| - The food was good, the service was very good.
It's a smallish, colorful place though quite nondescript from the outside. I went on a warm Sunday back in March (on a day like today, it seems like eons ago), when almost everybody was out on the streets.
The food is decent, though not as great as our server made it out to be. He breathlessly mentioned best-mexican-in-toronto and arcade fire and a whole bunch of other bands that eat there.
Complimentary tortilla chips and salsa were brought very promptly to our table, and then refilled very promptly too.
Our server was great at explaining the menu, which is pretty extensive. One in our party is vegetarian, and the server was thoughtful enough to mention that the burrito contained mayo which contained eggs. The mayo was removed, of course!
Our food was tasty and filling, but not very Mexican tasting. The vegetarian burritos were ginormous, with a large core of lettuce. Almost like eating a tortilla salad! The meat burritos were pretty decent. Is a burrito even a Mexican thing, or it just a white-person's- mexican creation, a la chicken tikka masala?
Special mention to the piddly bowl of hot salsa, that was really, really spicy.
I ordered a side of potatoes, that were very tasty, but again not sure if that's an authentic Mexican creation.
The alcoholic creations were a hit: the margaritas were very strong. Muy Bueno!
Milagro doesn't split bills, which is a bit annoying but thank god for my mental math skills and to everyone else who deigned to whip out their phone calculators despite the food coma.
Food: fresh and pretty tasty, but didn't seem very authentic to my non native tongue
Service: prompt, courteous and enthusiastic
Chances of being back: unfortunately not very large, but that's because there's much better Mexican to be had in the city.
