pescasdos, pollos, refritos = a very confused diner. extensive menu navigation later, I settled on Classic sangria, guacamole, and what I thought were taquitos but were actually tacos. el diablo at that.
The sangria had no fruit. Not one lemon in sight. It was a much watered down and sour version of the sangria I'm used to (the one with fruits). There are a few varieties on the menu and the classic must have been the most barren of them all. The guacamole was the most authentic at mashed avocados, tomatoes and a hint of cilantro and lemon. Its pleasant when you can count and see the number of ingredients in your food.
Next up was the tuna tacos and they met my expectations. A little lacklustre with chunks of tuna, sauteed onions and a slice of avocado with a side of rice and frijoles refritos (refried beans) that look and taste like a thick chocolate fudge. The El Diablo part was there but not pleasantly. The spice really stood out from the rest of the taco and I had to guac it over for some taste.
I needed another drink to wash it all down and it happened to be the tamarind margarita. Now thats something everyone should order at Milagro. They are open for drinks all day and do cocktails really well. I went here for lunch and dinner (not on the same day obv.) and the dinner menu and service is much better than lunch.
Did you know enchiladas were originated in Mexico? Neither did I. -

Wow, I didn't know that Mexican food could be so expensive and taste so ordinary!
My friend got a fish tacos...when it came, everyone at the table stared at how small the portion was. It was kinda shocking that the restaurant would have the nerve to serve that. My dish was just ok...nothing special...not memorable.
The service is ok and the taste is just ok. Nothing special at all. I would not recomend this restaurant to anybody. -

A quirky restaurant with a lot of potential! Everyone is right on here in that it is not a cheap restaurant but if they could get service and food quality under control it could be amazing and well worth the price.
The frozen strawberry margarita lacked strawberry flavour, the over abundant amount of guacamole was good, the fish was dry but the accompanying salsa was excellent! The side of refried beans were out of this world delicious so you can see what I mean by quality control. -

I'm also surprised at how negative the reviews are here. I went last weekend with a friend and we both enjoyed this restaurant. It certainly isn't perfect but it's worth checking out.
The food was good. It's not great and I'm not sure if it is authentic mexican but I was reasonably happy with my meal (though as others have posted, the guac is a little bland). My friend was quite happy with her enchiladas as well.
The service was fantastic. Our waitress was very attentive and answered all of our questions about individual dishes (and I was having a rather indecisive night so there were many questions). She also offered us a less expensive half order option when we tried to order a dish that would have been much too large for the two of us as a starter.
We had margeritas with our dinner and, while pricey, the cucumber margerita was an absolutely fantastic concoction which I will certainly be returning for when I need a treat. -

I went here last night for Margarita Tuesday. Its in the bottom of my building so I was quite excited to try it out. I walk past it every single day and its usually empty which worried me a little, I read the reviews on Yelp...all negative, but I was still determined I was going to like this place.
So a few of us went to check it out. Empty of course...maybe 3-4 other tables were there. First of all the waitress was patronizing which really irritated me. We were delberating over drinks because some of us didn't want to the classic margarita which is the only thing on special on Margarita but we did afterall come for Margarits Tuesday. She pointed out to us several times that only the classic Margarita was on special. Both verbally and visually by pointing this out on the menu. Um thanks...if you were actually listening to our converstation we are quite clear on the fact that only the classic margarita is on special.
Then we order. I'm completely astonished by the prices on the menu. I've been to upscale Mexican and have no problems paying a premium but even just by looking on the menu I could tell this was far from upscale. One of my friends asked the waitress if she had any recommendations. The waitress asked "Do you like spicy"? My friend said no, so the waitress proceeds to give her some non-spicy recommendations. Then she gets to me, I am in the mood for spicy and since her first question to my friend is "do you like spicy?" there must be something good thats spicy. So I ask " Is there anything that you recommend thats spicy?". She responds "Mexican food isn't spicy", so I saw "Oh you just asked my friend if she liked spicy?". Blank stare. Proceeds to recommend a few things. My friend ordered Chicken with mole sauce. She asked him if he had ever had mole sauce, he hadn't , he asked him if he liked cocoa, he said yes. She told him several times that mole sauce is very "different" and he should make sure he knew what he was getting into to. After he says, several times that he's sure it will be fine she allows him to order the mole sauce. A few minutes later she appears at the table with a sample of mole sauce just as a "precautionary measure". I mean I get it, mole sauce isn't for everyone but don't treat him like a child. Giving one warning about it is sufficient.
Food comes, its very lackluster. I had the conchita pibil, edible sure but not worth the $24 I paid for it. It was a little bland and really dry its and considering its stewed/pulled pork I'm a little confused about why it could get so dry. We had the guac to start, it was fine but nothing special.
So we finish eating and are waiting for our waitress who has apparently disappeared, its not busy so its not as if she's busy with other customers. She finally appears so we get our check and then she disappeared for another significant period of time before we can give her our credit card.
I will say though, that the margaritas are very tasty so go for drinks but definitely NOT dinner.
The drinks are pretty tasty, I will give them that. -

Decided to go here before seeing a show because I have not been terribly impressed with any of the restaurants along the King strip (between Simcoe and Spadina). As others have already mentioned, mediocre food and the prices are grossly inflated.
The place itself is nice enough. A bit dark but cute Mexican touches in the decor. There is a patio too, but not the best location, on the busy sidewalk of John St.
We went on Thursday, which is sangria day - $4.95 for a glass. This was the only good thing about the night! The sangria Americana has a peach twist and was very yummy! Regularly, it is $11/glass or so.
We shared this melted cheese dip appetizer. It was served piping hot (the cheese was actually bubbling... a little scary) and was pretty tasty, although the cheese dip to tortillo ratio was not favourable. We inhaled it in a few minutes.
They also serve tortilla chips and salsa to every table. The salsa was very watery and lacked flavour.
I had the red snapper with salsa verde, which was just okay. The fish didn't seem all that fresh though. My friends has tacos. The portions were generous, but the prices were high -- around $18 per dish.
Service was hit and miss. They brought the appetizer quickly but took a long time with our entrees. If we hadn't come so early, I would've been worried about missing our show. We had multiple servers, which made things a bit disjointed. They were at least Spanish-speaking (looks like when A.S. went, there were no Spanish-speaking staff).
They also refused to split our bill (really? for just 3 people? when the restaurant is really not busy at all?).
Okay, back to square one for finding a decent and not overpriced restaurant in the Entertainment District... -

Are you kidding me. I'm not sure what's Spanish or Mexican about this place except for maybe the name and food. It's more of a lowbrow roadhouse a la Tijuana.
