| - YEOWIE YUM!
Toronto Mexican sucked....until I found this place. Although it was strange being served Mexican food by a guy from Edinburgh, Scotland, the cook and ingredients are clearly right out of home (I'm from Southern California by way of Utah, USA. I KNOW good Mexican food, as it's been a staple in my diet for decades.
Milagro has a terrific ambiance, right out of Tolume. The food is righteous, the hot is hot, the mild is not, and it is spot-on for what I generally expect.
Prices are definitely not Mexican nor SoCal prices, but they are price-appropriate for Toronto. The wait for food was short, the margaritas in between were well-made and not shy on the tequila. The staff are friendly, efficient, and they participated in some of the pinata fun we had going on.
I can't recommend this place more highly. For the first time in Canada, I ordered second helpings for take-home, and the pork was just as spicy-sweet at home as it was in the restaurant.
In keeping with the tradition of improvement... Milagro; if a customer asks for a "small tub" to take home for seconds, I'd suggest being a tad more generous. I think the portions put on my plate were much larger than the portions I found in my bag when I got home. I was mildly disappointed in the size of the take-home portion.
