Having moved here from the US, I found a lack of good, authentic, hearty Mexican fare west of the GTA. I was really starting to miss it. My sister was assigned the task of picking a restaurant downtown and she found this gem of a place on Queen St W. The place was pretty packed for a Thursday evening which I usually take as a good sign. We were greeted by a very pleasant server who knew the menu in and out and was able to help us modify our menus to suit our taste.
The tortilla soup had an earthy smoky flavour (yum). I ordered the chicken torta-- huge portion so I ended up taking half of it home. The sangria was fantastic albeit a little mild. But the best part of the course was the jicama, mango, avocado and cucumber salad. It amazing how simple ingredients, if fresh, can make such a simply prepared course so delectable.
Milagro Cantina gets two thumbs up from me! Definitely going back!
