Milagro is a Mexican cantina on Mercer Street that features more contemporary (and pricier) Mexican food than found elsewhere in the city. On the menu are favourites like tortilla soup, chiles rellenos, chicken tacos and fried plantains.

@ Doug.
It's not supposed to be California as it's supposed to be Mexican food. Living 10 months in Mazatlan, Mexico makes me somewhat of an expert on the subject of Mexican food. BTW, I'm not sure as to why that place has fried plantain on it's menu. Mexicans don't eat fried plantain. That is more of a Caribbean culture.
Haven't tried this yet. But regarding the previous comment, I don't think living 10 months in a country makes someone an expert on that country's food and it's the height of pretension to suggest otherwise.
If you must know fried plantains are delicious when covered with sugar or dipped in fresh crema with some cajeta. They are staple foods in the Yucatan and Quintanaroo regions ; which you experts should know is also known as the mexican Caribbean.
Milagro might no tbe the best example of what cheap mexican food is but they are honoring their heritage with tasty food...now if they could only make their margaritas bigger ?
I am still confused about the first post i guess california makes better food than mexico ?
Half of Mexico is on the Caribbean!
More like living 10 months in Mazatlan, Mexico makes you somewhat of an expert on the subject of Mazatlan's food.
They probably meant California has better Mexican food, which being from CA, I agree. Toronto yet has to give me a really great Mexican restaurant. I had high hopes for Milagro, they have great Margaritas and guacamole, but the dishes were just ok. Being a restaurant they try to 'fancy up' mexican food, when sometimes I really just want some good tacos or a burrito. I was hoping for a fish taco when I went. Milagro has good potential.
